An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.
New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee continues her sassy series with another of the First Wives finding that love and secrets are a dangerous combination.
Trina Petrov’s marriage-by-contract was only meant to be temporary. But when tragedy strikes, Trina is left one of the wealthiest women in the world. To recover from the shock, … women in the world. To recover from the shock, she takes some time off in Italy, swearing not to fall for any men while there. But that doesn’t mean she can’t fall for anyone on the trip home…
Country-music superstar Wade Thomas is lying low in a hotel bar when he gets the cold shoulder from the woman next to him. He’s used to fans fawning at his boots, and Trina is a refreshing change—so is the fact that she has no idea who he is.
As things begin to heat up, Trina discovers that the circumstances of her late husband’s death are not what they seemed. Now she’s in trouble, and Wade isn’t about to let her out of his sight. Getting close to love and danger could get them killed…or it could sweep them both off their feet.

This was actually my first book by Catherine Bybee. She’s been on my radar for a long time, but I’d just never gotten around to reading her. I can honestly say that she’s got me hooked. I was not expecting the suspense and trauma that was in this story, but she kept me turning the pages. The marriage by contract concept of the story was also surprising to me.
I found the relationship between Trina and Wade to be very heartwarming. I loved that she didn’t know who he was when they met. I also loved how he was determined to stick by her when the violence started and it became apparent that she was the target. He was totally out of his league (there were lots of big bodyguards involved and lots of guns), but he wanted to do his part to protect her. It took their relationship a while to really heat up, but the results were sweet and sexy.
I will definitely go back and read the first book in the series and look for the rest of the books as they come out! I received a copy of this via Netgalley.

I love this authors writing but for me this book is by far her best work it’s jam packed with hot handsome alpha males, plenty of romance, but it was the mystery and the lot of twists and turns that made this book for me. The characters have depth and chemistry and you are drawn in from the very first page, looking forward to next in this brilliant series.
5.0 Star Review Half Empty (First Wives #2) by Catherine Bybee
There is something about Catherine Bybee’s style of writing that resonates with me. She weaves a story that has me invested from the very start.
Katrina “Trina” Petrov intrigued me when she appeared in Fool Me Once and I was excited to find out that this was her story. Throw in hot and swoon worthy Country-music superstar Wade Thomas and you know your in for a treat.
Escaping to Italy to come to terms with the sudden death due to suicide,of her husband Fedor, Trina finds herself struggling to comes to terms with how her life has turned out.
From the first moment they bump into each other the sparks fly and the air around them sizzles. Ms.Bybee creates characters that are strong, yet vulnerable and you know that there will be plenty of romance and some rather steamy scenes.
When Trina and her fellow “First Wives” Club member Avery catch a lift home with Wade, the sparks continue. Helping Trina to clear out her husband things, Avery is attacked and it seems there is more to Trina’s husbands death than first thought and now her life is in danger.
Wade is determined to protect Trina no matter the cost. Will he be successful? Or will Fedor’s father finally succeed in getting rid of Trina once and for all?

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book which was provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
I love how genuine the characters in this book are. They all have the ability to be snobbish and standoffish but there are real. Wade is a country music star and almost everyone around him wants something but Trina doesn’t even know who he is. The best part is that she has more money than he does so that isn’t between them. From their first meeting in the hotel bar, so cliché like, the attraction was there. Trina is recovering from losing her husband to suicide and Wade is just looking to be anonymous. Together they both get what they want while keeping those around them on their toes.
Catherine Bybee’s talent pulls the reader in from the very beginning and never lets them go. I was entirely invested in the story, the characters, and the outcome. Even when I had to get on with the real world I read a few more pages needing to finish a paragraph or a chapter before I could put the book down. Then I would rush to get back to it so I could read more.
Half Empty is part of a series but it is a stand-alone book. The characters all have their own story with an ending to each book. Yet they make appearances in each other’s stories allowing the reader to catch up with them and see where their lives are taking them.
I absolutely loved the premise of the First Wives club – the set-up was unique, the characters were real, and the book pulled me in from the start and kept me engaged right through to the end.
