This was a quick read, but definitely wasn’t that exciting and was pretty predictable. I also felt there were some inconsistencies in the story that will hopefully be addressed before publication.
I’m sure many will enjoy this. I just would have liked to see more character and story development.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.

I have to start by saying that I love psychological thrillers and anything to do with housewives or trophy wives. This on grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go!

Three well off women in a fabulous San Francisco neighborhood with many secrets. This is a quick moving beach read with lots of twists and turns and a WOW ending that I didn’t see coming. The characters are not all that likeable but each is nice enough to keep you guessing as to which one is the most evil.

This was such a fun book. I figured out some of it but not all of it. They are not really likeable characters but that was all right. Wish I was drinking a mimosa while reading this. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

WOW! Absolutely loved this book! I very much enjoyed the trophy wives Georgia, Erin, and Brooke. I felt as though I was right there with them on Presidio Terrace. I literally could not put this book down. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next and Kristin Miller just kept on with the thrilling drama of these housewives. Such a fast and fun read!

This was a fun read!! Definitely didn’t see the end coming!! I didn’t particularly feel sympathy for any of these women, but it was fun to live vicariously for awhile.

Out July 20th!

If you're looking for a super quick read, this is a great choice! Definitely would categorize this as a good summer read for all you folks out there looking for something to read while posted up next to the pool.

This book gave me a combination of Desperate Housewives and Big Little Lies, both of which I love. The main characters weren't particularly likable (as you'll see in other reviews) but I think it worked. I'm not sure the intention was for them to be likable, but their characters were well developed and sassy.

There were some good twists throughout the story that left me surprised, and overall it was easy to get lost in this one and flip through 100 pages in no time. Would recommend!

So let me start this review off by saying thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC of #TheSinfulLivesofTrophyWives by Kristen Miller. This book was definitely a curve-ball! These are the kind of thrillers I love to read because you feel as if you got the whole thing figured out and then the author goes in a whole different storyline direction. I love the writing style used by Kristen Miller in this novel because it help with the easy flow of reading. About 3/4th of the way through I felt like the storyline was going to start to plateau but about the time I began to think about that.... BAM!! The ending of this novel will have your head spinning and your mind racing!! You should definitely have this on your 2021 New Release TBR!

The Sinful Live of Trophy Wives is a dark thriller sprinkled with comedy about three trophy wives — Brooke, a mystery writer; Erin, a television news anchor; and Georgia, a “Black Widow” (whose first two husbands died and who is getting ready to marry her third) — all of whom live in a super secure and wealthy enclave filled with mega mansions in the San Francisco area. (The area is so exclusive that it does not appear on Google maps!) The story, told from alternating perspectives of each of the three wives, eventually centers on the disappearance of Georgia’s fiancee Robert a few days before their wedding. Through the investigation and untangling of this mystery, the reader learns a great deal about the three wives, especially many of the secrets that each harbors from her past.

This novel is a perfect beach/vacation read, one that is entertaining from start to finish and has plenty of twists and turns, particularly in the last third of the book. True, most of the characters are pretty unlikeable — especially the men — but that did not distract me from turning the pages quickly to see what happened next. I think this novel would particularly appeal to fans of the tv series Desperate Housewives, but anyone who is ready for an intriguing thriller that is a quick read will enjoy this one.

If your summer is craving some twisty-turny WTF-ness this is the book for you!

I hated everyone in this book while rooting for them at the same time. It was a wild ride from start to finish and I applaud the author for keeping me on my toes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for an eARC copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Wow, what a ride!
This story follows the lives of three wives who are neighbors in San Francisco’s affluent Presidio Terrace. A slow unraveling of the secrets these “trophy wives” carry makes for quite the adventure!

I went into this expecting something along the lines of desperate housewives (it definitely has those vibes) but ended up impressed by the introspection of the characters and every new twist that was revealed. Miller did a fantastic job of threading plot twists through the end of the story. It was a fun and fast-paced read that I couldn’t put down!

Great for those who like to escape into a psychological suspense without excessively gory details.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House - Ballantine Books for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When I say this is a ride, I mean like the Indy 500, on the back of a bike with no helmet and one low tire. This shit is outrageously delicious perfection.

I am almost never shocked by twists, but this has me SHOOK to my core.

Just read it. Whatever you do, READ IT.

5/5 ✨ all day and all week.

I thought this book was a lot of fun. It centers on 3 friends in an exclusive Northern CA neighborhood; Brooke is new to the area, Erin is balancing a career and her husband's needs, and Georgia is getting ready to marry her 3rd husband after the 1st two died under mysterious circumstances. The chapters alternate between the POVs of these 3 characters.

