LOVED this book! Unlike other thrillers, the twists and turns were throughout the entire book, not just at the end. A really interested viewpoint on secrets, marriage, jealousy and friendship. The characters were all really fun nd relatable, while also being surprising. Would definitely read more by this author!

*Trigger warning for domestic abuse*.

I didn’t think I would like this book. The whole ‘real housewives’ thing leaves me flat. But though the settings may be the same the women in this story are anything but flat.

We have three very rich women living in a wealthy subdivision in California. Two have been friends for a long time; a tv news anchor and a woman known as the Black Widow as her two husbands died under mysterious circumstances. The third is the new girl married to an internet magnet who seems rather detached. The Black Widow is about to marry again when her fiancé disappears from their engagement party. The storyline could have fallen apart there but the author has given us characters we can alternatively love and hate, and they are never boring.

I’m looking forward to other books from this author.

Grab your pillow, your blanket, and find a snuggly spot because you are NOT going to want to stop reading! 📖

It takes a talented author to write characters that you absolutely hate, but you still want to keep reading anyway.

The cul-de-sac of drama, pettiness, and back stabbing is where you find yourself as you following mystery writer Brooke Davies as she makes new friends and connects with two women in her new home. One being the notorious Black Widow.

These women are awful, horrible and nasty, but dammit I wanted ONE of the husbands to make it! I suppose it depends on your definition of HEA. 🤷‍♀️

I must admit that even though they may feel like they are not your favorite people- they are super funny at times and I had to chuckle while reading this.

Twists and turns galore that I 100% never saw coming and I loved this book and cannot wait to hear everyone else's thoughts...get over to NetGalley and request it or preorder now. It comes out in July!

SO GOOD! 💀💀💀💀💀

The real Housewives have nothing on these women. Thank you @netgalley for the advanced kindle version in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Random House and Netgalley for the ARC of this book. What a fun book! I loved the premise, Brooke moves into a glitzy neighborhood and who should be her next door neighbor but Georgia, The Black Widow? Soon Brooke, Georgia, and Erin become friends drinking mimosas and trying to find out who kidnapped Georgia’s fiance. This is a perfect book for Summer. Get some cool drinks and sit in the sun and read! You will love it.

This fast moving thriller checked off all of the boxes. Wealthy, beautiful wives mixed with unfaithful husbands, yachts and murders. Georgia and Erin are thick as thieves and Brooke and her husband move into elite community and become instant friends...... hold on for the ride.

There's no point in denying it; the women in "The Sinful Lives Of Trophy Wives" are deliciously shallow and compelling at the same time. In her latest foray, Kristin Miller has penned an immensely entertaining psychological thriller that will grab your attention from the start.

The story is told from the perspective of the three female protagonists who are neighbors in an exclusive gated community in San Francisco. Erin King is a successful news anchor at a local station who feels her looks may be waning based on the lack of attention from her plastic surgeon husband, Mason. Georgia St. Claire, dubbed the "Black Widow," is engaged to her third husband after her first two husbands met untimely deaths. Rounding out this trio of rabid social climbers is new neighbor, Brooke Davies, a mystery writer who is married to Jack, a tech billionaire who is 22 years her senior.

Three days before her wedding, Georgia's fiancé, Robert, disappears off his yacht during a pre-wedding celebratory party. This unleashes a missing person's investigation to find him. It is during this time that we learn more about the lives of Erin, Georgia and Brooke. While they all have an obsessive relationship with money and status, their married lives are severely lacking. Each of them seem to be harboring their own secrets behind the facade of their perfect homes.

Miller is adept at creating these characters that are flawed but relatable. Perhaps they are victims of their own circumstances. As the plot thickens with twists and turns, I became so immersed that I devoured this book in record time. Many thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for an Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book ! The story follows three trophy wives Erin, Georgia and Brooke. Each chapter is told from their different POV’s.
This is one fun, dark, twisty summer read. Desperate Housewives have nothing on these ladies. Be ready to read from cover to cover non stop !
Thanks to NetGalley, Random House group- Ballantine Books and Krista Miller for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m a sucker for books that let me live vicariously through the life of the rich and fabulous and The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives did not disappoint! So much suspense mixed with an inside look at the lives of the elite makes for a perfect beach read and escape from reality. I didn’t want this book to end and I found myself missing the character when it did. Looking forward to more books by Kristin Miller!!

As with other books by Kristin Miller, first impressions are not what they appear to be. Georgia St Claire has lost 2 husbands and now days before her third wedding, her fiance is missing. Her best friend Erin is always there for her, always got her back, even if she enjoys teasing her as the Black Widow. What truth does Erin know? Or is she helping her cover something up? Enter the new girl on the block, Brooke, married to billionaire Jack...she's a mystery writer and always looking for the twisted lies people tell. What does she see? What will she tell?

