Decree Absolute
Decree Absolute tells the story of two women and their tangled lives. The book stars Jessica Barron, a solicitor in Leeds, and Renée Arden, a successful business owner. Jessica specializes in divorce, which is ironic considering that the book opens with her going through a divorce. After finding out about the affair between her husband and the nanny, Jessica immediately files for divorce and gets rid of her nanny. This explains why she went to Renée, the owner of a nanny agency known as Home Solution. Renée is also going through relationship drama and is looking for somewhere else to stay. After discovering a few secrets her girlfriend has been trying to keep from her, Renée wants nothing but to be away from the woman who threw away all they had.

When Jessica mistakes Renée for an employee, the talented businesswoman decides to play along. These two women are off to a bad start with Jessica’s haughty and almost rude attitude. However, Renée makes her life so easy that a bond starts developing between them. The two women are soon spending more and more time together, and they can no longer hide their mutual attraction. You are going to love seeing Jessica work to gain control over her life. Aside from the affair, the husband had been reckless with money, which meant that Jessica had to work many hours to fund their extravagant lifestyle. She starts by spending more time with the children she was often away from as she slaved in the office. There is also the loss of her first husband and only true love, Damian, that she has to deal with.

Renée feels like a breath of fresh air for Jessica. Once she lets her in, it doesn’t take her long to realize that she is madly in love. Unlike what many would expect, Jessica doesn’t struggle with her drastic change in partner preference. She knows Renée is her safe place and enjoys spending all her free time with the woman who takes such good care of her children. This book comes with a flawless narration in addition to the lovable characters. The deception that disintegrates and intertwines the characters’ lives is epic, but no one would have guessed how much this would work in their favor.

Decree Absolute is a well-written story that holds your attention and keeps you turning the pages. Set in Leeds, this story takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the characters’ personal lives. The romance between Jessica brews slowly, but things escalate very fast once they are confident about their feelings. These two characters’ first meeting is comical, and it is surprising how well they get along a few weeks later. The kids are also adorable, and it is amazing how much they add to this story. Curious to see how Renée and Jessica’s love story ends? Read this book to the last page for this and more.

Brauer’s marriage of convenience to David Granger, a property entrepreneur, is about to end, and it seems that their plans are not going to materialize. There are also other things troubling her mind. After their father’s sudden passing, Braer feels so guilty about their last conversation, which pushes her to explore new arts opportunities. After the artist’s block that has been going on for far too long, Braer feels it is time to get out of her comfort zone. This is how she meets Ariana.
