[Vicki]

OMG!!! It's almost here!!! Gisbelle, Arsh and I would love to have you join us as we read this long anticipated new COHO book!!!

In fact, I've had this on my TBR shelf since October 24, 2014. Who doesn't love COHO!!!

[Gisbelle]

Yay!!! One of my most anticipated books of the year is also here!

[Arsh]

I can't wait!!

[Ashlyn]

I'm in! I can't wait for this one!

[Gisbelle]

Same! I really love the author and the cover is really yummy!

[Vicki]

Looks like COHO has some CRAZY fans!!! Lol SO EXCITED!!!

[Amanda]

I'll join in. My library just put this on their new orders list and I'm first in line. I'm excited for this one :)

[Vicki]

Awesome, Amanda! My library still takes forever to get new books in the library!!

[Arsh]

I think I might just end up buying it because I have no faith in my library. They take way too long to get new books.

[Vicki]

Arsh, my library takes at least a month normally, if not more. I had to pre-order this one! LOL

[Gisbelle]

I'm starting this, guys :) I'll be out, so I probably won't be able to post until much later.

[Vanessa]

Hey guys, I'm joining you for this one :) I just got my hands on it and I'm super excited !!

[Vicki]

Yay, Vanessa! I'm sure it'll be so good!!

I can't wait for mine to be delivered today!!! CoHo is such a doll and so down to earth!!! I can hardly believe the "quick success" she's had. If you ever get the chance to meet her in person, you just have to!!!

[Amanda]

My library copy shows as an order record :(

I will join in as soon as my copy comes.

[Vicki]

Fingers crossed for a fast addition to the library!

[Amanda]

Fingers crossed :)

Finished First November 9th


Ben (view spoiler)[ I love this guy. His wacky sense of humor is totally contagious. I'd love to read his novel about the two of them. (hide spoiler)]

Fallon (view spoiler)[ It's sad that her father's made her feel so insecure about herself. (hide spoiler)]

The promise (view spoiler)[I love that they set the date to read every year at the same time, the same place. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Finished Second November 9th


Ben (view spoiler)[ when he got on the plane with Fallon, I thought he was going to go with her to NY. That would have been a little too much, so I loved that he was just trying to get the note to her. That was so romantic!

I'm wondering why his brother was so mad at him when he found out about Fallon. Could it be Ben has something to do with the fire? I hope not. (hide spoiler)]

Fallon (view spoiler)[ I think I liked her more now that she was more confident. I hope her call to her father doesn't cause any more drama (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

(view spoiler)[Miles is in this book too!! I thought I made mistake a few chapters ago, but he is really in this book :) (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Finished Third November 9th


Fallon (view spoiler)[I was frustrated when she got a call from Ben saying that he couldn't meet her, but a part of me already knew she would just go to him anyway. It was still awesome even it was predictable as it could be. (hide spoiler)]

Ben (view spoiler)[ What a heartbreaking scene when he asked her not to change her mind about him moving to NY :( (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Finished Fourth November 9th


Ben (view spoiler)[ Ugh... I kinda knew something big was going to happen. I thought he was seeing someone else, but gosh does it have to be his dead brother's wife?!

What a mess they are in! (hide spoiler)]

Fallon (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for her :( Having her heart broken like this is just too much...

I still hope they meet next year, though. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished First November 9th

Okay, so now I get why (view spoiler)[the title is November 9. How sweet is that! (hide spoiler)]

Ben (view spoiler)[is my kind of guy! I love his sense of humor and his gutsy ways. I like how he fake boyfriended himself to and confronted her dad and stood up for her. But what's really awesome about him is that he sees beyond her scars. Actually, he sees them but they don't bother him at all. In fact, I think he actually likes them. (hide spoiler)]

Fallon's (view spoiler)[dad really ticked me off! In this day and age, scars won't prevent you from doing something you want. Yes, there are superficial people and Hollywood looks for perfection, but there IS a place for someone like her who is not "perfect" according to society and Hollywood. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to see (view spoiler)[how their relationship progresses. I'm sure they will be completely and totally in love by the end of the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Yes, (view spoiler)[ it is really sweet. I love the title and the story behind it. (hide spoiler)]

Ben (view spoiler)[ I know right? I love a guy with a great sense of humor. The kind that you won't be bored being around him. (hide spoiler)]

Colleen Hoover always makes a mess of the whole thing before she finally puts us out of misery lol

[Gisbelle]

Anyways I only have like 20 pages left to go. I'll be back soon :)

[Vicki]

Lol I ended up not getting home last night until 7:30 and read some & fell asleep. Lol All of a sudden my husband woke me at 12:30 and I just got up! It's now 7:35 and I RARELY can sleep that late, but I've been unusually tired lately so guess I needed it.

I'm glad you like it so far. I know I do!!

[Vicki]

Okay, day off BUT hubby and I went to breakfast and he goes to work at 2:45. We both have dentist appointments today too. But when he goes to work I'll read and hopefully finish today.

I'm so glad you LOVED it!!! FIVE STARS? YIPPEE!!! I'm totally loving it so far!!

