Reading this book almost killed me. What do you get when you combine cheating, love triangle, insta-love, and unnecessary drama? I’m pretty sure my angst meter just shot up.

Aside from the writing – both evocative and provocative – I honestly can’t say anything else stood out to me in a positive way. Besides the heart-clutching angst, this book also has one of the worst cases of insta-love I’ve ever read. The moment Kamryn and Brody meet, rainbows shine and world peace is achieved. Bec ...more

First time reading Mcadams and based on glowing reviews of her mastery at weaving heartrending love triangles I expected.......something more, instead I got an unremarkable story.

It boggles that this is based on a true story and while it's not my place to judge, I don't see an upside to infidelity rather it has a direct correlation to how much YOU love YOURSELF.

Books about cheating SOBs used to be deal-breakers for me, but then I started reading some books that actually handled the subject with care and complexity, portraying the characters in a complex light with nuance. One I read recently is a historical fiction novel called BELOVED ENEMY that involves a love triangle between the heroine, the hero, and the other woman, who is basically the hero's common-law wife. Rather than being infuriated, I ...more

I don’t even know where to start with this book. Sharing You was one of the worst books I have ever read. I know a lot of people have a love/hate relationship with Molly McAdams’ books and after reading this one, I can certainly see why.

I knew going into this one that it was about cheating and that I have issues with cheating. However, I had just finished another book about cheating that was done rather tastefully and didn’t feature any physical cheating. I hoped for a similar type of story with Sharing You but that was so not the case. Sharing You was completely tasteless when it came to the cheating aspect and it played a huge role in the story. I kid you not, the two main characters were sleeping with each other within a few weeks of meeting each other, all while one of them was married. I get that you can be unhappy in your relationship but that is no excuse for cheating. How hard is it to get a freaking divorce before you start sleeping with some random chick you just met?

Also, let me tell you about the worst case of insta-love ever. Yeah, it’s in this book. Kamryn and Brody bump into each other in the hallway and are immediately drawn to each other and neither of them even know why! They can’t explain it and they don’t even try to. They just immediately decide they have to be together even though Brody is married. I could not even understand why they were together. As the book progressed I continued to wonder what it was they saw in each other. It never became clear to me.

As for the whole horrible, manipulative wife situation; it got old really fast. Molly McAdams painted Olivia as this horrible villain that nobody could possibly like and I guess she figured that that would help readers justify the fact that Brody cheated on her. It didn’t. Brody kept saying he was going to leave Olivia but that she was depressed and suicidal and he couldn’t leave her until he got her help. Then he decided that she was just manipulative and he was going to leave her without getting her help. Then he decided not to leave her because she really did need help. This went on and on and on. The book could have been so much shorter if Brody would have just made up his mind to leave Olivia.

Oh and don’t even get me started on Kamryn. She was the whiniest, neediest, most annoying character ever. All she did was cry. Holy crap I have never read a book with more crying. And it was always over the same things. Brody had to go home to Olivia, she didn’t get to spend enough time with Brody, she couldn’t tell anyone about her and Brody, etc. Maybe if you weren’t sleeping with a married man you wouldn’t have these problems. I felt absolutely no sympathy for her. She was just annoying to read about.

Overall, I’m amazed I even finished Sharing You. I honestly can’t tell you why I kept reading. There is nothing about this book to redeem it. I wouldn’t recommend this even if you had nothing else to read. Skip this one and try something else by Molly McAdams. ...more

I originally had this marked as DNF after 4 chapters, but I really hate not finishing a book, so after stewing it over for a few hours, I returned to it.

First of all, what initially made me not want to finish it was the fact that the two main characters, Kamryn and Brody, saw each other for the first time and just knew they had to be together.

*gag*

After meeting, they run into each other a couple of times, but keep feeling this pull toward each other even though they have said maybe 5 words to I originally had this marked as DNF after 4 chapters, but I really hate not finishing a book, so after stewing it over for a few hours, I returned to it.

