Book Description:
Without love, marriage is just business. At least that’s what Claudia Mason tells the women who seek her firm’s unique services. With wealthy husbands who see their wedding rings as meani
ngless pieces of jewelry, they trust Claudia to do whatever is necessary to gather the hard evidence needed to shatter an ironclad prenup.She is the best in the business and has yet to meet a mark she couldn’t get the goods on— solidifying her belief that no man can be trusted. After landing a client who is her ticket to retirement, she is on top of the world. Until a chance encounter with Greyston Michaels turns her carefully controlled world upside down.
Greyston shows Claudia a part of herself she thinks she’s lost, making her question everything she believes about men—and love. But in Claudia's world, following her heart is bad for business. And business is everything.

Excerpt:
“So, Mr. Michaels—”
“Grey,” he interrupted.
“So, Grey,
what exactly is the purpose of the business meeting? Are you going to give me
pointers on how best to serve your brother?” His jaw clenched and a fire lit in
his eyes. “As his new assistant,” I added, turning my body toward him. His face
relaxed as I took a sip of my drink.
“To the contrary, like I told you, I need a
new assistant. I believe your talents will be better utilized serving me.”
He placed his hand over mine around the glass
and pulled it toward him. His unexpected touch sent goose bumps over my skin.
Keeping his eyes trained on me, he took a drink from my glass. His tongue
flicked out over his bottom lip to catch a stray drop of the clear liquid.
“My need for you is far more urgent than my
brother’s,” he continued, his eyes burning into me as he took the lime from the
rim of my glass and sucked it between his lips. “I’ll have one of these, as
well,” he told the bartender without looking at him.
I pulled my lip between my teeth and bit
down to temper the urge to kiss him right there in the middle of the crowded
restaurant.
Between the drinks and the stress of the
day, I was far past worrying about my responsibility to Elsa Michaels. The only
thing I was worried about was getting some release and from what I could tell,
Greyston Michaels could give me that and more.
“You are the most stunning woman I have
ever seen,” he whispered, inching closer. “Those eyes, I’ve never seen anything
like them.”
“Oh yeah.” I smirked. “What color are
they?” I closed my eyes before finishing the question. No one ever really
noticed their true colors, so I expected an educated guess at best.
“Well”—he leaned over and whispered in my
left ear—“the left is sea green with hints of blue, like the ocean when you’re
far out looking down into the depths. The right”—he moved around, letting his
lips brush ever so slightly over my forehead, to whisper in my right ear—“is
blue like the sky on a perfect summer day.”
I opened my eyes, surprised at his accurate
response. My heterochromia typically eluded most people, even those close to me
would say my eyes were either green or blue, never one of each, a trait
inherited from my mother.
Whatever was left of my instinct to fight
the attraction between us dissipated as I leaned forward until our lips were
mere centimeters apart. “You’re going to regret me,” I whispered against his
mouth.
“The only thing I would regret is not
kissing you right now,” he breathed, closing the gap between us.

“We have a saying here…Without love, marriage is just a business.”
This was one of those books that I thoroughly enjoyed, it was perfectly balanced with humour, great friendships and a good ole dose of romance. This book screamed “read me” just from the title alone, I loved the synopsis and was eager to read.
“…Homewrecker Incorporated: conquering the world one cheating asshole at a time.”
Homewrecker Incorporated was set up by four girlfriends, each one taking great pleasure in getting women out of pre-nups and proving the philandering ways of their spouses. These girls together are hilarious and have a great friendship and business relationship. Their mission is to get the evidence needed in infidelity cases and it seems by any means necessary. The home may already be wrecked but these women make sure it stays that way.
Claudia was relationship averse, she has had a few one night stands and had her “marks” but that was as far as she ever went. She just was not interested in a relationship. So when her next mark puts her in the path of Greyston Claudia is shocked by the instant chemistry and attraction that she feels. It has the potential to go places but with her mark being Greyston’s twin brother there are complications. How can she possibly prove Gregory’s infidelity when all she wants is to shag the bones off his brother?
“I realized what I’d seen of him before was like gazing at a distant star. You recognized its light, its beauty, but it wasn’t until you were sucked into its orbit you could finally appreciate its power.”
Greyston was a great character, he was charming, arrogant, drop dead gorgeous and he knew it. But underneath all that he was a man that had had his heart broken and was reticent to put it back out there for the mauling. Yes, this was a instalust/love kind of read but I do believe in that instant connection, that instant spark, I had it with my husband. These two scream disaster from the beginning but when the connection is there…somethings are worth fighting for.
As I said above, there are some great characters in this book and I am hoping that this is the stepping stone for some more hilarious stories from this fantastic group of women. I am sure they have many a story to regale.
If you are in the mood for a light hearted read with a little angst and a lot of laughs, then this is the ideal read for you. While the title may put some people off I would urge you to take the chance, after all this is more about the private investigation side rather than a cheating partner. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a quick read. My only little niggle was that for me it ended too soon and the ending felt rushed. I would have liked more…but that is a good thing too!
I will say that this book slightly reminded me of another series I have read, however this book was unique in its own way and soon banished that thought. So if you are thinking you have read similar, don’t, I would still give this one a chance. I hope to be reading more about this group of ladies, for certain there will never be a dull moment.
