"It's always been my lifelong ambition to try all the flavors."

What I liked most about this story was that the promise you're given from the title and cover was delivered in spades. If you think this is a story about a man with a whole lot of love to go around, and his women, you'd be right.

What made this so absolutely fun to read was what gets me every time it's done well: Great characters and character development. I found myself following this intense sometimes-love-story, sometimes-chaotic-mystery with loads of anticipation. The clever and constant back-and-forth between whoever you happen to be reading about (as this book has several main characters) cements this as what I would call a delightful page-turner.

With what I thought was a very satisfying conclusion, I'm very curious to see what else these authors have cooked up!

I loved reading this book, I literally could not put it down.

If follows the stories of three women, Holly,Jessica and Lark. Each have a relationship with Trip, Jon & Jack.

As the book progresses, you begin to understand that it's not all it seems, and some serious payback and planning for revenge is well over due

Highly recommended read
Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for ARC.

The book was well written and so was the story told by the three women. It was interesting to see the same story being told but by the diff where characters on their own versions. I feel the ending could have been better to compliment the story

A fun guilty read for me. It was just a perfect summer read, perfect to read outside while enjoying the sunshine.

I found this book frustrating, but yet very intriguing. It took me a bit to get into the book, and understand the characters. Once I did it was hard to put down. I enjoyed this ARC copy. thank you Netgalley

Really good read. Would recommend to friends and family. I could sympathise with characters (important for any fiction novel!) and looked forward to picking it up and reading the next few chapters! Interesting plot line and a good ending. Will look out for more novels by the author. Thank you.

What a book. And what a protanganist. Urgh, just the type of person who has no redeeming charecteristics to the reader but obviously has them in bucketloads to the three women who he persuades to marry him. A brilliant read which had me gripped to see how it would work out. A great read

The Three Mrs. Wrights follow Lark, Jessica and Holly as they navigate life after discovering the man they all thought was their partner is in fact, a polygamist who uses each relationship to expand his business.

I raced through this book and found it enjoyable but I'd say you have to approach it with an open mind as Mr. Wright is a despicable man. He doesn't just cheat on his wife (as if that wasn't bad enough) but he enters into committal, long-term relationships using a different name for each. The whole story needs to be taken for what it is -fun, shameless chick-lit because really, this guy is a total piece.

The story is told from each of the character's point of view in alternating chapters, as well as TED Talks from his perspective. I guess Holly is the one you could think of as "the wife" as she has raised a family with him. Holly is quite a difficult person -at least that's he tells Jessica, one of his side pieces. Jessica is young and naive, and when he tells her he is separated from his wife, she takes it at face value. Let that be a good life lesson there. But I digress. Finally, we have Lark who has a job where she needs to travel a lot, so she doesn't find it suspicious that her boyfriend is away for long periods of time.

Kudos to Mr. Wright for managing to juggle not one but three long-term relationships on top of running a business and raising three children AND not getting his own name mixed up in the process. Now ladies, next time your man doesn't respond when you call his name, remember you may or may not be part of an intricate web of lies!

The book is a good laugh, don't get me wrong, but I can't give it 5 star based on the fact that he seems to get away with such a disgusting lifestyle. I know the book is exactly what it says in the tin but it's a bit too much for me and I didn't feel his victims were vindicated.

Disclosure: I'd like to thank the publisher for my copy of the uncorrected proof. This is my honest review.

This was a good read. You could see where it was probably going to go from an early stage but it was well written and the relationships in the book were complex. Really enjoyed this book. Thanks for letting me review the book

The Three Mrs Wrights is one heck of a page-turner. It's an exciting, gripping and original read, that will captivate the reader from the first page and have them gasping in shock in some parts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and could not put it down. The alternating chapters were well written, and each one in a voice as different as the women it represented. As with anything, the truth does come out and when it does... watch out. My only comment is on the cover art - I feel that it does not truly reflect the characters within the story. Holly would wear riding boots and riding pants, Jessica would wear a business suit and heels, and Lark would be wearing skinny jeans and Chucks or Doc Martens - but that's just me.

This was a fun and easy read about three strangers who end up married to the same man. As Dr. Wright's lies to them, and his deceptions at work begin to catch up with him, he is faced with repercussions.

This was a quick and entertaining read! It was well written, the characters were interesting, and the ending was satisfying!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Three Mrs. Wrights was utterly entertaining. A serial cheater and budding polygamist Jonathan Wright (aka Jack, Jon and Trip) has been married to Holly for 20+ years, has 3 children and a thriving medical research facility.
While traveling for work, he meets Jessica. They have a whirlwind romance, she relocates to Chicago and takes on a position within his company, where his wife serves on the board. Last, he meets Lark. She’s a free spirit and buddy game designer based out of LA. They also fall in love and plan to marry. The story is told from each woman’s point of view. While the story is full of half truths and deception, the undoing of Jonathan is satisfying and ties up the story nicely. 4 stars.

This is the first book I have read by these authors and I really enjoyed it! Told from the point of view of all three, each with a different version of the same story. My only complaint is the ending, I thought it was a bit abrupt and wanted it wrapped up a bit more.

This was a really enjoyable read. It began in the bar of a hotel with a dashingly handsome guy chatting up a very attractive young woman. As we progress through the novel, chapters from the points of view of other women inform us that he is also in relationships with other, equally attractive and also successful women. We see events unfold from their perspectives. The story is told very well and it isn't long before we see Mr Wright on the path to getting just what he deserved. This was a good read, it was enjoyable from the start to the end and it kept me highly entertained. I'll definitely look out for more from the authors who make up the pen name Linda Keir.

