Never read a book that focused an a poly relationship, so that was new. It kinda reminded me of that poly couple that went viral on Tik Tok live a few months ago. Lol.
One man, with four wives with different personalities. Each person had something going on, I just wish I got to see some growth in a few of the characters.
Hmm, what else..there were lots of spicy scenes.
One thing I didn’t like was that the two brothers frequently mentioned “punching her” “I’m gunna slap her” or “choke her out” that kind of annoyed me. They never did it but I rolled my eyes every time they said it.
This book was better than I expected… I need Part 2 RIGHT NOW‼️ I was invested from the beginning. I can’t wait to see how everything will play out in part 2. It was a good read.
so this book was different. my first poly book.. & it definitely opened my eyes to a whole new trope lol. to think that champ was in love with four different women in different ways was wild. almost understandable.. but idk chile. this book had its twists and turns but the ENDING?! such a surprise. i was also surprised that chevy went along with the marriage..... but i guess chile. off to book two!
Chaaallllllll !!! I don’t know Chall…. This is not a life for me but it’s interesting to read about. Sounds like Champion is that nigga but it’s a lot to juggle. The spiceeee — so many women lol so many options 😂
JaKarri needs to be slapped DOWN. Long time ago. Charisma is FOULLLLLL for what she doing. Brittany .. poor baby. Lol.
And then to drop a bomb like that at the end ?? Dollaaaaaa !!!!!! Lolol
Definitely reading book 2 now. I have to see how this ends. I lowkey think JaKarri is with the daddy. 😬 And he a foul MF for going missing like that too.
These characters already annoying. I ain’t gone lie I chose to read the book because of the cover. I was done when the male character addressed the readers, that’s soooo irritating. I kept reading a little further and I’m just over the angry black woman deal. Chevy was always mad like girl get over it ppl lose their jobs everyday. Move on and grow up. 🙄🙄🙄 more background on the wives and characters would have been nice. Maybe it comes later but i won’t find out. Over it already.
"I'll leave your house, Karri! Let me leave you with this, though. Don't call me when that nigga leaves you. Trust me, that shit is coming, and I'm going to laugh in your face. The audacity of you to talk to me like you done lost your fucking mind! The JaKarri I know would be kicking ass and taking names, not letting some nigga with a house full of bitches treat you like shit." She walked out of the room, and I was happy. My mother was wrong on all levels. The things that she was saying about Champ wasn't cool. I blame myself, though. I've let the shit go on for far too long. The worst thing I could have ever done was put my mother in my business. The biggest mistake women make is putting other people in their relationship, which opens up doors for people to talk shit and tell your business. Yeah, I learned I valuable lesson.
"You don't have to tell me. Look, put my number in your phone. We need to go out for lunch or something. I'm so glad I saw you today. Honestly, seeing you has so many memories flooding in my mind." "What are you thinking about? How we used to rob the fucking guests blind? Man, when Casanova found that shit out, he went crazy and fired our asses. Thank God for Champ giving us a second chance. Your luck was even better. You ended up marrying his ass. I'm gone be sure to catch up with you friend. I miss your crazy ass." We exchanged numbers and a quick hug before she walked away. For a minute, I stood in the hallway and thought back to my old life. The fucked-up life I had before Champ. I got a housekeeping job here at the hotel through a second chance program after getting out of prison. I was once a scheming, scamming-ass bitch.
That luck eventually ran out when I got hit with a five-year sentence. After three years, I was released. My parole officer got me a job at the Denali Hotel. That's when I met Jazzy. We clicked 'cause our asses were both criminals. We both were stealing shit from the hotel guests. It went on for about a year before Casanova figured out that we were the culprits. I thought he was going to kill our asses. Champ stepped in and gave us a second chance. The moment he did that, I knew he was built diff That luck eventually ran out when I got hit with a five-year sentence. After three years, I was released.

It went on for about a year before Casanova figured out that we were the culprits. I thought he was going to kill our asses. Champ stepped in and gave us a second chance. The moment he did that, I knew he was built differently.
"You and Chevy would both be dead if we didn't care. Now pack your shit. We have a flight to catch. Fix your face. I promise I'm going to make things right with us, but you have to give me a chance." "I'll go, but not for you. I'm going to see if I can talk some sense into my sister." Chevelle stomped away and continued to rant about the situation.
"Let's get some shit straight right now! I'm married to Champ, not you bitches! I'm not trying to be a part of this trio you all got going on. Honestly, the goal for me is to steer clear of this little setup you all have going on. Yeah, it's cute and all, but not my cup of tea. I guarantee you my marriage to him will be totally different and separate from yours."
