Nay (4ukcats) Has anyone finished Free yet? I'm seeing mixed, sometimes stabby, reviews and some are mentioning (view spoiler)

How are you healing/feeling? :)
I read it...I loved it...5*...yes there are characters from the Honey series (actually their story is in Loose Ends) one is the brother of the h Rebel...I haven't read any of those...there were lots of cameos and lots of POV's...if you're reading reviews you'll have learned that Rush and Rebel didn't get the front seat here...I'm not reading any reviews (other than my own friends)...there has been a lot flak with a bunch of her most recent books, lots of people saying they're finished with her and this, I'm sure, is not going to help...don't get me wrong, everyone has their own opinions and I totally appreciate that and the fact that this is (for me) a place for me to express my likes and dislikes of books I read...I don't care enough or have the time to waste listening to people get their hate on (time I could be reading :-))...ok, I really hope that didn't sound too bitchy :)

I agree. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's never any call for reviewers to be hatey or stabby.

I admit, I've lost my former love for KA a little, and haven't enjoyed any of her recent books in the way I used to. Not sure whether KA's style has changed, or I've changed, or a little of both?? But I am going to give Free a try. I've had so much enjoyment from her books in the past. Fingers crossed for this one.

Judy--It's been a challenge, but I'm getting there. I have to be able to achieve a 90 degree bend in my knee by my appointment next Wed and I'm at about 85, so that's good. I just move it as much as I can and deal with the days like today where it seems like I can feel every screw and plate. All I can say is, thank goodness for tylenol and pain meds!

Re: Free--I'm glad I asked, Judy! I didn't read that story in Loose Ends, so now I will. Personally, I enjoy when KA does a lot of POV's and I've read other books of hers where the H/h aren't the focal point.

Jan--I hate to say it, but I've also lost some of my love for KA, and I'm not sure if it's me or her. I had read almost all of her books, and I've gotten behind on a lot of the series.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well!❤️ It's a long process but necessary and it'll be worth it in the end when you're all better 😁

I didn't sign up this month cos I still haven't read last month's LOL. *hangs head in mock shame*


message 1567: by [deleted user] (new)

Jan, I'll be curious to what you think. KA was an auto buy for me for many years. I honestly dont think we changed or that she did. For me, I think the problem is that she hasn't changed.

Bev, I haven't read enough KA to say but I think this is true for several authors like her. You know ones with several books and similar style for each book. I notice that all the authors I used to binge on don't interest me as much anymore because its just too much of the same storyline.


message 1569: by Robin (new)

Robin Hill (robinhill) | 1528 comments C.J. Martín is sending out ARCs for The Work Wife today. I'll let you know when they're sent so you can check your kindles.

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments Just to go with my terrible start with the year.


WE MISSED OUR FLIGHT

We got the times mixed up.

Kill me now. Now I think we have to pay for 4 new flights.

😭😭😭😭😭

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments Oh no Melinda! I hope you don’t have to pay for new tickets!

OMG!!! That's terrible! I'm so sorry! This is a good PR opportunity for the airline to make you a lifelong customer, just make sure you find the right person to talk to.

Melinda when it is figured out i hope you get a few moments to just sit quietly and breath.

message 1577: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments And we have called and the last lady we spoke to said our whole itinerary is cancelled. So all our flights are cancelled.


LATAM Airlines.


So they are talking $13,000.00

But it only 7am here so we ha e wait until 9am when they are open.

I’ve just had the most stressful week at work. Had to go to the Drs and he said it’s caused extreme anxiety. I’m sure that’s how this has happened otherwise I’m always so very organised.

And the Dogs sick

And my brother in law is gravely I’ll. It’s just a shit year.

And there’s more problems that I won’t go into.

Thank god for my hubby. He’s just fantastic. I’m so lucky to have him. He just said fxxxx them we will just buy new tickets. He wrote a love letter to my daughter that didn’t come I case something happened to us. And made a joke saying just gave amend the amount in the letter. 😭😭😭

😭


message 1578: by Jenn (new)

Jenn Keller (bluejenn116) | 425 comments I’m so sorry Melinda that’s a lot to take in but it sounds like your husband is awesome and although I love his attitude I would still be a wreck! Bless you girl and hope all turns out as it was meant to be! *hugs*


message 1579: by Michele (new)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments Holy crap! Melinda! I am so sending you hugs!! Bless your heart! I would be a mess! I’m glad your husband is calm and sounds like an awesome guy! Hang in there...I hope all turns out okay. Know we’re all pulling for you! It sounds like you definitely need this holiday after the year you’ve had! 💓


message 1580: by [deleted user] (new)

Ouch.

Nice you can still keep positive. Maybe it can still turn around. Maybe they will still be able to work with you when they open.


message 1581: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments So see Bev, This is super anxiety. My arsehole boss at work, is who I blame. As normally I’m so calm and even tempered. But he tried this bullying technique,as I made a minor error. Things were so bad I couldn’t stop crying from the anxiety. My hubby went to call to see what was going on. so the the security team got called in. Just to save his arse. So then they moved to work elsewhere why this was going on. So you see. You just can’t think properly when this is happening.


message 1582: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments And Bev, I don’t feel very positive at the moment


message 1583: by [deleted user] (new)

I hate bullies.

No, too much anxiety and stress and your brain is not able to function beyond that fight or flight. Or freeze.

I am sorry Melinda. It is really hard when so much happens that effects your well being and you do not have any control over it.


message 1584: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments Thank you Bev, I’ve just been a basket case. And my gorgeous hubby has been so stressed as he’s not used to me being like that. He said I’m just so worried about you. I can’t think properly.


message 1585: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments And I’m still crying 😭


message 1586: by JudyCa (new)

JudyCa | 1709 comments I am so sorry Melinda about what's happening ❤️ (((hugs)))) take a breath...hug your hubby... curse your boss, lol... I hope it all works out for you...


message 1587: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) Hugs and kind thoughts to you Melinda. It's OK to cry! Who cares! Let it out! So glad you have a supportive and loving husband by your side. Hope the flights and trip get sorted quickly.

message 1598: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) OMFG! How did I miss all of this!

Melinda, dear, so sorry you are dealing with all of this crap. Screw your asshole boss! Life's too short to have to put up with that kind of shit! And to see the effect it's had on you--it's just WRONG!

So glad that you got a new flight and hope you and your family have a fabulous vacation!! Thank God for wonderful husbands, and hope so much that you can de-stress! 😘❤️️ (((big HUG)))

Also, prayers for YOU, your dog, and your BIL.


message 1599: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments Jan, that would be great.

Thankyou Nay.

I think I have run over a chinaman. Figure of speech for bad luck.

But no Robin, I didn’t get it. Not surprising though.

We are going to go to the airport and try and sort this out.

You girls are just great. But all the people that I work with are great and so supportive. And have been messaging me. Just to check on me. ❤️

I will keep you posted.