First of all, what initially made me not want to finish it was the fact that the two main characters, Kamryn and Brody, saw each other for the first time and just knew they had to be together.

*gag*

After meeting, they run into each other a couple of times, but keep feeling this pull toward each other even though they have said maybe 5 words to each other since they met. Kamryn's friends are trying to set her up with a guy (super hot of course,) but she declines and blows him off because she can't get Brody off her mind (at this point, I don't think they had even said one word to each other.) I wanted to bang my head against the wall. Insta-love is a total turn off for me...and that's why I originally put this book down.

After going back to it, I decided to pull through and finish it. I'm not a quitter, and the writing wasn't bad...it's just that everything was over the top. I felt like I needed a bottle of wine just to get through it (and not in a good way.)

Brody is married, of course, and his wife is the worst kind of person. Manipulative, psychotic, dramatic...I literally wish she was a real person so I could grab her and shake her. Kamryn knows that Brody is married and decides she still can't live without him (this is after the 3rd time they've seen each other.)

They both feel terrible about not being able to stay away from each other, but yet they still partake in an extra-marital affair. Brody goes to Kamryn's house to "hang out"... They kept telling each other they were going to take things slow, but on the 3rd consecutive night of Brody going to Kamryn's, they decide they can't do "slow" and end up having sex.

After that, everything basically imploded. The wife continued to manipulate Brody. He would tell Kamryn he was filing for divorce and then never go through with it. So many things were working against them. I honestly felt like throwing my iPad for 90% of this story because it was all so stupid and overly dramatic. This is the soap opera of books.

Normally, I like a little bit of drama, but in true Molly McAdams style, everything that could go wrong, DID go wrong. At some point you have to sit back and ask yourself "why?" It was all too much. After about 2/3 of the book, I ended up skimming the rest. Brody was a good guy in my eyes...not too possessive, but he was a complete pushover when it came to the wife.

When Brody and Kamryn would get together, Brody's wife would inevitably call him, screaming at him for not being home and he obviously had to go tend to her to keep the affair secret, but then Kamryn would cry and beg for him to stay. HE IS MARRIED! YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO! Brody couldn't very well stay with Kamryn when his wife was getting suspicious. Not to mention the fact that Kamryn and Brody had unprotected sex from the beginning just because they both told each other they were clean. What kind of person has unprotected sex with somebody they just met? I literally couldn't wrap my head around it.

Not to mention this entire book builds up for "is he going to file for divorce or nah?" and when he finally files for divorce, we get a couple chapters of Brody and Kamryn being together, but never find out what happened with the divorce proceedings?!?! Not that I cared at that point...I just didn't understand why all of the buildup for nothing?

This book is a 1 star for me. Too much drama and insta-love. ...more

Personally, I just don’t know what I make of this book. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t horrible either. Story line wise, I knew what I was getting myself into but I do have to admit that there were times that I was either banging my head or felt that the book went off the deep end.

(view spoiler)

So over all, not a train wreck like I thought it could be, but it is taxing on your mind that reality can be fickle and harsh at times. It’s about two people at a crossroads with one taking control of her life while the guy is just trying to make the past right and move on with his life.

An alright read in general.

I haven’t read a Molly McAdam’s novel since the disastrous time I had with Taking Chances but I still wanted to give this author another try. So when the opportunity came to read Sharing You, I jumped at it, even though it did take me a little while to get to it.

I’m just going to say it, I didn’t hate Sharing You but I certainly didn’t love it either. I actually liked the characters but it was the plot of the story I had an issue with. I just don’t think it was very believable. It’s 2.5 stars!