Trina is still recovering from her husband’s death – even though it was supposed to be just a temporary, marriage of convenience arrangement, she did come to care for Fedor and was shook when he took his own life. With the one-year anniversary of Fedor’s death coming up, Trina is still trying to come to terms with all the changes that his death has brought. I loved her introspection and how thoughtful she was. She knows that she still needs time to make sense of where she is emotionally, but she doesn’t shut herself off to the possibilities…just takes time to make sure she’s ready for the choices she makes.
Even though Wade is famous, he’s still very real and down to earth. He knows and even sometimes plays to his fame, but his actions speak to his desire to be seen for him, and not the fame that his singing has brought. When he meets Trina he can’t believe she doesn’t know who he is – which makes her even more intriguing to him. He can be the fun and flirty cowboy, but those who truly know Wade know that he’s also caring, thoughtful, and loyal to those he cares about.
I loved the backdrop of the suspense to the romance between Wade in Trina. What starts as the beginning of a love story between these two quickly turns into a dangerous adventure. I loved Wade’s unquestioning support and doing whatever he needed to help Trina, but my favorite part was watching Trina’s friends circle the wagons and do whatever was needed to protect and support each other.
This is the second book I’ve read by Catherine Bybee and I am impressed once again by her ability to make her characters step off the page. There’s a realness and emotion that is written into each page and it makes it so easy to get caught up in the story. The quick pacing and plot were perfect for the story that was told and I can’t wait to dive into the next book!
This is one that is a must for anyone’s TBR shelf!
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book I received from the publisher from NetGalley.
Trina has just been going through the motions, trying to avoid life as well as her friends. A year after the suicide of her husband, and the circus media that resulted, has seen her sink even further into an emptiness she feels she will never crawl out of. When a late night bar visit brings her shoulder to shoulder with Wade, she wants to let go and believe there is goodness in men, but her past indicates otherwise. In an effort to miss out on the First Wives next get together, she ends up in a hotel with the handsome singer to wait out a storm.
Wade is drawn to Trina from the very first. She is beautiful and a bit quirky but with a sadness that should not have a place in the depth of her eyes. It is to his benefit that she needs rescuing from her friends and he takes full advantage of it. Unfortunately, they both eventually go their own ways but when he takes the chance to invite her to his ranch in Texas, she accepts.
This is an action filled, mysterious and suspenseful read with plenty of country romance in the form of darlin’s and little ladies. Even as Wade made me fall in love with his wholesome goodness, I was pulled deeper and deeper into the dark mystery of Trina’s deceased husband and the money that now surrounds her. With a cast of characters to add depth and emotion to the story, I consumed this book as quickly as possible. It was just oh so good!
This is relatively low angst in regards to Wade and Trina’s relationship. Most of the drama arose from outside sources and danger. The chemistry between these two was electric from the beginning and yet they didn’t rush it and allowed it to progress naturally. As a result, there was plenty of steam when the time arrived. As a cherry on top of all this deliciousness was a wonderful epilogue that made me giddy with happiness.

HALF EMPTY (First Wives #2) by Catherine Bybee is the latest in her First Wives contemporary romance series with a suspense subplot carried over from the first book. This is Katrina “Trina” Petrov’s story and it can be read as a standalone, but for a full understanding of the relationship between all of the First Wives, you may want to read “Fool Me Once” the first book in this series.
Katrina “Trina” Petrov became one of the wealthiest woman in America when her temporary first husband committed suicide. As the one year anniversary of his death approaches, Trina is vacationing in Venice and does not know what to do with rest of her new life. Called back to Texas by the other First Wives, Trina tries her best to slow her return.
Stuck in a hotel due to a storm, she has the last order of food coming out of the kitchen. A charming man two seats down at the bar has missed dinner too and strikes up a conversation with Trina. She is willing to share her food, but has no interest in the man. This is an intriguing and somewhat novel occurrence for Wade Thomas, the famous country music star.
Wade Thomas finds Trina to be a novelty. She does not know who he is, she does not need his money and she does not need his connections. What he does want to do for her is to chase away the sadness in her eyes and make her smile. Sure, he wants more, but he surprises himself by wanting to take it slow.
