The Unwanted Wife | Natasha Anders

The Book Blurb

Rating - 3 /5  ★★★

My Review

At first sight, Theresa falls in love with her husband, Alessandro. After one year and three-quarters of a loveless marriage as an unloved wife, Theresa decides it's time to leave. However, Alessandra would only give her divorce if she gives him a son. Everything changes when Theresa asks for divorce because Alessandra now wants her. After too many months of their marriage, Alessandra truly desires Theresa or the son from her, or there is a far deeper truth concealed in his actions that keeps him from approaching her.

The Unwanted Wife is a different and unique story and an emotional ride. The first half of the story is a roller coaster of emotions. The writing style is fantastic, and it transports me to the depths of Theresa's pain. I really enjoy how the author writes about Theresa's character growing from naive to stubborn and, most significantly, the point about the differences between love and trust in marriage or relationships. The chemistry between Sandro and Theresa is mind-blowing, and it will keep you hooked till the finish.

Although, I connected with Theresa and sympathized with her. I didn't have the same feelings for Sandra, and the other characters did not have any descriptive bonds. The story mostly relies on Sandro and Theresa, and the other characters are just others. Theresa's relationship is closer to her cousin's husband than her cousin, whom she often referred to as her closest and only best friend. Most of the story feels like a guilt trip from both characters to each other, and the climax happens so quickly that I missed it.

Overall it is an engaging story with fresh concepts, angst, and longing romance. It can be read-only once.

Recommendation

• Pick it up if you appreciate reading about love after marriage or arranged marriage tropes.
• Only for adults.
• An excellent choice for newcomers.
