The Unwanted Wife

By: Natasha Anders

Narrated by: Evelyn Rose

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.

Contains mature themes.

Fell in love again

I read this for the first time years and years ago. Since then I reread it at least 3-4 times a year. Thank you for the audiobook it was wonderfully done!!

So much yearning

This book has so much yearning and hurts in the very best way. Narrator did a great job.

Sandro & Theresa

Sandro wanted to purchase his family’s vineyard back from Theresa’s father and in order to do that her father arranged their marriage.
Theresa is young, naive and marries Sandro because she is in love with him. He hates Theresa
because he thinks she sold herself for her father and wants his old life back. So, he ignores her, is distant, never introduces her to his friends or family.
When Sandro realized she didn’t sell herself for her father he changed towards her and had to work extra hard to undo his mental cruelty. I did enjoy it when she had an attitude and answer for everything he said.
Overall a decent story if its free. Plenty of push and pull and lack of communication.

The most immature heroine

The heroine killed the story for me. How many times does he have to repeat the same thing?? The story just kept going in circles. What a waste of time!

Repetitive & unfathomable

My two biggest gripes:

Very hard to believe this man can go from 0-100 cruel to kind as quickly as he did. It just didn’t add up.

And it was incredibly repetitive. Arguing around in circles for the entirety of the book. At some point, you gotta just take a poo or get off the pot.
