Shel: Dude. She's got this power over me and once I sit down to read one of her books, I have the hardest time doing anything else. For instance, I started Soaring Friday morning before work. I worked, went to the homecoming game, and did a few loads of laundry. I stayed up late to read. I got up early to read and I read every spare second I had (apologies to my students for not grading their essays and my family for the house I did not clean) because I was completely sucked in to the story of Mickey and Amy. I absolutely loved that KA made Amy this wonderfully flawed woman. She did some effed up things, owned it, and went about making repairs to all of the damage she did. I loved her. I also enjoyed Mickey--he had that wonderful strong + gentle thing going for him. He wasn't too overbearing, he owned his flaws, and he was great for Amy. I loved them together. I also loved that KA took on the hefty and delicate task of having her characters manage a relationship in which they both had children and involved exes--a truly modern day Brady Bunch blending of people going on here. This series has all of the things I've come to love about Kristen Ashley's books: great characters, funny scenes, chemistry between the main characters, and an engrossing plot and I'm excited to see that there will be a third novel in this series. Until then I have a few more KA novels to tackle, thank goodness!
Court: She did so many jacked up things. And I think that is something that our heroine hasn't had if my memory serves---and I loved that too. She had some life learning to do, and she did a bunch of it prior to our story start...but I liked the journey we were taken on...her very own road to redemption. I liked how much she and Mickey went at it, in their own alpha male/not going to be a pushover female ways, and they brought it out in each other, only to make each other better people and stronger as a couple. They fought, they made up (ooh, lala) and then they got back to the business of being strong and sassy. I loved how much they flat out owned it when they messed up...and I loved how much the kiddos in each family strengthened the plot of this book, and then basically stole the show. If there were ever kids to get a series in the world of Magdalene...it's these! I absolutely devoured this one over my Thanksgiving holiday, and I think you should read it too. The heroine is 47 (I loved this) and she's getting her groove back. I know we can all relate to that no matter what age, so have some alpha male love for Mickey while she's doing it. Girl's got it going on... I loved this book, and thank you AGAIN to Kristen Ashley for making me love it and lose sleep over it. The best I can ask for in a book, and I get it every single time from her!
