Book Description:
In a dazzling celebration of the power of friendship and love, acclaimed bestselling author Fern Michaels brings her trademark wit and warmth to an action-packed story featuring a group of diverse women who bond Survivor-style under the most unlikely of circumstances...and find romance along the way.
When Samantha Rainford -- newly wed to Douglas Cosmo Rainford III -- returns home from her honeymoon to find divorce papers waiting, she's shocked and heartbroken. Then she discovers that she's not the first to be abandoned -- she's one of four (or maybe more) ex-Mrs. Rainfords -- and decides it's time to put into practice that old truism: Don't get mad, get even.
With the help of her longtime girlfriend Slick, a glamorous fashion model, Sam gathers together a highly unlikely team: Mrs. Kayla Rainford, an architect who moonlights as an exotic dancer; Mrs. Zoe Rainford, a plumber; and Mrs. Olivia Rainford, a former cheerleader and cartoon artist. Sam and Slick flunked out of FBI training school, but they still learned a few things there -- like how to plan a mission. And the fivesome is determined to do whatever it takes to bring down Douglas Rainford III.
Whatever it takes means attending a top-secret private special-ops training camp in the North Carolina mountains, where Sam meets fiercely disciplined ex-CIA operative Kollar Havapopulas. Six feet three and handsome as a Greek god, "Pappy" is the best at what he does -- transforming civilians into highly skilled fighting teams. What he's less adept at, however, is telling a woman how he feels, and before long he discovers he's developing some very warm feelings for Samantha Rainford -- an attraction that seems fated to be a total disaster. Two personalities as strong as Sam and Pappy are sure to strike sparks, but will the fire that burns between them consume everything in its way?

The book started out rather slowly. After about 50 pages, I was ready to give up. But then it started to pick up. It moved more quickly, became more interesting, and I was hooked!
It's a story about Sam, who has a three-week whirlwind courtship, then a three-week honeymoon, and is the served with divorce papers. After doing some checking, she finds that she's not the only ex. There's almost a dozen more!!
Some of them band together, the join a vigilante training-ops camp to learn how to become assets of their country. The only problem is that Sam falls in love with the training organizer, a handsome Greek ex-CIA operative, and his wolf-dog, Alpha.
When the training is completed, the ex-wives form a friendship alliance and decide to go after their ex-husband (when they learn he's a billionaire) in hopes of getting a nice settlement for the trouble he caused each of them.
If you can get past the first 50 pages, you'll find it an enjoyable and worthwhile read.

I love Fern Michaels' books however, this was the absolute worst book of hers. I really didn't know if it was a romance, a revenge or a personal triumph story. To me, the book had all but not really any of them. In the end, I thought "huh?"
I will definitely read reviews on her next book before I order it.

The story line is very unique... There is alot of action and physical training, etc. There is an underlying mystery that reaches an exciting peak near the end, and also a sweet romance. Nice story.
great book, I really enjoyed it. It was a fast read. But all of Fern Michaels books are great, haven't read a one I haven't liked. Fun 7 fast.
I did not care for this one. I usually LOVE Fern Michaels books, but this was ok.
