Tony and Amber have been together for thirteen years and three rambunctious, needy sons. Money is tight, Tony works too much, and Amber feels like she's disappearing under the strain of managing home and family with no outlet for herself. They're both miserable, but both want to find a way to keep t...
I don't think I've felt more relatable to a character in a book than I do with Amber. I had tears in my eyes at times because I know exactly what Amber is going through & how she's feeling. I am Amber. Not only do I have so much in common with her (married 10yrs , 2 boys) but, I've been where she is...
4.5 StarsIn Making It Last by Ruthie Knox, Amber Mazzara is in Jamaica for her brother’s wedding. She might not even have attended if her brother had not insisted on paying for the airfare and the hotel for her and her family. Her husband works hard, but with three kids and a big mortgage things are...
This book is part of a trend I am calling mid-marriage books in romance. Books like Summer in Sonoma, Under the Mistletoe, and Alone Time. All very good. These aren't really marriage on the rocks books (although they might take place in rough patches) or reconciliation books but more about the dee...
This isn't at all a traditional romance novel. It follows a couple (Amber and Tony from the novella that started the series--I know, WTF with those names) who have been married more than ten years, and they're struggling, and they have three boys, and Amber tends to spend a lot of her time crying a...
This was good, but definitely not fluffy. Very heavy subject matter. Having been married for almost 20 years, I could identify with their circumstances somewhat. Though I've never been a SAHM -- I'm the breadwinner in my family. I can imagine feeling consumed by your family's needs to the point that...
A nice change of pace to see very well-written married sex. Well-written and hot. Amber & Tony are married with kids and mortgages and jobs and family and LIFE. Really lovely story - with lots of substance - about reconnecting amidst years of marriage & the stress of everything mentioned above.
5 stars. And a (hug) for Ruthie Knox for being so amazing.You can see this review (and lots of others) on Fictionators.I have to admit that I haven't read any of the other books in the Camelot Series, but that is something that I am going to remedy right away. I asked the lovely Eleanor if I could ...
Making It Last was a kind of introspective reading, but at the same time, I thought it was nice the author bring all those conflicts to the table. We love happy endings on ours books because life is already so tough, we want some 'peace', you know what I mean? But again, it was nice because she show...
More than romance novels, what I really love are stories of people making it work. MAKING IT LAST packs a punch within its short frame, delving into the mindset of a middle-aged woman, exhausted from caring for her children and rarely seeing her husband who is too busy sustaining their expenses. Bot...
