Review - Because by Jennifer Foor

Title: Because

Series: Seven Year Itch #4

Author: Jennifer Foor

Release Date: March 14, 2016

I’ve heard if you can make it through the first seven years of marriage you’ve made it past the tough part and it’s smooth sailing. 

Whoever said that was an idiot. 

I’ve been married for seven years, and in that time I’ve waited for my immature husband to grow up and become a responsible man. 

It still hasn’t happened, and I’m at the end of my rope. I need him to be a father to our child, not someone who needs his own toys to be content. 

I want a partner, not a guy more concerned about his friends than his wife. 

This is my marriage, and before I throw in the towel I’ve decided to do something drastic to make it happen. 

I’m Shayla Vincent and this is my story.

Wow, this was such an emotional, realistic story that, to be honest, I didn't think I was going to survive. I did, but barely!

Shayla and Brandon married at a young age; they knew they were it for each other yet, as the years went by, the life they envisioned was not really the one they were living. But let's be honest, how many of us can say that our lives have gone according to the way we planned it out? Not many, if any, and Shayla and Brandon can attest to that!

My heart went out to Shayla because her body has changed, and she feels self-conscious about it. The comments Brandon makes at times don't help either, even though he doesn't mean any harm by them. Oh, that Brandon—I wanted so many times to smack some sense into him before it was too late, but alas I was not able to, and he had to suffer the consequences. 

I honestly was getting frustrated with both of them, but mostly with Brandon, because he just could not grasp the severity of what was happening to his marriage and truly see it through his wife's eyes! 

Be ready to go on a roller coaster that many of us have probably ridden ourselves, some surviving, others not so fortunate. When you start reading this story, you will need to get comfortable, have your Kleenex handy, and have wine, coffee or any choice of beverage on hand, because you will want to know what happens to their marriage. Will it survive or will it fail?

Review - Belong by Jennifer Foor

Title: Belong

Series: Seven Year Itch #3

Author: Jennifer Foor

Release Date: November 23, 2015

Ten years ago I fell in love with a married woman. I walked away so she could be happy, moving across the country to make sure I put space between us. We severed ties, and I promised myself I wouldn't look back. 

Since then I committed to someone else, and we have a child and a life many would wish for. Except, it's never been enough for me. There's always been something missing; something I never wanted to admit.

With my own marriage failing, I'm forced to go back to my hometown to bury the man who raised me. I never expected to see her there, and nothing could prepare me for what would happen the moment my arms wrapped around hers again.

Belong is the story of the love that was never forgotten. 

Chad is an honorable man. He fell in love with Rachel and, upon recognizing it wasn’t the right time, he made the hardest decision of both of their lives and left. Years later, he married Veronica, had a little girl and moved on. Until his grandfather dies and he’s back to where it all began. His marriage is suffering, the death of his grandfather is weighing heavily on his mind, and Rachel is there. The ultimate love of his life. Being an honorable man, what is Chad to do? Chose the woman who’s always had his heart or stay with the woman he’s married to for the sake of his child? 

This book isn’t about affairs, even though on the surface it seems like it. This book is about love, honor, sacrifice and so much more. This book gave me the feels. It made me want to believe that love is out there for everyone. Maybe not in the most conventional of places and maybe you have to look for it, but it is there. It may be found in the words of an old man, or in the heart of a little girl or even in the way a woman recognizes and sacrifices for those she loves. 

I liked Chad. He seemed to be real and honest and someone any woman would be able to fall in love with. Veronica was not someone I liked at all. She attempted to make herself “better” in the end but I just couldn’t identify with her. Rachel was kind, generous, loving and self-sacrificing! 

This story is a real life story, the kind where feelings are involved, people get hurt and things don’t always work out… or do they? My only wish was that the ending was better. Now, it wasn’t bad, but it seemed so abrupt. But maybe that’s just me…

Blog Tour - Love's Suicide by Jennifer Foor

 

 Title: Love's Suicide
Author: Jennifer Foor
Release Date: February 26, 2014
 

My heart belonged to Branch and Brooks Valentine since we were children, when we were all too naïve to know what that even meant. We didn’t understand that when we became adults, love would change us. I had to make a choice and when I did, it ripped our bond apart. Brooks left town, and he took half of my heart with him. It was difficult, but I coped and planned my future with Branch. I thought I’d made the right decision. I loved him and I always had.

Brooks showed up to be our best man the night before our nuptials. After drinks and too much reminiscing, I ended up in bed with the wrong brother. To avoid the humiliation and the fact that I’d ruined all of our lives, I left Branch and the only family I’d ever known.

That’s where my story should have ended.

Almost three years, one beautiful little girl and an abusive marriage later, I was standing there staring at the man that would always hold my heart.

The only question was…

Would I give it to him

I’m Katy Michaels and this is my story.

5 HUGE Hearts!!

 

This is one of the best emotional books I have ever read! I've read quite a few that were good and that I would feel what the character was feeling most of the time, but this one.....  

 

Even when I wanted to hate Bobby, I was right there with Katy! Way to go Jennifer you NAILED IT! I cried too many times to even count during this story, it was so beautiful! Katy and Brooks go through absolute hell to get where they need to be and it just made them even stronger. The connection that they have from very young childhood all the way up was just so heartwarming.

 

Anyone that is looking for a great emotional read that will have you all over the place this is the PERFECT book!  I'm not going to sugar coat it there are some really dark times, where your gut clenches and you want to throw your kindle.  I yelled at mine more than once but what a tragically beautiful journey it was.  I'm really hoping for more of this group I just didn't want to let Brooks and Katy go!!
