July 8, 2026The Innocent Wife
Idk how to feel about this book tbh. If I were Maya, I don't think I could move on from what Reid did to her. For someone who claims to be good at his job, he surely messed up investigating the supposed "fraud" his wife got involved in. Then to make matters worse, he made her arrest a public spectacle when he could've just waited for her to finish her speech and done it in private. I was only reading, but I was horrified by how things went down. My introverted self wouldn't be able to handle that kind of attention.
The timeline is a bit confusing, and I'm not sure if Maya had been doing her charity works even before meeting Reid or after meeting him. He said he was insecure and couldn't believe that she, a woman out of his league, had chosen to be with him. So when her name got involved in a theft case, he just jumped to the worst conclusion: that she just used him and his knowledge about the IRS. This situation really didn't make sense to me at all. But the point is he let his insecurity get the best of him, and instead of believing his wife, he arrested and humiliated her in front of their community.
The people she helped over the years were awful too. I get that the arrest and charge were shocking, but no one even considered the possibility that Maya could be innocent. They all turned their backs on her and started to make hurtful comments about her, both in person and online. So much for being a community.
Anyway, Reid grovels in his own way, but idk, I guess I'm just not a forgiving person. He was able to clear her name, got the real thief arrested, and made the locals apologize to Maya for abandoning her.
Also, Maya's request to get pregnant while in an active investigation felt like it came out of nowhere. How could she even consider getting pregnant when she wasn't sure how the case would end? And Reid was more than happy to fulfill her wish, which made even less sense.
Another thing that I find bizarre is the fact that these two had been together for five years. I'm not sure how long they were married. But in all that time they never had sex without protection. The first time they did it was after Maya asked Reid to get her pregnant. Idk, it just seemed strange that they had waited so long to take such a step. I'm probably not just used to it. 🤷♀️
Overall, I'm really not sure how to feel about this book. I'm leaning towards the negative tbh. While the book didn't work for me, I'm sure it'll find its way to its intended audience.
Book info:
— FMC was wrongly accused
— Grovel
— Married couple
— No cheating, OM/OW
— Separation (unsure how long)
— HEA (she gave him another chance)
— Epilogue (they have a baby boy)

So, So boring
oh my god that was one of the most boring books i’ve read.
there was nothing romantic about it and Reid was 100% not redeemable.

He's an idiot. I'm surprised he didn't have a daisy to say, She's guilty. She's guilty not. She's guilty..."
She's a doormat of such exponential proportions it's hard to swallow. Insta- forgiveness to everyone that turned their back on her.
All I could think was HIRE A FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT, YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!

Two issues
I was really disappointed that we found another heroine that was completely shunned by an entire town, and the moment anyone apologizes, they're forgiven. They were ruining her entire life systematically, and she's just cool? Who would be okay with that and just instantly take back their supposed best friends and community after they all believed you were a thief and wanted you thrown in jail?
Secondly, I was VERY put-off by Maya declaring that she wanted him to knock her up *while they were separated* and basically offered him no promises. What kind of mature adult would purposely bring a child into a tense and miserable environment? It was almost cruel of her to ask for something so monumental and follow-up with, "This changes nothing else." I seriously disliked both main characters by the end.

This book was boring at times and I skimmed a lot. Both characters were just dumb. His excuse for arresting her was that she couldn’t possibly love him so she had to be getting close to him to commit fraud. I missed how her loving him (or lack of) meant he had to be the one who arrested her. Then he has an epiphany out of nowhere that she’s innocent and comes up with the guilty party with the most minimal of investigations. The grovel is Reid’s self-flagellation. And don’t even get me started on Maya wanting him to knock her up in the middle of all this. Ma’am. You’re looking at prison time. And you want to drag a child into that shitshow? The entire town shuns her in the most brutal manner and she still wants to live there?! Just no. If he’s an IRS investigator then I guess I understand why the tax code is fucked. He couldn’t investigate my ass if I threw it up in his face.

