Kate and Price Lewis had the perfect marriage—love, fulfilling careers, and a great apartment in the city. But when Price’s work takes him overseas and his plane goes down, their happily-ever-after goes down with it. A year later, Kate is still trying to cope. She’s tied to her grief as tightly as she was bound to Price. When her sister-in-law coaxes her into an extended girls’ trip—three weeks … trip—three weeks on a remote island in the South Pacific—Kate agrees. At a villa as secluded as the island, they’re the only people in sight, until Kate sees a ghost walking toward them on the beach. Price is alive.
Their reunion is anything but picture perfect. Kate has been loyal to the husband she thought was dead, but she needs answers. What she gets instead is a cryptic proposal—go back home in three weeks, or disappear with Price…forever.
Emotions run high, passions burn bright, and Kate faces an impossible choice. Can Price win back his wife? Or will his secrets tear them apart?

I loved it!! Sensual and epic!
This book was given to me as a gift from a friend. I enjoyed this story in the misadventures series. I do think it was lacking a little with the plot versus the title, Good Wife does not seem to fit since the wife did not really do anything to contribute to the story in my opinion. Overall the action, suspense and heat were great and I would recommend this book.
I was excited to read this book because I enjoy both Meredith Wild’s and Helen Hardt’s works. I was disappointed. The authors lost their unique voices in this book. There is really nothing wrong with it. It just didn’t draw me in and hold my attention. I had to force myself to keep reading. While the romance was fantastic, you know being taken on the bow of a yacht watching the sunset over the Pacific, the plot was slow and labored. Right where the plot started to quicken, I felt like it was rushed and then the book ended. I wish there was as much regular action as there was bedroom action. Luckily, I love both these authors so I will continue to read them but maybe not a collaboration.
Thank you to the publisher for this book. This is my honest opinion.
Rate: Kate didn’t know one vacation could change her whole life. ***********
The misadventures series is for mature audiences *************
I really enjoy this series so far. I love that each book is different and I don’t have to follow any order. This particular book shocked me. It was adventurous, heart wrenching and I read it in a day. So, page turner for sure. This book in the series is a romance with suspense and thriller wrapped in one. Highly recommended for a quick beach read

It is a great book. Couldnt put it down!
The love of Kate’s life is gone, her life is just living, no happy anywhere. Her sister in law wants to get her out of her shell so she takes her on a vacation, where her life changes forever.
Price was supposed to be dead, at least that’s what everyone in his life thought. What he would give to get his life back. Maybe he can….
Kate Lewis has been living the past year in torment. After losing her husband, Price in a plane crash, she hasn’t felt any love or comfort for herself. When her sister-in-law Michelle convinces her to take a girls’ vacation in Leiola, Kate reluctantly agrees to go with her to the small, private island.
What she doesn’t expect is seeing her husband alive and well.
Price Lewis knows too much of a certain business company- and they know it. After faking his own death and starting a new life as Bryson Carr, Price doesn’t know anything for certain. What he does know for certain, however, is how much he’s missed Kate. Her touch, her taste, her smell…her essence of being. When he sees Kate on Leiola, he’s desperate to make her stay with him. But what if Kate chooses to go back to her life in New York? Can Price bear losing his wife a second time, or can he prove to her that she should stay with him?
