My Almost Ex {a review}

 


If you know me, then you know that, at the start of the event that changed 2020, I discovered a series called The Baileys. It is by the writing duo Piper Rayne. Each book in the series follows a different sibling. All of them were amazing. There are also some bonus books where the whole crew is together, and those were just magical. Also, Grandma Dori is a hoot, oh how I love that lady. (Yes, I love a fictional character.)

About the time The Baileys was wrapping up, Piper Rayne announced a spin off called The Greenes. This is Ethel's family. Ethel is one of Dori's side kicks, and together they always bring a good time. I have read the novella My Twist of Fortune, and loved it. I have read My Beautiful Neighbor, and freaking adored it. Well now, now it is time for My Almost Ex.

My Almost Ex was teased at the end of My Beautiful Neighbor. So if you've read that book, then you know that Lucy suddenly appears at the brewery. We find out that Lucy is dealing with amnesia, and doesn't remember leaving Adam. Lucy fully believes they are still happily married. Well technically they are still married, they just aren't together.

This book is all about Adam and Lucy's journey toward reconnecting. Now obviously while that is the primary focus, we also have Lucy's amnesia to focus on, as well as her Mom. Lucy's Mom is clearly hiding something, and there is a reason she didn't want her daughter to return to town.

I read My Almost Ex in one day. It was so good, and I could not put it down. I want to tell you things I specifically enjoyed, but that has the potential to ruin the story for you. So all I will tell you is that you'll get your HEA. You'll also find out why Lucy left Adam. Oh, I can also tell you that the next book, My Vegas Groom, gets set up, and we know which family member's story is getting told next. WOO HOO. Is it May 18 yet?

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,


Please scroll down a bit further to read the teaser for My Almost Ex. I've also included a link to add it to your "want to read" list on Goodreads, as well as a purchase link for Amazon. Oh, I have all the socials for Piper Rayne as well. Can't forget that!



In the middle of a crowded bar in our small Alaskan town, my estranged wife snuggles up to me as if we’re still a happy couple.

Don’t get me wrong, we were a happy couple—before she walked out on me a year ago. We were the high school sweethearts everyone thought were destined to be together forever. We thought so too, which is why we married shortly after graduation.

We had a good marriage. Until she left me without any real explanation. 

Now, she’s back—and this is the real kicker—she has amnesia and thinks I’m still her husband. Technically I am, although the divorce papers are sitting at the lawyer’s office. 

She’s desperate to remember her life in Sunrise Bay but I only want to find out why she left me. Once we conjure that memory up, it’s sayonara because there’s no second chances here. But as you probably already figured out, things didn’t go quite as I planned.