Sad to say this was painfully pitiful. Skimmed most of it to call it done and even then I struggled
July 8, 2026
Overall Opinion: meh. I give this 2.5 stars. Almost DNF’d around the 70% mark when she asks him to get her pregnant. I just couldn’t take it seriously after that.
Brief Summary of the Storyline: h runs a charity. H is an IRS fraud investigator. Her accountant steals from the charity and sets her up to get caught. Her husband who is investigating immediately suspects her and arrests her in front of the whole town. Leaves her in jail for the weekend then when she gets out he hands her a suitcase and slams the door in her face. Miraculously he sees the effort of what he’s done and works to get her back
POV: both H & h
Overall Pace of Story: slow and long
Instalove: no
H rating: 1/5 I mean he arrested his wife in front of the whole town. The reason? Because she was too good to be true. He needed her to be evil because that made more sense to him
h rating: 0.5/5 she took him back and asked him to get her pregnant (not in that order) because by golly she deserves happiness too and if that happiness involves a man who put his career in front of her, didn’t think twice about shaming her and then made her homeless, well then who am I to judge?
Sadness level: 3/5 I mean she took the a$$hole back. That made me sad
Push/Pull: no
Grovel Level: 1.5/5 ( definitely didn’t fit the crime IMO)
Heat level: 🌶️
Descriptive sex: yes
OW/OM drama: No
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No
Separation: Yes for about 2 seconds
Possible Triggers:
Closure: They ended up together so…..yes
3rd Act Breakup: No
- Does Not have cheating
- Does Not have a descriptive sex scene with OW/OM
- Does Not have the h and H pushing away
- Does have a separation between the h and H
- Does Not have OTT sad parts
- Does have a HEA ending with OC

Was super excited to read this book because the premise is perfect. However, she’s a doormat throughout and expresses no rage at anyone for her false arrest, her shunning by the town and all the rest of it. On top of it her main sadness is that the husband will always choose his job over her. He arrested you and destroyed your life, dumbass.
July 8, 2026
1.5 stars
I mean I got what I expected, sort of. A MMC that made me angry and a FMC that was a doormat but of course the most perfect person on earth. This wasn't a romance, I didn't want a HEA for the characters, the happy end didn't feel like a happy end. She should've left the community and her husband. I like second chance romances but this wasn't it.

Notes for me
Reid - forensic accountant with IRS. Very by the book
Maya - runs a charity to install things like ramps to make places more accessible. She started it after her brother Owen was paralyzed in an accident.
Maya has applied to have her charity acquired. That way other people will deal with the paperwork and finances. She can focus on the installations.
Reid’s college friend Julian currently helps with charity finances. He’s very flashy and handsome. Reid wonders why Maya chose him.
Reid tells Julian about the acquisition and he seems surprised. Next thing you know Julian has found discrepancies in the charity finances.
In the day of the biggest fundraising race, Reid shows up late. She’s on stage welcoming everyone. He doesn’t smile at her. Walks right up and arrests her in front of everyone. People are convinced she is a thief.
Reid won’t look at her or talk to her. He is 💯 convinced she’s guilty. He believes he married a lying thief. His coworkers try and talk sense into him. Owen does as well. Surprisingly Reid pays for a lawyer. However he doesn’t regret arresting her at all.
It’s no surprise who is behind it.
I usually like betrayal no cheating stories, but here’s just no coming back from that.

All my stars are for the one session he had with the therapist... that was hilarious.

My brain hurts trying to read this awful writing.
July 11, 2026
Oh Reid…
I understand why some of the other reviews were less than thrilled with this book. However, we don’t necessarily read books for how realistic they are. We read them for entertainment. And this one was entertaining. Reid reminded me of Javert from Les Miserables in that he upholds the law above all. I felt like he redeemed himself through actions (much like Dean from The Humiliated Wife) rather than groveling and I thought it was believable. It was a solid 4 stars for me.
Where it fell a little short for me (includes spoilers!):
- Maya’s forgiveness spanned over weeks and then she decided she wanted a baby. It felt a bit rushed. To be so badly betrayed and humiliated like that, there is no way she should’ve been thinking about a baby that quickly, regardless of how much he was working to right his wrongs.
- Jenny & Owen… to me, they were just there. No big character development. Owen was a total a$$ and while he did apologize, they were all of a sudden together. I’d love to see their story as a novella.
- The community. So quick to believe she was a thieving rotten human, then so quick to say “I knew you couldn’t have done it”. She needed to be angrier at them and they needed to grovel more than just an apology.
Overall I enjoyed it!

Dnf - read to chapter 20.
My least favourite book by the author. I felt like the writing had actually gotten worse. So repetitive and too drawn out. The pacing and format was just awful, ‘bitty’ and all over the place.
The below is a quote:
~ The bell chimed again as she stepped out. The cold air met her face.
She had done nothing wrong.
She lifted her chin slightly, adjusted her grip on the flowers, and started walking.
Her steps were steady. Her posture was straight.
The flowers were slightly crushed where she had tightened her grip without realizing.
She looked down at them.
I have not done anything wrong, she thought.~

This is from the blurb, and it makes us think that this man grovels to get his wife back, but getting her back, was actually the easiest because she was spineless.
I wouldn't even consider what he did as grovel. the only thing he did was clear her name because he was the one that falsely accused her in the first place and started a witch hunt on her so reversing what he did was not grovel, It's the bare minimum.
This man arrested her falsely, put a witch hunt on her back, publicly shunned her, kicked her out of their home with nowhere to go, cut off her access to their money. she was basically homeless, broke with people out to get her BECAUSE OF HIM and his incompetence and inability to do his job and in the end she just takes him back easy?

