Copy of book received from author - thank you

I adored the Weekday Brides series, and had wondered as the series progressed what would happen to these brides after their contracts were up.

No need to wonder anymore! Fool Me Once is the first in the spin off First Wives series, and it was a great introduction.

This story focuses on Lori, the Alliance lawyer. It is a story of female friendship, life after divorce, finding love when you least expect it.

I did have trouble feeling the connection between Lori and her fella Reed for a lot of the book. I don't know, it just felt a bit forced for a lot of the time -but this could just be me. It did get better as the story continued.

There is plenty of wit and snark, particularly between Lori and Reed. There is also a bit of mystery and intrigue surrounding Lori and the "first wives". These ladies were in some tough situations, and they handled them well, and Ms Bybee brought some levity to their situation with the way the ladies all interacted.

A fun start to the First Wives series.
