Download The Good Woman Audiobook

" Spoilers. Meg Roberts is used to having everything under control--her job, her three kids, her marriage, her family. She is the ultra-responsible oldest sister who never lets herself be anything more than totally prepared. In her role as a winery publicist, she has excelled, and has never let her think of her hot boss Chad as anything more than her boss, appreciating his good looks from afar, until she confides in him while on a business trip. Soon the gap between the intimacy she once shared with her husband and what she could and does want becomes more and more glaring, and she doesn't so much decide to have an affair as let herself get swept away by Chad's charisma. She leads a double life while trying to ask herself the bigger questions, while also grappling with her mother's cancer and her sisters' expectations of her, trying to still be a "good" wife and mother while following her heart. Porter deftly portrays this dilemma and especially Meg's feelings of guilt and estrangement from her husband. This is a bittersweet story because ultimately Meg is presented with two choices with no truly ideal outcome, but by stepping out of her comfort zone she has to both confront issues from her past that have haunted her, and ask herself what she wants out of life. There's a very telling scene where her father tells her that she's always been the one to put pressure on herself to be perfect, even as a toddler, that truly shows what Porter does best. An excellent read (prepare to get sucked into the story and not put it down until you're done), and I will definitely be reading the next book in the series, The Good Daughter. "

" This is by far the best Jane Porter story I have read...I love them all but this one takes you through every emotion and sucks you in! Couldn't stop reading! "

" Jane Porter does a really good job at not only making her reader invested in the main characters storyline, but all the other women as well! I can't wait to find out what happens to Kit, Brianna, Cass and Marilyn (the mom). "

" Great book, predictable ending you know there will be another book. "

" Fast-paced and a fun read, but the core story lacked believability and logic. Meg's character flaws were too in-your-face and spelled out to come across as realistic. I was left feeling unsettled about her choices and knowing she would feel that way too. "

" Not great, but enjoyable enough for a light, quick read. I liked that it was set in Napa, San Francisco and Capatola. "

" This was an amazing story! I have read all of Jane's books and this is my favorite!!!! Can't wait to read more about these sisters:-) "

" Did not like the ending. What a bleak future... I felt the entire family's story could have been developed better. "

" I truly enjoyed this book in the new series by Jane Porter. Eagerly looking forward to the next installment. "

" Romance, sisters, California, contemporary. Chick lit. "

" Love love love Jane Porter! I think it's because I can relate so well to her stories. I don't think I'd like her as much wehn I was 25, lol. "

" I enjoyed this book... But felt the ending was rushed. I would have liked a more extensive conclusion. I'm hoping we will see more if these characters in the sequel... "

" I can't even explain why I wasted my time, even listening to it, it's terrible. "

" Loved the characters. Really felt for Meg & her dilema. Makes you appreciate what you have. "

" I really enjoy this series and can't wait for The Good Wife to come out this Fall. It will be about Sarah. I wonder if she will keep it a trilogy or write about Brianna or Cass. Not sure I'd want to read that one. "

" Great read... found myself lost within the pages. "

" I would give it 35 stars. It was interesting enough to make me want to read the rest of the series when available. "

" I am a huge Jane Porter fan. I look forward to reading more about The Brennan Sisters. "
