Laugh out loud funny! I don't think I've ever laughed so much in a rom-com. Even still, there is plenty of tenderness in the story, both in the romance and in the sisterly bond between Nora and Libby. 

I added this book to my Kindle Unlimited library in February after watching @britandherbooks's review. I'm so glad that I did because the book is out of print now, and I don't know why! Thankfully, I was still able to read the book in KU, but now I'm concerned that the author didn't get compensated for the pages read.

I didn't find anything in the book that would warrant it being taken down from Amazon, so I don't know what happened.

I hope the author will rerelease it and continue the story, since the book ends on a cliffhanger. Her social media said just a few weeks ago that book 2 was in the works.

As for my review...

This book was messy in all the best ways. Two brothers, their two girlfriends who are WAY out of their league and put up with all their bullshit and infidelity, and a secret millionaire who is determined to show Jai what a boss man could do for her. She struggles with her desires, despite the fact that she knows her man cheats on her every time they argue. What she doesn't know is that his shadiness runs far far deeper, which puts him in a financial bind that leads to impulsiveness and foolishness. The characters are not perfect, but that makes them real. The book is so engaging and I flew through reading it! I seriously hope I will get the chance to read book 2 and find out the rest of their story!

 

I adored the growing romance developing in secret. This is the first book I’ve read that has given a glimpse into the lives of concubines, and I appreciate that the author used real women in history to base this novel on. There is a squee moment at the end that is just so heartwarming. Highly recommend!
