Maggie Moone is happily divorced.

And with her talent for fixing things, she’s perfectly content with her mundane life in the sleepy English village of Saffron Sweeting. That is, until one humiliating March evening when she learns everyone else assumes she’d love to mend her broken marriage.

Determined to prove them wrong, Maggie and her friends concoct a list of ten ways to assert her independence and live large. But her mission to move on leads to unexpected encounters, and Maggie soon finds herself mixing business with pleasure. Is the attractive young Irishman just another item on her list, or is he something more?

Before long, unresolved issues from her past begin to clash, and Maggie is forced to wonder if antagonising her ex-husband was such a stellar idea.

No sooner does she begin to understand what’s important to her, than she stands to lose everything that truly matters.

This is the fourth in the collection of Saffron Sweeting romantic comedies, which can be read in any order. If you like gentle British humour and deliciously resilient heroines, you’ll love Ten Things My Husband Hated.

Warm and cozy read.

There is so much to love about TEN THINGS MY HUSBAND HATED and little, if anything, to dislike. The “war” between Maggie and Colin is as funny as it is serious. When Maggie decided to get even by getting under Colin’s skin, things were hilarious, until they weren’t. Did Maggie’s list cause her to lose someone who meant the world to her or would she be able to redeem herself in the eyes of the one she found she’d fallen for?
Maggie grew from a somewhat flaky, weak person who was still hanging on to her past to a strong, decisive woman who knew what she needed to do to become the new Maggie Moone. She displayed compassion and forgiveness for her ex and his new wife in place of her feelings of anger and jealousy. She learned to love for the real reason and when she realized this love, she blossomed. Maggie went through a lot of pain and a lot of growing up and nearly lost Finn, an earnest young Irishman. If I had to choose a favorite character it would be Finn. I loved his choices of what to do on a date.
There were quite a few supporting characters who were all as beautifully fleshed out as the main characters. The story moved smoothly and kept my interest. In fact, I couldn’t put this book down.

Absolutely British and Wonderful!

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019

From one of my favorite authors comes a new novel, TEN THINGS MY HUSBAND HATED. Like her previous books, this one, too, is set in the fictional village of Saffron Sweeting, a quintessentially English locale. If you’ve read any of Wiles’ other books (and you should!), you’ll recognize one or two characters and locations.
Mortified that others think she’s still hung up on her ex-husband, Maggie, along with her pals Amelia, Grace, and American Nancy, comes up with a list of things her ex hated. By checking these items off her list, she hopes to prove that she has truly moved on. But it’s hard to relinquish one’s entire past, especially in a small town like Saffron Sweeting.
This is women’s fiction that both sexes will enjoy. And while the writing is clever and witty, the story gets serious and delves deeper into emotions. The author is a brilliant writer and can paint a scene with words that will have you feel you’re right in the middle of the lovely village.
Highly recommended!

Loved the quirky, so British characters in this sweet read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019

Maggie is having trouble moving on from her divorce and her friends rally around to help her get out of her narrow rut. I liked all the "self doubt - over analysis - what if's" that are so very typical after being forced to divorce your partner. even if you weren't 100% into the relationship!
The characters are quirky, funny and believable. Easy to read, the time just flew! I hadn't read any of Pauline Wiles' books before but seeing as there is a whole series set in Saffron Sweeting, I'll be reading those as well!
P.S. I was given a free copy to review this book - and it was worth the effort!

Fourth Saffron Sweeting Novel, But They Can Be Read in Any Order

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2019

After each novel, I've been eager to return to he fictional English village of Saffron Sweeting and see which of its quirky inhabitants are included along with the new. The characters, old and new, are well developed and the stories have a lot going on.

This one, light-hearted and witty as all in the series, also has serious storylines that provide mystery and some tense moments. It is a well crafted story with characters readers can really care about. Let's hope Pauline Wiles doesn't keep us waiting too long for the next one!

A lovely escape

I’ve read all the Saffron Sweeting novels and enjoyed them all so I was excited to return to that quaint English village. The tale did not disappoint! It’s got charm, romance, a little bit of a mystery, and a hunky Irishman with a sexy laugh! If only I’d had some English baked goods or chocolate bars to go with it! I recommend at least enjoying it with a cup of tea!

A glimpse into English life...

I have always loved this series about Saffron Sweeting and have re-read it many times. It was good to see a new addition with mention of all the favorite characters! There is no great drama, but more of an invitation to peek into the every day life of simplicity. It is a relaxing retreat!

A sweet story set in a small village in England.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019

Ten Things My Husband Hated is about a woman, Maggie Moone, who is divorced but has not really moved on with her life. With the help of her friends, she makes a list of 10 things that would make her ex-husband crazy. As she tries to get on with her life, she methodically starts checking off the items on her list.

When I first started reading this book, it wasn’t holding my attention. The main character of Maggie was a bit wimpy for me. However, as the story moved on, she started getting stronger and I started enjoying the story more. I loved the character of Finn. He had me at the dream catcher scene which I won’t spoil for future readers of this story.

The village of Saffron Sweeting was another character in the book. You could easily see and feel the atmosphere of what it would be like to live in Saffron Sweeting. That tone, set the book up for a simple, but sweet story about new beginnings and love.

I wish the author had made the “list” meatier and more interesting. The story would have been so much better if Maggie had really committed herself to the list and tried to change her life. As it was, it felt like she was just stumbling into the situations that let her cross something off her list. Having said that, the author did pull the story together by the final quarter of the book, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 2.

Thank you to Library Thing and Pauline Wiles for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Laugh out load moments

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

I received a free copy from hidden gems in exchange for an honest review. I thought this story was funny and the
main character relate-able. She is so ready to prove that she is over her ex and the divorce that she ends up finding that maybe there is more to heal from then just a broken marriage. And maybe it wasn't love she had. This book is a coming of age, mystery, romance, and girl power novel all in one. I would recommend it

My favourite in the Saffron Sweeting series so far!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2019

I read 10 Things My Husband Hated in its entirety during a recent flight. I honestly didn’t want to put it down.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the books in the Saffron Sweeting series, but I think this is my favourite so far. I really felt connected with Maggie, and invested in her journey. There were some really good plot twists, and I loved how the story unfolded. It's the kind of book that leaves you feeling uplifted when you finish it - but sad to leave the characters behind.

Although it is part of a series, the books in the Saffron Sweeting series certainly don't have to be read 'in order'. The author has made it easy to immerse yourself in this gentle saga, no matter where you start. So if 10 Things My Husband Hated appeals, you could definitely read it first, and then read the rest of the series afterwards. I am certain you will want to!

A gentle, uplifting read, 10 Things My Husband Hated is perfect for anglophiles, immersing the reader in the life of a small fictional British village in East Anglia. Highly recommended.

A heart-warming read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2020

There are four books in the Saffron Sweeting series. I have read the first, and the last, and I loved them both.
It doesn't matter if you miss one, as each novel is complete on its own.

Ten Things my Husband Hated is a great read. You get a real glimpse into the typical village life in Britain.
I recognised the habits, how people interact with each other , and that wonderful sense of humour.

I loved Maggie, the main character. She's not perfect, she hasn't got it all together: she's beautifully vulnerable and kind. As a reader, you deeply care about what happens to her.

There were several unexpected twists in the plot which kept me wanting to read more.
When you really like a book, you don't want it to end. And that's how I felt while I was reading this novel.
And the end didn't disappoint.
A really great story.

Really enjoyed this book. It follows on from previous novels, so it's great to pick up with familiar characters and stories. But also it doesn't matter if you haven't read any of the others - it's just great escapism!
