jasmyn9's review against another edition
2.0
This was a really well-written story. The characters were incredibly dynamic and fun, each with their own personality that really made them stand out from the group, while also added an important essence to the overall group as well. Some descriptive storytelling really brought the city to life around them.
But, I didn't like it. It was just a storyline that I couldn't seem to enjoy. Nothing wrong with the writing whatsoever, but the story just made me mad. The lies, the deceit, and the whole fact that they are trying to break up marriages (yes, with good reason, but still) was something I found I just couldn't enjoy.
Plus the twins kept getting mixed up. We have Grey and Greg.....I'm sorry but those names were just too close to each other for me and I kept wanting to switch them around and confusing myself.

The premise looked quite interesting, however I felt disappointment right from the beginning. The main character – Claudia is “innocent” and “too nice”. I see boring and boring. I like a strong female characters and while Claudia was not necessarily weak, she was very 2-dimensional and so were her 3 girl friends. All these women were defined straight away and there was no room for character development what so ever (apart from Bridget who got a boyfriend, what a progress).
The men of this book? Obviously, the love interest is insanely hot and rich. Which usually does not put me off, but I could just not see WHY would people be so mesmerised by Claudia. Yes, she was apparently out-of-this-world beautiful, but I didn’t see anything beyond that. She was supposed to be smart, yet it was so painfully obvious what is going on this book!
Which brings me to another problem – plot.
The STUPID misunderstanding that were created to prolong the book, that was annoying. Most of the storyline was predictable.
This was not a horrible read, I’m not gonna deny that some sex scenes got me hot and bothered, but a book needs to give me more! Give me great characters or a great storyline. Preferably both.

So when I first picked up this book I thought it would be a casual read that I wouldn't really get into and was just something to pass the time. I was so wrong! Once I started reading this book I could not put it down!
The book is about a group of businesswomen who's job it is to expose cheating husbands so that their wives can get out of their prenups. However when the girls get their biggest client who is willing to pay more than they could possibly imagine they think all their dreams have come true! That is until one of the women starts falling for a man who could turn the whole case upside down.
I really enjoyed this book, it reminded me a lot of the 50 shades books with some of the scenes however this portrayed it a lot more romantically. The characters seemed so realistic with their hopes and dreams that I was immediately hooked to find out what would happen.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes romance or those who enjoyed the 50 shades of Grey series as the themes are very similar (rich, attractive guy) however there is less of the BDSM abuse and just more of the romance involved in a whirlwind romance that they think will not last. This book is captivating and I personally really enjoyed it and read it in one sitting, it was thrilling and exciting yet at the same time kept the story realistic. Would definitely recommend!
