Katie B's Reviews > The Wife Stalker

I'll give the writers credit (Two sisters are the authors behind the pen name Liv Constantine) as they did a nice job with this one. I admit I had some doubts throughout the story in which I kept thinking the ending was going to be lackluster but they managed to come up with something interesting. And what boggles my mind is even though I picked up on a few things fairly early on, for the life of me I couldn't figure how they were relevant to the overall story. It's like I had some puzzle pieces but couldn't see the big picture because I didn't know where they fit. Well played Liv Constantine, well played.

Piper Reynard wants a fresh start and so she moves across the country to Westport, Connecticut and opens up a wellness center. She meets successful lawyer, Leo Drakos, and has the hots for him, despite the fact he wears a wedding ring. Joanna wants the man she loves, Leo, to come out of the severe depression that has consumed him so they along with their children, Evie and Stelli, can be a happy family. Leo seems to be getting better but Joanna is devastated when she realizes it has nothing to do with her loving support. Instead, Leo has fallen for the other woman and Joanna is determined to fight for her man. The chapters alternate between Joanna and Piper.

This was a fun and quick read. I had more than a few questions while reading but in the end I felt they were all answered. Be patient and stick with this one, as the payout is pretty satisfying.

I've read all three books by this writing duo and while I was disappointed in their last effort, I think this one was as good as The Last Mrs. Parrish. However, I do feel their books are slight variations of one another. I hope with their next book they venture into new territory and try something completely different.

I received a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
