I loved this book. This is the 4th book in the Happily Ever Mishaps series. After I finished this book I went and purchased the first 3 books. Kendall Hale is a new author to me, but I loved her way of telling a story. This book focuses on Emmersyn and Caleb who have been married for almost tens years but have been separated for many years, but now because of her grandmother’s will they must live together for six months in order for to inherit her family’s company. Now Emmersyn proposed marriage to Caleb when she was 18 so she could have access to her trust fund and help his family who was in financial distress. However, although they were trying to make it work unfortunately her grandmother interfered and ruined their marriage. This story was so funny with Caleb trying to strip Emmersyn of everything and Emmersyn taunting Caleb with dirty talk. This is one of those stories where if they just communicated and talked to one another they could fix things. However, I enjoyed the ride. The story kept me entertained was fast paced and a little steamy. I especially enjoyed when Caleb and all his friends were together and the ribbing they gave him. I cannot wait to read their stories in the previous books.
