Former U.S. Attorney, Meredith Walsh, took some time off to raise her children. But the time took away everything she once trusted about herself. She’s lost within the mundane confines of her children's schedules of lacrosse, soccer, Cub Scouts, and math facts. Desperate for a sliver of her former passion, and isolated in the small town her corporate husband relocated her to, she counsels herself on risking her family for the rush of a fling.
But Vincent Pratt, the local chief of police, weakens Meredith’s abhorrence of affairs and her dedication to her family. With him, she finds a new version of herself, one capable of contributing in her new world, and thriving in her lonely home. In spite of the fact, she’s not the kind of woman who has an affair.

Interesting
By SHegyes
I received this eBook for free in exchange for an honest review.
The Good
I wasn't hooked on the idea of this book at first because it is, ultimately, about cheating, but the writing style in which it's told and the look inside the reasons behind the occurrence of the affair really blow this story out of the water. I felt every pain, saw every bit of logic behind her decision, and understood it.
The Bad
Affairs end tragically. The spouse finds out, and whether the marriage is a good one or a bad one, affairs destroy families - a fact that's never forgotten in this book because the narrator, Meredith, won't let us. It's a constant reminder throughout the book: to herself, to the reader, and even to her lover. Over and over and over again, we're reminded of how bad affairs can get, and despite all the bad things, the affair continues until we're bludgeoned to death with the idea.
The Review
While the book sort-of ends on a cliff-hanger, it can stand on its own too, which I like. I really do like stand-alone novels (or books I can satisfyingly pretend are stand-alone novels *ahem* Fifty Shades of Grey). That said, I enjoyed the writing style of this novel as well as the characters and their motivations/ideals, and I will probably read the sequel/conclusion of this novel, The Lion's Den.

