The Keys to My Diary: Marina

By: Ann Omasta

Narrated by: Ann Omasta

You can visit the Florida Keys by peeking inside Marina's diary!

Hello. My name is Marina Carpenter and I am divorced.

I never in a bazillion years thought I would have to utter those words about myself.

Fern, my BFF, thought it would be a good idea for me to work through my hurt feelings by writing in this journal. It doesn't seem to be working.

Maybe I need a hot, young, motorcycle-riding tourist to help me forget this overwhelming sadness for a bit.

I'll just need to remember that it's a temporary fling. No problem...right?

Sneak a peek inside my diary today!

Fans of Tracy Brogan and Tracey Alvarez will love this delightful beach (or wishing you were at the beach) listen. Grab it now.

Self esteem is something that should be nurtured

After a devastating marriage, which had taken her self esteem and self worth away from her, we travel with Marina through the next year, through the writings in her diary.
It's a poignant reminder of what we do to ourselves when we allow another to share their lives with us. Depending on the others character, we can become greater or lesser of a being. Our self esteem and belief in our ability to achieve should not be dependent on another person's beliefs, and yet, that is often what happens.
Thankfully, we can see both sides of this influence within this story, and hopefully it can help others be strong to throw off shackles of a domineering relationship, knowing what damage such a relationship can do to a person's ego and self worth.

Oh my, there is hope for all.

OMG! What a great story with loads of laughter and love. We should all be so lucky to have a Gus in there life as well as Marina. Love this unusual way of getting lost in romance!

Audio Brings Her Thought’s Out

A friend suggest Marina write in a journal after her divorce. Giving her access to deeper thoughts about Frank, her ex. What he keep doing, and how self estimate plunged. Some thoughts replayed themselves, until she released them to become who she really was. With the help of some other male and females along the way. The audio is a good way to listen to the writings of her diary and narration was good. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Love With A Boy Toy

I loved this sweet, sexy story about a new divorcee who falls in love with a somewhat younger man who sweeps her off her feet.
The second in the "keys" series it follows the format of entries in the heroine's diary which provides an interesting point of view that reveals all of the heroine's secret thoughts and dreams but conceals everything she doesn't know.

I had so much fun earing this

Once again I have proof that Ann Omasta is a wonderful writer. Can't wait for her next book.
