Publisher Description
Nationally best-selling author Mary Monroe penned the widely acclaimed novels God Don't Like Ugly (F0063) and God Still Don't Like Ugly (F0140). Chicago Sun-Times calls her "a remarkable talent." Red Light Wives is a sassy and scandalous novel of six women who engage in the world's oldest profession. They have something else in common too, their "manager," Clyde Brooks-a charismatic but hard man who fills many roles in each woman's life. But soon, an act of rebellion may change their relationship forever.

"I enjoyed this one because it tied in a little with her other two books but not too much that you would have had to have read the other two to understand what was happening."

Red Light Wives Listener Reviews

" Gave it two stars since I forced myself to finish. It dragged from beginning to end. It's the first book that I've read from Mary Monroe so I'm pretty skeptical about reading her other work now lol. Very depressing. "

" I shouldn't rate this book since I haven't finished it. The writing is terrible! I can't get through it. A co-worker recommended it to me and it had the bases of good story, but the author couldn't deliver. "
— Julia, 10/15/2012 -
" I love Mary Monroe's books. I can't believe these characters exsist even in a novel. It is like watching a train wreck, as the old saying goes. "

" I am not sure how this got on my "to read" list but I just can't finish it...slow story and not my thing. "
— Cher, 3/2/2012 -
" I basically just read this book to read it. It was alright, nothing too crazy or cool. Kinda stereotypical stuff, just the same old bullshit, I guess. Just upping my stats, ya know? "

" I liked it a lot. "
— Joy, 3/22/2011 -
" Six women with interconnecting lives -- a lot of drama and predictable scenarios but otherwise it held my attention. Contains a lot of characters which shows up in her later books. Should have read this one first. "
— Sharonbrown, 11/30/2010 -
" A bit better than Upper Room, but still not quite "there" for me. The story was okay but the characters never felt fully developed enough for me. "
— Tori, 8/2/2010 -
