The Good Sister by Leanne Davis

4.0

Lindsay Bains Johanson has been raised to be the perfect daughter and now she is to be the perfect wife for Elliot Johanson. He has political aspirations and wants Lindsay to give up her own life to cater to whatever he needs. Yet at the same time he abuses her and Lindsay knows she needs to escape somehow but knows he will find her no matter where she is.

Jessie Hendricks is Lindsay's younger sister and is pregnant and working for Noah Clarke. When Lindsay comes out to visit her at the end of her pregnancy she begins to work for Noah but he is concerned with the amount of phone calls she receives from Elliot.

Will Lindsay open up to Jessie or Noah about what she is going through before it's too late and Elliot makes her come home?

This was such a great book and so full of emotion. I love that indie writers tackle such difficult subjects and I pray that it gives the strength to some women who may leave their own difficult situations because of it.

I thought Lindsay was such an amazing character as many people know women who have gone through what she was going through. She is a former army personnel and her father was very well known yet she found herself in an abusive relationship that she couldn't see a way out of. It was so heartbreaking as she knew she needed to escape but had no idea how.

My heart did break a little for Jessie not knowing what was happening to Lindsay. I knew Lindsay was worried about how Will would react but I wish she had confided in her sister.

Noah was gracious in letting Lindsay work for Jessie but I could understand how frustrated he was with Lindsay constantly getting phone calls from Elliot and how it looked to his customers. I could tell that Noah could tell something was off but Lindsay never opened up.

I was definitely freaking out when Elliott surprises Lindsay and the aftermath of that and his jealousy. I was shocked at the twist that occurred but happy that Noah was there to help Lindsay out.

I loved watching the gradual change in Lindsay and who she opened up to and how everything progressed in her life. I was crossing my fingers that Noah would stand a chance!!

The end of the book was absolutely amazing and I was so happy with what Lindsay did and then what happened right after!!

Looking forward to more in this series!
