Affairy Tale by C. J. English

     Whenever I get a book, I usually look up the author on a few sites and see what other's have said, so I can have an idea of what to expect.  I found nothing but good things on C. J. English, the author of Affairy Tale. 

​     So I checked out Youtube, where the book trailer was posted and loved it.  Then I opened the book and found scripture from Leviticus 20.  It gave me goosebumps- I don't know why!  I guess the severity of the book's situation and the fact that this book is a memoir just blew me away!  I was geared up for a good read.  I was not disappointed.

     C. J. is in search of an adventurous love.  A love that keeps her panting at night and grinning like the Cheshire Cat during the day.  She knows that's exactly what she'd have in Grant, but she marries Levi... because it's the right thing to do for her daughter's life and healthy upbringing.  

     Against everything in her being, she marries the father of her child.  And regrets it.  She dreams of the man she wants but subsists with debilitating regret with the one who was the prudent
choice.  They argue, fuss, fight and humiliate each other before family and friends.  It's difficult but so worth the time she steals with Grant.  And it changes everything!

     This book made me see so much about myself.  I easily saw me in C.J.'s shoes.  The story is well written because it's so real!  I felt so bad for C.J. even though she made the choice to marry Levi- causing the entire situation, but I can't say much more than that because I believe in NO SPOILERS!  

     What I will say is that if you love memoirs and a steamy love affair that didn't go anywhere near as far as I thought it would have,   I admire a story like that.  This is an pleasant, exciting and riveting read.  I will tell you,
if you want a nice read that gives you an ending that's totally sweet and worth the wait, read Affairytale.  It's not your usual tale of romance.  Not at all! 
Off to my next book!