It was obvious he had a lot on his plate with having to take care of his kids. That part was totally understandable. Their mother needs her ass whooped. What type of mother abandons her children without a care in the world? Her ratchet ass. I'm not surprised, though. JaKarri looked like the type that loses her mind behind some nigga. Nothing is worse than a mother who can't be a parent because she's on bad terms with the father. I do not condone domestic violence, but the bitch definitely needs a foot up her ass.
My legs became weak looking at the police officer who had a big ass gun pressed into Champ's chest. "Dolla! You're dead! This has got to be a dream!" My heart was beating so fast, and I had become dizzy as fuck. "Nah, Heavy Chevy. It's me. However, Dolla is who I used to be. These days, I go by Damoni! Did you miss me?" He smiled at me, and I passed out from shock.
You have to have an opened mind reading this book. Polygamy isn't for everybody. Although Casanova and Champion grew up in the lifestyle with their mother's and father. Casanova tried following what he was taught by his mother and father by having multiple wives but that wasn't his thing. His ex wife Jalah seemed to understand but his other ex wife Desire don't. I believe she's going to become a problem. Especially when she find out that Chevelle have Casanova heart in a chokehold and he only wants to be a one woman man. Champion feel like he have his three wives Charisma, Jakarri, and Britt under control. However Jakarri obsession with Champion and the jealousy she has towards the other wives is disturbing and unhealthy. She feels she is more important as the second wife because she Champion children. Jakarri have snake tendencies though and I have a strong feeling her and Champion father have something going on. I knew it wouldn't take long for Chevy to realized that Champion was the cause of her losing everything but he definitely made sure she was compensated once he explained and told her the truth. I already knew that Champion was also smitten with Chevy. Her becoming his fourth wife didn't go well when Charisma and Jakkari. Britt told Champion that she had a feeling that Jakarri was going to end up doing something and she was correct. Charisma feelings were hurt and she broke their contract not knowing Damoni isn't who she think he is. Him popping up at her house seemed weird. Something is off with Senior. Casanova and Champion realized with their father abruptly leaving their mother's and leaving without letting them know. That he was on some bs. They already witnessed him pulling a snake move behind their back. I have a feeling that whatever caused Senior sneaky ass to disappear. Is going to cause a lot of drama when he returns. The way this ended. Chevy realized grieving over a love she lost four years ago have arisen from the dead.
The Fourth Wife is a gripping, sexy multi-POV romance story that will have you feeling all types of emotions. It follows the complex lives of Chevy & Chevelle Cooper, Champion “Champ” and Casanova Denali, and Champ’s three wives, Charisma, JaKarri, and Brittany, and how deal with drama, trauma, and turmoil in their family.
I love how Mz Lady P chose her characters' names. This is my first time reading a book with Characters named after different Chevrolet models. I thought that was very different, and I’m a Chevy girl at heart.
Chevy Cooper is a bank manager at Fifth National Bank, a position she worked hard for only to be snatched away with quickness after a bank robbery. With no job and on the verge of homelessness, Chevy finds herself at wit's end. That‘s until her sister, Chevelle introduces her to a rich businessman named Champion, the reason why her life is in shambles. With promises of safety, a fat bank account, and a high-ceiling roof over her head, Chevy dives head-first into Champion’s crazy and complicated polyamorous world. I couldn’t even blame sis for saying yes to a deal like that but I thought she understood the terms & conditions. Whoops!
Living a polygamous lifestyle is a rich man’s sport and Champion Denali is the MVP. Champ is a successful entrepreneur, a good husband, and a great father but he is also the type of man you stay away from in real life because he can sell salt to a slug. Let me insert this quote as an example, "My biggest flex is being able to make a b—- submit to me and allow me to turn her the f—-out. I come with the guarantee that you'll never want to turn back after f——g with a champ like me." Chevy saw that as a challenge and accepted it. Poor girl thought she was playing with a rookie.
The different storylines with the other characters mashed well together. You get a chance to see how everybody felt about their own or mutual situations and babyyyy they were feeling some type of way, especially Jakari and Charisma. Brittany said, “I'm Team Champ!”
Chevelle and Casanova's side story gave me a glimpse of what his life is like after leaving the lifestyle he was born into.
I highly recommend this story to read. I’m telling you won’t be disappointed. You’re going to be rushing to read book 2 after finishing this one.
