Eight months ago, Violet left her husband Damien and her two children, Trevor and Amanda, in the middle of the night with only a note saying she wanted a divorce and was getting help on the east coast. Her friends Brittany, Lara and Nikki had taken to helping Damien out when they could. It was easier for Brittany, a single mom, so she was there frequently.
Brit’s daughter Libby and Amanda are friends and play well together often having sleepovers when Damien was called in at night for surgery. The book opens with one of those nights. To her embarrassment, on their arrival Brit’s car dies. Unlike the others in their Bad Housewives Club her finances were a lot tighter.
When Damien returns that night, he offers to pay her for all the time she’s put in with his children and she refuses. He then comes up with a better plan.
Working part-time for Damien puts them in close quarters and the attraction between them grows.
Although he is not yet divorced, he is confident he would soon have those papers in hand and this attraction turns into sizzling heat rather quickly.
I love the twists in this book and Damien and Brit make a great couple.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for this group of friends!
Not really!
Brit is a single mom that is trying to better their life. Her “best friend” has deserted her husband Damian and child. She and her friends have been helping him out, and when he asks her to attend a gathering with him for the burn center he hopes to build she agrees. They soon acknowledge their mutual attraction, and … As always the characters and story are brought to life by Ms. Falcone’s talented writing skills in this truly enjoyable read.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Another great story by this author. Not your regular “hook-up with your best friend ‘s husband”. The attraction for each comes as a surprise to both of the main characters, especially since one is married to her best friend; but the best friend has walked away from the family. They both fight the guilt they feel but their attraction for each other seems to grow each time they see each other. One thing leads to another and they find themselves in a situation. The story is very believable, one that can happen to anyone in their situation. They hit wondrous highs and depressing lows. As you can see I try hard not to give spoilers, just an outline of what you can expect. Believe me, there is a lot between my lines. A beautiful story of love and understanding, one that leads to a very happy outcome. Grab this amazing love story ASAP and you won’t be sorry.
I absolutely adored Brit and Damian’s story.
Brit seems to be the caretaker of the group. She cares for everyone else and is there to help others and asks for nothing in return.
While I wasn’t 100% sold on the idea of falling for your best friends ex-husband, I get it with these characters. Violet and Damian may have been married for a while and have 2 children, but I don’t think they every really opened up and allowed themselves the chance to be a couple. For Damian to be so closed off to Violet and for her to have secrets from her past that he never knew it seems they were always going to be doomed.
But Brit seems to bring out a side of Damian that even Violet had to admit she never saw in all their years together. She shows him that he hasn’t really been enjoying life or his kids.
However, is Brit finally going to take the plunge and take hold of her own happiness?
Brit has several things going for and against here. She is raising her daughter alone, money is tight, she feels unattractive and one of her best friends left her family without any reasons. Now she helping the friend’s husband take care of children when an emergency happen as he is a surgeon . When Damian finds himself noticing more about Brit and she him. Emotions of all kinds are coming out in this story, Seeing two people coming together with love but what will happen when her friend comes back to Damien. Will she loose the man she loves, what about her other friends, How will this end? Read this series in order as characters make appearance’s in other books in this series.
Ok I definitely loved this book even more than the first. This story is a spin on the taboo story of friend falling in love with her best friends husband. This book will have you rooting for their happily ever after. I cant wait to read Violet’s Story and find out why she acts the way she does.
“I was so dying to read Brit’s story and finally it’s here. I really like her character she was funny and start though I didn’t like the whole “of a my friends I’ve always been the one with less money’ that’s pointless and so low esteem but apart of it the story was really good. Did I mention how amazing Damian was? He was utterly perfect without a doubt. Though what happened to him was bad but it was the opportunity for something new right? Shout out to Brit’s project!!! I’m so excited for Violet story too but d*mn Theo is such an… I hope she’ll make him suffer lol.”
Damien find himself in a fix when Violet suddenly abandons her family. All the girls are helping him out, but Brit catches his attention unintentionally, and much to his own surprise. Emotions run high for the obvious reasons, then lust settles in. I loved this book.
This is the second book in the series. This book had me at single parent romance.I loved Brit and Damian. Now Brit is in a bit of a pickle since she’s beginning to look at her best friend’s ex-husband in a whole new light. Though Brit and Damian have explosive chemistry I thought they were sweet together as well. I loved the way that Brit brought out a side of Damian he didn’t even know existed. The interaction between them and the children was heartwarming. Some of my favorite scenes in the book. Another favorite part was Brit getting to achieve her dreams. Someone with her heart deserves it. This was an enjoyable read that gave me heat, heart, and humor.
