Meet Klarke Taylor, a mother of two and happily married
until her husband blew up her world with his lies and infidelity. Now, she has
a pile of bills and creditors breathing down her back. So she devises a plan
along with her two besties, Jeva and Breezy to get her a man to bail her out of
her financial situation. Reo Laroque is the man who fits the bill. He’s a
bestselling author and is looking for a woman who can be his wife. However, all
doesn’t go so smoothly as he is caught up in a twisted case of love, lust and
lies.
This story had too much going on. Not only did Klarke have
drama with her ex-husband, her boss and her new husband but her besties had
issues with their men as well. While there were some interesting moments in
this book, I felt the story would have been better served if it had fewer
subplots. I perked up toward the end when Reo’s six-month-old daughter drowned
in his pool and Klarke confessed to the crime but there was no hard evidence to
put her away in jail. I was left wondering who did it and it was also unclear whether
Harris played a part in it or not… then the book ended. Otherwise, it was an
enjoyable read.
My
favorite lines:
My
beef has always been with you, Tionne. What’s strange is that I probably wouldn’t
have even been mad at you if you were just the
other woman. But when you decided to take on the role of my friend—laughing
in my face, going out with me, coming over to my house and having me baby-sit
your and Harris’s love child, you crossed the line. Otherwise my only beef
would have been with Harris. Harris took vows and made a commitment to me, not
you. You didn’t owe me shit. Harris did. I’m not like most women who fly off the
handle and set out to beat the mistress down. But you, Tionne, you pretended to
be my friend. You played me and that hurt.
