I’ve adored every book I’ve read by Amanda Prowse and My Husband’s Wife is no exception. The fourth in a series this is a book with real emotional depth. With warm and relatable characters who you can’t help but root for, I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this lovely book.

Highly recommended.

This took me way to long to write this review and I just had a moment
This was a 4th in series oops I didn't pay attention when I requested it.

Pulled on my heartstrings and I will be reading the rest of this series.
My thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 4 in the no greater strength series and it was such a fantastic read. Right from the start I was hooked on this story and couldn’t turn the pages quick enough. A brilliant domestic drama story.

Well.....
When I read one of Amanda Prowse books I know I’m in deep.
This one was no exception.
She writes about realistic things with such depth that it’s as powerful as a punch to the stomach (emotionally).

I’m one of those women.
Married, my child are grown, my husband and my kids mean the world to me. They are my life, the ones that keep me going and I’m there for them. That makes me happy, just like Rosie in this book.

But there our similarities end thank goodness because one day her husband Phil comes home and tells her he’s leaving her for another woman.

She’s utterly devastated, she had no clue.

In all of this she tries to keep her girls protected emotionally from all what’s going on. Very difficult to do when you’re a broken woman.

She suffers isolation from friends and other things bring her to her knees.

It’s not all suffering though, in between are some really laugh out loud moments just like life. No matter what you are going through there’s always something to smile about somewhere or unexpectedly.

And although you may shed tears, you will end up closing this book with a smile on your face.

Good on Rosie! It’s the rough times that make us emotionally stronger

This is a novel that inspires a lot of feelings. While reading it I went from curious to know what was going to happen, to almost nervous to turn the page, to curious to know how things would end. MY HUSBAND’S WIFE is a story that lingers. Corry does a brilliant job telling the story, and I really appreciated the way she used different perspectives to tell the story. I’m not totally sure I liked the story, but I did really respect the way Corry told the story

This is my second Amanda Prowse book and although I'm a bit late to the party I absolutely loved it. Not my usual genre but I must be softening in my old age! Tears flowed throughout and had to stay up into the early hours to finish it. Highly recommend.

Rosie Tipcott, born, raised and married to local man Phil in a lovely town in North Devon want nothing more from life than what she already has; a husband she loves and a great family of in-laws, two beautiful daughters and her beloved home. Rosie is perfectly happy with her lot - and then out of the blue her husband says he's leaving her for another woman. Devastated, Rosie feels her familiar world begin to crumble at speed until it seems she will lose everything; husband, friends, home - even her daughters seem to be moving on without her. But, as Rosie slowly, painfully begins to rebuild her life she begins to re-evaluate her life and her loyalties, and finds a new peace in an unexpected place!
'My Husband's Wife by Amanda Prowse made for an interesting read, but it took me until after I'd finished it to really appreciate it. As I read everyday things about everyday Rosie et al running through her everyday routine in her everyday life, initially, I began to feel restless for the story to move on; then, as her world shook and begin to fall apart, I got it. Rosie's story could be any woman's story. The ordinary family life could be any one of her readers' families; Rosie was a highly relatable female character - which means what could happen to her....well, it could happen to any one of us! And that, I feel, was the strength of what turned out to be a highly readable book.
I give 'My Husband's Wife' 4 out of 5 stars.
