Absolutely nothing is happening so far. I just have not been invested enough in any of these characters or the plot. Not for me.

Wow, what an enjoyable novel! What I anticipated to be a fluffy, dramatic tale of a cheating charmer ended up being a much deeper evaluation of three women and the conflicting inner dialogues and circumstances that make it challenging for women to leave a relationship or accuse a partner of disloyalty.
This is a story about Lark, Holly and Jessica, who all believe they are in monogamous relationships with the one and only Trip/Jack/Jon. All three women are at different stages of their relationship with him. All three women have different hopes and dreams for themselves and their own careers. The story follows their lives, describing how Trip/Jack/Jon is able to lie so convincingly for so long until they begin to question his tiny slip-ups. On top of that, there are some major Theranos vibes surrounding Trip/Jack/Jon's groundbreaking startup. He may be lying about more than just his love life...
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from these authors.

I love when I find.a book like this -- comes out of nowhere and a gem I can just dive into!! I've never read one of their books before but this one was pure genius!! I loved how they did the 3 POVs and don't let us into Jack/Jon/Trip's head until the very end!! Standing ovation!!

Song/s the book brought to mind: Who's Cheatin' Who by Alan Jackson

Mr. Wright has quite the life, he is rich and successful, and he also has... three partners? Lark, Jessica, and Holly all have different versions of Mr. Wright and he is known by a different name to each of them. The Three Mrs. Wrights by Linda Keir is like a soap opera, and I loved the fact that it was narrated by all three of the ladies this guy is with. It was a little like a train wreck and he was able to get away with so much that it blew my mind a little bit. I thought the pacing was fantastic considering not too much was actually happening, and it was interesting seeing how each woman fit into the story. I especially enjoyed when their stories intertwined and even though Holly is the true Mrs. Wright, I couldn't help but feeling sorry for ALL of them.

It was a pleasant surprise to find out Linda Keir is actually a writing duo made up of Linda Joffe Hull and Keir Graff. The story was so seamless that I literally thought it was one author until I got to the acknowledgements page. I was able to get the audio via Kindle Unlimited, so I decided to do that while following along in my eBook and I'm pretty happy I went that route. Teri Schnaubelt narrated the whole thing and I really liked her voice and the way she did it. I hadn't realized she has narrated so many books, and I will definitely be looking for others she has done. She made the perfect Lark/Jessica/Holly, and even though I like when there are different people for different viewpoints I loved Schnaubelt doing all of them in The Three Mrs. Wrights.

It doesn't dig too deep, but if you are just looking for an escape or something fun to read, I would recommend The Three Mrs. Wrights. Especially if you like soapy, domestic dramas. Mr. Wright was a hideous man, but I loved the women and the end felt satisfying. The book was very engaging and even though I wish there may have been a bit more to it, overall it was a super fun read that kept me going, and I will definitely be looking into more by this author duo!

The title definitely tells you a lot what the book is about. Cheating, scandal, lies.... this book had all the elements of a pathological liar in the works and so good at being a con artist. Mr. Wright was many people, and to all 3 of his endeavors besides all the rest not talked about it was such a good read! This reminded me of a cross between "Something to Talk About"with Julia Robert's giving it the old school feel and a newer twist of "The Other Woman" which I loved both movies! Told from three different women.... Holly, Jessica, and Lark; and bringing it all together in the end it was easy to follow with all the characters and keep up with the story. The beginning started a little slow for me just getting through the introductions but it didn't take long to get into it.Thank you Netgalley for the read to rate and review with my honest opinions.

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted in a thriller - something that grabbed ahold of me in the beginning and then kept me guessing all the way through. True to life, a man can only have side women so long before stuff hits the fan and things explode.. and that's exactly what happens. Lies are always uncovered and this book leaves the reader front and center for all the drama.

What a fascinating read! I went into this book not knowing what to really expect and it was a great book. Three different women are all involved with the same man. One is married to him and has 3 children, one is engaged to him and works with him every day to detect cancer, and one just pitched him on her brilliant idea. Throughout the book they all don't suspect anything even though he's splitting time between the three of them. Towards the end when the women begin to find out about each other, things unravel. I liked how it ended and what happened to each character. It was a good book to read and really reminds someone that you might not ever really know someone, even if you love them.

If The Wives by Tarryn Fisher and The Whisper Network by Chandler Baker had a baby, you would get The Three Mrs. Wrights. All three women are of different ages, at different points in their lives, and are all powerful. They all are romantically and financially involved with the same man. While Jon/Jack/Trip thinks his cover ups in more than just his relationship are solid, these three women are chipping away at those cracks he didnt see coming. I loved Holly for her heart, I loved Jessica for her smarts, and I loved Lark for zany ideas and creativity (that ending, *chefs kiss* ). Three strong women getting revenge. I really liked seeing these women coming together in solidarity and sticking it to him but I wont go into any more detail.