When Trina’s best friend, Avery is brutally attacked all of the friends from book one work to take care of the threat against Trina for good. Wade may not understand everything that is happening, but he knows he wants to protect Trina and is willing to help her any way he can. A secret is about to be revealed that brings the enemy into the open and could be the death of Trina and/or her friends.
I loved Trina and Wade together. The romance was entertaining and fun with the couple’s dialogue and communications so honest and realistic. Even with the short time frame, the author does a great job of writing in a friendship before the sexual relationship. The sex does not occur until later in the book and fit there perfectly. I was also intrigued throughout the story with the suspense subplot. I am looking forward to finding out who the other First Wives will find their HEA with. I will also be looking forward to the return of the mysterious Sasha.
Catherine Bybee always, always delivers when it comes to romantic suspense thrillers. Half Empty might be considered contemporary romance but it’s so much more. The second book in the First Wives series it has an overarching plot carried over from the first book, definitely recommended to read that one before Half Empty to get a fuller appreciation for the whole plot. The romance is between instant and slow since there was dating! But of course the thriller suspense aspect definitely pushed the romance as quickly as the action. Highly recommended if you like your romance with a lot more suspense thriller in them.
Wow! Awesome contemporary romantic suspense by winning author Ms. Bybee. The First Wives is a series that the characters relate to the previous set of Weekday Brides. Trina is one of the club and she’s trying to come to terms with the anniversary of her husband’s suicide. Wade is at the bar and introduces himself to Trina and is surprised she has no idea he’s a famous country western singer. The mystery behind the storyline evolves from the beginning of the book till the end. The author keeps you on edge to know the outcomes of several secondary characters. I received a complementary copy of this book via Net Galley and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books, especially in this series, by this author.
**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
Catherine Bybee is always a one-click author for me and I was excited to dive into this second book in the First Wives series. Per usual, I was not disappointed and in fact, this is one of my favorite Bybee books to date. Sometimes you can’t explain what makes you connect with a certain book or the characters it contains and while this book fits into that category, no complaints from me!
Trina Petrov has had a rough year. While her marriage was by contract only, she wasn’t expecting the explosive ending to it nor how it was going to make her wealthy beyond belief. To get away from it all, she takes a solo trip to Italy and her only rule is she can’t fall for anyone. While she didn’t, what is it that they say about best laid plans? Yeah, it may not have been while in Italy, but a chance encounter on her way back to Texas might just change the course of her life.
Wade Thomas is a popular country singer who has just finished up his tour. While most people think he’s already vacated the town where the tour ended, he is really laying low and trying to find some dinner. He also encounters Trina who immediately shoots down his attempts to hit on her. She’s having none of it and claims to not even know who Wade is. When he realizes that’s true, it’s a breath of fresh air to him and he is immediately intrigued by everything about the woman he ultimately ends up sharing dinner with.
Knowing that she needs to tend to the remainder of her late husband’s affairs, Trina heads to the Hamptons with her friend Avery in tow while Wade heads back to Texas. Wade is determined to get Trina to give him a chance and so he invites her to a party at his ranch. Trina finally decides to go and while she and Wade connect and are having a fantastic time, things back in New York are taking a dangerous turn. Once Trina hears of the happenings in the Hamptons, she heads back to try to deal with all that’s going on and to her surprise, Wade insists on going with her. Will these two be able to make a go of it, especially given all the baggage that Trina comes with? Or will this tear them apart before they really get a chance to start?
As I said at the start, there was something about this book that had me completely captivated. From the characters (and I mean all of them, not just the main characters), to the touches of suspense mixed in with the romance and the humor, this was by far one of my favorite Bybee reads, and trust me, I have loved most everything she’s ever written! I always feel like Bybee novels have an effortlessness about them and once you get into a reading groove, you just don’t want to stop. Half Empty was definitely that kind of book for me and I highly recommend you pick it up for yourself!
At the one year anniversary of her ‘husband’s’ suicide, Katrina ‘Trina’ Petrov just wants to be alone and far away from her friends and family. Her other ‘First Wives Club’ friends want her to come home for their monthly meeting. Deciding to stall as long as possible, Trina ends up purposefully delaying her return to the US. Suffering from jet lag and children in the next hotel room crying, she heads to the hotel bar in Miami since she’s hungry and can’t sleep! While in the bar, she meets Wade who happens to be a Country Music star just off of a tour. Trina has no idea who he is…and now the story takes off!
