[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters in
it's a really quick read so far.

Cage (view spoiler)[ I wonder what on earth that could happen to break Eva and Cage up
and get Eva pregnant and engaged to jeremey???

The roommate must fake something on Cage and get Eva thinking he's cheating..... (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Oh good! I need quick! I just got home and am about ready to start it.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Done!!! So, this is the first in a string that I haven't hated! LOL! This one was okay. it wasn't too bad and I actually like (view spoiler)[ cage having to explain himself and man up a little (hide spoiler)]

this one was pretty okay :) I hope you guys like it!!

[Vicki]

Trisha, I've not been reading the past couple days (since Zach's death) but I got a novella done today. :o) I don't know for sure when I'll get to this one but I have it on my NOOK, so ASAP.

[Kathy]

Yes! I hope to have this one done before the weekend is out! :D

[Kathy]

I will try to finish this one tomorrow! :D

[Vicki]

I'm behind on this one too. Lol

[Kathy]

ok! I got the prologue and chapter 1 done and (view spoiler)[ I thought I had missed something! She's a single mom? They had a daughter?? And Jermey asked her to marry him?? (hide spoiler)] And then Cage! (view spoiler)[ What did he do to make Eva think he wasn't the one anymore and then go running to Jermey?? *sigh* (hide spoiler)]

I will read more tomorrow! :D

[Kathy]

[Vicki]

That's good to know! Lol

[Kathy]

Trisha wants to schedule the next one. So when do you think? :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

EEEE!!! LOL! I'm willing to schedule the next one is july

if you guys want to read this in June??

[Vicki]

I think before we schedule #6. LOL OMG this is too much fun!! I only have NINE school work days left, so I'm dying to read anything and everything! I'll be sitting on the beaches of Hawaii reading, drinking my tropical sex on the beach, telling my husband not to bother me cuz I'm in the middle of a good part!!! LOL

Okay, seriously, how about we start it May 26?

[Kathy]

Sounds good to me! I'm so ready for this one! :D

[Vicki]

Cool, that's a no work day for me! The rest of the week will be finals, all minimum days, but HECKA busy at work. But I'll still be able to get in some reading during finals week. :o)

[Kathy]

Awesome! Thanks Vicki! :D

[Vicki]

Yay!!!! I'm getting so excited to have some real reading time!!!

[Kathy]

Yes! I loved it when I feel like I have actually accomplished some reading! lol!

Do you want to schedule for July? When do you think? :D

[Vicki]

I think July is good. Jump over to the BR thread and see Trisha's and my convo.

[Kathy]

Awesome! :D

[Kathy]

We said to start this on May 26, right?
I just want to make sure that this doesn't go to archives. :D

[Vicki]

Yeppers...I started it just a few minutes ago.

[Vicki]

5 chapters in and I am (view spoiler)[ so sad about her dad. That is going to be a tear jerker for me! (hide spoiler)]

Cage: (view spoiler)[ He has it bad! It's awesome to be in love, but to feel that you cannot live without a person for a period of time is not good. I hope he goes to Tennessee and that he is able to deal without Eva. I'd hate for him to mess up his game and dream because of her. (hide spoiler)]

Jeremy: (view spoiler)[ He's a good guy too. I'm glad that Eva has him as well. I just don't want his being with Eva and Cage being gone to make her turn to him romantically. (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

Yay!! I will start again soon! :D

Prologue (view spoiler)[ Were you confused like me? I was having to go back and read parts over because I couldn't understand how she got preggers! And then she and Cage weren't together?

I wonder what he did to make her leave him! Did he freak out about the baby? I know you can't tell me. lol! I will start soon! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

That's right I can't tell you because I don't even know yet. LOL I can only guess and that would give it away. Here is my guess based on up to ch. 11

Why? (view spoiler)[ The only thing I can think of is one: if she finds out about the titty bar and gets too upset and mistrusting of him. Two: Cage is tempted too much and gives in and she finds out. I worry about that Hayden chick too. She lives right there where Cage lives and I have a feeling about Cage possibly hooking up with her when he has a weak moment. Then Eva might sleep with Jeremy for comfort/revenge.Three: her time with Jeremy and sharing such intimate thing as her father's impending death and they just overstep their bounds because of the emotional ties and history. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished ch. 15 and now I know! I went back and re-read the Prologue and as soon as I did, I had a feeling I knew how it was going to play out.

