Surprise Cover Reveal!!!

On October 31, it's about to get AWKWARD again...

25 Authors, Awkward Sex, Epic Cause Holidays conjure up many thoughts- long, chilly nights, snuggled up by the fire, bare feet tucked under the one you love. Some are hallmarks of summer when skin is warmed by more than the sun. There is the after Thanksgiving dinner nightcap, as the smooth, sultry burn of whiskey warms your chest, rendering your limbs heavy or include lazy kisses and wandering hands beneath your best dress on a romantic Valentine's Day date.

But sometimes, Grandma gets boozed up and passes out at the table, your brother gets caught rubbing one out under the fireworks, your kids catch mommy kissing Santa (and not on the lips), your special new toy winds up in the wrong gift bag, a goat steals and wears your sexy new thong and watching the ball drop takes on a whole new meaning. In other words, the holidays can be magical, but sometimes, they're also just f*cking awkward.  

Watch the trailer!

Synopsis

The bestselling Forever Family Series concludes with this emotionally gripping story. Follow the lives of two incredible people as they battle their way through many years of heartache, loss and love. This story will take you on an epic journey that spans almost 20 years.

I've known her since the third grade.
I've loved her since our teen years.
But her heart belonged to my best friend. 

Juliet Oliver was adopted at birth and has always struggled with this fact. She's been emotionally detached from everyone in her entire life, except for one person. He's been the one source of support, love and encouragement. 

Seth Tyson has had his share of painful relationships. He's constantly battling with his own demons, led by issues at home. 

Blurb:
I lost her. 
I thought she was the love of my life.
She was everything I needed. Everything I wanted.
She made me forget about my past. My family.
She made me feel real.
How do I move on from her? 
Will I find someone like her?
It’s time to pick up the pieces.
But can I?
I’m Seth Tyson and this is my story. 
~~~
I deserve a happily ever after, don’t I?

This is Seth's story and his quest to find his happily ever after.

My Thoughts - Story
After some deep thought, I had to lower my rating because I didn’t connect with this book as deeply as I had for the first two.

I was expecting a story where we learn more about Seth and his search for a happily ever after. Instead this book is about his past with Juliet (as a friend). Maybe if the book was only about half of their past and then working toward a deeper relationship with each other, it may have deserved the 4.5 stars but instead they wait till the story is almost over.

Now don’t get me wrong – I did enjoy the story and all the angst written throughout the story.

Re-Cap
At the end of book 2, we left Seth closing the chapter of his life with Tabitha and wishing for his own happily ever after.

Now we transgress to the past and learn about Seth and Juliet’s childhood. How these two should have been together but such as life…shit happens.

Would Read More from Author? Yes

This is my round up for March

I think my favorite was Marissa Meyers short story "The Little Android".

The one that made me think of it way after I was done reading was "Arsen"

"It's beautiful but so tragic."

 

I can't explain this story any better then that quote from the book.

You have two woman. Carly & Tabitha. The book goes back and forth from Past & Present Carly and Tabitha. So you can see what's brought them together.

While I found some of this very touching, there were parts I just had a hard time with, choices people made that I myself couldn't make.

I'm looking forward to the next book called Dear Tabitha.
