About this ebook

Roni

After I suddenly lose my husband, Patrick, in a senseless shooting, I’m lost in a sea of well-meaning people trying to make the unimaginable seem possible. How am I supposed to go on without the man who's been at the center of my life for nearly a decade? My friends and family do what they can for me, but I quickly realize that surviving this loss is going to be on me. One day to the next, I have to make the decision to go on, but life isn’t done throwing me ringers, and just when I think I’ve got this young widow game figured out, I find out how wrong I am. When a friend of my sister’s connects me to the Wild Widows, I find a group of fellow travelers who understand my new reality in a way no one else in my life ever could. The Wild Widows have one requirement for membership to their group—I must be open to the possibility of a Chapter 2, which is what they call a second chance at love. While I’m not in any way looking for or ready for a Chapter 2, if I’ve learned anything it’s that I’m not in control of where this journey will take me.

 

Come along as Roni and the other Wild Widows navigate their new realities with grace, humor and compassion. They will make you laugh and cry and root for each and every one of them in this exciting, heartfelt new series from New York Times bestselling author Marie Force.

Marie Force has done it again. Long a fan of her books, I jumped at the chance to read SOMEONE LIKE YOU, the first book in Marie's new Wild Widows series, and am I glad that I did. Marie has given readers a new group of characters to meet and love, with stories that pull at the heartstrings. Full of every emotion, Roni's story is both unimaginable and redemptive, and I know, after having met the Wild Widows, that I am going to love every single journey that Marie weaves for them. 4.5 emotional, angsty, heartwarming stars, this is a read that fans of Marie's books will not want to miss. Seriously, grab this book. You'll be hooked, and, like me, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this already favorite new series. ❤️

I knew going onto this story it was going to be heartbreaking and hopefully joyful to. “It’s an official group?” “Yep. We call ourselves the Wild Widows.” The name makes me laugh. “Okay…” I’m trying to be very careful in what I say here I don’t want to spoil anything. If I could I’d give it all the stars I would that’s how excellent this story is. It will give you all the feels sad , happy , angry I could go on and on. “We have one rule, and that is everyone who joins us has to be open to the idea of what we call a Chapter 2, or a second chance at love. The hero is the most compassionate patient swoon worthy perfect man she could have picked. “The beautiful thing is that we’re allowed to be forever in love with the people we lost, and we’re allowed to entertain the possibility of new people in our lives, too. We get cameos from our favorites first family. This is a beautifully written story about love lost and found again. Get It Now!!

Wow, I really don't know what else to say. This story is incredibly touching, at times tough to read, and it really makes you think. But OMG did I love and devour it, not only because it features three of my favourite characters EVER! But because it was just so beautifully written and heartfelt and I'll be honest, it's been sitting on my Kindle since its release but I wasn't sure I was ready to read it, and now I can't believe I waited even though at times Roni's journey to her chapter two almost tore my heart out. Yet seriously, it is a fantastic story and possibly the best Ms Force has ever written and I can't wait to read more from these incredible resilient wild widows in the future. Would highly recommend.