Fantastic duet, loved it
By DonnaC
The Devil’s Playground &
The Lion’s Den by Eliza Freed
4 stars & 4.5 stars!!!!
“This was nothing but a dangerous distraction. It was the devil’s playground.”
These two books are a duet and ones that I read one after the other, only taking the mandatory toilet breaks and of course feeding the husband and kids, they were that addictive. Yes, this book does contain cheating which I know is a major turn off for some readers, however, the way that Meredith’s story is delivered is sympathetic, understandable and totally consuming.
“I’ve stopped time and have you all to myself, and in the moments I’m quiet, I’m trying to figure out how to never start it again.”
The Devils Playground is totally told in Meredith’s point of view and brings to the forefront just how lost she feels. Having been forced to move to the suburbs by her husband, to a house that she didn’t want and an area where she knew no-one she had never felt so isolated. Once a high flying attorney Meredith’s life is now monotonous, predictable and totally orbits around the lives of her two hilarious children. Meredith’s kids are the light of her majorly dim life and if it wasn’t for them she would have given up a long time ago.
Meredith’s husband, Brad, still lives the single life. He “works” all the hour’s god sends and is never ever around. Leaving the house in the early hours and rarely home before 10pm. Always attending happy hours, company dinners and a plethora of parties, leaving Meredith and the kids behind. “Work” invades his weekends and he really is a stranger in the night. I had my suspicions about Brad from the very beginning, he tried to come across as perfect and being the bread winner for the family, but when someone is so perfect, more often than not they are not, they are always hiding something.
“He’d wanted me so much back then, and I’d wanted him to have me. I just hadn’t realised how much he would take.”
Vince, I ADORED this man, he was the Colonel, the head of police in this little community and everyone loved him. He was the one stable person of authority that everyone relied upon and he was selfless. He helped everybody, was a volunteer for all school and community functions and was a real pillar of the community. He had a wife and family too, but in the past two years he had really been at the point of his life where he was re-evaluating everything.
“He was magnificent. A souvenir I hadn’t paid for, the vacation I didn’t earn. He was stolen goods, and I never wanted to return them, but I also knew I wouldn’t do the time to keep him. The cost was too high.”
When Meredith and Vincent’s paths cross the attraction is undeniable, the chemistry is palpable and the kindle literally combusted. But Meredith is a woman of morals and was adamant that she would never have an affair. Eliza Freed really captured that push and pull of attraction, that back of forth of conscience over emotion and the true fight to do what is right and to try and make the right choices.
“This won’t work if you’re in love with me. A mistake will be made.”
“It isn’t a mistake.”
“It’s worse. We’re a tragedy.”
As much as I should have been rooting for these two to steer clear of each other there was no denying their attraction and it really was a foregone conclusion. This was not just an attraction of lust but they had an undeniable friendship, a soul mate connection that grew and grew the more and more they spent in each other’s company. It is this intense connection that managed to shift my moral compass firmly in their corner. I would never condone an affair, however, these two were perfect for each other and with such a crappy husband who showed her no affection, no attention and literally used her, it was no surprise that she strayed. However, it was not an easy choice and one that she battled with for a long time.
“Brad didn’t realize I wasn’t some twenty-five-year-old he was effing. I was his wife, and I was already gone.”
The Lion’s Den was fast paced and action packed and was told in three POV’s, Brad, Vince and Meredith. Eliza Freed really delivers an epic conclusion to this duet that will have you on the edge of your seat while delivering curve ball after curve ball.
“Just follow your heart. It’ll lead you home.”
“What if my heart lost its memory too?”
Everyone’s story is told in this book and finally you get to see the behind scenes, warts and all which only added another dimension to the twisted that Eliza Freed has penned.
“When a married man had an affair with a young girl, he was the only one having an affair. She was dating.”
This duet was totally addictive, unputdownable and for me, an easy, quick read. Meredith’s kids really add the fun factor to this story and created many a laugh out loud moment as I sympathised with the endless, monotonous unanswerable questions that kids manage to pluck out of thin air and of course you cannot beat their unique fashion sense. Meredith was the epitome of a mama bear, her kids always came first and foremost and she would lay her life down for them, her life was her kids until someone showed her that she deserved a life too.
“I was unhappy-horribly unhappy-and lonely. I let you fix what you never broke. I let you fill a spot you never vacated. I slipped into the darkness, because I’d follow you to hell if you asked me to.”
This was a beautiful story that will have you heart swooning, while the suspense will have your stomach tied up in knots. It’s emotional in places but perfectly balanced with wit and humour that will also have you laughing out loud. For a cheating story, it worked, it wasn’t illicit, it was two people that found love when they weren’t looking. I cannot wait to read more from this author, my only complaint…I WANT AN EPILOGUE!!!!!
“I’m Daniel, and my marriage is the lion’s den.”

Another amazing read from Eliza Freed!
By Christina
Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve come to the conclusion that if Eliza Freed writes it, I will read it. Freed demonstrated her writing chops with the N/A Lost Souls series, but the Faraway series takes on the very adult, very difficult theme of adultery. While this trope might be a non-starter for some, I highly suggest you check this one out. There are themes that may be familiar to anyone in a long-term committed relationship, especially when it comes to the realization that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
"It's like our kids steal our beauty. They steal our lives, and all we can do is helplessly give them every ounce of it because we love them more than ourselves."
Meredith gave up her professional life as a US District Attorney in order to pursue the suburban American dream; professional husband, two kids, the McMansion, the rolling green hills behind the white picket fence. But little did she realize is that she would lose her own identity in the process; the drive and ambition that was at the soul of her very being. So when she strikes up an easy friendship with the town sheriff Vincent, she starts to flourish and appreciate small town life. The friendship soon becomes physical, but Meredith isn’t the type of woman to have an affair, is she?
Told in the first person from Meredith’s point of view, it is very easy to get lost in all of the feelings she is experiencing. Balancing a new romance, a failing marriage, a complicated friendship all while acting as a constant and active present in her children’s lives proves to wear on her quickly, and we see all of those factors affect the decisions she makes. It’s easy to get caught up in Meredith’s rationalization, the relationship with Vincent acting almost like a drug in her need for it.
The book ends on a cliffhanger and I was dying to get my hands on the next book, it was just that good. It’s really hard to decide which to root for: the new, exciting, whirlwind romance or the decade long investment. Ultimately it’s not a situation Meredith can sustain, but her decisions might have consequences that reach much further than just her own personal happiness.
