The Aftermath

My Woman His Wife #2

by Anna J.

If you thought having a threesome could wreak havoc on a relationship, Monica from My Woman His Wife is back to show you why even the mere thought of a menage a trios with your spouse and an outsider should never enter your imagination.
It's been three months since the Cinque household has been turned upside down by a sexual tryst gone terribly wrong. Although Jasmine and James are making moves to put their broken home and broken hearts back together, past lies and a lack of trust make it almost impossible to salvage what once was sacred. It's even harder when with a conniving woman like Monica throwing salt in the wounds from the sidelines because she still hasn't gotten what she wants.
Old family secrets are revealed and half truths are exposed as marriage vows are put to the test, painful memories are relived, and revenge is at the top of everyone's list. Drama, betrayal, and lust are all found on the pages of The Aftermath- when once just isn't enough.

Great series..and the drama,the triangle and twist continues in this interesting threesome...recommend but you have to read 'My Woman His Wife' first to know the whole story..(paperback!)

1st read 4 ⭐
Monica goes at it again. But, this time around The Aftermath let us readers in on Monica's pass. I was feeling a little bit sorry for her due to how she had to live with her uncle that was having sex with her.

Monica was on a roll to braking up Jazz and James. Jazz and James worked hard on getting there family back together again but, before they got back together they did there last 3somes with other people.

Tanya wasn't still too happy with what Monica did to her so she sat out to get back at Monica any way she could. Also Carlos he was Rico's side man also wanted some information about Monica and wonder if she had something to do with Rico ending up in jail.

Monica still up to her old tricks set out at the end to end Jazz and James marriage anyway she could by even telling Jazz secret that James didn't know. But, they still working it out after Monica decided to pick up and leave.

What I don't get is that the book closed without closure of some other people that I still wanted answers to so make me wonder if there will be a part 3 to this aftermath.

This book wasn't nearly as good as the original, My woman His wife. The scenes in the book were juicy but they had a lot of extra stuff that I wasn't too concerned about and seemed irrelevant. Such as the character Carlos and Monica's sister YoYo. I practically skipped through their scenes because it was so stupid. The book went on like something really big was going to happen to Monica and at the end I was like, "that's it?" I was upset with one of the main characters Jasmine b/c you would think after catching her husband getting it on with another woman, on their kitchen table, while their kids were asleep upstairs, and with no protection, she wouldn't have taken him back. She did and it turned me off from the book. Then after all the havoc Monica caused on their marriage Jasmine still continued to sleep with her! It leaves a lot of things unanswered from the first book but I would still recommend anyone that has read the first book to read it. It gives somewhat of a closure but still leaves the book open ended.

Where do I begin to even comment on this Monica chick...The drama is so crazyyy.. It's on to part 3...

[Lois · Rating 3 out of 5]

Juicy but more complicated and lots of DV & SA trauma

[Mika Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow. Monica is a trip. I knew there was no way she was going to leave that easily without spilling all the tea about Jasmine. Guess I’m going straight to the last book. I need to see what will transpire in the end.

[Dee’s Cozy Corner Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Omg. More drama. Love it.

Listened via Audible plus

Damn things with this villain are complicated.

[KayBee's Bookshelf · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to this via Audible. Monica continued to live in her own world without any care or worry as to how her actions. One of her victims thinks they've gotten away only to be pulled back into her web of drama. It was revealed the reason for Monica's distrust of people and the reason she resorted to blackmail to get things done. What wasn't clear was why people still had a soft spot for her and her manipulations. The story moved along quickly and just when you thought you couldn't take anymore, you were hit with more shenanigans from this cast of characters. The narrator and audio production were both good quality. If you like drama, you'll love this series. I don't believe book three is on Audible, so you'll have to use your eyes for the next installment.

Aftermath

Although there was a lot going on in this sequel, not as much emphasis was placed on James & Jazz who were key characters in My Woman, His Wife. I thought great detail was given to Monica's younger years & what led her to become a deranged nut & her actions towards others. The additional characters did bring some excitement to the storyline & made this a good read.

