Tara Taylor Quinn is an author who is not afraid to tackle
tough subjects in her books. The fact that she has used her
novels to bring issues such as white supremacy, rape, and
now bigotry to my attention in a way that highlights
each subject without preaching political agendas continues
to draw me to her novels. Her latest book, THE FIRST WIFE,
is no exception. She takes a delicate situation and keeps
readers attention without minimizing the seriousness of the
subject matter.
Jane Hamilton, whose ex-husband James is being accused of
murdering his second wife, is finding out that not only was
he re-married, but he had married Lee Anne while still
married to Jane. Now Lee Ann was dead from having fallen off
a cliff, or had she?
Jane's marriage to James had affected her in a variety of
ways, including how she viewed her sexuality. When her best
friend Brad tries to show her that she is still a strong and
vital woman by having sex with her, things change in more
ways than one. Suddenly, Jane is having to face her past and
see that James wasn't the person she believed him to be, and
Brad could be more than a friend.
As you start to read THE FIRST WIFE be prepared to be drawn
into the story, and be willing to set life aside to read
from it start to finish. I'm looking forward to The
2nd Lie.
Jane’s rule about marriage: if at first you don’t succeed,
don’t try again
A bigamist ex-husband, an anonymous stalker, a murder
inquiry. Magazine editor Jane Hamilton is not having a good
month. But with the support of her best friend, Brad
Manchester, she’s coping—until they become lovers and Brad
complicates things even more by proposing marriage. Brad
understands Jane’s fears, but he’s ready for a wife and
family, ready to move forward. Especially when he finds out
she’s pregnant with his child.
