When Samantha Rainford—newly wed to Douglas Cosmo Rainford III—returns home from her honeymoon to find divorce papers waiting, she’s shocked and heartbroken. Then she discovers that she’s not the first to be abandoned—she’s one of four (or maybe more) ex-Mrs. Rainfords—and decides it’s time to put into practice that old truism: don’t get mad, get even.
With the help of her longtime girlfriend Slick, a glamorous fashion model, Sam gathers together a highly unlikely team: Mrs. Kayla Rainford, an architect who moonlights as an exotic dancer; Mrs. Zoe Rainford, a plumber; and Mrs. Olivia Rainford, a former cheerleader and cartoon artist. Sam and Slick flunked out of FBI training school, but they still learned a few things there—like how to plan a mission. And the fivesome is determined to do whatever it takes to bring down Douglas Rainford III.
Whatever it takes means attending a top-secret private special-ops training camp in the North Carolina mountains, where Sam meets fiercely disciplined ex-CIA operative Kollar Havapopulas. Six feet three and handsome as a Greek god, “Pappy” is the best at what he does—transforming civilians into highly skilled fighting teams. What he’s less adept at, however, is telling a woman how he feels, and before long he discovers he’s developing some very warm feelings for Samantha Rainford—an attraction that seems fated to be a total disaster. Two personalities as strong as Sam and Pappy are sure to strike sparks, but will the fire that burns between them consume everything in its way?

" excellent book,I have a new author to read, way different types of books, love is always motive, but the story lines, so far, seem to be different and exciting "
— Leigh-Ann, 5/4/2011" Easy read. Not realistic, but fun anyway. "
— Veronica, 4/29/2011" Way too much fluff for my taste. "
— Elaine, 4/17/2011" I think this is my first Fern Michaels and it was pretty good. I liked the story and the romance wasn't too over the top for people that don't like a lot of mushhiness. Parts of the story were a little too far out but it was good enough that I'm going to listen to another book right away! "
— Andrea, 4/11/2011" I just couldn't finish this book. It was too fluff for me and implossible. A group of angry ex-wives ( same husband) become an elite government assasin team and kick some butt--Pleaseeeee. "
— Jennifer, 4/10/2011" just not my cup of tea, at all. "
— Megan, 2/7/2011" My first try of this popular author. It was really cute. Not something I could read all the time but a nice change to mix it up. "
— Suvi, 8/16/2010" i have never read a Fern Micheals book before.......this is the one I picked. I'm iffy right now on my thoughts. I'm almost half way, we shall see. Will edit my review when completed book. "
— Cindy, 5/2/2010" good. almost a 4. fun story and characters. a little far fetched but a lot of funny parts. "