[Lena♥(Nothing Like Your Last,Im Your Present) Lakeisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is soooo good. Very interesting and definetely a page turner! That Monica was something serios.literally lol! She was all over the place.

[Jordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not really liking this series. I mean it's keeping my attention enough for me to finish, but these people are getting on my fucking nerves. The narrator might actually have something to do with it. I had to stop listening to Deadly Reigns because of her. I understand a few stumbles here and there, but this chick is supposed to be a professional. Anyway...

I really hate how Monica has done all this fuck shit to everyone, but everyone except Tanya has to control their bodily responses to her. Yall so fuckin hard up that as soon as you see her you remember what she does to your genitals and start struggling with how to handle her? That's ridiculous to me.

I also didn't care about her backstory. She was being molested by her brother and her stepfather and her uncle, then got gang raped by the boy she was crushing on and his friends, and was bullied by the girls in school and vowed to make every man in the world pay for her pain. That shit didn't make me feel any more connected to that character. She's a snake and everyone knows it, but she just fucks everyone so good they can't stay away. The annoying thing is that this backstory was supposed to endear the reader to Monica, or at least make her more relatable and understandable. Maybe it did for some. But the characters in this book who have to deal with her don't know any of this shit. So I don't see why they have this soft spot for her, and her sex or the fact that she makes a sad face sometimes and "seems" more vulnerable then she tries to put off ain't enough for me.

Also, I didn't like ALL the many POV's.

Now with all that said, I did finish and I'm about to read the third one. That one was released 6 years after this one. Maybe there was some evolution.

These characters are crazy. Some of the people are in healthy relationships, and they want to add people into their marriage. That does not seem to work. This book contains sexual violence, abuse, and unhealthy relationships. This is the second book in the series, and it follows the first book. You don’t have to read the first book in order to read this one, but it helps.

[Diamontae · Rating 5 out of 5]

This Book Is Just Too Crazy. Lots Of Twists And Turns. I’m Glad We Got Monica’s Back Story It Tells Us Why She Is The Way She Is. But I Bet The Cinque Family Wish They Never Got Involved With Monica Crazy Ass. And Now Jasmine Plot For Revenge May Fuck Her In The Long Run.

[Danielle Vaughan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jasmine and James are ridiculous. They brought this drama on themselves. And why keeping sleeping with the devil. I don’t feel sorry for them. Everyone allowed Monica to manipulate them. And to give up your child was crazy.

[Janelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Soooooo this thrupple gets crazier by the moment! This gets in depth as to why Monica's ass is crazy AF! Loved part 2!

I love how juicy it is but the narrator, no, just no. It still sounds like she doesn't care and is reading way too fast. 2.5 stars.

This book was good but not as good as the first one.

[Chakera Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book , I kinda wanted something bad to happen monica but I guessed she had enough bad happen to her. Still a great book tho!!

[Kim Thebwordpoet · Rating 4 out of 5]

"The Aftermath is about what happens in the lives of James, Jasmine, and Monica after My Woman, His Wife ended."

“I'm split on this book. This book almost seemed like a prequel instead of sequel to "My Woman, His Wife." It made me like Monica more because I identified with her character and why she was the way she was. I actually felt bad that she never got Jasmine, but at least they kept getting together.

I was also glad that Monica moved away from there with her sister. She went through too much pain. She deserved a fresh start. I was sad she gave up her baby, but it wasn't conceived in love. She didn't even want the baby!

However, this book didn't have enough lesbian sex for me. It was too much straight sex. And the plot became more and more confusing and too many loose ends were occurring. What happened with Sheila? What happened with that tape Monica had? What did Jasmine think about the tape? Were those twins really James' children? Did Jasmine ever find out about the strippers? How did that guy REALLY die? Does Monica ever find happiness with a deserving Queen? Monica had a brother?!?

The book was interesting read...I'm still undecided if it was good or bad."