I was originally going to rate this a 3.5 Stars, but I'm going to round it up. This poor story is getting raked hard right now, but I enjoyed it. For me, this story read exactly like an older Harlequin type of story, with the Hero believing lies and misjudging his heroine to the point of destroying her and kicking her out (and leaving her broke and destitute). Fortunately for me, I LOVED those "cruel Hero shitting all over his heroine until he pulls his head out of his ass" HR stories. And all of her friends and people she worked with turning on her too, was just icing on the cake. I enjoyed this story quite a bit, but I do admit it really started to drag through the second half. I think this story could have been a lot shorter and had the same desired effect.
July 9, 2026
Maybe a little too long?
I couldn’t connect with either of them
He was completely in love with her, he is so in love at the beginning of the book and in almost one conversation with his boss he arrest her… I couldn’t understand anything
Then in one instant, after letting her in a cell and in the streets he saw the light and realized she is innocent
Even my husband who is a little idio…😆 would defend me!!! Everything is a bit extreme
There’s grovel and there’s a lot of efforts and sacrifices from him but honestly it was really hard to redeem him
Anyway, if you enjoy big betrayal without cheating this is your series
I will read the next one!!!

1.5 ⭐️
The premise of the story is interesting but the execution is a huge letdown. It’s silly and seems to have been written by a twelve year old girl who has no idea about how the world works. And don’t get me started on the two doltish MCs. They’re one-dimensional caricatures of real adults and huge dumbasses.
The MMC is pathetic asf, but I truly disliked the portrayal of the FMC. She’s so clueless and passive about what’s happening to her that it almost feels as if though she has an intellectual disability. She’s supposed to be kind and altruistic but just comes across as being a clueless doormat who’s TSTL.
What a disappointing read.

Big mistake romance
Maya and Reid are happily married. She’s the bubbly, outgoing partner and he’s the quiet and stoic IRS agent. When someone shows him some problems with Maya’s charity, Reid’s investigation leads him to arrest his wife, handcuff her, and leave her in a jail for 3 days. Too late he realizes his mistake and has to work to win back his wife.
At times, the story was slow and repetitive. And Reid is a weak character. Maya’s resistance and stubborn since of self reliance makes her a great character.

So many things didn’t work for me with this book. The grovel was weak for the crime (IMO), the introspection was boring and repetitive, and the whole “wanting his baby” thing was just ick. I guess I’m not a forgiving person because I wouldn’t forgive him or the townspeople. And the speed at which she took back her supposed best friend after the way she treated her was pathetic. A shame because The Humiliated Wife by the same author was one of my favourites.
July 8, 2026
Another great story!
He couldn't believe that she really loved him and so when a lie was manufactured he believed the lie and destroyed his wife and their marriage as well ever life. Uncovering the truth and trying to make amends to keep her from imprisonment was impossible.

Good
The narrative of the book was original and well written, however there was so much repetition of the same words and feelings that I ended up bored and skimmed through till the end.
Normally really enjoy books by this author this book could have been half the size.

I'm shocked to say this was painfully bad.
I normally like Elise Camden books, this one was bad from start to finish.
The couple lacked chemistry and the story was way to drawn out. A decent lawyer and forensic accountant could have resolved the issue in 50 pages.

I loved the book "Humiliated wife" by the author and definitely had my expectations high - but this book failed me. I was not able to connect with the characters out break - groveling. Over a point of time - it just felt repetitive.
July 9, 2026
By far the worst effort by the author.
Grovel = the H arrests his wife on false charges (he doesn't know they are false at the time). Incredibly unrealistic. The H then figures out he was an idiot and now must grovel. So, yeah, there's a grovel, but the premise is just so out there.

I enjoy how the author explores different types of betrayal. This book had a unique plot and way Maya was betrayed by her husband. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this book as much as her other work. I can't explain exactly why, but the heart of the book was missing.
2.5 stars rounded up.

Love Elise Camdens writing. Really pulls you into the story and lets you become immersed in the feelings of all the characters.
