The Wives We Play by Briana Cole

1.0

I was excited to find this author and see that several of her books were free on audible. I started with this one but was very disappointed.

Kimera is just a character I could not like. She would do anything for money and also was really dumb about it. She signed a marriage contract she did not read, did not follow up on why she was fired, nor on any warnings and clues...did not understand things even when they were obvious.
It was also not believable that she loved the other man as she treated him with so little respect and never told him the truth.
There were a few times in the book, like when her sister-wive died, where an interesting story could have happened, but despite the words her sister spoke before she died, nor the diaries led to anything. Even when her husband gave her a significant warning and then died, she was foolish. There was no big surprise as it was quite clear who the villain in the story was, the only person that did not get it was Kimera. This book was too frustrating.
