already out

Annie and Orion Oh have been married for over 27 years. He is psychologist , and she is an artist. Annie has been with men and women. She is divorcing Orion and going to marry Vivica

Marissa, Andrew, and Ari are their children and we see their Point fo Views along with with their parents, and some other people that they know.

This book was their train of thought along with many memories , and the experiences that they are going through. I enjoyed Annie and Orion point of views and i could see the love between them. I didn't see the love between Annie and Vivica at all. This was a depressing book.

Have you ever read an author and wanted to read them again ?? Wally Lamb is my author, and I read every other book by him since I was introduced to him through Oprah's Book club. I have come to realize that his books are depressing. There was so much put into this book from abuse, gay marriage, faith. There was some political through out the book. This book was sad, and I think the message got lost with all the point of views.

Book Review= D

Thanks so much to Harper and this is my honest review

Marked men #4
out now

Nash is dealing with the loss , and Phil's health is failing him. Nash gets the opportunity to get another shop running with his friends.

Saint is a girl that Nash used to know in high school. She also has self esteem issues, and has had some bad relationships. She is working at the hospital , and helps Nash through this time. She also becomes friends with Royal , who is Nash's neighbor. I liked her a  lot and I want her to find love.
During this book a marriage happens, a baby comes, and Nash finds love. I have been wanting to learn more about this man, and OMG loved the description for his tattoo.

This was a book that I could relate to Saint because my high school experience was bad.  The book seemed like it was  contrived situation, but I still enjoyed the sexy times. This has becomes of my favorite book series. I love that this family of friends will always be there for each other. I admit I do enjoy seeing Asa, and Rowdy. I enjoy seeing this crew. Rule, Rome are my fave brothers. Nash's book is my next favorite.

May 14 2014

Cady is in love with Gat , and her family always comes to a beach house each summer. She downed and found only in a camisole and bra and underwear . Her 15th summer is a blur. She has been taking medication for some time.
She is back to the summer beach house for her 17th summer and finally able to see her friends , and family. Many of her family members have left or dead, so many of them never speak of them again. Many things happen during her 15th and 17th summer.

This book was interesting  and through out it had story tales of 3 girls and their adventures. It also reminded me or King Lear. I went into this story apprehensive because of the title and also because she was taking medications. I have learned to wary of certain narrators and trusting them. I did enjoy having the mention of Wuthering Heights & Heathcliff. I did enjoy the romance that did happen through out the book. I also enjoyed seeing family and the littles.

I finished this book very quickly and my mind is still blown from this book. It was also a mystery to figure out what happened the 15th summer. This is also my first time reading this author . I do think that this will be one of the best books of 2014. This is one book reread again .

Book Review= B+

Clarissa is serving on a jury , and is being stalked by Rafe. She realizes that she is a lot like the victim that she is listening too. During the book, we see her past relationship and what is going with her life. She receives pictures in the mail of herself. She also starts hanging out with someone new. This book took a while to finish , and there were some things I questioned. I didn't think that she was reliable as a narrator.

Nina is an actress, and she wants to make it big. Luke doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. Leigh and Paul both are on a date, and they meet up with Luke. This is taking place in London in the 1970's.

Leigh and Paul began dating, and Luke ends up living with them. Luke and Leigh do have an attraction, but they don't act on it because of their friendship with each other. Nina ends up married, but she has issues with her husband.

Luke ends up writing a play , and really wants Nina to star in it. They end up dating even though she is married. Luke also has a fallout with Paul.

Let's get it out there ...There was a lot of cheating, and I am NOT a fan of it. I loved learning about Luke and Leigh at different times, but I wanted to smack him for poor choices. Luke also had some family issues brought up , along with Nina. This  book was a fast read, and I noticed that Luke & Leigh & Paul were a nice threesome , but this wasn't sexual at all. I could see this as a movie too.

Everyone has something to say about Alice. There are 3 point of views who are telling us about Alice, and what happened on 1 night. They are Kelsie, Elaine, and Kurt. They all share their feelings on Alice, and that night and their thoughts afterwards. This book was amazing, and its so true that rumors can take a life of their own. I am still thinking over this book.