Wade needs Trina to make sure his ex-girlfriend understands what ex means. Trina stumbles across some issues from her husband’s suicide, that makes the cause of death seem more like homicide. Trina’s friend is critically injured helping Trina. Wade is becoming more and more emotionally involved with Trina, and all the First Wives Club players come out to make sure their issues are safeguarded.
The perfect combination of heat, heart, passion, and suspense, this is a fabulous second installment in the First Wives Club series!
You need to read this book!
Half Empty is the second book in the First Wives series by the fabulous Catherine Bybee. I loved the first book and I was a little afraid this one wasn’t going to be as good and I’m so glad I was wrong. I already loved Trina and knew she needed to find a good solid man to win her heart. Wade turned out to be that man plus more. Trina doesn’t need or want a man, but the night she meets Wade, there’s just something about him. She stops his advances but he’s so intrigued by her that he’s not going to just walk away. Especially since she has no idea who he is. A rich, famous, country singer. She doesn’t want anything from him and that’s very refreshing. They quickly become friends who want more. But what happens when danger starts to chase them and their budding romance? Will Wade run for the hills or be the arms for Trina to run into? Can Trina and the girls trust Wade? I loved this story! Trina is so much stronger than she thinks she is. She’s bent but not broken. Wade is sexy as sin! He’s funny and handsome and is a really good man. Avery cracked me up! And of course Lori, Reed and Shannon were also great! I love this group of men and women and I can’t wait for more.
“I have never worked this hard for a first date in my whole life.”
“Funny, but it looked to me like Wade Thomas wanted to lick the cherry right off the top of Trina’s ice cream sundae.”
“You’re pretty demanding.”
“Oh darlin’, I’m one hundred percent demanding. Which is probably why I’m still single. I’m also determined to get that half empty look out of your eyes and replace it with sparkling lights.”
4.5 stars
I don’t think I’ve read a Catherine Bybee book so far that I didn’t enjoy. And not surprisingly, Half Empty is not an exception. It is romantic and sweet with a sprinkle of hotness, dangerous and suspenseful with a bite-your-nails action. Or in short, a 100% Catherine Bybee masterpiece 😀
To be honest, the book started a little bit slow for me (hence the 4.5 stars) and I wasn’t completely in love with Trina and Avery. Though, I can’t imagine what Trina was going through, I though she was acting a little bit childish and dramatic. On the other hand, the whole bossing people around and telling them what to do vibe that Avery had was a little bit over the top for most of the situations in my opinion. But that pretty much changed after the first couple of chapters or so and I can honestly say that I fell in love with the characters. Especially, when Wade joined the party 😀
Ultimately, Wade and Trina’s story is a page-turner. There is a little bit for everyone in it. Romance, heartbreak, danger, suspense, sexy shenanigans and even humour fill the pages of this great book. The story line is intriguing and though it follows quite a typical path for romantic suspense, it is still new and fresh and I can guarantee that there will be few surprises that you wouldn’t expect.
Though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. But in my opinion, if you read the first one, you will enjoy Half Empty even more. So if you haven’t read Catherine Bybee till now, this is a great place to start. And if you are already a fan, you know you won’t be disappointed. So be sure to hurry up and #1click your copy 😉
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I received an ARC from author in exchange for an honest review.
“Half Empty” is the second book in Catherine Bybee’s new series, “The First Wives.” In the beginning of book 2, we find the two main characters: wealthy widow, Trina (Katrina) Petrov, and famous country singing star, Wade Thomas, each seeking their own moment of peace. One escaping the demanding life of a singing artist. The other, not wanting to face the upcoming one-year anniversary of her husband’s death: by suicide. Both, for their own reasons, needed to escape.
