"It was madness what we were doing, but I tried halfheartedly to care and failed spectacularly."

Inconvenient Wife is a slow burn, best friends to lovers RomCom that will have you smile wide during the whole book. It's light and funny with characters easily to fall for.

"I'm adrift in an ether that is focused on every sound she makes, every breath, every shudder, and has no sense of time or place."

Gwen and Beau have a friendship that makes you jealous. It's deep, caring, loyal and unbreakable. Their chemistry and the dynamic of their friendship is outstanding and wins you over right away.

Whereas Gwen realizes quite quickly she's been in love with her best friend her whole life, Beau takes his time. Oblivious to Gewn's real feelings he drops a brick after brick up to the point where he hurts her so much that it suddenly opens his eyes and really sees her. But how do you turn a friendship you are afraid to loose into something more? Well that's the journey you'll have to take while reading Inconvenient Wife.

Gwen is pretty awesome. She cares deeply for Beau and is prepared to give up the love of her life only to see him happy, to pursue and fulfill his dreams. Gwen is a funny, hot, sensitive, Disney loving woman who is not afraid to speak up and take action. She's totally someone you want to be friend with.

Beau is great. He's not only good looking but he is caring, self-confident and real. It's fun to see how carefree he is around Gwen and how natural he always seems to be gravitating back into her orbit. He's totally not only boyfriend but easily husband material!

"What is romantic love, if not a combination of friendship, respect, and buckets of sexual chemistry?"

With her outstanding writing style, Natasha found a way to tell Gwen's and Beau's story with a lot of humor, sincerity and sex appeal that will grip you from the first page to the last. It might takes it's time but suddenly BOOM you will desperately need something to cool you down.

Inconvenient Wife is totally a mood-lifting and page-turning RomCom not easily to forget!

""How do you spell love, Pooh?" Gracie asks me. ... "You don't spell it, Piglet. You feel it.""

To be honest I didn’t finish the whole thing, I got about 80% through and then I had had enough. It was just taking both characters too long to realize what you know from the beginning.

I would have liked more of trystans story :)

Beau and Gwen are interesting, entertaining, intriguing, relatable, fun characters. I enjoyed them as individuals and as a couple. Their romance is full of twists and turns, some of which were fun to read. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story. I love that we got to see Trystan and Emmy from the first book. 
 
I enjoyed the audio version of this story and the narrators.
