Publisher's summary

In this scandalous follow-up to the Depression-era tale Mrs. Wiggins, award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Mary Monroe delivers even more drama to the Deep South, as a proper church-going woman determined to snare Alabama’s most-sought after widower finds his secret desires and righteous lies come as a package deal....

Forty-something widow Jessie Tucker is beloved throughout Lexington, Alabama, for her kind heart and endless generosity. But she feels it's past time she rewarded herself—especially when upstanding Hubert Wiggins tragically loses his wife and son. Making herself indispensable, yet discouraged by Hubert’s lack of romantic interest, Jessie cooks up a deception she knows will make pious Hubert do right by her....

Hoax or not, Hubert couldn’t be happier. The passionate self he’s long hidden from everyone has a new, much-riskier secret love. And the unsuspecting second Mrs. Wiggins will help him maintain his ever-so-devout image in the community....

But when Hubert is not the ardent lover Jessie always dreamed he was, she turns her desires to handsome younger man Conway. Suddenly the “good church wife” can't resist temptation at all. And someone is watching: Conway’s new girlfriend—and Jessie's longtime rival—Blondeen. Now Blondeen has the perfect opportunity to harass Jessie, destroy her reputation, drive her out of town—then become the real wife Hubert should have had all along...

In one shattering night, Jessie, Blondeen, and Hubert will each go too far. And when their web of deceit threatens to drag them under for good, they will have only one chance to erase the past and claim everything they've ever wanted. If their secrets don't destroy them first....

Typical Drama as Usual

I was expecting a little more of a storyline to a follow-up of Mrs. Wiggins. it was just okay for me. even though there were a few Oh no's! I was really anticipating something outrageous in this follow-up.

good

good but slow until the last 5 chapters hope next book is more exciting its an ok book my aurthers best work.

meh

I expected much more since the first book was so good. This one just didn't seem to flow. The story line was a bit all over the place, focused in where it shouldn't have and left out things that should have been given more detail...idk. It seemed empty. 3 stars.

Such a fan

Do you want a book that will take you in and make you feel like you know the characters personally? Well that's exactly what will happen in Mary Monroe's Empty Vows. From beginning to end I enjoy feeling like I was down south listening to Hubbard, and Jessy's story.
Then ending was perfect!

I liked it until the end

I liked Ms. Monroe's story, it was a great continuation of Mrs. Wiggins. However, I feel like it had, as my husband and I say, "a Tyler Perry ending." The ending felt rushed...BUT....the story throughout the book was AWESOME!

Hope

I hope it will be more I didn’t like the way it ended needing answers

Storyline was just alright

I only finished it because it was an audio book. The female narrator was super annoying. She was trying to get into character but some of her voices were ridiculous.

Interesting

I don't know what everyone else is talking about, this is a good read!!! It kept me going with Audible along with me working 3rd shift I listened to the whole book in 2days... I don't see how one woman can be so Naive!!! Jesse can't be that slow??? This is a prime example of when we see something and pretend we don't see it, all to our very own demise!!!

Empty Vows

The second book was just ok. It didn’t get to the important issues. It left me hanging for the most part. Lot of incomplete areas.

She has done it again

I love this sequel and it was so crazy and unpredictable . Mary Monroe is the bomb
