One wealthy businessman, a trio of unsuspecting wives, and an explosive turn of events. In this scandalous, twist-filled new series from award-winning author Shelly Ellis, will too many secrets and one devastating bond unite three women--or destroy them?

Noelle. Diamond. Vanessa. Each woman believes she is Cyrus Grey's only wife--until he's nearly shot to death. Now, as he lies in a coma, the deceptions keep coming, unraveling everything they thought they knew...

Gorgeous model Noelle's marriage to Cyrus anchored her--though she couldn't understand why he wouldn't have a baby with her. They certainly had the money. But she's learning fast just how Cyrus became so rich--thanks to his fatally attractive business partner...

For Diamond, marrying Cyrus saved her from the streets--and being a pimp's punching bag. But her past makes her the police's prime suspect in Cyrus' shooting. She's determined to get to the truth--if she can she survive long enough to tell it...

Even with her beautiful house, three kids, and elegant lifestyle, Vanessa sensed something was wrong in her marriage. But she never expected this--or that taking a lover for comfort would change the game completely.

With danger closing in, Cyrus' life hanging in the balance, and collateral damage threatening to take them all down, how far will each woman go to be the real Mrs. Grey?

My Review:

Bigamy, lies and three wives - oh my! 

Voracious readers of the domestic thrillers that include multiple wives to the same damn man won't find anything new in this first-in-a-series but you'll have a damn good time!  For me, this is a compulsive popcorn thriller that was pure entertainment.  Noelle, Diamond and Vanessa - three very different women with only one thing in common - Cyrus.  I legit don't know what I would do if I ran to the hospital because I found out my husband was shot and then get there and find he has two other wives.  I certainly hope there's nothing that can be used as a weapon near me though.....

Of course the women talk, there's more to the story behind each of them and drama bubbles up page after page after page!  I am here for all of it.  I did feel that the "twist:reveal" left me underwhelmed.  I saw it coming but it was almost too simple - especially for the reasoning.  Just my opinion because if we were going to get all this build up, then I needed something better than... well, y'all are just going to have to read this if you want to know. 😉  Come for the steamy scenes and fill yourself full of drama.

As a first-in-a-series, it lends well to getting the reader to know the main characters and put a base on a continuing storyline.  Despite some misses, I was thoroughly entertained and absolutely will need to see where this goes.  There's no rest for the wicked... or the reader who loves to read about them.