Thank you Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for the review copy.

I had a hard time with this book because it couldn't keep me into the story. I know many people have been enjoying this book but for me it was just ok. Not something I would buy and read again.

Lark, Jessica, and Holly are three strangers who have one big secret. Their significant other is the same man. How long will it take Lark, Jessica, and Holly to realize that the special person in their life isn't really who they think he is. This book starts off a bit slow, but once the women realize something isn't quite right, the book changes to a quicker pace that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Outside my typical suspense. Story of revenge, getting even, and deception. 3 women. Happily married to the same man...so they think living a beautiful life. A little to soap opera ish for me

Holly has a loving husband Jack, her three kids and a beautiful, if not busy life. Jack is always at work and always away on business.
Lark has Trip. The older made she met at a hotel bar who is helping her enhance her career and who she is falling for.
Jessica has Jon, her boss and lover. What more could she ask for?

How does Jack/Trip/Jon manage it? These three women are connected more than they know, and have to do what’s best for themselves.

I found this book to be an easy read. It went well and the flow between characters and story lines was well and not confusing. It was nice to see the overlap sometimes as well. I just found it to be a very slow go, not much happened for the majority of the book and then the ending was rushed. Overall a different and good story.

The Three Mrs. Wrights was an extremely entertaining and quick read. Linda Keir includes TedTalk quotes as the intro to each chapter, which I found interesting and fun. Of course Jonathan/Jack/Trip was an unlikeable character, that's a given, but he was well drawn and his motives were never in doubt. The three females are each fully developed and each one is a solid character. The story itself was strong, as each instance of Karma drawing nearer occurred I found myself more absorbed in the plot. I would definitely read more form Alex Hart.
3.5
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

The story feels slightly slow at the beginning but after 3-4 chapters, once you get the hang of the story, it is UNSTOPPABLE! I started the book at 10pm but had to read it in one sitting. It’s that good! The writing is phenomenal and keeps you intrigued and asking for more, so is the editing. For anyone who loves thrillers, this is the book for you.
MUST READ!!

Thank you to @netgalley and @amazonpublishing (Lake Union) for a free galley in exchange for my review. Linda Keir is an alias for the writing pair Linda Joffe Hull and Keir Graff and this is their third book together. For some reason, I went into this book thinking it was a thriller, and I’ve even seen some early reviews referring to it as a thriller, but it’s definitely not. It is more of a literary fiction with some suspense and tension as the plot builds. It hooked me right away, dragged on in the middle, but ended well enough... though I did think the closing line was a bit cheesy (as well as some of the other dialogue throughout the book). It was very reminiscent of the movie The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton. Overall, I enjoyed it though it’s just not my favorite style of book... however I think there are plenty of readers out there who will love it, plus it’s currently FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. The story is about three women who are with the same man. I thought this would be more of a thriller but it's a romance with twists.

Jon....or Trip....or Jack....who is he, really? I guess that would depend on the woman you ask. He has spent a lifetime lying and deceiving people for his own personal gain, whether it be financial or in his personal life. On the surface, he is a captivating, charming man, with an answer for everything. Down below lies a mentally unstable, narcissistic, arrogant jerk. What happens when his 3 current women realize what is happening and decide they won't put up with it?

Overall I enjoyed this book. I felt like it was a bit of a slow start and it took me a little time to really get into it. Once women started realizing things were amiss is when it really seemed to pick up and get interesting. I enjoyed the interactions between the characters. I particularly liked how the women handled each other--I feel like that sent a positive message about how to deal with being in that situation. The end was a double edged sword--I was pleased with the overall outcome, but feels like it just goes to show that dirtbags can always wind up landing on their feed.

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Lark, Jessica and Holly are three strangers, but they all share one major thing in common... their significant other is the same man! Jonathan Mitchell Wright III has lied his way to prominence, wealth and success, and right into the hearts of these three women. But how long can he keep up with the intricate webs of lies he is spinning for each of them?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and liked the fact that it was told through the view point of women and switched back and forth between them with each new chapter.
Well written with good flow, making it easy to read. The author created characters you can believe in, so much so that I found myself with an image of Jonathan, with his charismatic self-assurance that he could control everything and everyone in his life, that made me want to pray for his downfall.
A very enjoyable read that is well deserving of 4 stars and I highly recommend.
My thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing and the authors for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

This book was an interesting and has some unexpected turns. These three women are marrying and dating the same men and he doesn’t get caught!! And these women are beautiful and clever and they are totally blindsided by this ! It surprisingly took more than half the book for them to figure out what was happening to them , which shocked me, But the ending is well worth the wait !!!!

This book was so good, the story kept me interested in reading and by the end of the book the three women had me cheering and I really wanted to slap Mr Wright right into next year.

Three women and one man that shares them all, but they don't know that he is sharing himself with other wives, how he got away with it made for a great story.

Very good read
