Excerpt
Will leans back heavily in his desk chair and sweat pricks the back of his neck. A tight band squeezes his chest, but he manages to ask, “What do you mean we can get divorced? Did Frankie and his new bride call it quits?”
Eleanora’s throaty chuckle comes through the phone. “No, darling. They’re still madly in love for now. It’s Romeo Molinaro we have to thank for this piece of good fortune.”
Will frowns, mind scrambling through dozens of half-forgotten or never-known relatives.
“Zeno’s favorite nephew,” Eleanora prompts.
“Oh. Right.”
Zeno is the current boss of the Molinaro family, his father’s uncle, and a terrifying man.
“Unfortunate marriages are going around like the flu in this family. It seems Romeo got hitched to a fetching ragazza. Charming, beautiful, young—the usual. But, as it turns out, also a spy from the Korotayev crime family in New York.” Nonna clucks over the line. “Oh, men. Following the dictates of their little heads always leads to their downfall.”
Bright sunshine screams through the window of the room, ricocheting around and giving Will an instant headache. “If she’s a spy, why arrange a divorce? Why doesn’t Zeno just—” Will drags his finger over his throat even though Nonna can’t see him. “Off her?”
“How like your father!” Eleanora puffs her disapproval. “No, no, darling. That’s no solution. Besides, Romeo begged his father not to kill her. Apparently he’s still smitten. But don’t worry. There will be some other kind of recompense paid, I’m sure. William, the less we know about it all, the better.”
Will exhales slowly. He stands up, turns to the windows behind his desk, and adjusts the blinds, dimming the light. “Romeo’s still in love with her? But he’s going to divorce her anyway?”
“Presumably. Regardless, Zeno’s quote-unquote discovered a loophole in the Trust that smashes through the edict regarding love matches and divorces.”
“Dad knew about this the whole time he was in town, didn’t he? He was just messing with us.”
“We’ll never know for sure, darling. All I know is he told me about Romeo’s situation and Zeno’s solution this morning before his flight out. Regardless, the issue is resolved. You and your doctor are free to handle your marriage as you see fit and Good Works is safe.”
Will stomach knots hard, and he stares at the lines of light the closed blinds leave on his desk. “We could file for divorce immediately? Today?”
“You could. That is, if it’s still what you want to do.”

Review: Each book in the Wake Up Marrie collection features Will and Patrick. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
When I first started reading Will and Patrick’s story I thought it was really cute and funny as hell. However, after the fifth book I was ready to just drop the whole series. It just got old to me focusing on the two same men. I would have rather it been made two long stories than six novellas. Although I am glad that they got their happily ever after.
Will is still an idiot to me though. He has finally realized that his husband is for him. Now his family is behind them. Although, I still don’t much care for their strange attitudes. Owen is an even bigger idiot than Will and I wanted to throw him out the window. Whereas Ryan, who makes another appearance is the perfect character to truly hate.
Patrick is still my favorite, but even he was getting on my nerves a bit. Even though I felt bad for the way he was treated. Nona has finally found a way for these two to divorce, but now they have changed their minds. Will is taking the advice of Owen and is thinking divorce is the answer. Just as Patrick is telling him those three little words that should make one happy, Will is breaking his heart.
I am glad to say that these two do get their happily ever after. I just wished it hadn’t taken six books to find it. The story is well written and there is quite a bit of humor in it that makes it even better to me. It doesn’t hurt that the sex is hot and very wild. I loved the guys and I am glad that they finally end up with their true hearts standing out there.
But I am damn glad this series is over.
I would definitely recommend it though, especially if you love two sexy men and some crazy family members.
I need this series!
