Heart-wrenching but can't help falling in love with the characters
Nicole continues to provide us with stories that are so realistic, you can't help but fall in love with (or hate) the characters. If you've never given a taboo romance a chance, read this one!! Starting with the prequel The Scarlet Night.
The trials and hardships these two go through... ugh my heart! I wouldn't quite say it was a cliffhanger ending but I am for sure on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next installment! I loved seeing characters we met in previous series. I love the interconnection between all the books that Nicole has wrote.
Knocked it out of the park again, Ms. French!

Do you have your one-click finger warmed up? You're going to need it on this one! EVERY STAR AND THEN SOME! Nina and Zola knocked my socks off! The way this author pulls you into her stories is amazing. Never thought I would like a book where one of the mains cheated. Threw that theory out the window. The way this story reads is very film noir in my head. In my mind, Zola was very Sinatra/Humphrey Bogart type charm. Old school classy but so HOT. Nina was all demure until Zola dirtied her up like a big screen siren. Their chemistry was undeniable and when it burns they know it will take out others, so they wisely decide to end it, but are so drawn to each other they are helpless to fight it. I can NOT wait to see what happens when the gloves are off!

I have been dying for more of Matthew and Nina since reading The Scarlet Night. That little novella caught me hook, line and sinker. The Other Man is the first book in their story and it was brilliant, beautiful and completely addicting.
It is hard not to love Matthew. He’s hardworking, determined and the man knows what he wants and he isn’t afraid to go after it. Plus, the man is super protective. He’s the only man in his family and the way he looks after his sisters is great. I love the sense of family he has when it comes to them, his nieces and nephews and his nonna. Nina may be married, have a family, come from wealth, but there is no hiding the fact she is lonely. Matthew brings out a different side of her and Nina brings out a different side in Matthew. They are two halves that make a whole. However, their “relationship” isn’t easy and at this point I don’t think it ever will be. There is an insane amount of chemistry between them, seriously, when they are together things are explosive!
The Other Man is full of secrets, twists, turns, suspense, drama and HEAT. Once you start it you won’t be able to stop. I can’t wait to see what is in store for them in book 2 of the series. This one is a MUST READ for me!

This isn't my first book by this author... Nicole French has become a favorite of mine over the last few months and I've been excited about this release and I wasn't disappointed. I went into it not exactly knowing what to expect but I knew it would be emotional... Because that's what this author does.
The author managed to break my heart, put it back together again, only to break it all over again. I'm not sure whether I want to scream and cry, curse this author out or give her a hug. I did NOT expect that Matthew and Nina story would make me that emotional, I expected a little but what I got was so much more than expected.
Matthew is a hard worker, he knows what he wants and he isn't scared to grab it. He's determined and I couldn't help but swoon when it came to this man. He was very protective and I love that in a Hero. He's the only male in his family and he is super protective of his family, he has a strong sense of family values, again another box ticked up.
Nina is married, she has a family, she has money, but she is lonely and that is made apparent from the beginning. She can't hide it. So when it comes to these two, there is a connect, Matthew brings out a different side of her, a happier side, and she brings out a different side to her but as much chemistry and spark there is between these two... None of this is going to be easy. Not with everything else coming into it. It's messy but this connection they have for one another is nothing like either of them have felt before. They bring out the best sides in each other and it shines. But will they get the happily ever after?
This book was full of drama, angst, emotion, passion, suspense, mystery and plot twists I DID NOT SEE COMING! GAH! I was completely hooked. Ms. French and her way with words always captivate me and this book was no exception. I was hooked from page one! I can't wait to see where the author goes with this and what book two will bring!
5 Stars!

Let me start this off with I don’t usually like cheating books but since I love Nicole French’s books I wanted to read it anyways. As usual I loved how she spun this book. I loved how drawn to each other Matthew and Nina were and all the angst between them. After reading Jane and Eric’s story and seeing then both in that book you knew they had chemistry but to see it start playing out made you not able to put this book down.

Once again, Nicole has sucked me into her world from the very first chapter. Nina is just such a totally captivating heroine and Matthew.... well you just want to see him get that HEA. I am not even going to lie.... as I sit here and write this my head is still reeling and I am not even done processing this book, but like always Nicole has left us wanting more.... and more..... and more. I can not wait to find out what happens next! These 2, individually have completely intrigued me.... as a couple, they are have got me strapped in for the ride we are taken on. Be prepared.... Nicole French has a way of making you FEEL and you will want to shake her and ask her "WHY?!?!?!?" but I promise you.... she always brings around! I have been so in love with all of her books since the beginning and The Other Man is no different!

I don't know why it took so long for me to finish this one. But I'll be honest, this one's not as exciting as Jane and Eric's story is. When I flipped to the last page, then I found out it's not the end yet. There's another book for Zola and Nina's story..I've been waiting for Zola's story for what seems like ever, only to find out I need to wait again for the continuation of his story
Very much looking forward to it!
