A Woman Scorned #1
The Wife - Alicia, Book One.
Once I had the world at my feet, but I made a mistake and chose a man. Fourteen years we were together; I gave him everything. I thought we had the best life, but I was wrong. But for darling Oliver, it wasn’t enough. He wanted more than me, the perfect housewife; he wanted Eve, his secretary. And Eve knows exactly what she money, status, and my life.
My life turned from perfect to hell in the blink of an eye. Eve’s not above playing dirty games to tear me down, and my husband protects and believes her. I’m accused of many crimes, from theft to hurting Eve, and nothing I say makes a difference, and I become the victim. I’m the star in one of those bad drama reels that are all over social media. Bullied, belittled, and unloved.
Oliver and Eve walk all over me, and I let them until I remember who I used to be. Alicia Rosewood. Strong, wilful, brave, and intelligent, I was more than the ideal wife. I had power and friends, and they’d nearly made me forget that. But not anymore. They came for me; now I’m coming for them.
The day I divorced Oliver, I danced in the rain and took my life back. I’m more than anyone believed, with a secret that could easily ruin Oliver. They treated me terribly; now it’s my turn. Revenge is a dish best served cold by A Woman Scorned.
This is the first book in the series, A Woman Scorned. It follows the lives of women who were betrayed by their loved ones. Each woman will get her own duet or trilogy. Alicia is the first of three books, leading to her eventual HEA!

Lots of angst and a cliffhanger
This book starts from high school going on for 15 years. Alicia has gone through transformations throughout the book. There are some twist and turns and some shocking revelations. I really like some of the friends that Alicia makes. I thought this series was about more than 1 woman but it looks like this is series is going to be about Alicia.

The Wife: Alicia is a dark, emotionally intense story that dives deep into the complexities of trauma, survival, and identity. Harris crafts Alicia’s world with raw honesty, showing the brutal reality she has endured and the strength she must summon to reclaim her life. The tone is gritty and immersive, pulling you into a narrative where every choice feels heavy and every moment carries emotional weight.
Alicia herself is a powerful, unforgettable character. Harris writes her with nuance—she is broken in places, but never defeated. Her journey is shaped by fear, resilience, and the slow rediscovery of her own voice. The relationships around her, especially those that challenge her sense of trust, add layers of tension and vulnerability. Harris excels at portraying the internal battles Alicia faces, making her growth feel earned and deeply human.
The plot moves with steady intensity, blending psychological depth with moments of suspense and quiet tenderness. Harris doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of Alicia’s past, but she also highlights the hope that emerges when strength and support finally meet. The Wife: Alicia is a gripping, emotional read that showcases Harris’s ability to write stories that are both brutal and beautifully transformative.

This one is interesting, not sure what to label it, kinda romance, but only if you count watching it unravel, there are two potential new love interests for Alicia, but more it feels like watching Alicia find herself again, while everyone else and their brother is all about taking revenge on Oliver. That last bit sounds bad, but that is farther from the truth. Oliver is so reprehensible that you love to see his own actions coming back to him, he's definitively finding out what FAFO means. The funniest things is that he doesn't see himself as the villain at all, it's all someone else's fault. I was so glad that Alicia found good people to have her back as the went through everything. I like how her past is back in play, also having her back. Was very surprised to see the one connection right at the end. I find I'm very much looking forward to seeing where things go from here and hope that we see the downfall of Oliver in a big way.

I really loved the direction Elizabeth & Wynter have gone with this new series. This is a departure from Elizabeth's normal MC and paranormal themes and I'm all for it! Alicia and Oliver were high school sweethearts until they weren't. After a tragic event, Alicia finished high school and headed to college. While there Oliver wormed his way back in. After years of emotional abuse, Alicia finally realizes what is happening and moves on. Luckily for her, she meet a group a few years earlier that brought out her real self, allowed her to have a successful career so she had a backup to Oliver's money. This book had the emotional ride you expect from Elizabeth. Be aware, there is cheating on page.

Love this new series!
Oh my goodness! The story pulled me in, and I am definitely hooked! I was reading, glanced down, and was at 42% complete. The next thing I know it is 4 a.m. and I am 92% complete. NOOOO! Cliffhanger! LOL.
Somehow, the characters are complex while parts of their personality wait to be explored in future books. There is plenty of foreshadowing and preparation for the next book in the series. Oliver makes a great villain.
Yes, there is a cliffhanger. I was left feeling like I was just below the crest of a hill and can not wait for the second book.
I will always hold a grudge against Beth's Texas from Rage MC. Oliver is joining Texas on my list!

Alicia thought she had a good life with Olvier her husband who had been obsessed with her for years only now shes starting to see the cracks it wasnt obsession it was abusive control and when his latest affair gets exposed Alicia gets a way put from an unlikely source, but she can hold her own with her own secrets. This story has you hooked! Its engaging throughout and well paced, with twists, whitty banter and more! ends on a cliffy, I cant wait for book 2

The Wife - Alicia is book 1 in the A Woman Scorned series. This one is a bit of a departure from what I've read from this author before but nonetheless a fantastic read. Alicia is a force to be reckoned with and Oliver will never know what hit him when he betrays Alicia. This story is intense, intriguing, dramatic and consuming. There’s big twists, turns and surprises in store! What a great read! I can't wait for book 2!

Just finished this book. What can is say to explain how much I enjoyed this read. I swear there isn't enough words. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed learning about them all. Alicia is going to be amazing once she finds herself again she is well on the way there and I can't wait to see what happens with Oliver. I could not get enough of reading this book and when it ended I wanted more

Emotional Rollercoaster
This story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, conveying the crucial message that healing is possible. Its realistic portrayal of the healing process makes it even more impactful. My heart broke for her and all she endured because of what he put her through. You do not know what to expect, but right from the beginning it drew me in. This does end in a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next one to be released.

Alicia - A Woman Scorned
Noooooo what the ending it can’t be all ! Alicia has been through so much bullying, tragedy, heartbreak, being conditioned, and having to remind herself of who she is. Loved the Five Founding members and their wife’s. I just felt like throat punching her ex Oliver what a horrible human being. And the past coming out of nowhere and Cain ? I need a Cain and Alicia book please. Drama and war in the tabloid’s. Again what happened at the end ?

an old favourite teamed up with a new author
I have loved and read all of Elizabeth’s books and this one is no different.
Wynter is a new author but after reading this book I’m looking forward to reading more of her work.
I can’t wait to see where the ladies take this series as I absolutely loved this book!

This book gave me first wives club with a twist and a more modern take with more backstory.
I really enjoyed this book, and appreciated POV chapters from various characters and not just the ones you would expect.
Impatiently waiting for book 2 to see where this goes.
5/5 stars
2/5 chilli peppers

What's next?
I was skeptical about this book, but was impressed that no shadows of rage was present! While I love the other series, I'm glad this was free of them! This book was great! I laughed, clutched my pearls, and wanted to start a bar fight with that prick. 😂😂😂 Hopefully the next book will be out soon enough, this isn't a series I will pass up!

Narcissistic man
Loved the book can’t wait until you add to this series. Unfortunately related so much with Alicia. When you give yourself completely to someone you love and they use you for their own personal gain without knowing you. Once you start to find yourself it’s amazing although the insecurities still linger from all that emotional abuse.

This is a brand new series and trope to me but I loved the story and can't wait to read more. Alicia is such a great character who after years of abuse, starts living a new life. I'm impatiently waiting for book 2
