mspepesilva 's review for:
The Devious Husband
by Catharina Maura
I'm going to miss this series so much!! Thank you to Catharina Maura and team for the ARC.
I was eagerly waiting for Sierra and Xavier's book since the very beginning. Catharina Maura has teased so much of their interactions that we all wanted to see Sierra get her HEA. For the most part, this book really did highlight so much of the love that both Sierra and Xavier have in their families, their heavy physical attraction to each other, and their ability to become overzealous at a moment's notice. Basically, they are they definition of IS SOMEBODY GOING TO MATCH MY FREAK? Because Xavier matched Sierra's freak.
I got very frustrated with the amount of miscommunication in the first half of the book. Luckily, it didn't last the whole book but there were so many opportunities to come clean about things but people (Sierra) weren't listening! The last half of the book reminded me a lot of The Secret Fiancée
and The Temporary Wife combined, with trauma and grief really taking the forefront. I never thought I'd say this but I wish there were flashbacks! I wanted to learn more about the history of Xavier and Sierra. Since they had a long-time "rivalry" it would have been nice to see those moments in the past and maybe him pining more.
And maybe it's just me being sad the series was over, but I wish we got a small extended epilogue or update on the rest of the Windsors. I'm probably just being greedy lol.
That being said, Xavier did the big grovel and like all Catharina Maura's heroes, manages to win you (and Sierra) over once again. I'm weak for letters, especially from his POV. There's no doubt that Sierra and Xavier are meant to be and there is an enticing set-up to hand over the next series to Xavier's family. Can't wait to read more and re-read the whole series again and again.
