[Vicki]

Gis and I would love company as we read this (what looks to be a good read!) first book in The Consolation Duet.

[Gisbelle]

I hope it is good :)

[Vicki]

You & me both, especially since I initiated the BR. Lol

[Gisbelle]

Lol as long as we suffer together :)

[Vicki]

We usually do!!! Lol

[Ashlyn]

I'll join in on this one.

[Vicki]

Yay!!! It looks really good!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm in too. :)

[Vicki]

YIPPEE!!! Glad you are joining us, Trisha!!

[Ashlyn]

I'm through chapter 5.

(view spoiler)[I don't really like Natalie's personality so far. Maybe it is because she is still in the grieving faze. Maybe I will like her more now that she is actually going to try to live her life. I think Liam is really nice for trying to take care of Natalie now that Aaron is dead, and I really like that she named Aarabelle after Aaron. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Oh man, I'm so sorry I totally forgot. Off to read it.

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[I started to like Natalie a little more. I'm glad that Aarabelle is okay. It would have been very sad if something happened to her. I'm not really sure what the point of this story is yet. I'm hoping something happens that will make it more interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[I think Liam is good for Natalie, and it was cute that Liam tied Aara's diaper with a rope. This book is a little boring for me because nothing is really happening. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I finished Ch. 20 but will go read 21 and come back then I can read your post and comment.. I have to run my dog really quick. Be back soon!

[Vicki]

I agree that Liam is (view spoiler)[ good for Natalie. I think maybe the letter that Liam has from Aaron might be telling them that he approves of the two of them being together if they want because he knows his best friend would be good to her.

I was cracking up at the living room scene and the rope thing. LOL I'm being sexist to say this but it seems SO typical of a man, many men anyway. My dad could never get the front of an outfit for a baby on the right way. LOL (hide spoiler)]

I'm also curious to find out what they heck (view spoiler)[or who was targeting Jackson and why. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

This book is out to break heart. I finished the first chapter lol I'll read more when I finish (ch27)

[Vicki]

I added Hero. Thanks!

[Ashlyn]

I also think that (view spoiler)[the letter might say something about Natalie and Liam being together. I feel like he should read it soon. (hide spoiler)]

I feel bad for (view spoiler)[Natalie because her husband who was a SEAL died, and now she is with someone else who constantly puts his life on the line. I can understand why she is skeptical to be with Liam. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Ch. 30

I was surprised to find out that (view spoiler)[Aaron had cheated on Natalie and that their perfect marriage was anything but! I think that her knowing that will open the door for her to be with Liam guilt-free though. (hide spoiler)]

Liam (view spoiler)[is really a good man! The fact that he's hot doesn't hurt any either. LOL I love that he walked away from having sex with Natalie when she found out about her cheating hubby. That shows character and that he really cares about HER and not just a good lay. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Finished. Wow! (view spoiler)[I can't believe it ended with Aaron coming back! I wasn't expecting that to happen. I mean I knew something was up, but I really wasn't expecting that. I feel really bad for Liam and Natalie. At least now she might get some answers about what really happened. I wonder why Liam never read the letter Aaron gave to him. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

5 chapters

I'm liking it so far but I agree
(view spoiler)[ Meh. Natalie isn't really growing on me.
I can't imagine throwing things at my husband because he wanted to paint the baby room in camo.
but I'm trying to get an idea of what kind of person she's supposed to be (hide spoiler)]

Liam(view spoiler)[ I agree, he's sweet. I'm glad he's taking care of her. her mom shouldn't have asked. her mom shouldn't have gone home or gone home without her. (hide spoiler)]

and I love the baby's name :)

[Vicki]

Ashlyn wrote: "Finished. Wow! [spoilers removed]"

Do you think we might find that out in book 2? (view spoiler)[Either it wasn't important or it will have to be brought up in book 2. I want to know if Aaron had any concerns as to who she'd be with. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

15 chapters

still pretty good.

Liam(view spoiler)[ I like how slow their attraction is. I agree that it would be hard to see her as someone other than his best friend's girl. they are in a tough spot
but I like that he's helping out so much (hide spoiler)]

letter(view spoiler)[ it was so sad to read his last letter to her (hide spoiler)]

Natalie(view spoiler)[ meh. she's okay so far. I don't dislike her (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

25 chapters

I'm sad (view spoiler)[ that this has taken a turn and showing that Aaron was cheating on her
I don't think the story needed to go there in order for me, the reader, to be okay with Liam and Lee being together (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Trisha, could you maybe reply on one of the Reading Buddy threads? Can't remember which one you posted on with books you want to read together.

I do agree but I think the reason the author went there is so that (view spoiler)[she would be able to give herself permission to let Aaron go. I do agree though. It wasn't necessary. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm done

(view spoiler)[ interesting that Aaron is back but I don't like him much now
so what is going on with this mission thing that Aaron was able to hide/fake his own death?? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I COMPLETELY agree! (view spoiler)[ the unread letter from Aaron to Liam is killing me!! (hide spoiler)]

OH, that's a good possibility! I wonder...

I just wonder if it'll come up in book 2?

You girls are going to read book 2, right? I know I want to read it.

[Ashlyn]

I want to read book 2 because I want to know what happened. I feel like we were left with more questions then answers.

[Vicki]

I agree! Lol I'm sure Trisha will too. I think December or maybe January would be good.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I would love to read book 2!

Can we read it next month, though? before I forget the plot and characters! LOL

[Vicki]

I was thinking next month too.
