The Exes is a fun read with a good story and intensely hot bedroom, bathroom lift etc etc scenes.
Alma and Harvey have been divorced for a year, Harvey has started texting a number he was given and started a new relationship with an unknown woman...purely by text, neither realising they are texting each other, this is fine but when they speak on the phone it's seems a little beyond belief they don't recognise each other's voice, there are another couple of scenes that are also a little bit difficult to swallow. I can't say more or it would contain spoilers. There are also some laugh out loud moments that are really good
An enjoyable romantic read with a ending that will leave you smiling.
Thank you net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book

I am going to start out by highlighting the couple little things., I did not like about the book - starting with the ending. While it was sort of a closing, it was not exactly a direct answer to his question, and I am going to leave it at that because I don't want to spoil the book. A different ending would have been more satisfying.

What I also did not like was that Alma Castillo was too hard on her ex, Harvey Zale. Okay, I do not like books that showcase women who jump right into a relationship or the physical, but she could have given him a little bit more of a break. It seemed a little one sided to me - yes both of them needed to work on whatever went wrong in their relationship, but while he grew up, for the most part, it seemed that she did not need to do any growing up - which in my opinion was wrong. It would have been more believable if she would have learned a few lessons along the way too.

What I did like about the book was, that the story was well plotted, and very detailed in her quest. I never thought this much about stain glass windows before, but I can understand Alma's fascination with the subject matter. I believed her passion for this art form, just as much as I believed his passion for making money.

Should these two characters receive a second chance? Absolutely. Despite their issues, unresolved or not, they are a fit, and Aria Hawthorne did a real good job conveying that. I also loved the side characters, especially Alma's father who is absolutely a man of integrity. Well developed, and nicely done.

Very entertaining. It was difficult to read in the portions of the book spent looking for the stained glass. However, I Loved Harvey (especially, in the last half of the book). He was a totally different person with HER. The hat and the sock part was hilarious!

Absolute trash! I would never read anything as illerate as this!It's filth!

overall good read.

Unfortunately this one was a bit boring, didn't hold my attention but I liked blurb and it has potential.
