Slip of the Tongue - By Jessica Hawkins
Synopsis
Her husband doesn't want her anymore. The man next door would give up everything to have her.Sadie Hunt isn't perfect-but her husband is. Nathan Hunt has her coffee waiting every morning. He holds her hand until the last second. He worships the Manhattan sidewalk she walks on. Until one day, he just...stops. And Sadie finds herself in the last place she ever expected to be. Lonely in her marriage.
When rugged and sexy Finn Cohen moves in to the apartment across the hall, he and Sadie share an immediate spark. Finn reveals dreams for a different life. Sadie wants to save her marriage. Their secrets should keep them apart, not ignite a blistering affair. But while Sadie's marriage runs colder by the day, she and Finn burn hotter.Slip of the Tongue can be read as a standalone, or as book 1 in the Slip of the Tongue series.
Jessica Hawkins has a way of reeling me in with her characters, although this was no different following Sadie’s character from her mishap of a marriage to a new whirlwind romance, it was exceptionally delightful.
I felt like I was on this roller coaster of infidelity with Sadie and understanding her choices of why constantly was on point with how well developed Sadie was. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Nathan, her husband, and I won’t spoil it for you. But reading it, you’ll understand why.
Sadie and Finn’s affair was a forbidden ride I wasn’t expecting. The ending itself had twists and turns and I swear I cranked my neck from it all — in a good way though.
I would highly recommend this read to you, especially if you enjoy love triangles, forbidden romance, and a slow burn as well.

I finally graduated with my nursing degree and now it’s time to celebrate. Out with my friends, I come across the man of my dreams. Tall, dark, and oh so sexy. When I see him with another woman, I move on, after all it’s just a night out and it’s time for me to focus on my career anyway.
Until we end up at the same hospital.
I had no idea he was a doctor, and now he’s become the forbidden fruit I see every day.

At this age, I’ve had it with relationships. Call me sour, but nobody is faithful, and I’d rather have a taste and move on.
Then, I run into the beauty from the club. I was attracted to her immediately, but didn’t make a move. Now, after spending some time with her, I might be convinced to change my tune about being a one-woman man. She’s smart, funny, and driven. Everything I’ve ever wanted.
But she’s a lot younger than me, can she be trusted? We’re locked into a contract at the hospital together, only one way to find out.
