LK , how do you find the medical stuff and explanations?? I just read Blah Blah Blah ... when they are talking about what had happened to her.I just don't understand them so I ignore them :D

I'm at 51%. Ryan's been a real @$$ so far. Hope he improves. Kate's a bit cold but considering he is a stranger to her it's understandable.

It's going to get hot ;)

Okay, I’m at 68% - not quite 75%, but close, so I’ll update. I’m getting ready to start Chapter 17. They just (view spoiler)[made love for the first time. I thought that was pretty hot, especially for a married couple scene.

ShoSho, I think you wondered at Katie’s logic (post #23). I totally get it, especially after what the doctor told her and the disappointment Ryan felt and her daughter’s rejection. I felt it was coming on, especially after the earlier scene in the park – she just wanted to run away from it all. Or felt if she was out of the picture, they'd all be happier.

I bet all of this would be pretty overwhelming and worrying. Is she bringing trouble to those she loves? I could really see her worrying about Simone, too. Scary that she wants to go to Canada and scary that all the people on the last at Janet Kelly’s house are dead! Eeep! (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, the medical stuff is pretty well done. The only thing I wondered about was Jake being a neurosurgeon; he'd bring in pretty good money. Sure, not billionaire money, but she shouldn't have been too surprised by the houses she saw way earlier in the story.

Yeah, that is the point where he starts to change. Good thing, too, as I was getting fed up with his attitude! LOL!

BOOK QUOTE: (view spoiler)[ “Wait for me,” she whispered, kissing him harder, riding faster. (hide spoiler)]

Well, that changes the meaning of the title a bit. LOL!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I do like that he kept his wedding ring on all those years... and thank the dear Lord above that he (view spoiler)[called her Katie at the right point in time! (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Also, I forgot to ask: (view spoiler)[What is Ryan keeping from Katie? He said something about it to Mitch, which Mitch wasn't thrilled about. Somehow, I don't think this is a good idea on his part. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

I was expecting him to (view spoiler)[call her Annie and ruin everything . I'm so happy with this author so far . She doesn't use misunderstanding or miscommunication to fill the pages. Everything is logical but not expected . I love the surprises ! (hide spoiler)]

I think it is something about (view spoiler)[how much he knows about the drug.I hope he tells her before she figures it out by herself.
(hide spoiler)]
I was wondering if she was on any medications after she woke up !

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I loved Ryan's mother!

(view spoiler)[ I was LMAO reading Kate's and Angela's conversation
Book quote: Angela lifted her mug. “Kate was thirsty after a night of wild sex with our son.” (hide spoiler)]

The next book is 80c on Amazon . I think I'm going to buy it :D

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Or maybe not ! Not a lot of good reviews

I didn't trust Hanna from the start and I think she's involved . (hide spoiler)]

I'm done! Loved it .

I think so too!

[Gisela, Moderator]

99% I knew it!

Heehee

[Gisela, Moderator]

That should be 90%

[Gisela, Moderator]

94% (view spoiler)[ Why on earth is she leaving? I'd be spending as much time as possible with my kids! (hide spoiler)]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Gisela wrote: "94% [spoilers removed]"

That was(view spoiler)[ my only problem with the book . But I guess she needed time to think ?! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Hanna and family kidnapped Annie to make Ryan suffer . But what were they planing ? If the plane hadn't gone down and she hadn't struggled and resulted in the accident ,what would they have done? Just kept her prisoner or what ?
With all the planes going down ,I was thinking an organized crime Mafia or something was behind the whole thing , not a couple of people . (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Sorry, I finished, too. I just had too many carbs for lunch and took waaaaaaaaay too long a nap.

So...

(view spoiler)[I didn't like Hannah because she kept calling Katie Ms. Alexander. LOL! She pissed me off! (hide spoiler)]

ShoSho wrote: "I loved Ryan's mother!"

Yes, that was pretty funny! LMBO!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yes, ShoSho, regarding Post #74, I thought that part of the ending was the weakest part of the story; the bad guys plans weren't quite up to exactitude. Still, I really, really enjoyed the story.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

True, Gisela, about Post #73.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Poor Mitch! But I did like the promise of a new outfit. LOL!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

LK , I need to know . I'm listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain ,(view spoiler)[ is he going to lose custody of Zoe ? (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

My lips are sealed!

No please tell me ! I'm dying here !

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Aww....

[ShoSho , Moderator]

You're cruel !

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

(view spoiler)[It has a happy ending. Does that work for you? (hide spoiler)]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Lisa Kay wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

Yes . that's better :D

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

So, I bought the next in the series for this one; it is only 99¢ on Amazon. However, I think I'll wait to read it. The series name works for the Double Decker Challenge, "AA."

I got it too.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

You see that I gave it 5 stars despite the 2 problems I mentioned in post #74. That's because I just loved the way the story was told and the emotions. They felt real and the book engaged me in a way no other had done in a long time.
What's your rating ,LK?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I gave it ★★★★½. I just loved it... for all the reasons you listed, ShoSho.

[Gisela, Moderator]

I gave it 4 because I like you guys mentioned the emotions felt real, Kate's struggle to fit in with her family, Julia's reluctance to have a relationship with her mom and Ryan having to accept that his Annie is gone and falling in love with Kate. The lost star is because (view spoiler)[the bad guys' plan relied too heavily on coincidences and what I mentioned above. Also Reed is never really fleshed out and we don't see her interacting with her parents much. (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I agree, Gisela. (view spoiler)[Especially about the bad guys' plans. And I noticed that about Reed. Poor little dude, didn't get all that much attention. There was only one scene where I felt he got dedicated attention from Kate, which in the beginning, made her come across as even more cold, at least to me. (hide spoiler)]