The pacing of the book was fast and the short chapters kept me turning pages. While the characters aren't super relatable, I did find them to be somewhat likeable; they weren't as shallow or vapid as characters often are in books about the uber-rich "trophy wives". These characters had strong convictions and juicy secrets.

I do wish I would have gotten a little more background on the women, especially Erin- there is a little bit of background info but I felt like some details were missing. I also feel like the author alluded to further secrets between Brooke and her husband that never actually came to light. That being said, the secrets that were revealed fascinated me and also provided some twists I didn't see coming.

All in all, I enjoyed this book and found it to be a perfect beach read. Fast paced and juicy with an interesting plot. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. Brooke and her husband move into an exclusive neighborhood of millionaires. Her neighbor, Georgia is known as the "Black Widow" because her first two, extremely rich husbands died under suspicious circumstances. Georgia's fiancé disappears during their engagement party and it looks like she is guilty. Brooke wants to know if Georgia has anything to do with the deaths and disappearance or if she is truly innocent. Pretty good read though I figured it out. #thesinfullivesoftrophywives #kristinmiller #july2021

Even though the story was somewhat predictable, I couldn’t stop reading because Miller's writing style kept me holding on, wondering what the heck those vicious women will get themselves into!! I was hooked as soon as I read the opening: where Georgia was in the hospital, trying to remember pieces from the car accident! The trio of women at the center of this story are Georgia St. Claire, Erin King, and Brooke Davies, and they have no difficulty finding/causing drama. This book has Wisteria Lane vibes, served with a side of drama, divas, and murder. Even though it was a bit predictable, this story still held my attention enough to escape and enjoy!
Thank you, NetGalley!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Unfortunately I thought the book was very slow. At 40% in I gave up. I loved the idea of the book and thought it would be much juicier and twisty than it was.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kristin Miller for this E-ARC in exchange for my honest feedback and review.

Erin is a news anchor with an amazing husband. Georgia is a rich woman with some tragic luck in love. She is now engaged to the perfect man. Brooke is new to the neighborhood with her tech husband. When the 3 of these women get together we learn that happily ever after isn’t so happy.

I felt that the wrap up was a little too rushed. The twists were just bam all of a sudden all of them dumped at once. There was no ah ha moment where the plot connected to the twists. I still enjoyed this read and recommend it for a quick read.

Three women, three friends living in an upscale community with the rich in California. Erin a news reporter who is having a hard time at work. Waiting for her big story and is also the Homeowners President.. Decides to leave her job for a needed break to refuel wondering if her husband of nine years Mason is actually cheating on her.. Brooke the new kid on the block. An older husband who needs to know where she is all the time. She is also an author who at the present time is having writers block. Maybe a new home will get her going. Lastly we have Georgia St. Clair or shall we call her the Black Widow. Married two times both husband died months after the wedding.. Now her new fiance is missing days before their wedding.. Three friends with skeletons in their closets. Can one of them be a murderer?
The author Kristin Miller writes about three complex characters. Each women hiding something but why. We see how women are there for each other during the tragic events that unfold.. People from Georgia's past come back, Erin feels the network doesn't want her back or does she have to pay a high price for her big story. Then Brooke cannot seem to keep out of trouble while she is helping Georgia. Is she hiding something that would clear Georgia and try and help Erin while she is having a mini breakdown..
There are many questions to be answered , many are answered as you read. There are some real twists that lead to these three women's back stories and how they became who they are. The sacrifices they made along the way and why they had to take care of each other. You never know what goes on behind closed doors, especially of the rich and famous.
Thank you Kristen Miller for writing a story of three women who were there for each other in so many different ways. Each character was different from each other. I liked seeing each one evolve with every tragedy they faced. Thank you NewGalley for approving my wish list book. It was a combination of Desperate Housewives meet Law and Order. Would recommend this as an easy read,light and fluffy.

In the very best way, this novel reminded me of the Jackie Collins novels I used to steal from my mom growing up. In alternating chapters, we meet 3 women with great wealth and dark secrets. The novel rockets along nicely with whip-smart pacing and plenty of twists. While there isn't much in the way of deep characterization, the expertly built plot kept me on my toes all the way through until the satisfying ending. Ms. Miller has crafted pretty much the perfect beach read,

Thank you to #Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives by Kristin Miller

I want to thank Random House, Netgalley and the author for the advanced copy for an honest review.

Once introduced to the three main characters who live the life most of us dream of in the prestigious neighborhood of Presidio Terrace. Brooke is new to the hood, trying to fit in and keep her life together. She makes friends with Erin King, and Georgia the widow who has not had the best of luck with her two previous husbands. A real 'Real Housewives' kind of vibe.

Quick read with a ending that WoWs!

4 of 5 stars. Recommend.
