Hi there!

The winners have been chosen and posted (click on the Rafflecopter link in Brianna's post).

All ebooks have been sent out. The email will be from 'P. S. Love.' Please check your SPAM folder if you don't see it in your inbox.

When discussing this book, please put *SPOILERS* if possible, so that the curve balls and twists and turns of the story aren't ruined for those who hadn't read it yet ;)

Thank you for your interest in reading this story and I hope you enjoy it!

NOTE: Please remember this is fiction and like James Bond and Indiana Jones, some things may seem outrageous, lol, but if you just go with it for the entertainment purpose, you'll probably enjoy it =D

Take care, all!

I can't find the e-mail for this, the only one I received was a link sending me here and it's not in my junk folder. Just curious if it was sent to my email or my kindle email??? If sent to my kindle e-mail I have to add a recipient to my personal document settings to receive an e-book this way.! Could someone re-send please and thank you!!!

Billie Jo - You had put your Kindle email addy in the box for the answer about what format, so I had assumed you wanted it sent there, too. Let me know if you want me to send it to the comporium.net addy, and I'll send you a new one there.

[Billie Jo]

The kindle one is fine lol I just have to add an approved email for sender to receive the book,Otherwise I don't get them, for example I had to add Kindle@netgalley.com to receive their books.

I really appreciate the opportunity to read the book and sorry for the hassle....

No problem =). I sent you a private message.

[P.S.]

You're welcome =)

If you folks get to discussing things here, I may join in and share with you some parts of the story that was based on things that happened in my own life or those of my family/relations, if you want some background on it, that I normally don't discuss.

Oh, and I will warn you, some of you may love this book, while others may hate it, lol. And that's okay. We each have our opinions and the way we feel about things. Nobody's wrong—how you feel is how you feel.

And although much of the story may seem unbelievable (which many parts are totally made up and should rightly feel so, lol) there are other parts that maybe when you hear why I wrote things the way I did (mainly Brooke's view about some things that happen), you may understand the reasoning better. Again, those things are based on my own life's events or that of my family/relatives.

Those who have never gone through a traumatic experience, had tragedies, a close relationship with their brother, had someone close die of a terminal illness, etc. may have a hard time relating to Brooke's POV, thus why I'll share with you later where those stemmed from.

I don't want to give too much away right now, but when you folks finish the book and start discussions, I will join in and give you some history, if that's okay with you all.

If you prefer not to have me (the author) in on your discussion, I will certainly understand and don't want to disturb the convo.

My participation here won't be to convince those who may hate the book that you're wrong to hate it, lol. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I will only be sharing with you the background on how some of my characters came to be, and answer any questions anybody might have.

Anyway, you let me know if you approve or object to my being here. I will totally respect the group's wishes.

Thanks all for your interest in my book =)

[P.S.]

Oh, I should mention ... I'm in the middle of writing my next book and have to get out a chapter a day for my private viewing group, so I won't be able to chime in here everyday when the discussion begins, but I'll certainly stop by when I can and especially to share some of what I mentioned above (if I'll be allowed to, that is).

Cheers!

I personally loved this book! I loved the twists and turns. It kept my attention the whole time. Just when I thought I had it all figured out and thought I knew what was going to happen, I completely got thrown off and was so pleasantly surprised. I loved Brooke and I loved her close relationship with her brother. I wish I had that kind of relationship. :)

[P.S.]

Thanks, Brianna =)

LOL, yes, Landon seems to have made an impression. Several reviewers have mentioned wanting a 'Landon' story now, lol.

Here's my first tidbit ...

Landon was actually sculpted after my hubby's relationship with his sisters. When I first met them, they raved about what a great brother he was and how he took care of them, made them laugh with his goofy antics, was there for them, protected them, etc. etc. I could see how much they idolized him and loved him. I was in awe of the relationship they had.

He was farther in age distance than Landon was to Brooke, but I didn't want Landon that far in age because Tristan needed to be closer to Brooke's age for the story to have the romance I wanted it to have. Even so, I'm sure there are brothers out there who are closer in age difference who is a Landon to their sister(s). Out of the billions of people in this world ... I'm sure of it =)

Okay, so there's your first tidbit that is based on real life =)

I can't wait to join in the discussion. I plan to start reading this tomorrow and start posting. :)

Based on the synopsis here on goodreads, I hope to be very careful and will mark all my spoilers :D
