Carla Kovach is one of my go-to authors. When a new book of her is on Netgalley, I will be requesting.

My Husband’s Wife is set to be released on the 8th of September and is a standalone novel.

Eva is about to move to a whole new town, a new beginning with her son Caiden and her new husband Zach. It is hard to move away since she’ll leave her mother behind and the memories of her late husband Hugo, who’d died by suicide 5 years prior.

Eva is a wedding planner and she already has a new job in her town. Her son Caiden already has a school friend named Aaron, and Aaron’s mom Nicole is easy to get along with. Life seems good until a new couple come in for a booking. The soon to be married couple look lovely but the man looks like an exact replica of her late husband Hugo. Eva’s actually quite sure it is Hugo; it has to be.

Going through hell and high water to figure out what actually happened 5 years ago and how Theo is Hugo, there are a lot of things going on. With manic depression in her back pocket no one really believes Eva, not even her own mum.

Madison is Theo’s Fiancé and they have a baby together named Emily. Madison is head over heels in love with Theo but after her appointment with the wedding planner something seems off. Why did she call him Hugo? Why is Theo so secretive all of a sudden? Some phone calls he’s making end in death threats when he thinks she isn’t listening. Theo is actually a master manipulator letting Madison think she’s losing her mind and trying to keep her away from family and friends.

Will the wedding actually happen or will Madison have an eye-opening moment and call the whole thing off? And, is Theo actually Hugo? What’s going on there?

The first halve of the story is in Eva’s POV, then we switch to Madison’s POV; while the story makes more sense after reading her POV, some things you already know through Eva’s POV, which makes reading Madison’s POV a bit more boring.

The end was really good though, I kind of did see some things coming but not all of it.

It’s a ⭐⭐⭐⭐star read for me.
