Im going to write my full review tomorrow, but I've just finished this one and I *LOVED* it. Best in the series. I laughed out loud multiple times.
Update:
I think this one is my favorite in the series.
The banter is witty. The sex is hot. The characters are already our friends at this point (which is the best kind of book). There are tie in appearances from even older friends. This one made me laugh out loud which was a surprise. I'm more of a squeal under the covers kind of girl.
I adored this one. I am not surprised. I've been waiting for Abigail's story since the beginning. She is my favorite wife. The one that keeps it all together. I love her. Forced or arranged marriage is one of my favorite tropes, and this is no different.
Absolutely recommend this series. It was such a fun and creative idea. I loved every book.

Finally, Abigail’s story, the first Mrs. Montgomery, the last to carry the name.
*****
Rating: 4 stars
Steam: 2.5 flames
Genre: Historical romance / Enemies-to-Lovers
*****
The Three Mrs.’ series has been a tragic tale of how Erasmus Montgomery, bigamist, destroyed three women’s lives (and almost a fourth). One by one, the former Mrs. Montgomery’s have found their true love, found their hearts, and although society isn’t kind, they are trying to regain their rightful places.
Abigail was the original and actual Mrs. Montgomery, as the first wife. Unfortunately, at one point she had loved Erasmus, and then he became mean and a liar, and by the time he died, there was no love lost. However, the walls around her heart are high and solid. She refuses to ever fall in love again, although she is so kind, compassionate, and loyal to all those around her.
Abigail wants her freedom more than anything but as a woman, she is limited in her options. Most men want to control their wives...and she never wants to be controlled again. Enter Nathan, Duke of Gilmore...Nathan and Abigail have been nothing short of adversarial for a year, but in the words of Andes Serrano “Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.” Could these two be masking lust/like with hate?
Gilmore has been intrigued by Abigail since he met her, but he too had a terrible upbringing and is slow to trust, but he can’t deny there is something brewing between him and Abigail, the only issue is getting Abigail to see it.
The Duke’s Wife is a push pull romance, with both MCs trying to protect themselves. The two characters have witty banter, chemistry off the charts, and the storyline of the two of them finding love again was wonderful. I loved Gilmore, he was such a kind, understanding, and plain wonderful man. I will be honest, I wanted to smack Abigail a couple of times so she could see what was in front of her...good thing Gilmore is persistent.
A wonderful conclusion to the tragic tale of the Three Mrs., it was fantastic to see Pippa, Celeste, and Abigail find love and that Erasmus did not win in the end! I highly recommend this book/series! Happy reading!

Abigail Montgomery is not eager to re-enter society after a year of mourning. Her late husband was a bigamist who had two other wives and was courting the fourth - the sister of the Duke of Gilmore. If Abigail had not anonymously intervened and involved the Duke, his sister would have been ruined. Though he saved his sister, Nathan, The Duke of Gilmore's action changed the lives of all three Montgomery wives and Abigail loathes him for it.
The story starts off a year after this incident and Abigail is forced to be civil with Nathan for the sake of their friends. It is obvious that they are both fascinated and attracted to one another. But Abigail's past makes it difficult for her to trust anyone again, especially someone she thinks she hates.
I started reading the series with the final book and though I enjoyed the story I might have connected better with the main characters if I had read the previous books. But it did not take away my enjoyment while reading the book since I can't wait to read the other two books in the series. I’m so intrigued by the side characters, who are all happily married, that I plan to read their books next and finish reading the series.
If you are looking for a lighthearted read with interesting characters, cute banter and a charming story, The Duke’s Wife is a must-read.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this book.
I read the whole trilogy so let me told you, you have to give them a change as soon as you can.
because
spoilers
as you know they (the girls) shared a husband but after find out that they were "sister- wives " but instead of them fighting they MAKE FRIENDS, they ended up as bff.. so are their partners.
I loved all the love stories, and this one is the perfect way to end the trilogy.
The way that he declares his love to her will live rent free in my life forever.
FOREVER.
I LOVE THEM GO READ THE THREE MRS. AND LET ME KNOW WHICH LOVE STORY IS YOUR FAVORITE (IMO CELESTE & OWEN FOREVER).

Although this is the third in a series, I could still enjoy it even though I hadn't read the previous two.
Lately whenever I have been reading books, I have been thinking of the life stories of the characters. In the novels set before the modern era, I have noticed that there was a lot more suffering in people's lives. The doctors were woefully inadequate and death was a very common occurrence. Makes us thankful for the modern medical science. The recent COVID-19 wave hammers this point home.
This is the story of Abigail whose husband was a cheater of the highest degree and Nathan whose sister was one of the people Abigail's husband tried to cheat with. What follows is a story of love between these opposing characters.
The book was written well. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it heartily to everyone.
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view

I knew it!!! While I was reading the previous 2 books from this series, I knew that this one will be the best. It was fun, it was steamy, it was unputdownable. Abigail and Nathan are amazing separately and together. These two characters, don't explicitly need each other but when they are together they thrive. I enjoyed every bit of their story and I'm so sad that it ended. I'm really not sure if I have ever been so excited about both of the main characters in a Regency Romance. I usually find one more likable than the other, but these two are the exception. I really cannot recommend it enough!!!
P.s. it was amazing seeing old faces in this book. The Dukes of the 1797 Club are back. The Duchesses to be more precise.
I received an Arc via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This was fine. If anything it resolved itself a little too easily. I thought their banter petered off a bit too quickly

As we know from the previous two books Abigail and Nathan are enemies to lovers. She dislikes him for how involved he got with her late husbands scandal. He dislikes her because she dislikes him. At a party they talk and she makes a bet. After she wins he asks for the chance to win his money back. After some escalation they get caught getting intimate by a gossip and decide the best course of action is marriage.
I loved the wagers between these two. This book didn’t follow the normal formula. Everything was resolved neat and tidy pretty easily. Especially when you consider the drama from the other two books.
Overall book ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Duke’s Wife, the third and last book, in The Three Mrs series was definitely my favourite.
I really liked how the relationship between Abigail and Nathan was build up through the first two books; we might caught only small scenes between them when different couple's romance was on the forefront, but it was enough to established that they didn't really liked each other that much. ...Or did they?
Of course they liked each other, and I loved every moment of their banter and seemingly hostile attitudes and remarks, that really hid how much attraction there was between them.
They sparred verbally so beautifully, and all those heated looks across rooms were so fun to read about.
Not to mention the chemistry they had. It sparkled thorough every dialog and scene. They wager game was one of the better foreplays I've read this year. Maybe that's why among the three books, this one was defiantly the hottest. Oh, when Abigail and Nathan finally had sex it was glorious (I mean, that bathtub scene? Oh my!).
But, of course, it wasn't just the erotic aspect of the story that I enjoyed so much. I really liked both main characters. Gilmore might get on my nerves sometimes; his communication skills were a little bit lacking, but Abigail didn't really help the matter also. I empathized with her insecurities and vulnerability that she was so desperately trying to hide from Nathan and from her friends. As well as Nathan strong sense of duty, especially afterthey were forced to marry.
They were both damaged by their closes family and it took them a while to find their own strengths and allow themselves happiness.
I really enjoyed this book. It was so fun, romantic, and hot! Great final to the series.
