(20)Mother May I by Joshilyn Jackson

 

Bree Cabbat leads a charmed life. She married a wealthy man from a powerful and wealthy family,  They have two teen daughters and an infant son, Robert. After growing up poor, with a single mother,  Bree never dreamed that she would live a life that included private schools and black Amex cards. But now she can't imagine her life without them. One day while Bree is the "snacks mom" after play practice, she turns her back for just a minute, and their life changes forever. Somebody has taken Robert. The kidnapper, an elderly woman with nothing to lose, has given Bree one simple task to complete. If she does this one thing, she will get her baby back. But she must tell nobody. So Bree does it, but with tragic consequences. Will Bree be able to save her baby and keep her happy life intact?

Some of the dark twists in Mother May I really surprised me. One thing to remember is that no matter how perfect somebody's life looks from the outside, there are always secrets. Bree Cabbat was nearly perfect as a mother and wife, yet not perfect enough to keep her baby safe. I really liked her relationship with her best friend's husband, Marshal. He was everything that Trey was not, but he also shared a similar background to Bree and Betsy, making him more approachable. This fast-paced novel really had me on the edge of my seat - desperate to know what was going to happen. And things did not turn out how I (or Bree) expected. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.

Bottom Line - Mother May I is the kind of domestic thriller that will put fear into the heart of any mother's heart. Fast-paced and full of twists, you will not be able to put this book down.
