Exceptional |

This was a lovely book. It's rare when an author can come up with a truly unusual plot. This was different from genre romances in many wonderful ways. I highly recommend it. |

OK...wow |
I was very supprised by this book. I did not really expect a whole lot, to tell you the truth. I started it at about 7 in the evening and did not put it down until i finished it at 4 in the morning. I cried, a lot. It might have been the time (4am can be an emotional time apparently) but i was so suprised at how well Megan Hart was able to portray emotion. This is really one of the most touching and real stories i have read. I would have loved the book even without the graphic scenes. There was a real depth to the main charactor. I was totaly bowled over by this unexpected new favorite.
Just incase you are still reading this; The story starts out, interestingly enough, with a bedroom scene. Only as that scene ends do you find out that it is a retelling. The main charactor, Sadie, is a psychologist with a quadrapalegic husband who has struck up an unlikely and strange relationship with a man named Joe. You only know Joe through his stories of illicit affairs, one night stands, and hot encounters which he eloquently relays to our main charactor. These two people meet once a month. The rest of the time is filled in with Sadie's life as the wife, lover, and care giver for her quadrapalegic husband.
There were several conversations that took place in this book that i was able to relate to: Sadie's converstation whith her mother about how she (Sadie) needs to talk to her sister and help take care of her because Sadie is not the daughter she needed to worry about but the sister needed looking after. Sadie's converstaion with her sister where she explains her life and all of its unpleasantries and her sister finaly gets an idea of what Sadie has had to go through with her injured husband. The heart wrenching arguments with her husband that leave Sadie broken. (well titled book, by the way)
The greatest thing about this book was it was not about sex. It was about a woman who had a real life, who had real temptations, and who had real feelings. I like finishing reading something and feeling good about my life not wishing I had that charactors "happily ever after" life. This is not a "happily ever after" book. But it is one that is worth reading. |

Not enough stars available |
I couldn't put this book down. I think I read it in 2 days!! I loved that it had a great story line, plus the erotic part of it. It even makes you cry. I have let so many people read it and everyone of them have loved it. I've read the other 2 books in the series 2 and loved them as much.
There aren't enough stars to give this book.
Very wellt done! |
