Two years of bitter loneliness have passed. The woman I love is now the woman I hate. I lose myself in beautiful women every night and tell myself that fortune reading was nothing but a scam. But then her mother asks me to marry her. I say yes. Now this woman will be mine forever. Maybe the prophecy really is true. I’m committing to a woman that will never love me in return. But it was better to … me in return.
But it was better to be her husband than allow someone else to take my place. It was better to conquer her body every night than be lonely with someone else.
Much better.

Ten awesome star!
In Wife I have trouble liking Sofia. Even the first chapter of Husband she still won’t stand for her mistake and still blame Hades. But fortunetly she redeemed her self. Her gradual changes makes me like her better.
And Hades..the man already has my heart from the start. When in Wife he force him self with seduction in Sofia’s life, in Husband, he put his feet down. His more firm, strick, cut to the chase. But he’s still the same devoted, loving, loyal, and protective Hades as before.
The change in their ritmic kinda struck me at this point. How in Wife, Sofia use him and feels like walk on him with no respect when Hades was being more gentle and seductive although still dominant. But when Hades is being more strick, toward more mean, harsh in his dominant, take no BS, Sofia kinda submit. I wonder to my self if Sofia actually a submissive but didn’t realise it and the author didn’t put label in it. Cause the ritmic in their relationship changes gradually in that sense.
When Hades proves his dominant in or outside bedroom, she respect him.
When Hades proves he can and will protect her, put her above anything else in his life, respect her as his partner in marriage, she finally respect him.
That respect, more than the word love is what finally make me respect Sofia. When she submit to Hades, she become stronger and not that whiny little B*ch in Wife. When she respect him, she actually put respect on her self and make the world respect her too. The way Hades protect her and how she accept it, the way he love her with devotion and she feels it, the way she looks at him and make him feel humble with it, I love every second of their chemistry in Husband.
Hades change too from Wife. Still dominant. In Husband though, we see Hades in the rougher eksterior. As Hades the drug Lord. As Hades the King of the Underworld.
We see his love toward Damien.
We see his love for Sofia that urge him to seek his long no see Brother.
We see this strong man being so humble in his love, that’s actually makes me as a woman wish to have a man like him. I imagine it would be humbling yet feels like I’m the richest girl in the world.
Husband definitly lot better than Wife.

Can’t wait to read the next book!
This series is awesome! It picks up right where Wife left off. Hades is cursed. And he is desperate to change that. There are a lot of moving parts to this story. It’s building a great foundation for a fantastic storyline. I don’t want to give away too many details. That will spoil the story. But I will say we meet Ash, Hades brother. Sofia is casting her spell on him. And it’s great to watch. As with all Penelope Sky’s books, the cliffhanger killed me. I’m dying for book 3, Lover. Can not wait! Another smash hit series!
Husband is the second book in Penelope Sky’s Betrothed series. The first book ends with a cliffhanger, and Husband picks up where it left off. Sofia is still missing, and it’s driving Hades crazy. Things get heated when Hades discovers that his brother, Maddox, has had her confined in his house the entire time. After he realizes his betrayal, he will do anything to get Sofia back. Brother or not, Maddox is going to pay. I am super stoked for the third book to come out, it shouldn’t be long now. Can’t Wait!!
