But when their marriage of convenience becomes downright dangerous, Hunter must decide how far to take his vow to honor and protect Gabi forever.

I really enjoyed this story. The set up for the “blackmail” was unique and believable. It was fun to follow the love story of Gabi and Hunter.
It’s official…Hunter and Gabriella’s story is my favorite of the series! Hunter is that cold, ruthless billionaire who falls for the sweet and kind heroine. He starts out by blackmailing her to do what he needs for his purposes and you can literally see him slowly thaw over her. I’m such a sucker for this type of hero…and once again the narrator was awesome. I highly recommend the audiobooks for this series.
I’m sad that the Weekday Brides series is over. I loved this series a lot. I think ending with Gabi and Hunter was fantastic. There was so much build up and fight in this book. I fell in love with Hunter immediately, even though he is a jerk with a lot of money. It is clear he hides behind his money and is not used to not getting what he wants. If you have not read the books that lead up to book 7, you should.
LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! This series was so good it is too bad this is the last one. Gabby is strong and fragile at the same time and there were times I thought I was going to hate Hunter but he was so redeeming there was no way. He definitely comes through. Definitely the perfect way to end the series!
Threats from beyond the grave!
Aww, the end of the thoroughly enjoyable Weekday Brides series has arrived and I’m sad to have reached its conclusion. Each story has been amazing and I’ve completely fallen in love with all the characters that I’ve met along the way.
Treasured by Thursday is written almost as if it is part two of the preceding instalment, Seduced by Sunday, as poor Gabriella Masini realises that her problems did not end with her husband’s death.
When billionaire Hunter Blackwell approaches Alliance it’s with an ulterior motive. When he meets with Gabi as part of his assessment to become an Alliance client, he is stunned when this feisty woman rejects his application. Knowing that he has to do everything he can to secure a bride, and fast, he does his own background check on Gabi and finds one or two useful things hiding in Gabi’s closet. With blackmail his last resort and a large sum of money on offer, Hunter forces Gabi’s hand and she begrudgingly accepts his request and takes him on as a client, and a husband. Not wanting to ask for her family’s help to sort out her problems once again, Gabi realises that she must meet Hunter’s demands in order to find the time to discover a way out of what appears to be certain prison time for her.
With a cleverly constructed contract in her hand, Gabi accepts Hunter’s proposal and despite the many problems they could face if the marriage falls apart, the pair get married. Hunter is unaware of Gabi’s marital past but soon starts to see the signs of her fragile state of mind as she becomes unravelled at the drop of a hat. Gabi is determined to move on with her life with ex-husband Alonso dead and buried but her emotional wellbeing is still being affected by the demons he firmly placed inside her mind.
With active off-shore accounts needing to be investigated and an insurance policy which appears to have been fraudulently claimed following Alonso’s death, poor Gabi’s problems seen to be spiralling out of control once again.
Despite the terms of their marriage, both Hunter and Gabi quickly come to realise that they may have misjudged each other and they soon start to enjoy one another’s company. With time they become intimately involved and knowing that this could further complicate their agreement, they start to open up to one another about what was really behind their reasons to marry.
With Hunter’s private investigator unearthing more problems than Hunter and Gabi could ever imagine, their problems quickly come to a head as the drug lord that Alonso Picano worked for comes to reclaim his money. As expected, Gabi’s friends and their husbands quickly come to her aid but soon realise that they are dealing with a very serious threat to Gabi’s life.
This was once again an extremely well-written and well thoughtout suspenseful storyline. I will miss each and every character from this series and I am sure that I will dip back into these books in the future. The audiobooks were particularly enjoyable and a particular highlight for me. Tanya Eby did an amazing job of narrating this series and brought the characters to life perfectly.
Catherine Bybee is definitely my 2019 author find of the year.
5+ stars!! Outrageously awesome story. Ms Bybee has done an exceptional job in making this series of Weekday Brides. I have enjoyed each and every book in this set of 7. This is Gabi and Hunter’ s story. Gabi survived some horrendous stuff after living in a basically secluded world. Now she has to deal with a millionaire blackmailing her into marriage. Hunter is a strong, millionaire & handsome man who doesn’t confide in or befriend many. He finds Gabi’s weak spot in order to get her to marry him. During their journey we run into suspense, intrigue, intense situations and romance. I hope it won’t be long before Ms Bybee has her next series out (?Holiday Brides). I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. I purchased this through Kindle Unlimited.
Loved the series
