What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
When Kelly's relationship ends, she doesn't know who to turn to. Until her friend Sabrina offers her a spare room for the summer. Unlike Kelly, Sabrina has it all. A glamorous career. A handsome, high-powered husband. And a huge house, complete with a swimming pool.
At first, they share a friendship. But one wine-fuelled evening, Sabrina and Nathan make a confession: they want to open up their marriage.
It's an irresistible prospect. The ultimate rebound, with no strings attached. Until Kelly makes a discovery: Sabrina and Nathan have done this before. And the last woman to share their bed is missing...

Critics Review
A compulsive, easy, fun summer read
A story that is equal parts steamy and thrilling, it will leave you guessing about what the couple’s motives really are
The novel is delightfully salacious and rampant with suspense and sex, and there’s a reason why Bartz is known as a hitmaker in the field
Andrea Bartz has returned to deliver. This suspense story set in a Virginia mansion features some eyebrow-raising twists, especially when protagonist Kelly finds herself charmed by her hosts-and welcomed into their bed
A fresh and sexy ride, perfect for reading poolside
Bartz always brings a healthy portion of social satire and incisive observation to her thrillers
An enticing, twisty, and seductive thriller about obsession, desire, and revenge
Bartz’s latest showstopper kept me up all night turning pages. Propulsive and sexy, The Spare Room left me gasping for air as I followed its main character into the fiery heart of a dark, complicated romance. Kelly Doyle must contend not only with two new lovers, but her own expectations surrounding relationships and sexuality. This is one visit you won’t want to end
I love a story where a woman throws convention to the wind and has to deal with messy consequences, and The Spare Room does it brilliantly. I never knew what would happen next! This book offers a delicious mix of romance and mystery that I couldn’t get enough of
With its dazzling prose, fascinating dynamics between characters, and dark, twisty plot, The Spare Room has all the trademarks of an Andrea Bartz novel – while being her sexiest and most exciting book yet. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Some of these scenes will be seared into my brain forever