Never having met, they find themselves sitting in a hotel bar, hoping to find food, close to midnight. Trina gets there a few minutes before the kitchen closes for the night and manages to place an order. Wade strolls in a little later, only to find he’s out of luck. “Sorry, the kitchen’s closed for the night.” The bartender said. After a while, Trina’s food is delivered and Wade’s stomach starts to growls. Trina takes pity on the salivating stranger and offers to share her meal with him. That’s the beginning of their social encounter. Both, unfortunately, were laid over in Miami, hoping to fly out to Texas the next day.
I must compliment Catherine Bybee on a great job of making the handsome cowboy sound authentic. With lines like: “Yes, Ma’am.” “What’s your name little lady? ‘I am many things, but I don’t sniff around another man’s woman.’” And, self-thoughts, such as: Lordy, what was it about her that made him want to strut like a cock in a henhouse? Kudos to you, Bybee!
However, the chemistry between these two was at odds. Wade seemed attracted. Even more so when he realized she didn’t know his true identity. He became more and more intrigued. How could she not know he was a “famous” country singer? But, for Trina, she didn’t want anything to do with him or any other man, especially after her experience in Italy. Her immediate response to his good looks and charm was, “not interested!”
This book is more than just a romance novel. The reader finds themselves taking a turn and ending up on a path of suspense and mystery. And, it’s only when everything turns chaotic, with death threats and dark secrets surfacing, that Trina finds herself falling deeply in love with a persistent cowboy who refuses to leave her side. No matter how dangerous the situation. It was touching the way these two people expressed their love for one another. The all or nothing attitude grabbed me.
Now, the nemesis in the story keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Trina and her friends are in danger and need help from some old friends (characters) from the first book. And, although book #2 can be read as a stand-alone novel; I would recommend reading the first novel first. The reader will have a better feel for the characters and understanding the mysterious plot.
I’m giving this book four-stars. Because, I’m not completely feeling this new series. I was disappointed with the ending of book 1. However, the ending of this book has some redeeming factors; leaving me somewhat happier and hopeful for the series. Additionally, to me, the best part of this series is the relationship between the wives. They have banded together, supporting one another, no matter the situation or circumstance. Now, that’s beautiful!
Oh my, loved this book. Trina’s marriage of contract was suppose to end in divorce but her husband commits suicide instead. She has been left as a very wealthy lady. She soon takes a trip to Italy, but has sworn off all men until she meets Wade at a hotel bar. Wade is a well known country music singer, and was very surprised when Trina did not know who he was. There is an instant hot sexual chemistry between them. Trina soon finds herself in trouble with her deceased husband’s family and Wade will not leave her side, through thick and thin.
Once again Catherine Bybee has written a book that I could not put down. Plenty of romance along with suspense makes for a perfect read. I also really enjoyed the friendships of the First Wives. Her perfect one liners will have you laughing out loud or just shaking your head. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend this book!!
Trina is torn with guilt over her husbands suicide and struggling with the after affects of inheriting the Petrov fortune. She doesn’t understand why her mother-in-law left everything to her in the will and she is beginning to understand the danger it has put her in with her late husbands father.
When Trina is heading home from her short sabbatical, she meets famous country singer Wade Thomas. She doesn’t think she is ready to move on but Wade is charming enough to wiggle his way into her life.
Wade is coming off his tour and on his way home when he meets Trina in the hotel bar. He’s so used to everyone knowing who he is that it completely throws him off when Trina doesn’t recognize him or wants anything to do with him. She’s like a breath of fresh air to him and he’s intrigued enough to work for her affections.
We got to meet Trina Petrov in book one of the First Wives series. She was the reason the First Wives went on a cruise in book 1 to get away from the media storm caused by her husbands suicide and his mother’s passing from cancer. This could be read as a standalone but some readers will want to get the beginning of this group of women’s story.
Wade and Trina were a refreshing couple to read about. With his celebrity status, he doesn’t have very many genuine people in his life. Trina has been through so much in such a short span, that not much impresses her. She knows there is more important things in life and that’s exactly what Wade needed.
One of the reasons I really enjoy this authors books is because her characters are mature. From what I’ve read so far, the couples aren’t petty or try to hurt each other. The conflicts in the story are from an outside source. In this case it was her father-in-law’s greed.
