The Unwanted Wife

4-Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a quick read & if I would've had more time, I definitely could've read it in a day.

I didn't expect this book to be so...clean. & that's my fault cause I read books that leave very little to the imagination. I mean, there weren't even any curse words for fucks sake!! That didn't sway me though, I have read a lot of books which do the same thing, it just caught me by surprise.

Basically this book is about Theresa & Alessandro whom were thrown together in an arranged marriage. Theresa absolutely adored Alessandro & quickly fell in love with him, but he didn't feel the same way. Finally, Theresa gets a back bone after almost 2 years & tells Alessandro that she wants a divorce. Theresa didn't know that there were terms & conditions to her arranged marriage, but she quickly finds out what those are & a divorce won't be so easy. Alessandro finally finds his heart & realizes that he's falling in love with Theresa, but it seems like it's too late.

When Alessandro finally got his head outta his ass, he was filled with remorse about the way that he had treated Theresa, & she made him pay for it. The whole book was basically him trying to prove his love and newfound commitment to her & I LOVED it!!

Some things I didn't like:

-I felt as though exclamation points were used wrongly in this book. IDK, maybe I'm just weird about them, but to me they either mean angry or excited & at times the author put these exclamation points in and it just seemed too “chipper” & I really don't think that's what she was going for.

-USE CONTRACTIONS DAMNIT!! I can't stand when authors write too proper, to me it takes me out of the story because people don't f-ing talk like that. Now if I'm reading a historical novel, sure! But this book is based in present day, we're very lazy with our language & if we can shorten it we will.

But, I'm just being nit-picky. This really was a good book & I'm already on to the 2nd in the series!
