The Secretive Wife (More Than a Wife Series Book 2)

ABOUT THE BOOK:
I have a famous secret, but it's not the biggest one I keep.
From an outside view, my life would be the definition of boring. I'm married to a landscaper, albeit a very attractive one, I drive an old cheap car, and I write articles for an online magazine. So, maybe I've been a constant fixture on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the last few years, but that secret is locked safely in my attic.
Here's a word of advice. If you want to keep a secret, don't tease your mother-in-law about what's in that attic, especially when her life goal is to save her son from you. Now that my famous secret is out, past acquaintances willing to do anything to get their own fifteen minutes of fame are lying to the media about me. But my biggest problem isn't the lies in the press, it's the truth I'm forced to face. The secret I've kept from everyone, even my husband, the man I love, the first person who made me feel like I belonged somewhere.
Now I have no other choice but to tell the truth and face my biggest fear, that Peter and I were never meant to be together and my secrets could take him away too.


MY THOUGHTS:
I have been wanting to read this one since I heard she was writing it. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down and put aside all house work and Christmas orders for my business to finish it lol. I love it so much! Peter and Delanie are my favorite! I could relate to this story in so many ways. I love this series so much can’t wait for the next one! This book was amazing!

She's getting back in the game, one blog post at a time.
Samantha Higgins never thought driving her husband's car would forever change her life. But one conversation later, heard through his Bluetooth, and Samantha is changing her last name. While trying to figure out who Samantha Decker is, she writes what she thinks is one final post on her blog, announcing her divorce. When the post goes viral, she finds herself with a new title, The Sidelined Wife, and an unbelievable following.
To make matters more interesting, her younger brother's best friend, Reed Cassidy, who was a thorn in Samantha's adolescent side, moves back to town as the new head football coach for her son's high school team. Unbeknownst to Samantha, Reed has harbored a crush for his old babysitter all these years. But, Samantha isn't keen on dating anyone, much less a younger man that used to booby trap her bedroom with firecrackers.
While Samantha is doing her best to learn and even make up some of the rules of single life and being a semi-celebrity, Reed comes in and changes the game. Now Samantha must decide if she should get back on the field or if she prefers the sidelines.

MY THOUGHTS:
I learned of this book at an Authors luncheon when it was still in the planning stages. I’m not sure why I took so long to get to it because it was AMAZING! Samantha is the woman we all want to be. I would love it if I got positive responses when I speak my mind. I can’t say that happens very often, I usually cause problems haha. Marriages are hard work. Sam got shafted for sure but she came out stronger and that is all we can hope for in any relationship. I love Sam and Reed together I didn’t want this book to end. Can’t wait for the next one is this series!
