Adrenaline pumping yet a very heartwarming romantic thriller, “Half Empty” is the second book in the First Wives Club series by Catherine Bybee.

It was not the most romantic meeting; in fact, it could be said it was a cliché… Newly widowed Trina Petrov met country-music superstar Wade Thomas in a bar! But, what followed was a rollercoaster ride beginning with a chartered plane to the Bahamas then to Texas and finally New York where the mystery began to unravel or was it revealed?

Both Trina and Wade were not looking for love. They were not looking for a one-night stand either. They were just minding their own business but Eros with the help of the Moirai changed their plans and eventually their destiny.

“Half Empty” is a refreshing take on the music superstar trope. Wade Thomas was expecting that all the crazies would be coming from his side, that financially, he was the one who had to more to give. The twist in the trope was it was Trina, the non-famous one who was richer, and everything was happening because of her!

Another surprise, the adrenaline pumping action is worthy of Jason Bourne but with a mob twist.

This is the first my first listen with narrator Emma Wilder. She kept me interested the whole time even though I have read the book when it came out last year. Each character was given a distinctive voice and I did not have a hard time figuring out who was who.

“Half Empty” is Rated T for Teens. Parental guidance is advised due to violence.

Summary

Trina Petrov’s marriage-by-contract was only meant to be temporary. But when tragedy strikes, Trina is left one of the wealthiest women in the world. To recover from the shock, she takes some time off in Italy, swearing not to fall for any men while there. But that doesn’t mean she can’t fall for anyone on the trip home . . .

Country-music superstar Wade Thomas is lying low in a hotel bar when he gets the cold shoulder from the woman next to him. He’s used to fans fawning at his boots, and Trina is a refreshing change—so is the fact that she has no idea who he is.

As things begin to heat up, Trina discovers that the circumstances of her late husband’s death are not what they seemed. Now she’s in trouble, and Wade isn’t about to let her out of his sight. Getting close to love and danger could get them killed . . . or it could sweep them both off their feet.
