Book Summary:

It’s an offer she can’t refuse…and can’t escape.

True: Charlotte has an unsavory past. She married the wrong man, got caught up in his con artist games, took what wasn’t hers. She got out, though: divorced Sam, started fresh.

False: She left him before things went too far. Nothing bad happened.

True: Sam is missing, and before he disappeared, he left cryptic messages about someone threatening him—someone who has been threatening Charlotte, too.

True: She’s on the straight and narrow, has accepted a job as a personal assistant for an engagement party on board a private luxury cruise ship, the Cleobella.

False: No one on board knows about her past, and she’s far away from anyone who means her harm.

As the Cleobella sails through its glittering destinations—the Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago—increasingly sinister events haunt the guests, and the turquoise waves and sun-drenched beaches give way to something darker. Someone knows what Charlotte did. Is it the blushing bride? The seemingly placid mother-in-law? Or the mysterious heiress?

Someone knows, and someone wants revenge—before the ship reaches its final port.

The Ex-Husband by Karen Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the story but it didn't wow me. This is a story about 2 con artists.
Charlotte Wilson didn't choose a life of crime. It chose her. Once introduced to the world of wealthy clients and easy money by her ex-husband on board cruise ships, Charlotte was hooked. However, complacency and greed led to a slip-up with devastating consequences. Her ex winds up dead and Charlotte is threatened with exposure.
Charlotte and Sam seem to have a great relationship at first. Then we get to know Sam from the past. The story is the present and goes to the past all throughout the book.
Charlotte works at a wedding,on a yacht. She is trying to find out who sent her messages to her phone. She also thinks Sam is not dead and it may be him sending the messages. Things start happening to her and her life seems to be in danger.
My thoughts, I didn't like Sam from the beginning and felt that Charlotte should have run far away. we do know at the beginning that they are not together anymore and she doesn't scam people anymore.
Thanks to Wildfire and NetGalley for the book to review.
