My Invisible Husband


My Invisible Husband
Shelia M. Goss
**** (4/5)


When I saw the titled of this book I rolled my eyes and kept on watching, but something made me go back and pick it up. The back sounds a little harlequin romance (which I have nothing against) but I was looking for a little more substance. I bought it anyway to the ridicule of my friends who still keep teasing me about this lifetime movie I watched way more than I should have for some strange reason, with a similar premise- Invisible Child.



I wasn’t expecting much but the story is about Nikki a woman who is down and out on love after a series of dead end relationships. Sick and tired of family and co-workers asking when she was going to settle down, Nikki concocts a plan (not as farfetched as it sounds either) and…. a husband. While in her mind, the plan is foolproof, she didn’t account for reality and when Bryon Matthews enters her life and agrees so go along with the plan, Nikki & Bryon gets more than they bargain for and begin to fall it love. When some ghosts from the past threaten to disrupt the presence, readers are left to wonder will Nikki’s invisible husband become real.


This book is just as it sounds- light, fun romance reading. The writing is good, characters likeable and well developed and I truly enjoyed this book. As I said the premise is not as far-fetched and crazy as it sounds. Glad I picked this one up and you should too.