I wasn’t very impressed. I’ve read the Steele brothers Saga and absolutely loved it so Being Helen was a co-author of this book I expected much more. The storyline was slow at first and didn’t really pick up until over halfway through the book, by the time it caught my attention it was over. Just my opinion. Less sex (sex was way over done in my opinion) and more story please
I was hooked from the first page. It is a thrilling & sexy read about a couple who take “for better or worse” to a new level. The story is exciting and mysterious. I LOVE it. And will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
Kate and Price will make you appreciate the lasting bonds of marriage vows and prove there is never a dull moment! Kate thought her dreams ended that fateful day the NYPD knocked on her door and gave her news that no wife ever wants to receive. After spending a year in a fog barely existing her sister in law Chelle convinces her to take a trip and have some fun in the sun if for nothing else than for a change of scenery. The very last thing she expected to see was a ghost walking towards her on the beach… Price had no choice but to stay away from the absolute center of his universe if he wanted to keep her safe. There are some very dangerous people out of get him and he couldn’t live with himself if he got her hurt in crossfire. But after a year long separation he just cannot be without his wife any longer. He has to convince his brave, smart, beautiful wife to go on the run with him and leave her life behind – he has got a lot of groveling ahead of him. Danger, desire and destiny – but at the end of it all marriage is sacrosanct and what the lord has brought together let no man put asunder.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
See, here’s the thing… there is SO MUCH SEX is this book, almost to the point of being gratuitous, but it’s between a couple that have been separated for over a year, who had an amazing sex life prior to being separated. And they were separated by DEATH. And both were celibate and miserable without each other. And they’re pretty much using sex to distract themselves and each other from the dire situation they currently find themselves in. So in a way, I’m not mad at it. BUT… if your man had to fake his death, it should go without saying that ish is real – if he means as much to as you claim, you don’t balk when he says “we have to stay in hiding if we want to be together,” and you for damn sure don’t drag his @$$ back home. That totally negates any intelligence or semblance of common sense you might claim to have. Moral of the story – I enjoyed it. I loved Price and I love how much he loved Kate. I even love how much she claimed to love him. But I just couldn’t with her… 3 out of 5 wine glasses.
Fun, sexy and intriguing – this will keep you on the edge of your seat while trying to figure out what happened to make Price fake his death, and whether he and Kate can move on from what has happened. And the heat of their reunion will definitely keep your focus! Perfect addition to the Misadventures Series!
This one was just ok to me. Kat and Price’s relationship was clearly a close one. They had great chemistry. The suspense portion of this book was very interesting and its what made the book interesting. Unfortunately the suspense part was a let down and kinda made sense, but fell apart in the end. Kat was very knaive and took her husbands very dangerous situation wayy too lightly. This book was very sexy and steamy, but as much as I love some hot as hell sex scenes there were just wayy too many of them and took away from the actual story. It didn’t bother me at first because Kat and Price hadn’t been together in so long, but it got to be too much.
I thought this one was just ok.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Kate and Price Lewis had it all. Until his work took him overseas and his plane goes down. Right along with their happily ever after. Fast forward a year and Kate is still trying to cope. She refuses to let go of any of her grief. However when her sister-in-law coaxes her into an extended girl’s trip fo r three weeks on a remote island in the South Pacific, Kate agrees to go. They are in a very secluded area and their villa is super secluded, there is no one for miles until Kate takes a walk on the beach and sees a ghost walking toward her. Price is alive.
This book is so good and I will tell you that there is a lot and I do mean a lot of kindle melting moments in this book. These two characters have a very strong love for each other and have to show it three or fours times a day apparently. I loved everything about this book though. I had the dead husband is suddenly alive and bringing danger into the lives of those he loves. It kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out exactly what was going on and what would happen. This book will keep you reading from the moment you pick it up until the very end.
If you like quick reads that keep you on the edge of your seat you do not want to miss Misadventures of a Good Wife.
Definitely a must read!! Unexpected and hot!!
Another great book in the misadventures series! This book is a quick and steamy read with suspense throw in. I kept me guessing the whole time!
What a very intense ride this book was. It’s not at all what I expected it to me. So much steaminess, antsy, suspense, tears, and heart felt moments. This is not a book that is going to be easily forgotten. It was action packed and full of steamy, sexy moments. I kinda wish there was another book coming to get some of the characters story. It was unique and completely original!
Out of all the misadventure books I’ve read this has been my least favorite. It did not draw me in like the others had. I find myself having to force myself to finish it. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Thank you Net-Galley for the advance copy of this story. No form of payment was received. These are only my thoughts on the book.
This story was just ok for me. I liked the crime part of the story. I liked the main characters sister the most in the story.
I found Kate to be to forgiving. If I was in her place I don’t think I would just let things go and I sure wouldn’t be distracted by sex. There is a ton of sex in this story a lot of steamy scenes. I just wanted more. I didn’t connect with the characters.
If you want a quick read I say read this! I have read several books by Meredith Wild but this is my first by Helen Hardt
Fully v engrossed could not put it down read it in 2 days
