Someone Like You

Wild Widows, Book 1

By: Marie Force

Narrated by: Janine Granda, Sebastian York

After I suddenly lose my husband, Patrick, in a senseless shooting, I’m lost in a sea of well-meaning people trying to make the unimaginable seem possible. How am I supposed to go on without the man who's been at the center of my life for nearly a decade? My friends and family do what they can for me, but I quickly realize that surviving this loss is going to be on me. One day to the next, I have to make the decision to go on, but life isn’t done throwing me ringers, and just when I think I’ve got this young-widow game figured out, I find out how wrong I am.

When a friend of my sister’s connects me to the Wild Widows, I find a group of fellow travelers who understand my new reality in a way no one else in my life ever could. The Wild Widows have one requirement for membership to their group: I must be open to the possibility of a "Chapter Two", which is what they call a second chance at love. While I’m not in any way looking for or ready for a Chapter Two, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that I’m not in control of where this journey will take me.

Come along as Roni and the other Wild Widows navigate their new realities with grace, humor, and compassion. They will make you laugh and cry and root for each and every one of them in this exciting, heartfelt new series.

One of her best!

It takes a lot for me to give a five star review. A LOT.. This book took me by surprise when I could not stop listening as I fell in love with the characters. All of the characters. At one point I felt myself getting choked up and couldn’t believe…I mean, maybe for an epic Kristin Hannah novel, but part of a series? It was just that good. What a great start to a new series that will be a pre-purchase in the future!

Love Marie but narrator too much

True Marie Force fan here but had to switch to reading the book. Narrator just too hard to listen to. Every single consonant at the end of each word does not have to be sounded out. I listen to hours of audio books and this was bad.

Attention: Lisa Edgar

I have been waiting for months to read and listen to this novel! I haven’t finished it yet but I expect it to be wonderful, as Marie Force has yet to write something I didn’t enjoy. However, I DON’T appreciate reading the happy ending in the review above. Lisa Edgar- you realize you spoiled the plot twist for the millions of us who haven’t read or listened to this book yet, right? How about you edit your review so the HEA isn’t ruined? Please and thank you.
Jeez, you would think people would be considerate of others but apparently not. I’m sure Marie Force loves reading wonderful reviews but please join her FB page specifically made to discuss the books. That’s where people list the spoilers and discuss the book, so as not to spoil it for everyone.
That is all. Rant over.
PS- Narrators are awesome. Sebastian York could read the dictionary and I’d be happy. =)

Great story !

Love the new story for Derek and Roni and the fabulous spin off from the fatal series. Look forward to seeing where these new characters go

Someone Like You

Marie did an awesome job of making this story real. Not only does she get the emotions and feelings right but also making the reader realize that is no right or wrong way to grieve. That grief is different for everyone. Great series. Highly recommend not only this book but her Fatal Series and her First Family Series as well. If you haven’t read any of the others, start with Fatal Affair, which starts all of this story.

wonderful for a new widow

A great story with good pointers for someone grieving the loss of a beloved spouse.

Another great series

I couldn’t put this one down and was sad when it ended. Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for the next installment!

A wonderful new series

A group formed by grief in losing a spouse has brought Roni here. Roni was introduced in another series by Marie Force with Sam and Nick. I loved how Roni's grief is handled so thoughtfully. I'm looking forward to more in this series. Hearing Janine Granda and Sebastian York narration is the icing on the cake for me.

Emotional, sad and hopeful for the future

I always love Marie Force’s books. This book has heartache, so much sadness, but also hope. I loved the characters being interwoven from the Fatal series, I also found it educational and heartwarming to learn how men and women cope with such tragic loss and hopefully find their Chapter 2.

Chapter II Love

I liked the bonding of those who lost their spouse. I want everyone in the Wild Widows to have their next chance for a happily ever after!!