This book was decent and I would rate it a 3.5 star read. There were many plot twists and storylines that it was hard to keep up with lol. Polygamy is not my cup of tea but I loved how raw and honest the author was with it. Polygamy is real and it was cool seeing it in perspective. I was not really a fan of Ja’Karri (wife #2) or Chevy (wife #4). Chevy was too entitled, spoiled, selfish, and annoying. She came in thinking she was the stuff and I would really like for her to be humbled in the next book. Karri was psychotic, vindictive and jealous. They betta watch out for her because I feel that she is shady and up to no good. I feel as if she’ll even go as far as into trying to kill one of the other wives. My favorite wife was Brittany (wife #3). I just love how peaceful, calm and collected she is. Yes she’s naive but she’s also really sweet and was sheltered. Charisma (wife #1) was also cool. I loved her attitude and how she handled things. Yes I’m justifying her cheating on Champ. I mean she did what she had to do. Champ became way too comfortable with just picking women without running it by Charisma. Speaking of Champ, not really a big fan of him either. He has was too much on his plate and he’s not very good at juggling 4 wives.
Anyways I’m excited to see what happens in book 2, because book 1 ended on a major cliffhanger!
P.S I want Chevelle and Casanova to have their own book. I love their dynamic a lot more! They were funny, a little toxic but had a good relationship.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Throughout my avid and extensive journey of reading, I have had the pleasure of exploring numerous literary works that have left a lasting impression on me. Amongst this vast collection, there is a gem that undoubtedly stands out - a book that has proven to be a quintessential masterpiece in my ever-growing library. This particular piece of literature has managed to captivate my imagination with its compelling narrative, thought-provoking themes, and impeccable storytelling.
As an individual who devours books with an insatiable hunger, it is no small feat for a single book to rise above the rest and be recognized as one of the absolute best. However, this remarkable literary treasure has accomplished just that. It possesses an unparalleled brilliance that effortlessly transports the reader to a realm where words dance gracefully across the pages, weaving together to form a multi-dimensional tapestry of emotions, experiences, and ideas Upon delving into this captivating masterpiece, I was immediately enthralled by its intricate plotline and well-developed characters that seemed to come alive within the pages. The vivid descriptions and nuanced portrayal of their personalities lent an air of authenticity to their every action and thought, making it seem as though I had forged a personal connection with each and every one of them.
Well I’ll be damn the dead has arisen lol. That cliffhanger almost took me out because I definitely did not see that coming. Chevy first encounter with Champ was not the best. The second time they met things worked out a little better but eventually went to hell with all the drama surrounding them. Champ was intrigued with Chevy from the very beginning but of course he had a lot in his plate dealing with 3 wives. Adding Chevy to his list of wives to protect her made perfect sense but then all hell breaks loose because two of the wives had a problem with Chevy being added as a fourth wife. Things really took a turn for the worse when Chevy’s supposedly dead ex pops back into the picture and I can’t even imagine what his roll is in this whole situation. Mz Lady P baby you did your one with this book and I can’t wait for part 2 to drop!
Respectfully if I was Chevy when I see my ex boss again I would be on my Frankie ish “What’s the f#*king procedure when you got a gun in your hand “. To give your all to a job & be treated like dirt is hurtful asf especially when you have no control over the circumstances. I knew JaKarri was gonna be a problem. It’s one thing to be jealous but to do that to yours kids is wrong on all levels. Thats a woman scorned. & Senior missing too 🤔 yeahh something ain’t right with that. Brittany is too sweet. I just don’t like that she let people take advantage of her because of how nice she is. I love Casanova bm Jaylah lol. She a savage. I wanna see more of her. I like Chevelle too. She funny asf. Charisma hurt. I understand her but she also signed up for this. Champion foundation is crumbling like a mfer. That mfing cliffhanger 🤯 Mz. Lady P staying doing this ish. Sis run me part 2 please and thank you!
This was an interesting read on the poly lifestyle! I don’t know how accurate it is but it was a fun and funny read to me! The main character is Chevy but you get a perspective on just about all of the characters. It starts off with a band and ended with a bang! I gotta read part 2! Chevy is the 4th wife of Champ. Champ has 3 other wives when he meets her but that doesn’t stop him from falling for her. It’s easy to see why. His first wife was an arranged marriage. His second wife came about because she got pregnant and the third wife seemed to be arranged by the first wife so Chevy is truly the only wife he’s picked in my opinion which makes her special. They met under some extreme circumstances but it must’ve been faith. Chevy’s mom Corvette had me joked out! She was a piece of work and I was here for it! She gave it to her daughters and their men! This life definitely isn’t the life for me but Mz Lady P wrote it in a very interesting way and I’ll definitely be reading part 2.
OMG this book was very juicy . I really enjoyed it, I can't wait to start reading part 2. I love the way that champ loved on all three of his wives differently, until the fourth wife Chevy capri CA came in the picture. imagine to have a man and husband love on you in that way. I hated that jakarri left the kids by theirselves and didn't tell champ. I am ready to start part2 because I want to know what happened to Casanova and chevelle. I want to know what happen with champion, and was Jakarta ever found, they daddy, and did Chevy ever get the explanation from dolls about him lieing about being dead.