I’m just going to say it, I didn’t hate Sharing You but I certainly didn’t love it either. I actually liked the characters but it was the plot of the story I had an issue with. I just don’t think it was very believable. It’s one of them that unless you’ve experienced something like it – insta-love, insta-attraction, fate, whatever you want to call it – first hand, you’re probably not going to believe the story. I’m not saying I don’t believe in fate but I am an unbeliever of insta-love especially from the first moment you meet someone because it’s something I’ve never experienced nor, do I know anyone who has experienced it for themselves. This is the story for Sharing You – two characters meeting and the first time is so intense that they know they’re meant for each other regardless of the obstacles in the way. I know the author has written this story about witnessing a couple go through the same thing and I applauded her, but I feel like she’s written a story not many people will relate to, therefore many people may not enjoy it.

Like I said before, I did actually like the characters despite the insta-love. Kamyrn and Brody have both have difficult lives and I could definitely sympathise with it. It’s one of the reasons I kept reading. I wanted to see how their relationship developed after their first meeting and more so how the story ends. The cheating part of the story didn’t really bother me. Brody was in an unhappy married were he was manipulated by his wife; I do wish he had the strength to do the right thing because of how unhappy he was.

In all, Sharing You wasn’t the best story I’ve read but it’s one I’m glad I’ve read and I still haven’t written Molly McAdam’s off completely yet, despite my issues with the story.

I have never been more afraid of reading a book like I was when I finally started reading Sharing You. Many of you know Molly's books Taking Chances and Stealing Harper were the first books ever to make me ugly cry. I am not a crier when it comes to books, I am a visual person so movies will set my tears off easily as opposed to a book. But sure enough, those books by McAdams finally crack me open. I was devastated and had the worse emotional book hangover ever. I loved the books but admit they I have never been more afraid of reading a book like I was when I finally started reading Sharing You.

I am not a crier when it comes to books, I am a visual person so movies will set my tears off easily as opposed to a book. But sure enough, those books by McAdams finally crack me open. I was devastated and had the worse emotional book hangover ever. I loved the books but admit they were painful. So of course I was already imagining Sharing You tearing me apart emotionally. Thank goodness it didn't. Everything within the pages I was able to handle and enjoy every page I turned.

Sharing You is the story of Kamryn, she leaves everything behind to move away from her life to Oregon. Where no one knows her or her past life. She opened a bakery and alters her name a bit, so they don't recognize she is that Kamryn Cunningham, Horse-racing world royalty. She could care less about all that, since its brought her nothing but heartache and nightmares. She just wants a fresh start and do what she loves to do, Bake.

KC as those have grown to know her in Oregon, keeps avoiding the suitors that her best friend keeps trying to set her up with. Then one day when she visits her best friends house where once again she is trying to set her up, KC practically runs into her best friend husband's brother. KC's world has just rocked to epic proportions. She can't deny the gravitational pull she has towards Brody. But fates have different plans, because Brody is married. Cue pouty face while reading at this point, lol. Yea he is off the market. Problem is that Brody might be married, but its a unhealthy marriage since the beginning. Brody's wife does not care for him and lives this fantasy life without Brody in the equation. Why hasn't he divorced her? Well Brody holds himself accountable for a tragedy in their lives and believes he is the one that has to work at getting is wife help. It's extremely dysfunctional and has torn away at Brody's life.

Picture two magnets in your hands and they are north and south polarities, its almost impossible to keep them apart from connecting with one another. Well that would be KC and Brody, they fight and fight the pull, but the force to pull them together is much stronger then their fight. Sharing You affects may lives in this book, and you might not agree with certain situation that take places and others might leave you crushed, but I promise you will love this story.

