5 Amazing Stars!
Review by Natasha Gentile
This woman can write the
phone book, and I think I would love it.
When we meet Mike Rouger in
Until November we fell in love with this dad.
I know what your thinking a dad, but this isn’t your ordinary dad.
His height of six feet on the dot would probably not be
tall to most. His dark hair, which was
always unruly, still looks the same-long enough that, if you happen to be
standing nest to him, your hands itch to run your fingers through it. His naturally tan skin, which turns golden
after a long summer, always makes his hazel eyes appear more emerald. The tattoos that now cover his arms and chest
are something new, but they also tell their own story and change his classic
good looks to something more rugged.
Why is it that the dads that I meet
are nothing like this, in fact, I think they are the complete opposite of this
description, making me wonder, where this guy lives, because, clearly I need to
visit this town!
When he meets Kathleen Mullings in
the hardware store he is a shocked to hear that she is back in town. Kat and
Mike know each other from high school, and he seems taken aback.
“Do I know you?” I ask, watching as her cheeks darken
even more as she looks around the hardware store. Cute, I think as I watch her look for an
escape.
“Kat. Well,
Kathleen Mullings.” She shrugs
Well, shit. I
look her over again, but this time I focus on her eyes-the same eyes I would
look into when I was supposed to be studying.
Instead, I was wondering what Kat would do if I ever kissed her. We never hung out with the same crowd, but
back when we were in high school, I would look for excuses to hand out with
her. After graduation, she went away to
school and I stayed in Tennessee.
So now Kat is back in town freshly
divorced with an unruly teenager in tow. So
with nothing to lose Kat and Mike start a relationship. Well I’m not sure you can call it a
relationship, they have sex.
Lots of sex, and lets be honest I
would also. I would jump his bones every
single chance I get. Twice a day if he
wanted, but that’s me.
But Kat is done with this casual
relationship, she wants something more, she deserves something more.
“I can’t do this anymore.” Okay. The words are out. I can breathe again.
“What do you mean you can’t do this anymore?” His eyes narrow further and drop to my hand
as I pick up my bag.
“This thing between us…I can’t do it anymore” I shake my
head, lifting my bag up and over my shoulder.
“This thing?” the words are growled and his eyes sweep
the room.
I take a second to think about what I need to say before
opening my mouth again. “You were honest
with me and told me that you weren’t looking for a relationship.” I take a breath, feeling my heart speed up.
“Nine months ago, I was okay with that because I felt the same way. I smile but feel it wobble. “I no longer feel that way. I want more.”
And just like that my heart is
shattered. Broken. How could you not want something more? I want something more, and I’m not even Kat.
So Kat does the only thing she can
think of, she goes on line dating. Oh
dear, here goes nothing. But she wants
Mike and no matter how many dates she goes on, she just can’t erase him from
her heart. I mean it’s Mike, how can you
erase greatness from your heart.
Imagine her surprise when on a date
she ends up at none other than November's house for a family BBQ.
My stomach drops.
No way. Fate cannot be this
cruel. But the chance of another woman
named November living in this town is about as likely as being struck by
lightning. I’ve never met November, but
Mike talked about her often, along with his granddaughter-he even brought up
his son-in-law a few times, bt I never put two and two together.
When I got to this part of the
book, I swear I couldn’t read fast enough.
With every turn of the page, I laughed and my heart started filling with
more love than before. I mean come on,
how much have you pissed off Karma that you end up at your exe's daughter's house
for a family BBQ. Obviously a lot. Huge.
Oh did I mention that at said BBQ we also see all the Mayson men. I know, freak out. It was so good to see them all back together
again.
Now that Mike has cleared his head
and decided that he and Kat are going to happen. We go on a very special love story. You see they still have the small or shall I
save little road bump known as Brandon, Kat’s son. I shouldn’t say road bump, it’s more a
hiccup.
Ladies meet the next alpha man star
Brandon, he’s an 18 year old with chip on his shoulder bigger than the Grand
Canyon. He is lashing out, with drinking
and stupidity. Kat is beside herself and
is at her wits end. Enter daddy
Mike. He doesn’t want to tell her how to
raise her son, but he can be there to give his opinion. I actually loved watching Mike nurture this
young boy into become an amazing man.
So now that everyone is on the same
page, it’ll be a piece of cake..NOT, that would be too easy for everyone. So what happens when the life you know changes-you can either give up or get that second chance that you know you
both deserve!!!
Well done Ms. Reynolds, in a small
story you have made me fall in love with more characters, and I for one am so happy that Mike finally
got his chance to tell his story. But now my question is
when are you going to give us more Brandon?
I mean with a family guiding him like the Mayson men, he is a mini Alpha
in training!