[Ashlyn]

I have like fifty pages left. Sorry I haven't really been posting, but I am loving it so far! I can't wait to finish.

[Ashlyn]

I wasn't sure (view spoiler)[if it was really Miles when he was mentioned, but then him and Tate showed up, so I was certain. I loved that they were included in the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Yes... Me too :) it was really cool.

I'm glad you loved it just as much as I did :D

[Vicki]

Finished Part II

Gis, I had the exact same thoughts, but I didn't even think about the possibility that (view spoiler)[Ben had something to do with the fire. That would be BAD! (hide spoiler)]

Ben (view spoiler)[captured my heart for sure when he took the note to Fallon. He is really special! I hope when she does call her dad that he is more open to her. (hide spoiler)]

When Ben's brother (view spoiler)[hit him I wondered if he thought maybe Ben was seeing Fallon just for sex and that his brother didn't think he should be "using her" because of how vulnerable she'd be because of her scars. That was all I could think of, but I don't think it's that. I am dying to know why he hit him as soon as he saw Fallon and looked back and forth and then BAM!! What the heck? I'll DIE if he had anything to do with the fire, but how could he? (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Yes... It was the first that popped into my mind.

Ben (view spoiler)[ was super adorable in that scene :) if I were Fallon, I would have kissed him senseless right then and there. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Ha ha, right? LOL

Just tell me do I find out why his brother (view spoiler)[hit him (hide spoiler)] soon or do I have to wait until the end of the book?

[Gisbelle]

Yes, but it won't be revealed until near the end of the book. I think it was in the fifth November

[Vicki]

Ugh, okay. Thanks! I hope I can stay awake to read it. LOL

[Gisbelle]

Lol it's worth losing some sleep.

[Vicki]

I know that! However I've been EXTRA tired the last couple weeks or so because normally I do stay up late. I think it was all of the emotional drain and physical loss of sleep etc. from my mother-in-law's passing away. I don't know what else it could be.

I will try to stay up and read as much as I can!

[Gisbelle]

Take care.

[Vicki]

I will and you too!! :)

[Gisbelle]

Thanks :) I've been sleeping a lot lately lol

[Vicki]

Good for you!!! That's healthy!

[Vicki]

Finished Third November 9th

I was frustrated (view spoiler)[when Fallon refused to see how important it was to Ben to simply start their life together. I am sure they'll get their HEA but golly gee! I see that she's trying to give up her "selfish" need to be with him so he can fulfill his dream, but I think she's a fool for not being with him OR giving him her number. (hide spoiler)]

I was really surprised when (view spoiler)[Ben's brother was killed. So sad especially for Jordyn. I hope that Ben and his brother can be the male figure in the baby's life that it will need. (hide spoiler)]

I still need to know why (view spoiler)[when Ben's brother hit him! (hide spoiler)]

I fell asleep until my husband got home so now it's almost 1:30. LOL

Have I told you girls how much I LOVE CoHo??? I LOVE her books!!!!

[Vicki]

OH, but I was GLAD (view spoiler)[they had such good love making and that she felt the way he saw her: beautiful. That is all any woman wants...to be seen by HER man as beautiful. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Vicki wrote: "OH, but I was GLAD [spoilers removed]"

That scene was really good.

[Gisbelle]

I was (view spoiler)[ a little angry at Fallon when she just left like that. It was heartbreaking to see how much Ben hurt. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

OMG!! I can't believe that (view spoiler)[you were right and that Ben started that fire!!! What a SAD, heart-felt story he wrote about his mother's suicide and his reaction to it. It truly touched me, especially knowing that there are MANY young people who have found their parents dead due to suicide. While I DO understand that it can be a result of someone who is mentally ill, it isn't always. I know one must be truly severely depressed and feel like there is nothing else they can do, it is the ultimate act of selfishness. I don't know how ANYONE can do that knowing someone they love will find them. Ugh! (hide spoiler)]

I only have a few more pages to read and will get to them in just a bit.

[Gisbelle]

I know right? It was still a shocker to me.

[Ashlyn]

Vicki wrote: "OMG!! I can't believe that [spoilers removed]

I couldn't believe that happened either. (view spoiler)[I felt really bad for Ben when he found his mother killer herself. I don't think a parent should knowingly kill themselves expecting their kids to be the ones that find them. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Yes, I think it was a little selfish of her, (view spoiler)[ but after reading the suicide note I kind understand why she did that. Still I guess she could have done it a little differently. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I finished! OMG I love CoHo! How does she do it??

The entire last part of the book when (view spoiler)[Fallon was reading his book had me in tears. OMG! He LOVES that girl! What a huge burden he's had all those years. Ben has the type of love that all women would kill to have! (view spoiler)[

I love, loved, loved this one!!! Wonder what she'll write next.

Funny because when I saw her in person she TOTALLY said she had NO idea how she came up with the romance stuff because she and her husband are not! LOL But wow, I'm in love with her. (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Yay... This one is almost as good as ... I can't wait to read