Here she meet Kinlee and her husband Jace and for the next eight months, she lived to blend in and had strict rules. That all went out the window though , when she met Jace's brother Brody Saco. She felt this instant soulmate connection with him and he felt the same , the problem though is that he is married to Olivia. Brody and Olivia were high school sweethearts and when Olivia fell pregnant , Brody did the right thing and married her. All was going well until the accident and their son died. Now for the past five years Brody and Olivia have been going through the motions and living in a hate relationship. I hated the character Olivia as she was a right manipulative cow , as the story goes on we see that Olivia envies the Cunningham Family and wants to be just like the daughter Kamryn. What she doesn't realise though is that Kamryn wants the exact opposite and is happy living her simple no-strings and no-fuss life . During the majority of the book , we read as KC and Brody can't keep their hands off each other and start to work a plan of action which involves Brody divorcing Olivia's sorry ass. What will happen though when Brody realises KC's true identity and blames her for the way Olivia has turned out and lumps KC in the same box of spoilt rich brat whose family will look down on him and like Olivia she will grow to resent him for holding her back. Can KC share her inner thoughts with Brody and let him know the truth , that she is nothing like that and that she wants her forever to be with Brody , the Bakery and her newfound friends ?
As always as a reader, Molly McAdams is one of those authors who you can't help but love her books to pieces as they target edgy situations but examples of true soulmate love that us girls swoon at as we read through the pages.

SHARING YOU is a book that is going to evoke many differing emotions. If you're not a fan of infidelities, well, the blurb for the book tells you this book had it so this may not be one for you. But for me, while I don't condone cheating under any circumstances, it had it's place in this story and brought a different perspective to the romance between Brody and Kamryn.

Brody and Kamyrn were both dealing with different things in their lives when they met. The attraction and feeling of coming home SHARING YOU is a book that is going to evoke many differing emotions. If you're not a fan of infidelities, well, the blurb for the book tells you this book had it so this may not be one for you. But for me, while I don't condone cheating under any circumstances, it had it's place in this story and brought a different perspective to the romance between Brody and Kamryn.

Brody and Kamyrn were both dealing with different things in their lives when they met. The attraction and feeling of coming home between the two of them was instant. So immediate that when it happened in the story it felt like you were standing in the room watching it happen. It was that tangible. But we knew Brody was married, no matter how unhappily, and Kamryn wasn't the type of person to break up a marriage. She may lust for him, but she wasn't going to be that woman. So I was torn when they gave into their attraction. On one hand, I wanted them together, but on the other I wanted Brody to do the right thing and be rid of Olivia before they started anything. But timing isn't always perfect and you can't always control your feelings, I get that. And we knew how each of them struggled with the decision they made. Brody hated putting Kamryn in the situation as the "other woman" while he tried to get his wife help and Kamryn hated being the other woman and breaking up a marriage she knew was basically over.

As they struggled and fought to keep what they had, it did allow for (as a reader) to truly understand that these two were meant to be together. I may not agree with how they started their relationship, but being together definitely brought life back into each character. Brody becoming more the man he was before and Kamryn able to rid herself of her Kentucky racing roots and just being herself. And when you see this side of Brody and Kamryn it's hard to not to like them together and want them to figure this out.

Evil has a new name and it's Olivia Reynolds Saco. She was freaking crazy and the main reason I wanted to chuck my Kindle across the room at various points and time. Holy mother of God, this woman was pure evil. She was manipulative, vindictive and borderline psychotic. They way she controlled Brody by using his grief was hateful and made me wish she was real so some sort of bodily harm to could to her. I wanted this woman to suffer for what she put Brody through. Actually, both her and her sadistic parents. That's my only regret with this book. Just divorcing the crazy bitch wasn't enough for me. Brody deserved to get some kind of justice when he finally rid himself of the Reynolds clan. Sure, he got the love of his life, but that just didn't seem like enough (yes, I'm blood thirsty and I'm not embarrassed to say it).

This was another great Molly McAdams book. She always managed to evoke such emotions from me as a reader, that I enjoy discovering what kind of ride I'm going to be on. If you don't mind the infidelity, this is absolutely a book you should read. At it's core, it's about overcoming your past and fighting for your future, something that this couple definitely needed to do to get that much sought after HEA. ...more

Star-crossed lovers, Love triangle, conniving wife and infidelity. Well, that makes it sound really bad! LOL Rest assured that if anyone can pull these topics off without you totally losing your mind, it is Molly McAdams. This book can be read as a stand-alone and does not have a cliffhanger.

