Critic reviews

"Had me emotionally involved right from the start.... Brilliantly written." (That Thing She Reads)

Tough one...

I loved the writing and this story felt very real. My only complaint, and it's a big one, is that the ending was very abrupt. i needed more from Michael as what happened shouldn't have been rug swept.I believed he was sorry but it fell short. Narration was very good as well.

Nothing exciting

There is nothing to this story . I can summarize it in in a sentence …. Don’t read beyond this point if you don’t want to know ending . Even though u can guess less then a quarter way in .

Husband cheats she ends up taken him back with less then exciting way they delt with the way they felt in between (like u could guess)

Didn't finish

Heroine is a victim of her own making. Yes the hero cheated She didn't let him be a dad. She wanted to be a mom before a wife. marriage can not work that way. Ok rant over.
