Somebody's Wife

"Jemma had me at hello... but she was somebody's wife."
Dr. Ezekiel Green is ready to make a fresh start in a new city after
the divorce from his high school sweetheart. What was supposed to be a
professional business dinner with a future colleague quickly trans‐
formed into a love at first sight encounter... or so he thought. Dr.
Jemma Holiday was spirited, brilliant, beautiful, and another man's
wife.

"Doesn't he know I'm somebody's wife? Does he care? Shit... do I care?"
Dr. Jemma Holiday had the perfect life, love, marriage, and family in
the public's eye. But behind closed doors, betrayal and mundane
monotony were suffocating. A marriage of situational necessity. What
was supposed to be a pleasurable evening out with her sorority sisters,
abruptly transitioned to the one-night stand of her dreams... or so she
thought.

What's the worst that could happen?

This book was just what I needed to avoid a reading slump. It was easy to read, but dealt with some real, heavy, relatable topics. The descriptions were corny at times, but the spice was SPICING! I clutched my pearls a few times. Looking to read more by this author for sure.

5/5 ⭐️’s “Just drop your location and I’ll be there….Every F*ing time!” “Don’t hesitate, don’t think, just come!” “Anytime you need a friend, release, restoration, drop your location, anytime, any place, day or night and I’ll be there!” “Words to describe black women’s skin: Rich, Golden, umber, velvet, beguiling, chocolate, smooth, silky, perfect, complex, mesmerizing, captivating, alluring” “You’re contagious!” Those are just some of my fave quotes from this book! This book was well written and I absolutely LOVED the build up to the relationship between Jemma and Zeke. Where’s my Zeke?? 👀 (well I’m not somebody’s wife 😝)