This is a great book. Even though you know the connection between the three women, you are on the edge of your seat waiting for them to find out about each other. Gripping and enjoyable

The Three Mrs. Wrights was a fun fast paced novel. I was expecting more of a thriller, bht received a chick lit beach read. I really liked the character change POV in each chapter. I liked Jessica and Holly, I felt like Lark was kind of just a filler. She didn’t really add much to the novel for me. It took a while to get to the twist, but I enjoyed it. Jon/Jack/Trip eventually got what he deserved.

Thank you @netgalley for this ARC. This book was a decent enough just not a lot of depth to characters. I just wanted to get to the end and see how he got caught but then it was anti-climatic at the end. Could have been better, could have been worse.

This was a fun read that reminded me of the movie "The Other Woman," in that there are three protagonists all tangled up with the same guy. And, as in the movie, they work together to bring him down. There are also hints of Elizabeth Holmes and her company Theranos, as depicted in the documentary "Out for Blood". Jonathan's company and his promises bear a lot of similarities to those made by Elizabeth IRL.

Three POVs - Holly, Lark and Jessica - are told in alternating chapters. The antagonist, Jonathan, appears to have hit three decades with his choices. Holly, his legal wife and pediatrician, is in her 40s as he is, Jessica is a bright MD in her early 30s and recruited to help with Jonathan's start-up (and cover-up) and Lark is in her 20s, a game creator trying to get her start. She's the different one of the two, not as highly educated or privileged but just as fierce.

My main question as I read was - where did Jonathan get the time? Running a start-up requires 110% attention. He also had a family with a very busy wife who, in addition to being a part-time pediatrician, ran a horse-rescue barn. Apparently, Jonathan has a 48-hour day while the rest of us deal with 24, because he's got time to spare for a mistress +1. The logistics of such a life are mind boggling, yet none of the women really question the amount of time he's gone. It was also a bit hard to stay in the narrative, given the backstory that Jonathan gave a TED talk and is a rising star in both business and science circles. How could he go incognito for as long as he did with Lark? The implication is that a woman in her 20s wouldn't pay much attention to the circles he ran in.

Anyway, I enjoyed this read despite its derivative content. The narratives of each woman were unique, each faced different challenges and had different goals. It was entertaining!

Linda Keir takes the concept of relationships and cheating to a whole different level and keeps you hanging on to every word! In The Three Mrs. Wrights, she is able to take a situation that could’ve been cliche, to a much more complex, intriguing, and interesting level. I loved it! The relationships in this book most certainly are not cliche! Although things may look simple on the surface, everything goes much deeper and is more twisted than you can imagine. Once you start reading, you wont be able to stop! I think readers will enjoy this book because the different characters, situations, emotions, settings, and personality traits are diversified and easy to relate to. It is easy to identify with the characters and events. Linda Keir has done a fantastic job capturing the lives of the characters and making everything seem so real! Brilliant!

Plot: The book is told from the different points of views of the main female characters. All three women are in love with the same man, although they do not know he is an entirely different person than who they perceive him to be. Is he Jon, Jonathan, or Trip?

Mr. Wright is married and has three children with his wife, Holly. Although Holly and her husband haven’t been happy in a long time, neither has brought up the conversation of divorce, so they keep going day to day in a somewhat rocky marriage. Her passion is working with kids and rescue horses. Thanks to her husband, she has gained the financial contributions, community attention, and resources she needs to keep her program funded. Every year they have a benefit to raise money for the program, and his charm and largely known contacts bring in the money she needs to keep Horse Stability funded. He has always had to travel for work, but his time spent traveling has been increasing lately. Holly knows that his success and fortune are a result of him keeping good communications with his national and international contacts, so she tries to be understanding of the travel demands he faces. He had an affair the night before they got married though, and once since they’ve been married, so she cant help but be somewhat concerned. Is he really traveling for work, or is he having another affair?

On a business trip he meets another woman, Lark, who is desperately trying to promote and sell a game she invented to possible investors/buyers at a meeting the next day. They meet in the hotel bar, and from that moment on, her life is never the same. She meets with the potential interested individuals, but gets swept up in the promises Trip makes. In the relationship with Lark, she knows him as Trip. He makes a financial offer that is beyond generous, and she is able to start working from an office to get her game on the market. Having convinced her that he is somewhat of an angel investor, she truly believes that he loaned her the money because he genuinely believes in the success of her sales and distribution of her game. He even bought an office space that is large enough to have a room in it for him to work in himself when he is in town. She quickly falls in love with him, despite him being a few years older, and is eagerly anticipating a future being Mrs. Wright. If only he didn’t have to be out of town so much! Then again, his out of town work is what has helped him become so successful, so she can understand.

At a convention, he was a guest speaker and met Jessica. She was ambitious about getting to start working in the medical program at Duke, but he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. She accepted his offer to work with some of the most brilliant minds to come up with a way to painlessly detect cancer. They live together, but he has to travel frequently because of the problems his soon to be ex wife causes and so he can see his kids. The real problem is that his “soon to be ex wife” isn’t a soon to be ex at all, but of course Jessica doesn’t know that. Due to the needs of her job, Jessica starts having to travel more herself so even she doesn’t have a consistent schedule. It will all be worth it though once the divorce is final, she thinks, as she anticipates a life as being Mrs. Wright.

What happens when the relationships he has with these three different women come closer and closer to being exposed? When Lark shows up to surprise him, how can he sneakily get away from Jessica without her knowing? When Holly shows up at his work, can Jessica keep it together and not mention their supposedly impending divorce? What about when his daughter’s friend happens to see him with another women and casually mentions it at their house? How far can he go to keep his lives separate, and what happens when the truth comes out?

Thank you Linda Keir, Netgalley, and Lake Union Publishing for allowing me the privilege of reading The Three Mrs. Wrights. It was my pleasure! My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinions.