This was my introduction to the insider view to the polyamorous lifestyle. The circumstances that led to Karri being a wife diminished the title and obscured my opinion on Champ’s judgment. Karri’s snaky moves are consistent and why he needed to be warned about her, just triggered my side eye in his direction. The author built her character as being so smart yet loose lips aren’t a smart move and a demonstrated that any pressure causes her to sing. Her reliance of alcohol caused nauseam. Unfortunately, she did not live up to the pedal she was placed upon, in my opinion. You say you are the only then crumbles whenever arms aren't wrapped you. Trying to sound tough fighting below standard only lowers her to basic chick status.
This book has been good from start to end! I didn’t skim through the pages not once, I’ve been enthralled the entire time! I never liked Karri & I hope she gets the boot!! Champ is definitely my book bae, I love everything about him. I was so sad when Charisma did what she did because why boo? You were his #1 the glue that holds everything together! Brittany is so sweet but she needs to toughen up! My girl chevyyyy I love her I hope she does no wrong! Omg the Clift hanger is insane I wasn’t expecting that
This is about to get real not ex who's supposed to be dead this crazy as hell now gotta see what happens Jakarri leaves her kids and .. And now Charisma is about to find out the man she been with ain't who she thinks he is ok ..
Then you got Brittany yeah she's not really in love with Champ like she says it's only for what he can do for her looking for love so she would settle even if Champ just give her little of attention she will never be number 1 and she's kinda weak to me...
I can't wait to see what happens With Casanova and Chevelle ok...
🤦🏾♀️ if it ain’t Karri ratchet ahh acting a fool , it’s charisma green ahh segging Dolla supposed to be dead ahh , or Britt naive ahh , clearly he likes women who don’t have their own mind! Chevy ain’t no better, yeah she made the decision to marry him however she ain’t no better that the other three . Champ ahh clearly is getting to a place of being a one woman man because 2-4 is on some other bs and tbh I don’t think that baby Britt is having belongs to champ 🗣️ but I might be wrong lol! Btw I love their names corvette, Chevelle & Chevy , super cute 🥰
***This Is Not A Standalone Book*** I don’t understand why authors won’t show common courtesy to us readers by letting us know when a book isn’t a standalone book. I personally don’t like waiting months to find out what’s going to happen next and try to read complete series only. With that being said, this is really a good book and hopefully it won’t be months to see what happens next.
I'm really thinking Karri and Sr are messing around, I'm also thinking what if those kids are Sr's??? Now Charisma is in her rights to find something just for her. Cause first of polygamy may seem ideal on some levels but when feelings are involved somebody gonna have a problem sharing. I hate I have to wait on part 2. I usually read only completed series, ain't nobody got time to spend prison time waiting on the next book. But I guess I'll try 5o wait it out.
Good read! I still haven’t read a book yet where polygamy was successful lol. These polyamorous couples always have cheating issues too which seem crazy since they already have so many choices. I am curious to see what’s up with #2 and Sr! I’m really digging Chevy, her sister, and mama🩷
Mz. Lady P never disappoints. I hope Champ has a good lawyer, because he could beat this case. Especially, if the ceremonies were just ceremonial and not real. I bet the second wife is with Champ's father. What if Casanova is moma called the police on Champ!? The possibilities for part 2 are endless. I can't wait for part 2, I know it 's going to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hunty that ending just took me out. Charisma bout took look like a fool when she finds out this man was using her. Poor Chevy gone have to make a choice on what she wants cause babe things just got real. Now, Champ know that bitter wife Karri done set things in motion
1st wife - built the family foundation. 2nd wife - was a messy messy hoe and could be trusted. 3rd wife - easygoing and soft spoken. Once the foundation of these relationships was compromised. Champion began to feel the downfall. The ending was such a cliffhanger.
Listen, when I tell you I’m not into sharing my man. I’m not into sharing my man, however the way Champion made me feel reading this book had me wanting to be the fifth wife. His swag and the way he spoke to Chevy, taking care of her and protecting her had me feeling like I wanted to be down. WTF……….the cliff hanger has me mad af………what is going on……. I can’t believe this.
This book came with a warning & I definitely have to agree with the author. You will go through all the emotions. I appreciate all the small things like colored text & different fonts. This book had me locked in from the first page to the last! I am waiting IMPATIENTLY for Book 2 & I will definitely be buying this physically to add to my shelves.
The end of the book took me out!!! The fact that all these beautiful women openly sharing a man was a loop but as a woman we’ve all been there before at one time in our lives. The jealousy, plot twist, the 6 degrees of separation law, the irony. Mz. Lady P does this. I can’t wait for the sequel!!!
