Borrowed Wife

This was the week to read Borrowed Wife and I had to join the bandwagon as well. Anytime there are such wide-ranging reviews, I have to take a gander.I enjoyed this one. PW does a great t job of showing how life comes at you when you’re making plans. She sets up the hero’s conflict without ever giving us his point of view. Is he going to feed his revenge addiction or is he going to go straight and live a life with loving the heroine? Even our dim bulb heroine knows she’s not getting the he [...]

I love this book. Mainly cause this book is the inspiration for my ow who aren't stopped by a black hole shelf. Fennella - the evil OW can not only overwhelm even a supermassive black hole, she can hold off hoards of barbarians with one hand. Fennella is amazingly awesome in her power of evil owness and I admire that.But really, Logan was never sleeping with Fennella, no matter what she told Abbey. Cause Logan was too obsessed with having revenge and having Abbey to even think about Fennella as [...]

Enjoyable. I love a vengeful hero that doesn't pull his punches and there's something about PW's manly, domineering men that I enjoy. The end didn't work for me though. I think PW wrote herself into a corner with the complexities of the h/H's relationship issues. She knew she couldn't write herself out of it within the limited page count of a Harley, so she lets the heroine get hit by a car. Usually love that trope, especially if there is amnesia involved, but this was a bit too deus ex machina [...]

She married him despite all the glaring clues that he had a huge chip on his shoulder against her father and even threatened him with revenge for a Great, Big, Terrible, Past Misdeed. Guess they didn't have google back then but I still find it odd that every single player in this book knew of this Great, Big, Secret and she could have cleared it all up with a couple of questions but clearly chose not to burst the bubble. I've known ostriches with less willful blindness than this chick.Then the w [...]

Abigail married Logan, which turned out to be a bad move, because Logan had this whole revenge scenario going on with Abigail’s dad. And Logan told Abigail that of course she wasn’t part of the revenge, but of course that was a ridiculous thing to say and they split up.Abigail went back to her father, and is trying to hold the failing business together while her father has heart attacks and is generally a bastard to her, and Logan yells about how her dad killed his parents and hatches increa [...]

I for one truly believe he slept with the OW. Because I when in HP world has it stopped heroes from sticking their dicks in anything just because they're head over heels in love with heroine?Sex with OW and loving heroine are not mutually exclusive.It makes sense somehow in their head.Not in mine.He gives her a promotion????!!!Count me out!

The heroine, abigail, and the hero, logan, have been separated for four years. Abbie knows her father and husband hate each other and the first time she saw logan he was threatening to ruin her fathers business in five years. Despite that she fell desperately in love and they married. After a year she thinks Logan only married her as a pawn in his vendetta against her father, and for lust. He's never said he loved her and she thinks he still has a woman in his life from before their marriage. So [...]

Given all the reviews I had to read this.Poor sweet and young Abigail. She’s stuck with a cold father that treats her like a worker minion contemporary, and a cold husband who puts her on the shelf until he’s ready to deal with her.Five years ago, Abigail met Logan and it was insta-something. She was only 19, and I’m guessing the H was in his mid 30s. If the book stated his age, I missed it. Unfortunately, there are issues in the marriage due to Logan’s hate and revenge plot for Abbie’ [...]

This was just an okay read for me. It was compelling enough to finish it, but I can't say much more. The heroine was TSTL and absolutely pitiful, the hero over manipulative and her father non-redeemable. I have a hard time with these types of romances, because the love is just not credible. Logan Steele sets out to destroy her family after his father commits suicide as a result of some rather nasty business dealing orchestrated by heroine's father. It is an all out brutal, calculated 5 year acti [...]

dumb heroine + vengeful hero + manipulative father + wannabe ow"You imagine you’re important enough to cause this devastation?""You must have heard all the talk about Fenella Mitchell. She was before my time, during my time and I expect she’s with Logan still."

I found my self yelling at the lead lady to grow a spine and run her father and her ex over with a truck. Didn't believe in the ending.

I don't know how to describe this bookIt had its ups and downs during the whole reading, but this is a book I wouldn't consider to rate with 4 or 5 stars.The main and the most important thing I loved about the story, it was that both characters remained celibate during the separation *_* Some of my friends know that I am a sucker of celibate heros and heroines.The only thing I didn't like about the hero was that he wasn't like those heros you would never forget, I felt he wasn't as alfa and hot [...]

"I need you. That’s where it begins and that’s where it ends. Nothing else matters."

To have but not to hold! Logan Steele was determined to win back his bride, Abigail -- even after four long years. And if she wouldn't come willingly, then he'd have to make her an offer she couldn't refuse and simply 'borrow' her back for a while. His pretense -- that he needed a wife to clinch a deal. His intention -- to persuade her to stay. He'd given himself a tough task, for Abigail was equally determined not to forgive Logan for the wrong she thought he's done her. Yet if she truly didn' [...]

"Borrowed Wife" is the story of Abigail and Logan.When Abigail's father falls sick and the company she owns is in ruins, she finds her estranged husband is responsible for the same and gets blackmailed to be his "real wife" in lieu of him helping save her company.Basically the story is them fighting an attraction that never went away, and her discovering the truth behind his hate.I really liked the devoted hero, the heroine was meh (she seemed judgmental).Overall, was just an average read. I get [...]

Abigail fell head over heels for Logan when they first met and they married shortly after. She was 19 and he was 32. What she didn't know was that Logan had a vendetta against her father and his goal in life was to destroy her father's company. The book starts four years after her separation from Logan. Logan has been systematically destroying her father's company. Now with the company almost in ruins, Abbie's father has a heart attack and Logan is back in Abbie's life demanding that she decided [...]

Maybe 2.5 stars. I repeatedly read this author hoping that I'll like the book, because generally I like the kinds of plots and set-ups she uses. But then something just doesn't click -- usually that I find the hero's feelings way too obvious, and without some subtlety or something that leaves you guessing, there just isn't much tension to the story. So, this was only ok for me.

Sweet cheesy love story. I adored Abby and Logan! I love my PW marathon.

I tried to finish this one but I lost interest. Great story potential but she was way to nice and let both her father and the hero get away with treating her like crap. I like about three quarters of the book I kept hoping it will get better, very disappointed

2.5 Stars and only because the heroine is a little pocket rocket. I love her spirit and the way her dad raised her. She was sweet but still had backbone

i didnt even read the synopsis when i started reading the book. all i know is that patricia wilson writes great alpamale heroes and im not disappointede hero was set to crush their family into ashes but after seeing his estranged wife, he decided against it. he was hard and ruthless but at the same time caring. because of the mistrust around her the heroine decided not to hold onto anything and just let go and runaway only that didnt happen because of unfortunate circumstances. reconciliation fo [...]

Oh i love it . I didn't like the hero till the end lol but the heroine was so sweet. They met when she was 19 and they get married But the heroine found out that her husband used her just for revenge because he hates her father and he didn't want to have kids with her so she ran away from him and after 4 years they met again but he doesn't want the revenge anymore He was really mean with her and her father

Solid read from Patricia Wilson. Great characters, compelling plot, well paced and written.

Loved it. The Heroine actually matured with age .
