Publisher's summary

A spin-off from the number one Amazon best sellers A Not So Meet Cute and So Not Meant to Be and narrated by Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter, USA Today best-selling author Meghan Quinn brings you a heartwarming yet hilarious full-length novel on what life is like after the happily ever after.

Ryot Bisley is my husband. Yes, the former third baseman for the Chicago Rebels and absolute heartthrob of the Windy City. That Ryot Bisley.

The first time I ran into him, he was grumpy, a horrific host, and left me on his sofa with nothing but a nylon baseball flag to use as a blanket.

The second time, he reluctantly bought me dinner, stared at my chest the entire night, and still sported that permanent frown.

The third time.... Well, that was a game changer. His smile captured me, his teasing charmed me, and his touches excited me.

So when he was called up to the majors that didn’t stop us from knocking it out of the park and all the way down the aisle.

Eleven years later...I’d love to say we’re happy as ever, but the man who sent me dirty text messages every day is long gone and Mr. Frowny Face is back.

He’s so focused on trying to build a life after baseball that he doesn’t see the life we’ve already created together...so I make the hard decision and serve him divorce papers.

Problem is...my husband refuses to accept those papers. Instead, he has a new game plan that makes untying the knot of our marriage a little tricky. And just when I thought I wanted to be traded...he's slowly, tantalizingly roping me back in.

Great story but…

The main female character, Myla was difficult to like. She came across as a selfish, self-centered whiner who wanted everything to revolve around her. Loved Ryot but hated how he sometimes came across as weak as he groveled to Myla. It got old real quick hearing him apologize every 10 seconds and practically kiss her butt in Macy’s window. With that said, he was great when he fought back. And I thought his love for her was a bit obsessive. You could practically feel Ryot’s love for Myla but not so much her love for him. Kyla’s friends, Nicole wasn’t very likable either. Due to jealousy she tried to undermine Royt’s and Myla’s relationship before and after they were married. Loved the outstanding performance by Jason Clarke he has a very sensual voice. Didn’t much care for the valley-girl type voice that Stella Hunter used for Myla when the character was being witty, coy or vindictive. Anyway all of the supporting were good. I have to go back and read the two books that this one spinned off from. This is my first time reading this author and I’ll read more. I hope Ryots’ brother get a story of his own if one isn’t already floating around somewhere.

love the performance, the heroine was lame

The lead female was hard to like or understand, she basically throws in the towel without any preamble. for how much they are made out to love one another I just don't buy it. and Ryot just wanted to make the marriage work. I get he made mistakes but if she would have communicated it would have been a non-issue. it just was hard to believe especially since they essentially made Ryot out to be saint, albeit career driven. it was kind of irritating for him to take sole response. performance was 100%. I love Meghan Quinn and I look forward to future books with these characters. I loved the other books. The characters just weren't for me.

Enjoyable

There are things I really loved about this and things I didn’t, we’ll really one thing, kind of.

What I loved:
1. Loved the humor and steam, as I always do.
2. The MMC tried so hard to show how he loved her. Yes, he didn’t always do it right but he tried.
3. The idea that people don’t “see” their spouse anymore as marriages go on is accurate, and I think I really connected to that story and even the heroine.
4. I loved the moving from past to present. We were able to see them fall in love in the past even if we watched them falling apart and coming together in the present.


What I didn’t love:
1. Myla as a an adult was hard for me sometimes. I get she didn’t feel seen and she wanted him to see that, but when he was aware, he wanted to badly to fix it and she was just like no. It was really hard for me to reconcile that. He was unaware. I just kept thinking if this was me, and I truly didn’t know, I would be devastated that my spouse never said anything to me about fixing things. It’s a two way street and she never opened her mouth.
2. The best friend was a hard pass for me for most of the book, but then at the end. I just loved her.

There was so much to love about this book, I just didn’t overall connect with the heroines on this one. There are definitely things revealed near the end that make her more sympathetic, but there was just too many chapters of me being annoyed with her. I had a hard time relating to her.

The audiobook was really good though, and well done by the narrators.

Excellent spin off from the Cane Bros series!

I read all 3 Cane Bros books before finding this one. This is such a great spin off and I fell in love with the story of Ryot and Mila. It was exciting, heart wrenching, sensual, and everything else that goes along with those feelings. I really hope Meghan Quinn continues story lines with all of theee characters!!

Wow

Right from the start I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this book because of the subject matter. It really hurt reading this. Relationships are so fragile. I love this author. Oh and I know for a fact some of the spiciest scenes I ever read so far. This book is a 7 out of 5 spice. This story about a married couple and what can happen in a marriage was so truthful.

Emotional Roller Coaster

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciated the look into mental health and the toll it takes on our healthy relationships. It’s a heavy topic but the author managed to keep the story light with sprinkles of laughter.

Ryot deserved better!

This is the first time actually writing a review beyond a sentence. Myla was a selfish person. Ryot loved her. He had to retire because of an injury and went through a life changing event with bad statistics, bad arm, media scrutiny. His wife should have been supportive and understanding. Both should have communicated better. Myla should have been in ongoing counseling becausing she has issues. Ryot was a blessing to her and she did not realize it. I wish she would have disappeared and Ryot found a better woman for him. I wish the epilogue would have kept them separated and divorced with a second book with him finding a woman to appreciate him.
The narrators were perfect as usual.

Missing the MQ humor & Mila frustrated me!

SPOILER ALERT.....The narration was great, loved both as narrators. Meghan didn't add a few of her signature scenes that evoke historical laughter while listening and I understand were trying to highlight the trauma Mila faced growing up with her parents but we still could of added some signature humor.

Also Mila character annoyed me because she seemed like the woman who said... yes I have talked about our issues but you didn't listen so I am out but she actually didn't ever she just assumed he should automatically know, news alert no-one would have... she just expected him to know rather than truly voicing the root issue...as there was only one...selfishness. She never blatantly said...hey...you are not listening to me, ignoring me, leaving me by myself, moved me without a discussion.... she never said any of that until well after requesting the divorce which frustrated me. Also frustrated me how she was like I need to set these ridiculous ground rules but I don't need to follow them when Riot was so clearly following the rules she had set and he was trying to the point he should get a medal. Her past trauma and how she turtles in on herself was no excuse for saying I want a divorce in this instance after just a few months - try for counseling first.

The whole sequence of events burned me and made me team Riot. I also was furious with Riot bc yes he was wrong however he never neglected her to the point that it was not obvious he loved her more than life- Mila threatening neglect was not true neglect but just Riot over worked on a new start-up which is understandable and based on his character he would have modified had she actually said something rather than just played the... if you don't know you don't deserve me card. Again boils down to her character was overly selfish and his was a little too caving or ready to take the blame. I get why he didn't say why this new venture made him driven bc she is so childishly needy and easily upset over things she should be grateful.

The book obviously frustrated me, the flashbacks were helpful but also just emphasized that Mila never truly grew through their love otherwise she would have been straight forward with how she felt not played games and then get upset when those games backfired on her. If she truly had grown and healed, she would of actually had more strength. Basically should have said look I will always be damaged no matter how perfect you are as a husband and friend bc seriously Riot is the most perfect of all male characters in the bookeverse and this one small stretch of work distraction does not equate to all this drama that could have been avoided... 6hr too many but I made it to the end to be able to validate my frustration beginning to end.