Their is some minor pettiness from Wade’s mom and ex-girlfriend but that wasn’t the focus of their relationship and never put a wedge between them. I appreciate that so much as a reader and I’m truly looking forward to the next book in the series.
Oh my, the feels in this one! Trina and Wade are perfect for each other. Trina is part of the first wives club and married her first husband who supposedly committed suicide before their impending divorce and then his mother passed and she left her estate to her. This left her richer than imaginable. Flying home Europe and sitting in a hotel bar at midnight a stranger strikes up a conversation about how much food she has ordered when he cannot get any because the kitchen has closed. Perfect meet cute! Especially when Trina does not recognize the man who is a famous country musician who just finished a tour. Wade Thomas who? The chemistry is tingly and the heat generated between them even when just sharing a meal is astounding. A private jet the next day takes them to the Bahamas instead of back to Texas and that is where Trina’s friends find her and fun begins. What starts out platonic and friendship seems meant to be. Can it withstand all the danger that seems to be circling Trina? Oh, this was so good! I highly recommend this and make sure you have time to read when you start it because you will not wants to put it down (I didn’t). This could be read as a standalone (if you really wanted to).
Yet another fantastic book from this author. Her books never fail to pull me in immediately and keep me glued to the pages all the way through. This book did exactly that. It’s the second in the First Wives series but easily read standalone. Trina Petrov always knew her marriage to Fedor Petrov wouldn’t last but she expected it to end in divorce rather than leaving her a widow and one of the wealthiest women in the world. Wade Thomas is known and loved by millions as a famous country singer. He’s use to being recognized yet when he meets Trina she has no idea who he is and that intrigues him. They are drawn together immediately and before long the beginnings of love are rooted deep in their hearts. Can they manage to stay together when the danger her deceased husband left behind catches up to Trina?
Put this on the must read list! I highly recommend it.
4.5 stars
This series started of strong with Fool Me Once. I’m incredibly happy to find it got even stronger with this story. I absolutely adore Wade and Jeb and think they are a fantastic addition to this group of friends.
Just as Trina’s friends have worried over her for the past year, the author also makes the reader worry over her. She’s been through so much and carries so much of what happened to others on her own shoulders. Of course, her friends aren’t going to allow her to hide away forever. Especially Avery.
Wade is instantly intrigued by the woman who doesn’t know who he is the night they meet. Although Wade is a great guy, he isn’t a saint. He’s used to women pretty much throwing themselves at his feet. To be able to flirt with a woman but not have her say and do anything to get him in bed, that’s a new one on him. There’s an instant attraction and heat, but it just grows as they remain platonic in the beginning.
I’ll be honest and say this one could potentially be a bit confusing if you haven’t read the first in the series. I think you could read it as a standalone, but it just would be missing something and you wouldn’t get the full experience of the story. Not to mention, the link these women share is amazing and best explored from the beginning.
That being said, I’ll proceed with this review as if you read the first book. I don’t think there any real spoilers, but what I say may not make sense if you don’t know some back story.
The threat Ruslan posed wasn’t over after the first story, we knew that as readers and the characters are aware. And he came back with a vengeance. But so did Sasha. We see quite a bit more of her in this story and she’s quite fascinating. I’m sure we still haven’t seen the last of her…at least I hope we haven’t.
I love the way Wade jumps right in to help with all that is going on in Trina’s life although they barely know each other. Even better is the way Jeb just fits right in with Reed, Rick, and all the other “protectors” of this group. He didn’t miss a beat. What was terrible was Wade’s mom. She was a character that I thought I’d like but ended up not being who I thought she would be. In some ways I could understand her protective nature, but not her being disrespectful. Oddly, I like the way the author handled her (even though I still don’t like the character) because in the end, it was realistic. No sunshine and rainbows there. But a mutual acknowledgment from Trina and Wade’s mom that he loves them both and they would have to get along.
As much heartache there is in this story, there is a lot of healing that happens. At least for Trina. Now poor Avery is going to have a long road to travel after things that she has to endure in this story. As much as I’m chomping at the bit for Shannon’s story, my heart just weeps for Avery and I hope she gets her HEA next.

Engaging story
Nothing is as it seem in this story. There are so many twist and turns, it makes the story exciting. An engaging read.
