I saw this post by this lady and she was celebrating finding new love but then maybe six or eight months later all things went south. Many relationships start and finish in a flash. I carried on and decided I'd start a new book. Yes, I love to read!!!
By chance, I
came across this story by Ava Lynn Wood. It made me think of one of my favorite
shows, Sweet Home Alabama. Although the story line is different, it had a sweet
magical touch of love as Sweet Home Alabama in my opinion.
This story starts of with a young lady that's experienced her first heartache which devastated early in life. She leaves home or what one might say 'the familiar' to start new. Only when she get's up to go she walks in to more heartache. It only took her eight years of marriage to discover the pain that involves a chick her husband hired. Positioning her to be" reduced to strangers sharing a home." Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can imagine but you can read the book 'Irreplaceable' for more details.
Let's just say..."When your husband tells you he hired the new chick because
he was trying something new" take heed to what the so called 'new' level is.
Perhaps, this sounds like some preparation to explore new ground...I'm just saying. But you tell me, is it cheating if plans are just made to cheat? Typically, once you discover the lie...you start storing your own secrets. However, in this story, Anna left town with a secret.
Immediately,
I knew the secret Anna was withholding from Will. It just made sense, but it
was one of those things like I know, I know the answer but I am going to keep
reading to confirm what I know is correct (if that makes any sense).
One of my favorite lines, “I tried to bottle you.” This
captured his longing for her on a deep level and it was one of the most romantic
lines I’d read in a while. I read it several times as my heart caved in at the
words.
It was nice to see a man long for a woman the way that
he longed for her. I appreciated reading and imagining that aspect.
My Dislikes: Many women believe they are not a
success, and wish they had a relationship. Having this state of mind typically ends up in more
drama. In the story, I disliked that Anna was apologizing often. I wished she
did not think of herself as a failure; nonetheless, I could actually understand
the role of her not feeling accomplished. Which is how she ran straight to more
drama…she packaged her heartache without resolving it. Of course, Anna (like so
many women) thought she was headed to safety. But unfortunately, not unpacking
a broken heart will make you lose a sense of power and sense of accomplishment.
What if ?: Running away should not be our first game plan. If, we know we have feelings for someone and it doesn't work out why do we want to leave first? Sometimes we really don't need to be in a relationship. Why? Neither one of you are mature for the demands put on the relationship.
Let's be blunt, sometimes a guy is not going to know how to appreciate you. Plus, his brain is still developing. Let's be serious a child's brain takes 25 years to fully develop. Not all people understand this. That's why at 38 he seems like a different guy...He is...his brain is more developed. In the story, Anna got back in touch with a person from her past.
They both had to grow up to be ready for the woman/man they grew to be. I enjoyed the story line of the story which
is very important to me as a reader. Experiencing their sex encounters was a
plus. I was most captured with the story line and creative approach of grabbing
family life in the midst of a relationship. Awesome story and great read!
