She believes in working hard, loves her brother unconditionally, and has no time in her busy life for a certain cocky playboy, who has obviously never been denied a thing in his life.

Dana Campbell has spent the past seven years in self-imposed isolation for a crime she didn't commit. The danger is well in the past, but her panic attacks make it impossible to have a normal, healthy relationship with a man. Even her counselor has given up on her. She has to find someone she trusts to help her fight through the panic, or her seven-year ordeal will become a lifetime sentence. There's only one man she feels safe enough to ask.

Story
Logan Jackson is all tattoos, beard, and swagger. With his devilish looks and unrepentant charm, he's a danger to my tattered heart. Especially when he makes it clear, I'm the one he wants. It doesn't matter how desperately I'd like to give in to the heated promises in his dark eyes or how my heart always stutters in his presence. I have to think about my son and giving him the life he deserves. But I underestimated the sheer determination Logan has to break down my walls brick by brick. The closer we become, the harder it gets to keep the past from intruding.

Arden Weathers is a girl on a mission, and that mission most certainly doesn't involve Brody Blastoviak, the hometown hottie who made her college prospects go boom six years ago. Tool-toting billionaire Brody Blastoviak knows better than to stick his you-know-what into crazy. So why is he losing his cookies over Arden Weathers, the uptight chemistry partner who "accidentally" torched his truck back in high school? Now, older and wiser, these former classmates are supposedly on the same team - working to restore a crumbling beach house that both of them want to claim as their own.

Being traded to Dallas was a dream come true. I had everything I wanted, my game had never been better, and my wife was due to have our baby any day now. What could go wrong? Everything. I was now raising our baby on my own. After hockey practice and games, I didn't have time to sleep, let alone make sure my social media was up to par. I never thought I'd get a second chance at love.

Story
Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

At 18, I walked away from Willow Creek Valley for good. I was young, scared, and stupid, and it cost me the love of my life - Grayson Parkerson. Fourteen years later, a crash sends me back home to recover. Back to where we met, fell in love, and planned a future. Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine. I’m not the girl I was - intimidated by his wealthy family and desperate to escape our small town. How can I convince him to give first love a second chance?

He's sexy. He's southern. And he won't stop showing up at my door half naked. Meet Elijah Jackson, my hot new neighbor...Charleston, South Carolina: Home to stunning architecture, sultry accents, and - oh yeah - my perpetually shirtless neighbor, Elijah Jackson. As if his abs for days and inked up deliciousness aren’t enticing enough, he also encourages me to chase down my dreams. And the chemistry between us? Hotter than the kitchen at Eli’s restaurant. But I still have a life a thousand miles away. One I’ve worked really hard to build.

Summary
USA Today best-selling author Bethany Lopez brings you her breakout series about getting a second chance at love later in life. Follow Whitney, Summer, Margo, Charlotte, and Andi as they experience the good, bad, and ugly of dating again in their 30s and 40s. Join them in The Jilted Wives Club.
When your first shot of love curdles, switch to a nice Cabernet.
Charlotte never imagined she’d be a single mom in her 30s. With a fulfilling job, a sweet toddler, and a supportive family, she knows she should be counting her blessings, but it feels like something is missing...her.
Although he and Charlotte made a marriage pact when they were teenagers, Damon always knew he’d never get married. An architect and artist, his life is full, and there has never been room for more than casual affairs. But lately, he’s felt like something is missing.
When they find themselves alone in Italy, the food, wine, culture, and gorgeous countryside become the backdrop of a passionate affair. In the midst of finding themselves, they found each other.
But when reality sets in, can they make this vacation romance into something that lasts, or will they be left with nothing but memories and a nice Cabernet?

A fairly gentle and entertaining adult romance
A nice romance with a fairly true-to-life "should I or shouldn't I?" situation, and a cast of plausible characters with what came across as realistic relationships from the backstory we don't need. The whole thing flows nicely. I mean, you know how it'll end already, don't you? The fun is sharing their journey as an invisible witness, and I think it's fair to say the scenery Bethany's story caused my imagination to conjour up was colourful and entertaining.

Charlotte and Damon
Charlotte and Damon
This is a great addition to the Jilted Wives Club series. I see it as a second chance story even though it’s their first time as a couple. The romance of Italy was a great scene setter. It’s time these two found love for each other and I especially loved how they discovered they were both at the same house. The narration could be more defined as if you are not closely paying attention you can not tell who’s talking. I do recommend this story and series.

Charlotte & Damen!
I was so excited to see Charlotte getting her own book! After a horrible divorce, she joined the Jilted Wives Club. She is doing whatever she can to keep her daughter happy and start her new life. There is no room for a relationship. When she goes to Italy to get away for a while, she doesn't know it's a setup by her mother. Damen is there. Her brother's best friend and the man she made a pact with during high school to marry at 35 if they are not married, these two have off the chart's chemistry. But is that enough to start a relationship? Could their childhood pact really be the answer to their hearts? Love Damen! He knew years ago what he wanted and biding his time may prove to be worth it. Charlotte is hesitant, not only for herself, but telling her brother and deciding what is best for her daughter. Totally can understand her feelings. And we get to see all the members of the club and enjoy their advice! It's a fun addition to the series.
Caitlyn Porayko tells us this story with perfect voices and an emotional heart tugging. Including some laughter and banter, she easily falls into each character and creates an enjoyable listen.

Wonderful continuation of series
I am enjoying this series by Bethany Lopez. This is a standalone romance but you do feel an investment in the characters before starting this book if you start at the beginning of the series. I love the low drama of the characters and relationship. It had a great HEA.
Caitlyn Porayko is a new to me narrator. She has an easy to listen to voice. She doesn't attempt to vocalize much of the male characters. I think it's only when the male character is speaking that she lowers her voice. I did get lost a few times, after being distracted, because of this.

Great Read
Backup Wife (The Jilted Wives Club #4) was a great read by Bethany Lopez. Charlotte is a member of the Jilted Wives Club. She never thought she would be a single mom in her thirties. Damon and Charlotte made a marriage pact when they were teenagers. He knew that he would never get married, but lately has felt like something is missing in his life. They find themselves set up by her mom and alone in Italy. They start a passionate affair while on vacation but reality quickly sets in and they don’t know if it will last. I loved reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