Even though it drives me mad and I can’t deal with the angst – it is my guilty pleasure and I just can’t help myself to read them and get totally wrapped up in the drama they cause. Cheating… another one of those no no topics, BUT, AGAIN, Molly made it work. Once you read and are in the middle of everything that brings them to that point, I don’t think you will be minding that much anymore.

As many that have read a Molly McAdams book already, they are probably worried about their hearts being RIPPED out of their chests and take stock out on tissues since you expect the whole ugly cry, but this is not one of those books.

While I did read the Sharing You Prequel “Sharing Firsts” that was in the Fifty First Times sequel – and you get to meet the majority of the characters in this series briefly, I did not read Capturing Peace yet, as I did not realize that it was a prequel novella to Sharing You, however I understand that we met the male main character Brody in that Novella – as he was one of the characters in the story, but it is not necessary to read Capturing Peace or Sharing First before reading Sharing You. I was not lost at all – so I think you can start with either book first.

I really enjoyed this book even though it did have cheating, I totally did not feel bad about it – and I don’t think you would either! There is so much more to the story than cheating, so don’t worry. The chemistry and connection between Brody and KC and you will want them together too.

This is a well-written book and you will sympathize with the characters and will be hoping that everyone gets their happily ever after – well except one particular woman…..

I can’t wait to read more about these characters, now I have to go back and read Capturing Peace! So, if you love a good angsty book with a love triangle, this book is for you and you should definitely pick it up! ...more

I love contemporary romance, it is no secret, but what you might not know is that more often than not, I really have a hard time finding those books that really suck me in. That really stand out and make me remember why I love the genre so much.

After you have read so many of them, things start to blend together with the all too familiar tropes and cliches and before you know it, you don't even remember what you are reading and why. In fact, half the time I don't even write reviews for those sto I love contemporary romance, it is no secret, but what you might not know is that more often than not, I really have a hard time finding those books that really suck me in.

After you have read so many of them, things start to blend together with the all too familiar tropes and cliches and before you know it, you don't even remember what you are reading and why. In fact, half the time I don't even write reviews for those stories because where do I begin to describe them when everything about it was forgettable? Was too familiar and so overdone all I wanted to do was roll my eyes and hide in the corner waiting for a better read to come along?

Believe it or not, I have had to take a break from this genre whether it be YA, NA, or adult. Sometimes enough is enough and I am almost afraid to pick up the next one, no matter how terrific or original it may sound.

So when I find one that I really enjoyed, that really did stand out, that wasn't your normal angst and heart ache and putting the pieces back together again type of read, I feel like I have to shout it from the roof tops and make it be known that this, this read, is a winner. This is one that everyone should read.

It isn't often I say something like that about a book like this. I deplore cheating. It makes me sad, it disgusts me and I can't and don't condone it. But once in a great while an author can make me see another side to it and McAdams, has done just that.

I still don't agree with everything that happened, with why they couldn't wait, but I felt their torture and their pain and the situation that they were in and even fell in love with them both. Brody is in a horrible relationship with a truly deplorable woman and even though I don't like that he cheated on her, I can (sort) of understand it. I felt what he was going through and I felt that even though he did something bad, he did it for all the right reason.

You will be hard pressed to find an author that can make you cheer for a couple that is breaking all the rules. That are doing something so wrong, yet so right at the same time. For a couple that you can't help but feel for and want to root them on. Want them to get their happily ever after, together.

McAdams did a fabulous job with this. She showed us that every story really does have two sides and that everything isn't always so black and white, that there is a heck of a lot of gray in between, and sometimes, it is that gray that makes all the difference in the world. ...more

so the premise of this book is absolutely horrible and i was very wary of reading it because of it, but i have enjoyed most of the other books ive read by this author so i decided to give it a try being that i got it as a library book. after understanding the circumstances it felt like what is going on throughout this book isnt as horrible as i expected, although i still dont totally condone all that happened and how it actually happened.
