NOMINEE: Ecataromance 2006 Reviewers' Choice Award

In the year 2076, the Tiberius Group invades all aspects of society, taking over and implementing a new plan for the good of all U.S. citizens, especially the females.

Sophie Brent loses her job at Westland Industries and is put up for auction in a corporate venue of former peers. She's the record high bid and soon-to-be-bride of the worst lecher in the company, until her boss outbids all and saves her. 

Matt Westland spends a fortune to marry his former employee, Sophie. He has wanted her since a delicious incident under the mistletoe at Christmas. Secretly in love with him, Sophie is an all-too-willing partner in Matt's passionate seduction, and the two fall madly in love.

Unfortunately, Matt's power-hungry father will stop at nothing to get rid of Sophie and find a more politically connected wife to ensure that his son becomes the next president of the United States.

REVIEWS for The Executive's Wife [The Wives Tales 2]

5 Stars: 2006 Reviewers' Choice Award Nominee: "Once again Lara Santiago has written an intriguing and engaging story in The Executive's Wife. Having waited ever so patiently for this follow up to The Miner's Wife, I can honestly say it was worth it. Sophie and Matt have an explosive chemistry which is immediately apparent. Initially, they are concerned with the employer/employee relationship but once the Tiberius Group institutes its changes, all bets are off. Matt will use any means at his disposal to get the one woman he wants. Sophie's character may seem a little unruffled at first, but it is soon obvious that she's got a will of steel and will do anything in her power to help those that she loves. The premise of this story follows the previous in that Matt is bio-genetically engineered but there are subtle differences. The adversity that they immediately face in their marriage adds an intensity and urgency to their relationship which is revealed in their frequent lovemaking. In addition to all of that, this well paced story also has a lot of suspense and even a few surprising twists in the plot. The Executive's Wife is a must read for fans of Ms. Santiago as well as the Wives Tales." Trang, Ecataromance 

4.5 Stars/Hot: "The Wives Tales 2: The Executive’s Wife was refreshing and scary at the same time. I’m sure someone in the world would love nothing more than to see women’s rights taken away and Lara Santiago presented what would happen in detail. The fact that Sophie got the man she always wanted was good fortune, but life did not work out so well for her sister. I’m dying to read [Hannah's] story, but I was more than satisfied with The Wives Tales 2: The Executive’s Wife. Sophie and Matt were dynamic characters that kept me turning the pages. I wanted to see more of them and the love they shared. Their sex life was stimulating and well earned. Matt’s father was obnoxious as well as determined. The man just would not give up on his dream for his son. It was more like an obsession. I had to give him credit for his gumption. Moreover, he made the story more interesting. After reading The Executive’s Wife, I am greedy for more. While I wait for the next installment, I plan to read the first Wives Tale [The Miner's Wife]." Suni Farrar, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 Kisses: "Lara Santiago is a very talented author and the men in her books are absolutely to die for. Matt is honest, straightforward, sexy, protective and a loving alpha male that no woman could resist (or would want to). He doesn't hide from his feelings which is very refreshing and even shows his vulnerability to the woman he loves. Sophie is funny, kind, and a wonderful mate for Matthew. The heady combination of these two characters makes the intensely erotic love scenes even hotter. I recommend reading The Executive's Wife and look forward reading more pieces written by Lara Santiago!"  Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

4 Blue Ribbons: "I thoroughly enjoyed this book because there is so much happening in the plot. Two people who love each other finally come together, but Matt's family uses every underhanded trick in the book to split them up. An ex-girlfriend thrown into the mix really doesn't help things. Love scenes are highly erotic with a burning intensity that will leave readers panting for more. This story has everything including deception, passion, mystery and manipulation. Lara Santiago is a great author who has created a tale that is sure to stick with readers long after it's over." Angel, Romance Junkies

4 Angels: "Lara Santiago once again pens a compelling and erotic drama surrounding the Tiberius Group. Sophie is a strong, determined and very intelligent woman who is facing a changing world. Her only securities are her wits and soon, Matthew's arms, but even that seems tenuous at best. Ms. Santiago does a phenomenal job in creating a serious and devastating situation, and showing how love is able to triumph even the most depraved and rigid minds. Matthew is honest in his emotions. Almost from page one, he recognizes Sophie as the love he has been waiting for. When they finally are able to express their love to each other, it is wonderful to behold. With a cast of villainous secondary characters ready in the wings to cut Sophie to ribbons, Matthew and Sophie must use their heads and their hearts to find a way to succeed over not only the Tiberius Group, but over the many people determined to keep them apart. The Executive's Wife is a fabulous follow-up to The Miner's Wife. This is one series that has it all: drama, intense attraction, toad like villains, and two leads who find that love and survival must go hand in hand in these dire times." Sarah W., Fallen Angel Reviews

"Ever since reading The Miner's Wife, I have been waiting for the release of The Executive's Wife by Lara Santiago. It was all I wanted it to be and more. Full of highly erotic and emotionally hot sex, I fell in love with Matthew almost immediately. Talk about a true hero in helping a damsel in distress; I love how Matt took care to keep Sophie safe but allowed her wings to fly, even if just in the privacy of their home. I thought Sophie intelligent and unafraid and I found myself more than once cheering her decisions.
     The Executive's Wife ties in and relates to The Miner's Wife beautifully. I love how Lara Santiago has written this series and I can't wait for the third installment."  —Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed

STORY EXCERPT

 

Sophie didn’t want to die anymore. She was saved. Orin turned around to glare at her. One strand of hair had escaped the confines of the swirl plastered to his bald head and hung limply down the side of his face. The look he gave her after being defeated by Matthew Westland radiated pure waves of unrelenting rage.

Yeah, how dare she allow herself to be bid on by someone with more money, the nerve of her? The lock of greasy hair hanging unattractively to his chin made Sophie even more grateful he wasn’t about to be her–what was it the crazy new world order referred to this as?—her lord and master.

Orin looked the exact same way as he had on her first day of work. His nostrils flared in righteous indignation at having been thwarted by Matthew…again.

The auctioneer cleared his throat impatiently and motioned her off the stage urgently, as if she should hurry because he’d just made a bunch of money on her. She instead sauntered to the steps, earning his frown. She resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at him as she passed behind him on stage.

“If you would step over here, sir, we can officiate the contract,” the Tiberius representative said to Sophie’s future husband at the foot of stairs off the stage.

The contract of marriage these days had a whole different meaning. Promising to love and honor et cetera went by the wayside to be replaced by who got what percentage of funds spent for the bride being auctioned off.

Sophie’s worthless scum of a father, a sperm donor at best, got to have
