About this eBook

The first in a new series by 10 time USA Today Bestselling Author Jess Michaels

Although Celeste Montgomery was forced into a marriage a year ago, her husband is more often gone than home and she is living a quiet life. Until investigator Owen Gregory shows up at her home to tell her some outrageous news: Her husband has been murdered…and he was also a bigamist, making her the third of three wives.

Owen Gregory was hired to investigate Celeste’s husband, but he never thought it would lead him here, to this beautiful woman whose life he just shattered. Once he determines she couldn’t be the murderer, he asks her to join him in London, in the hopes she can help him solve the crime.

Now they must navigate two other wives, a broken-hearted brother and a duke who keeps poking his nose in as they work to determine who killed Erasmus Montgomery. Not to mention the intense feelings and passionate desires growing between them. But will secrets long held endanger them in ways they never imagined? And will they find a way to save each other before it’s too late?

Heat Level: Very. Just very, very, very.

This is the first book in The Three Mrs series.

The Unexpected Wife by Jess Michaels The Three Mrs. #1 Three women One dead bigamist husband Who killed the husband? Was it one of the wives? Or another? What I liked: * Great start to a new series that introduced the characters that will feature in at least three books in the series * Owen: investigator, intelligent, likes puzzles, truth seeker, intuitive, fact finder, falls for Celeste quickly. Charming and lusty book boyfriend * Celeste: bright, underestimated, often overlooked, pushed into a marriage she did not want, falls for Owen quickly. Liked her. * That though Owen and Celeste had chemistry early they did not act upon it too quickly. * The way the relationship developed between Owen and Celeste * The unexpected friendship between the wives * The other two wives: Abigail and Phillipa * The two men that will star in the next two books: Gilmore and Leighton * The twist(s) * That there was a HEA for Owen and Celeste What I didn’t like: * Erasmus “Ras” Montgomery: cad, bigamist, user and abuser * Celeste’s parents * Having to wait for the next book in the series. Did I like this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and The Passionate Pen, LLC. for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4.5 Stars
