The Defiant Wife

The Three Mrs, Book 2

By: Jess Michaels

Narrated by: Stevie Zimmerman

The second book in this sparkling series by 10-time USA Today best-selling author Jess Michaels.

Pippa Montgomery never thought her life would go like this. When she found out her late husband was a bigamist and had been murdered, she thought nothing could ever be the same. When she met his brother Rhys, the earl of Leighton, she knew it.

Now, they must navigate a scandal that will tear them both apart. They must make decisions that will affect the illegitimate child Pippa’s late husband fathered behind her back. For as long as they can, they must fight the simmering desire between them that is bound to explode.

Two people broken by a desperate scandal. They can only turn to each other, but they know they can never be together. Will they overcome the obstacles in their way and find a way to love one another? Or will the last consequence of one man’s conduct be the loss of a love that could last all time?

Heat level: a lot of sweet surrender.

This is the second book in the Three Mrs series but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Sweet and maybe predictable

The story may be predictable, but it wasn't overly complicated and was rather sweet . I thought the narrator was fantastic.

Big Let Down after Book One

Book one of The Three Mrs. series was the best historical romance I have read to date (and I have read many). Pippa's story was just a tremendous let down. Perhaps it was just predictable so the plot held no interest. In fairness, Pippa was the least interesting of the 3 mrs. so it makes sense that her story is as weak as her character. I am looking forward to Abigail's story as she was the most interesting of the 3 Mrs.
