** I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**Since I first read Restraint, Erica Chilson has turned into that author that I get so excited for the next release. Let me just say Widow did not disappoint. We got glimpses of Clover and Malcolm in Good Girl, never the full story only what Willow, Ren or Auggie knew. Seeing life from their POV changes everything I thought I knew. AND I LOVE IT! Widow is not a stand alone and Good Girl is a must read before reading Widow. Widow takes place at the same time as Good Girl, but no worries Erica has this magic that she can write without ever having repetition or overlapping with her scenes.Clover takes care of everyone else. She is the true backbone of her family. She's raising twin teenagers. She cares for her parent's. She is a widow, losing her husband to cancer. She's not appreciated by anyone least of all her son. She's just so tried. She has secrets and she's made mistakes. But she owns what she has done in the past, owns who she is today.Malcolm takes care of what is his, it's the John Mason way. He's the police chief, father of 4 teenage children. He's a widower, losing his wife. He craves affection. He's made mistakes. He has secrets. He doesn't understand raising a teenage girl.When he asks for help with Rae, and Clover acts for advice with Seth the back and forth between them is hysterical. Seeing the lengths Malcolm will go to to get Clover's attention had me cracking up. There was so much real emotion in this book. What I mean is the things that happen, could happen is real life. It maybe fiction but its real emotions that get pulled out while reading and I think it was written so beautifully. Erica takes you through it all. I laughed, I cried, I swear I could feel the pain and angst right along with the main characters.While Malcolm is truly one of my favorite Alpha males now, I will always have a soft spot for Ren and to be able to see him with Malcolm, watching him truly fall for Willow from that man's POV was honest and real. If this book could go on forever it wouldn't be enough for me. I am so greedy, I want more! The last chapter had me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait to find out what happens.AMAZING MUST READ!!*Wicked Reads Review Team*
