The Wrong Husband (Marriage by Contract, #1)
by


I freaking adored every second of this story. Maya Alden is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite authors. She's a queen at writing stories about sisters who are at odds thanks to the sad way they were raised by their mother. An evil mother who favors her "beautiful and talented" daughter over the other "less beautiful and basically nothing daughter, lavishing the favorite daughter with all of her love, and giving ZERO LOVE to the second daughter. This made such awesome angst in this story. Bianca was such a shitty person, an unfaithful person and a lying, manipulative asshole.

Emilia was such a sweetheart, truly wanting (and never getting) at least a smidgen of love from her abusive family.

Emilia was a true sweetheart, always looking out for others, and even when she (somewhat drunkenly) ends up marrying the EX boyfriend of her sister; She tries to take all the blame and framed Damian as the innocent party. And he LET HER.

Turns out the whole world wanted Emilia's head for marrying Damian too. Poor Emilia wasn't just treated horrifically by her own family, she was treated unforgivably by Damian's family, the media, all of her acquaintances, and all of her co-workers. My heart broke for her.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of this story, and I loved the journey of Damian finally falling for his new little bride, and seeing Emilia finally find true happiness in her life and in her marriage. This story had the perfect amount of angst for me, and the story itself sucked me in from the very first page to the very last. I will absolutely read this lovely little story again. I love this author's angst, and I'm happy she has so many other stories out that I can catch up on next!

Thank you, Ladies! I'm so sorry I'm late replying. I've been getting ready for company and my mind has been all over the place. I hope this story is a goody for you guys too. It just hit me perfectly at the time I read it! xx
Saw all the mixed reviews but I agree with you on this one - couldn’t put it down and the angst was just right.
