Resumen del Editor

Kara has serious doubts about herself after the birth of twins. She had no idea it would be so hard taking care of one baby, let alone two. With her self-esteem fading into oblivion, she's forced to choose between being a mom and having the career she always wanted. Kara is stubborn and refuses to ask anyone for help, even her husband.

Dave loves his wife and new daughters more than anything, but since the girls were born, he feels Kara slipping further away from him. Will Kara realize she doesn't have to conquer the world alone and find her way back to Dave? Will her meddling mother-in-law use this opportunity to sabotage her and Dave's marriage?

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Quick and hot

This is a great depiction of what happens when a couple has a baby. Kara has been focused on their twins and not her own desires. She feels like her body has changed and shuts her husband out. They are able to get a weekend together alone and passion takes over. Melanie James does a fantastic job with this whole series!

Loving this series!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Kara & Dave to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, only because I absolutely love listening to Hollie Jackson tell the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Kara.

What about Hollie Jackson’s performance did you like?

I love how she brings the story and the characters to life.

Any additional comments?

I could really relate to Kara. Having twins myself you go through many emotions. Not feeling pretty anymore and thinking your husband feels the same way you do about yourself. I love how this series examines the real problems that occur in a marriage, and yet the couple's love for each other prevail above all else.

Hollie always does a fantastic job bringing the characters and story to life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I just had to laugh when Dave found out some of the things his mother was doing to Kara, his wife. I love the "dinner" he put together.

Relatable

Melanie James’s short story about meddling family was relatable in so many ways! Thank goodness Kara’s husband Dave was so supportive and patient in their relationship!! Gah!! Dave’s mother was the mother-in-law from Hell!!👿 It’s wonderful to see successful solutions to marital issues. Hollie Jackson’s performance was great.

Relatable

I feel like this is a very relatable book. I'm sure many women feelt his way after giving birth. Especially to twins. I've read two books in this series so far and both have been great. Very humbling.

Marriage Therapy

This book 2 is much like book 1 in the series as it's about a married couple "on the rocks" who get some good advice from their neighbors on Eveiller Drive. What happens next is very explicit make-up sex, tastefully done, and everyone gets a "happy ending."
