Summary
Coleen Greenwood was overjoyed to meet James Scott, a heroic firefighter and man of her dreams. Little would she know her dreams would soon become a nightmare as his web of lies started to unravel.
The astonishing true story of one man’s lies and a family’s fight for justice.
This is the full untold story that was made into the BBC Sounds podcast series “Love-Bombed with Vicky Pattison” which reached No1 in the UK Apple podcasts playlist within the first week of its release. This story has been made into several television documentaries.
Critic reviews
“In my 23 years of policing, I have never encountered a man as manipulative as Greg Wilson... a compulsive liar who has shown absolutely no remorse... If somebody wrote this as a script for Coronation Street, it would be too outrageous.” – Detective Constable Chris Bentham

Excellent learning for women victims
The book was a fabulous read with lots of twists and turns.
Unbelievable story .
You have to read the book to believe this guy obsolunt fraudster. Seriously unbelievable.
I do not want to comment about his crimes and lies. Read the book to find out. "Unbelievable"
I am so pleased the twin sisters maintained strength and support for his other victims. There have also been some positive relationships formed as a result of these crimes and lies.
Both of you were very unlucky but blessed with such a loving family.
Go Charlie you sound like you are an adorable child. This little boy is the most positive part to come from this story.
Sending ongoing strength to all victims.
The story will have you gripped from start to finish.
Excellent "eye opener for all women"
Thank you to the sisters for writing the book hope you both have been able to find closure.

I couldn't stop listening.
A most interesting story, well written and the narrator was excellent. What a horrible and despicable person this Greg Wilson was and is. It is incomprehensible the things he did to Colleen, her sister and family. He should have received a longer sentence wrecking people's lives like that. I wish Colleen well and family.
