The Loyal Wife by B. Love
3.0
funny mysterious medium-paced

The Loyal Wife was a wild ride.  I enjoyed the story itself, but the execution threw me off.  Several things had odd explanations that don’t seem rooted in reality, which is a pet peeve of mine. Like you gonna let your man go to clubs by himself to go find friends because you a home body. Come on girl. I won’t mention other spoilers, but just let it make sense.  The explanations given didn’t do it for me and I am left with questions still.  Book had a lot going on, so some things were just a gloss over. 

The characters were passionate and fun.  I didn't feel a connection with any except for Sade, and it didn't go deep.  Dante seems like a pushover and I don’t like how he was portrayed.  He is the golden boy, every girl’s dream.  Handsome, rich, and accepting of everything with  minimal questions.  Heck no.  The sisterly relationship was interesting and described well.  I do think the language used changed halfway through the book and I started to feel like I was reading a more edgy urban fiction book. I will leave this review at this.  Overall, book was lacking for me, but decent plot.
