Every Woman Needs a Wife

By Naleighna Kai

Book Overview

Bursting with originality and controversy, author Naleighna Kai has created a provocative, and at times heartwarming tale about an age-old problem that will strike a chord with all women.

Every Woman Needs a Wife is the hilarious, but thought-provoking story of a wife who does the "unthinkable." Strolling in on Vernon and his mistress one night, Brandi Spencer insists that the new woman in his life come home and earn her keep the honest way -- on her feet helping the wife clean the house, keep the children and pay the bills, instead of laying on her back servicing the husband.

Tanya Kaufman has had one shock too many -- one minute she's a fianc e, the next she finds out she's been the mistress all along. When Tanya shows up during the surprise anniversary party to take Brandi up on her offer, the women seize the opportunity to teach Vernon that infidelity will no longer come at the expense of the women's time, money, and happiness. Vernon fights back by launching a high-profile court battle that doesn't have a thing to do with splitting the money, keeping the house, or visitation rights.

Had any married couple ever fought for custody of...the mistress?

THIS WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL READ.ALL OF MY BOOK CLUB MEMBERS GAVE IT OUR HIGHEST RATING.

The Best Revenge!

Have you ever had the feeling that the person you loved was cheating on you? Brandi Spencer started to become suspicious of her husband Vernon of thirteen years. Well her suspicions became fact when she decided to follow him one day. She tracked him all the way to his mistress' house Tanya Kaufman. Tanya had no idea that she was a mistress, but thought that she was Vernon's fiancé! Little did Tanya know, her little happy world was about to come crashing down with the knock on the door. When Brandi confronts Tanya and Vernon, her actions surprises her as well. Since Vernon is taking care of Tanya with the money they've worked so hard for, why shouldn't she reap some of the benefits. Things get ugly when Brandi wants full custody of the girls...and the mistress! Every Woman Needs a Wife is a book I would suggest every woman should read. It'll make you laugh, and there are some parts of the book that gets on the serious side, but all in all it was an excellent book. If you have a vivid imagination, this is the book for you. We all know someone in the same situation as Brandi, Tanya or Vernon. The book keeps your attention from beginning to end, and will have you saying to yourself "Oh no he didn't!!" Every Woman Needs a Wife is a must read! Reviewed by Jackie for Urban Reviews

Don't pass this one up

I just finished reading "Every Woman Needs a Wife" by Naleighna Kai and I'm here to tell you it's a romp from cover to cover. I laughed out loud at this odd and lively story then - just when I thought the author had exhausted her repertoire her characters came out with something so horrifying, so appalling their revelations shocked the laughter off my lips; then right in the middle of that Ms. Kai slipped in something absolutely hilarious. Full of laughter and tears, rife with twists and surprises, EVERY WOMAN NEEDS A WIFE is a literary roller coaster ride that deserves every reader it can get. I highly recommend it despite its flagrant need of a good copyeditor.

Outstanding as Usual!!!!

Naleighna Kai has outdone herself again!!! This book was as good as it the title sounds! You won't be able to put it down!

I Want a Wife Too!!

Lawd ha'mercy!! Brandi Spencer discovered that her husband is having an affair and instead of flipping out on him, she flips the script and moves the woman into their house to help with everything. From the beginning, you can't hate Tanya, the mistress. Her tale alone was worth a book by itself. What she endured, no one should ever have to go through. Likewise, Brandi had had her share of sorrow, and once they discover their common bond (other than Brandi's sorry-a husband, Vernon), it lays the foundation for them to truly become friends. Vernon, desperate to get his wife back and his mistress out of his house, pulls a stunt that could be fatal for everyone, especially his wife and children. As the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I loved the original concept of this book. And it is true, every woman does need a wife. Someone at home who can do the cooking, cleaning, scheduling, laudry, picking up the dry cleaning, whatever, leaving you to pursue your career or whatever you are in to. Those mundane things take up a lot of time that could be better spent doing something else. I thought Naleighna Kai did an excellent job telling this story, even though in a couple of places I wanted to say, ENOUGH ALREADY!! However, by the end of the book, I was flipping the pages, waiting with bated breath to see how it would all end. I loved it!! Good job, Naleighna. I look forward to reading your next book!
