Book Description:

Espouse: (v.) to take in marriage; to make a marriage permanent by court decree; the court-approved process by which couples may stay together beyond the legal 15-year term.

In the contemporary world, fifteen years is considered the legal life cycle of a marriage. If a couple wants to stay together (married), they must hire a lawyer and petition the court to become Espoused.

After 14 years of marriage, Sara and Thomas Healy are still in love. Their decision to go to court to be espoused permanently is a source of great embarrassment for their children. Avery is ready for the benefits of uncoupling, and Sam really doesn’t need the social stigma of parents who decide to stay together, on top of everything else. Lame! Their espouse attorney, Gwen Stevens, has other problems. The judge for the Healy case is her nemesis, Carly Abraham, also known as “the Wicked Witch of the Bench.” Judge Abraham was previously married to Gwen’s husband Dennis, from whom she uncoupled after the allotted 15 years. She hates espouse lawyers on principle, and seems to have an extra dose of dislike for Gwen personally.

While the Healys struggle through the espouse experience—trial separation, uncouple counseling, and ongoing financial burdens—Gwen has to deal with the judge and her own struggles at home. In this fight for love, who has the answers?

My Review: 

I have to admit that at first, I was not sure if I was going to enjoy Jean Marie Davis’s newest release, Espoused. Once I got through the first chapter, I knew that I was going to be in for a treat. The author’s writing style is so very good. I loved the unique plot that she had created. It was great to let out some much-needed laughs for a change. There are a lot characters to keep up with but not overwhelmingly so. I was surprised how easy it was to read without being confused. I felt as though I was part of each of their lives. I loved every single page of this book. 

I will be giving Espoused a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading a fun, delightful and humorous book with a new type of story line. I would love to read more by Jean Marie Davis in the near future. I have to see where else her imagination will take her readers. This one would be a perfect book to read on a rainy or a cold, snowy day. I am adding it to one of my favorites I have read for the year and placing it on my limited keeper shelf to read again and again. 

I received a paperback copy of Espoused from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
