Publisher's summary

No one had ever looked at her and seen perfection - until now.

Delicate, titian-haired Theresa Noble has met her father’s associates in the past, but the gorgeous, Italian-born Sandro De Lucci leaves her speechless. Eighteen months into their marriage, however, Sandro has turned to ice. Desperate to escape a relationship that has proven to be as stubbornly passionate as it is cold and hateful, Theresa summons up the courage to ask for a divorce. But before he’ll grant her request, Sandro demands something from Theresa: a son.

The stalemate sickens her. Never mind that Sandro has yet to introduce Theresa to the large family that means so much to him. Or that Theresa overhears her husband on the phone with a mystery woman. Most damning is that Theresa senses, in Sandro’s treatment of her, the behind-the-scenes machinations of Jackson Noble, her cruel father. From the depths of her anxiety, Theresa must seek an empowering truth about the husband who calls her, with such cold affection, his cara, his beloved.

Great Read

I really enjoyed this book a bit predictable however still very interesting. The narrator was awesome and really made the story come to life.

Great story, Not so great narration

I loved this story. I love how the heroine goes from having no backbone and very low self esteem, to being strong standing up for herself. I liked the Hero, although I resented him through some of the book. My only complaint is the narration. The narrator read the male part like groaning. The voice for the Hero was half groan like he was in pain. The voice for the heroine was no better. It could have been much better without that affection.

Loved the story but

the narration was cringe-worthy! The narrator couldn't decide if our heroine was English, Australian, French, or American Southern Bell and if our hero was Russian or Transylvanian (hint; he was supposed to be Italian). Her accents were truly horrible.

The story, on the other hand, was fantastic. I felt heartsick for both characters, for very different reasons, and truly rooted for them and their hea.

This was my first read by Natasha Anders, but it won't be my last. I wish I could say the same fir Justine Eyres narration, but I will run a mile from any audio book that requires her to read with an accent.

Loved it

I like this narrator she’s done other books and I have no problem w here
This books was short and sweet w a HEART

A bit different

At first this was hard to listen to because of the narrator's accent. The more I listened to the book, the easier it became and I then started enjoying the story.

It's a winner!

Where does The Unwanted Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is up there. Not in the top 10 but it definitely scored high.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sandro. He was very masculine, honest, and focused on achieving his goals. I thought the steps he took to get to where he needed to be were quite admirable and I just love honest, masculine men, so there you have it.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She did a great job with the accent and the male parts. I think she is very talented and really made the book feel authentic and flow smoothly.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hmmm good question...maybe something like "Fighting against it, only makes you fall harder for it"..not my best work, but hey its late and I'm sleepy.

Any additional comments?

I thought this was a really good deal. I really enjoyed listening to it. I found it very relaxing and for the price of this book you can't beat it. I highly recommend it.

Really good

It was a loving roller coaster of Tell Her How You Feel. But it was all worth it in the end.

Reminiscent of Old Harlequin

For those of us who cut our teeth on Harlequin Romance novels this book reminds me of this. I really enjoyed this book. I thought that I wouldn't enjoy the narrator but she was perfect. I can't wait to read the other books in the series. Please enjoy😊