Jeremy: (view spoiler)[ I think that he was being underhanded telling Eva's dad that he' proposed to her. He knew how vulnerable that Eva would be by his doing that. I know he loves her but he's not the one! (hide spoiler)]

Cage: (view spoiler)[ OMG!! I feel SO bad for him in so many ways! First, I just knew that Hayden was trouble, but I had no idea that she was that awful! I can't believe that she went along with Ace to set him up like that. How can people purposely destroy someone's life? I do think that Cage should have at least TRIED to get back with Eva (even more than just once), but she used those words on him that his mother had used, so I think that truly finalized it for him i his mind: "You're the biggest mistake of my life!" Ugh...I'm glad that at this point he is going to fight to get her back. Just hoping he follows through and doesn't give up too easily! (hide spoiler)]

Low: (view spoiler)[ I just love her. I'm glad that she let Cage know how HE hadn't even tried to talk with Eva after Eva broke it off. She's a good girl! (hide spoiler)]

Eva: (view spoiler)[ I can't even imagine how mortified she'd have felt after seeing those pics and video, but with that kind of relationship I think you always owe it to your loved one to at least hear the other person out. I think she spoke those words way too quickly, but I totally understand why!!! I just think one of them, probably Cage, should have communicated a desire to at least talk it out. I love that her dad knew even before Eva did that she was having a girl. I hope she truly listens to Cage because he was really innocent in all that stuff. Being drugged does something to you and he never wanted anything to do with any of those girls. (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I'm at my brother-in-law's aunts house and on my phone. lol
I'm glad you're liking it so far.
I will start probably tomorrow. :)

[Vicki]

Ok have fun! :)

I took a little nap and my husband ended up not having to go in to work, so I'm not sure now how much more reading I'll get done today. I hate to say this but I also have papers to grade...ugh!

In 20 chapters

Cage: (view spoiler)[ He is trying SO hard and I just want Eva to at least listen to him so she'll know that he didn't cheat on her in the way she thinks. I want her to know the pain he's been in too. (hide spoiler)]

Eva: (view spoiler)[ She needs to just open up to him and ask him already what happened in Tennessee with that woman and the pics! Is she really so blind that she can't tell he wants to be with HER! She's driving me nuts right now. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Jeremy: (view spoiler)[ He is a sweetheart and he does deserve someone who has passion and desire for him! I'm glad that he and Cage talked. Jeremy brought it up, so he must have known that simply wasn't Cage. I wish Eva would ask him the same thing so Cage can explain to her. (hide spoiler)]

Bliss: (view spoiler)[ I love that name and that her dad was so intuitive. He told her that the baby would bring her joy and happiness, so that's her dad's last words to her basically. She'll realize soon, and I LOVE that her dad also told her that he could SEE the love in Cage's eyes and he had NO doubt that he totally was in love with her. What a great father! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

OMG I didn't think I'd EVER get the last 30 pages read!!! My husband ended up not going in to work, so he started with wanting to go get something from Subway (and he wanted me to go). Then he wanted me to watch some YouTube videos with him on the island we're going to, and so I acquiesced and watched about an hour of videos. Then when I start to read again I get my FIRST warning that I have 1% battery left. What? Why wasn't I warned at 10 or 15%? LOL And one of my daughters called me and another kept texting me. LOL Finally when I uncharged at 25% just to finish the book, my husband put on the TV guide but it was just sitting on that and Criminal Minds was playing in the background and some strange music and screaming and I finally said, "May I PLEASE just read my last 10 pages before turning the TV on?" So he turned it off and then I read the last 10 pages and OMG...

Ending: (view spoiler)[All I can say is that I was in tears when she walked into the barn and Cage was playing (poorly but beautifully) and singing her marriage proposal to her. Then add the 100's of candles. As if that wasn't enough it was a "gift from her father." I bawled! HE knew Cage loved his daughter and he KNEW they'd get back together. He had believed in Cage's love for Evan. So beautiful! (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I will start this again tomorrow and read all of your spoilers! :D

[Vicki]

Have a good night's sleep. :)

[Kathy]

Thanks Vicki! Hope you have a good day at work!
I'm starting this now! :D
