Book #20: Three Mrs. Greys, Shelly Ellis

One wealthy businessman, a trio of unsuspecting wives, and an explosive turn of events. In this scandalous, twist-filled new series from award-winning author Shelly Ellis, will too many secrets and one devastating bond unite three women--or destroy them?

Noelle. Diamond. Vanessa. Each woman believes she is Cyrus Grey's only wife--until he's nearly shot to death. Now, as he lies in a coma, the deceptions keep coming, unraveling everything they thought they knew...

Gorgeous model Noelle's marriage to Cyrus anchored her--though she couldn't understand why he wouldn't have a baby with her. They certainly had the money. But she's learning fast just how Cyrus became so rich--thanks to his fatally attractive business partner...

For Diamond, marrying Cyrus saved her from the streets--and being a pimp's punching bag. But her past makes her the police's prime suspect in Cyrus' shooting. She's determined to get to the truth--if she can survive long enough to tell it...

Even with her beautiful house, three kids, and elegant lifestyle, Vanessa sensed something was wrong in her marriage. But she never expected this--or that taking a lover for comfort would change the game completely. 

With danger closing in, Cyrus' life hanging in the balance, and collateral damage threatening to take them all down, how far will each woman go to be the real Mrs. Grey?

 Discussion Questions 

 

1)    Each wife has a different response when she discovers that Cyrus is a bigamist. Vanessa reacts with anger, Noelle with confusion, and Diamond immediately assumes there is a good explanation for the other wives’ existence. What do the differing reactions indicate about each wife and her personality?

2)    Cyrus is able to manipulate others because he understands what they want and in particular, what they want out of him. Based on how each wife describes him, what role do you think he served for them respectively?

3)    Even though Diamond claims she wants to get as far away from her old lover Julian, she still answers his calls and meets him when he asks her to. Is it just bad decision making or conditioning that makes her do this?

4)    What would you say is the catalyst or tipping point for each woman when they finally decide to “move on” from Cyrus? Did they all reach that tipping point? Who didn’t and why?

5)    Vanessa went from anger at her husband’s betrayal to forming a plan to murder him with her lover Bilal. What do you think is the likelihood of her plan’s success? 

6)    What do you think of Cyrus’s response to Tariq’s revelation in the last chapter? What do you think will be his next move?

7)    Do you think Noelle will eventually discover the truth about the two men in her life?
