    About this audiobook



    Regina Moore and Karen Jackson, lifelong best friends, are living the kind of life most women only fantasize about. With beautiful homes, fulfilling careers, and two adoring husbands, their joy could not be greater, their worlds could not be richer. But suddenly, shattering truths about the loving men they thought they knew turn happiness into anguish and rage. For Karen and Regina, nothing they believed in or cherished can ever be the same as it was.

    Yet, in the painful process of starting over, new doors will open, and two women who once had it all will rediscover the power of honesty and friendship . . . and learn the true scope and meaning of love.

      3.5 Stars

      Synopsis:
      Security expert, Seth Mackay seeks revenge against the man responsible for the murder of his brother, and he will go to any lengths including stalking his target's latest flame, Raine Cameron. What Seth doesn't know is that Raine has her own agenda, but when the two meet, sparks fly and all is forgotten until Raine becomes the object of obsession for a madman...

      Review:
      Despite the intricate and well-paced plot, this book is not without its flaws. To begin with, the hero is completely obnoxious and domineering. While it is obvious that his rough exterior is merely a façade meant to conceal the insecurities of a man who was neglected as a boy and who has lost the only person he ever loved, I found it difficult to identify with him because this wall never comes down not even at the end when he has supposedly learned to love and trust again. The heroine, however, does grow and change throughout the story and becomes more likeable. As the tale begins, she is annoyingly naïve and a complete doormat but thankfully develops a backbone and begins standing up for herself. I liked the fact that she knew how to put the hero in his place both in and outside of the bedroom.

      In terms of the secondary characters, the book has two villains – one completely diabolical and the other quite witty and charming. This is actually one of the few books in which I found myself liking the “bad guy”. Despite his machinations, he has true affection for the heroine and makes the ultimate sacrifice for her (you’ll just have to read it to find out what I mean).

      The writing flows and Ms. McKenna definitely knows how to write a love scene. Nevertheless, I found that her descriptions of the various surveillance technologies and techniques were excessive; the role play scenes were irritating and the supernatural overtones out of place. The book is supposedly a romantic suspense and the paranormal aspects detract from the overall reading experience.

      Overall, I enjoyed it enough to read the next book in the series, which according to all reports only get better from this point on.

      Really enjoyed, it was like listening to a regular conversation between friends and not reading or listening to a book. Will read more of this authors books.
    • 4/5
      I liked how it showed two different situations that can happen in a marriage. I think the book ended too quickly.
    • 3/5
      I thought this book was ok... I was just disappointed at the ending. I think I was expecting a bigger climax.
    • 5/5
      I LOVED IT! Loved it! Good read! I'm satisfied ❤
    • 2/5
      A lot of cussing for what I’m used to in KLR books. Lots of stereotypes too. I also wish there was an epilogue of some sort because it felt very abrupt in ending. I’m aware that this was written quite some time ago, I believe KLR’s writing has grown so much since this was written
    • 4/5
      I liked it just a little slow in the beginning.
    • 4/5
      Behind Closed Doors was pretty good. Seth was a little much to take sometimes. He was extremely Alpha and was not always kind to Raine. However, even with all of his idiocy, he truly did care about her. The suspense was exciting and Raine grew enough of a backbone to deal with all the stuff thrown at her. It kept my interest and I want to read the rest of the series now.
    • 5/5
      This is one of my first Romantic-suspense I read. Very sexy and romantic.
    • 4/5
      Great book. Not a fan of the narration. A bit too urban to not be read by an urban narrator.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book written by an incredible author. Can’t wait to read the next book
    • 5/5
      Her books are always amazing a must read, you won’t be disappointed.
    • 5/5
      I love George Clooney, but I loathe the sinister Jack Angel.

      If it sounds, looks, or feels too good to be true, chances are it is. And it would be well for one to run like hell.

      Though some of us strive to obtain perfection, well, perfection is simply unobtainable, as we humans are all flawed. Madness, on the other hand, is a completely different matter. And Behind Closed Doors exposes the psychologically deranged perfectly. (Gasp!) Did I say that word? Perfectly?

      B A Paris's Behind Closed Doors is one exceptional novel! From the first chapter, it comes out of the gate at full speed, and doesn't stop until the gut-wrenching end. And I love it. I love this book. It is truly creepy and undoubtedly suspenseful.

      The plot is perfect - that word "perfect" again - as the story unfolds in both past and present tense, in the first person narrative of our protagonist, Grace. And I just couldn't get through the pages of this terrifying tale fast enough. The story will grip its readers and pull them with all of its might into the realm of its characters' lives. I felt as though I were right there with Grace and Millie, and found myself thanking God for inquisitive folks like Esther.
      In truth, I wished that I could go into the story and bash Jack Angel's friggin' skull in. That's how gripping this book is. You'll feel like you're there ... Right there in the intense and suspenseful action. Excellent and worth every one of the 5 stars of this review.

      Never underestimate anyone. Millie is sheer genius! And so is Grace.

      (Original Kindle review.)

      Great book! Extraordinary narrator who really made the story come alive!
    • 5/5
      Well written and before its time, we see a whole new generation of women who are providing for themselves, Regina, and Karen had their own issues but yet supported one another, this book is timeless as well as prevalent.
