Book Review: Millionaire Wives Club - Tu-Shonda Whitaker

6273339
In Tu-Shonda L. Whitaker's steamiest novel yet, we meed the four deliciously dramatic, designer-clad divas from prime time's new hit reality show, The Millionaire Wives Club.

Evan:  Married to a pro-football star who isn't in love with her anymore, Evan is digging her freshly manicured nails in ever deeper as she fights to keep her husband who loves someone else.

Milan:  Half Dominican, half black, and beautifully exotic-looking, Milan is watching her has-been husband's fortune fade fast--while her romantic attachment to Evan's husband is heating up.

Jaise:  Divorce from a former boxing star who's now married to a white woman, Jaise is trying to raise her sixteen-year-old son on her own.  Will her huge alimony checks keep her from falling in love?

Chaunci:  Editor of the hottest black women's magazine, Chaunci is now engaged to the high-powered man who helped finance her magazine when she was just a struggling single mom.  But when a onetime passionate flame reignites, Chaunci may not be able to resist its charms.

When thses starlets' private lives run as wild as their emotions, their relationships with one another inevitably turn into high-profile cat-fights.  Through it all, the cameras never stop rolling on TV's guiltiest pleasures, where power-and diamonds-are always a girl's best friend.

3/5 stars (liked it)
This book is better than any soap opera I could watch on TV.  We get a first hand look at each woman and their lives behind closed doors are not what they appear on camera.  The camera crew are just as good as the women, Carl the camera man and Bridget the Producer both add into the drama.  Some things in the book really had me guess.  The twist on Jaise's love interest really surprised me.  The ending to the love triangle between Kendu, Evan and Milan was surprising.  Overall a fun book to read and I will definitely read more in the series.
