Wow! Not what I was expecting and I loved it! Shannon has been the most reserved character in this whole series. She was still in love with her first husband and was always the voice of reason in this group of women. She never really stood out because the rest of the First Wives had such huge personality.

We got to see a side to Shannon we have never experienced before. I love the way her and Victor met, reacted to each other and then ultimately fell in love. It's an enemies to lovers trope that I admit I usually struggle with, but not in Shannon and Victor's book. I actually, really loved how they got started and how he brought out her sass. The sparks flew from the start!

This whole series has been fantastic. I'm really sad to see it end. I'm hoping Sasha gets a story but I don't think she is a first wife so maybe a start to a new series? One can hope.

Hello, my name is Crystal and I am a sucker for verbal foreplay. Whether it is in the bedroom or just any time the hero and heroine are in the same room, if there is banter between them I will be a grinning fool. When it came to Shannon and Victor, my face was hurting from grinning for pretty much the entire book. I adored them from the moment Shannon fell into Victor's lap. That's one way of saying hello... Seriously though, I loved both of them. Not really knowing what it is like to feel unconditional love, Shannon and Victor sparked something inside each other that they have wanted all along. Someone to pick them, fight for them, and hold them when things look dark. Shannon thought she had that with her ex-husband, but was quickly reminded that, like with the other First Wives, their marriage was a contract. Nothing more, nothing less. When Victor is left at the alter by a woman he realizes that he never really loved, it leaves him stunned. Then Shannon waltzes into his life and his dark world is brighter than it's ever been. I loved that their romance was a mix of sweet temptation and sizzling sexual tension. The whole three month deal made me crack up. Watching them tip toe across the line was perfection. Then when the tension finally ignites, hold on to your fan ladies, it's about to get hot in here.

Just when I thought this series might end with Shannon's book, Catherine surprises us with the news that Sasha is next. Oh, I cannot wait for her story. I already know it's going to be one hell of a ride. And I can't friggin' wait!

I received an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

Disjointed. At least it wasn’t a thriller!

This book. I just can’t explain how much I loved it. I was nervous going in, because after reading the other books I’d hoped for it to go another way when we got to Shannon’s book. But I can honestly say, I loved the story and am so happy I gave it a chance!

It was one of my favorites. I loved seeing how the ladies interacted with each other. I really didn't think I was going to like the hero at first. He grew on me and the fiancee didn't . The more I got to know her, the less I liked her.

I am entirely hooked on the First Wives Series. Each wife has a history, has a story, and is NOT looking for love. All readers will know that not looking for love means you find it where you least expect it.

I love the cockiness, the sexiness, and the persistence of Victor. He meets a woman on an airplane, they don’t get along. Heck they can hardly stand each other. Oops, they run into each other again in a sticky situation. Can you see where the story is heading? While the story is predictable, it was so enjoyable to follow their story to love.

The friendships, the romance, and the settings are all things I come to look forward to when I pick up a Catherine Bybee book. She never disappoints her readers. I recommend this series and the rest of Catherine’s books.

I honestly didn’t like the hero. However I can see where the heroine liked him. The storyline was okay. This is the first book I’ve read from the series so it did contain spoilers but made me want to know some of the other couples.

Cute as per usual. Very fast, easy read.