I appreciate stories with complex characters and storylines and Miller does an excellent job with both. Nothing is what it seems and that keeps you turning the pages.

Thanks to Netgalley for the arc to review.

Scandalous! This was a fun read. I felt like I was snapping gum with red lipstick while I read it. It was juicy, fast-paced and just fun. I recommend this is you like neighborhood gossip!

The upcoming novel The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives, by Kristin Miller, looks at dark secrets in an exclusive neighborhood. The friendships aren't deeply developed, it mostly seems that living in the same gated community brought the friends together. I didn't quite see the draw that started the friendship here, but I did believe that the friends were bound by their secrets. Still, the wives have a lot to lose, so the stakes are high and there's so much drama.

Although this is mostly a thriller, the novel does raise some thoughtful points about power imbalance in marriages.

This book was pure fluff, like a good musical and kept me interested from the beginning. It's a quick read, and pure entertainment! Thanks to Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the egalley. Truly, lots of fun, murder and mayhem, thrown in with BFF's!

This book is a fun and wickedly addictive beach read! The story is told from 3 different POV’s of 3 ultra rich wives of the exclusive gated community of Presidio Terrace in San Francisco. We follow their shenanigans, deceptions, and evil scheming surrounding their friendships, jobs and marriages. They are funny, endearing, naughty and so very entertaining! If you enjoy secrets, lies and domestic mayhem, you won’t be able to put this one down till you’ve devoured the last page! I read this one without reading the synopsis and recommend everyone do the same. The title was enough to grab my attention and the cover art is 🔥! Bravo Ms. Miller, I will be anxiously anticipating your next thriller!
Thank you to Netgalley, Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine Books, and Kristin Miller for granting my wish for a digital ARC for my honest review.

If you are in the mood a Real Housewives/Desperate Housewives-style psychological thriller with a darkly comic bent, this would be a good book for you. The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives introduces us to Georgia, Erin, and Brooke and San Francisco's Presidio Terrace.

All three women are beautiful and wealthy. Georgia is known as the Black Widow and on the cusp of her third marriage. Brooke is a young newlywed, an author, and married to a tech billionaire. Erin is a news anchor, and close friends with Georgia. They all have secrets.

Georgia’s fiancé goes missing after a party on his yacht, and we learn that everyone’s secrets are intertwined, with the missing fiancé and with each other.

I found this book entertaining, with unlikeable characters, ridiculous hijinks, and hateful men who we aren’t sorry to see bumped off. It wasn’t really my cup of tea, but for a frothy, soapy blackly comedic mystery, this was good one.

Super fun, frothy novel! I enjoyed reading about the crazy shenanigans of this group of women. Perfect summer read!

Thought I’d step out of my comfort zone and explore a different genre than I usually read. Sorry I did. I’m sure there’s a better audience for this book, but the writing itself took away from a potentially interesting group of devious, backstabbing characters.

I’m not sure what I was expecting. All I know is that what I got was a pleasant surprise. I felt like I was watching a guilty-pleasure reality show mixed with a mystery I couldn’t get enough of.

This is the story of three “trophy wives” living in a posh neighborhood. Brooke is the novelist and newcomer on the block. Erin is the news anchor. And Georgia is the Black Widow (suspected of killing her past husbands).

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery and the bonds some women develop together. Thank you to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Kristin Miller for the chance to read this advance copy. I can’t wait to recommend it to everyone.

Brooke is married to Jack who is much older than her. They live in a beautiful house and seem to.have the perfect marriage. Jack feels that if Brooke spends too much time away from him, their secrets will come out and their perfect image will be shattered.
Erin a successful news anchor has put her career over her marriage to Mason and now needs to redeem herself before it is too late.
Georgia seems to be enjoying the wealth left to her by her previous two husbands, but exactly how did she get to inherit?
These are truly the secret lives and each wife has her own agenda.
An interesting book, but not quite my genre.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I looooooooved this book. It was a cheesy, easy read, but it sucked me in immediately and I finished in 24 hours. This will be the PERFECT beach read and I have already recommended it to everyone I know. I highly, highly recommend it!

Oh delicious delightful yes, yes, and yes...y’all! I just finished this incredible story that should be added, at once, to your 2021 Summer Beach Reads list! Starring 3 strong female characters: Brooke, Erin and Georgia, this can best be described as mystery/suspense with gossipy friendships, billions of dollars and assets galore. The women, who live in a trendy and posh neighborhood in CA, each have their share of drama, denial, schemes and chaos. I finished this in two nights and even my exhaustion from our first back to school “in-person” couldn’t keep me from turning the pages until I finished. This is my favorite kind of suspense that has twists and turns until literally the final page. I never even saw some of it coming! It is a fabulous read and will land on many “hot reads” of this Summer lists!
