47 never felt so good!

This is my favorite Kirsten Ashley book! Thank you for making Amelia in her late 40's! We need more women like this helping society see that being in your 40's isstill YOUNG and sexy! Great story and kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Good, long slow

slow at beginning, finishes with a punch. i enjoyed it beginning to end. awesome read.

Ok

I waited until I read all three books in the series before deciding to leave a review. This one was my least favorite. I really struggled with the main characters but then there were moments I really liked.

Mickey was too much of a jerk to Amelia and I think he gave off way too many mixed signals. I don't like how he made her feel when he told her it wasn't happening in the beginning especially after trying to draw her into his family. Even when he finally pulled his head out of his behind, he still wasn't that great with her.

I'm a bit confused with Amelia's behavior before she changed for her kids. It sounded like she didn't really do all that much wrong but then sometimes it seemed she did. If what I got out of it, her kids did not treat her very well for what happened.

Once they were together, while I still didn't love Mickey, I did love some of the things that happened. I'm pretty torn on how I feel about this book so I rated it in the middle. I don't think I will read this one again.

As for the audio book....same narrator from the first book and I have the same issue with how much older she sounded. I'm curious if anyone else felt the same about this.

Good "feel good story" line

Great story. Sometimes the descriptions were to long and pointless. A little slow at first but I stuck in there and really got involved.

A good read

Enjoyed Soaring very much. Only thing that put me off is the constant swearing. Felt the story could go without it.
