Just Josie ，

Another fiver。 The setup just seemed so believable。 Lots of teenage attitude， lots of struggling making things right， lots of self discovery， lots of taking chances， lots of angst， lots of drama， lots of everything。 The banter was by far my favorite part。 Mickey & Amy going at it was just everything。 I guess the reason why I adore KA’s writing so much is because they work at it。 The characters， that is。 They make an effort。 And that effort （both ways） is everything。 Read: 28/09/20221st rating: 5 Another fiver。 The setup just seemed so believable。 Lots of teenage attitude， lots of struggling making things right， lots of self discovery， lots of taking chances， lots of angst， lots of drama， lots of everything。 The banter was by far my favorite part。 Mickey & Amy going at it was just everything。 I guess the reason why I adore KA’s writing so much is because they work at it。 The characters， that is。 They make an effort。 And that effort （both ways） is everything。 Read: 28/09/20221st rating: 5 starsGenre/tropes:Contemporary romance/firefighter/neighbor/kid drama/ex’s/angstCover: 3 stars POV’s: Dual- 1st person and 3rd person （Mainly 1st/Amy） Will I recommend: Yes 。。。more

Athira ，

I read it years ago。。。 Adding this today though。

Reread。 This one has stayed in my mind。 Although I had forgotten about the nursing home， the bully conflict， and how they enjoyed fighting as foreplay。 CW for grief， bullying of your child， cheating， alcoholic spouse/parent。 You have two people who are in their late forties， divorced， with teenage kids， they become neighbors， but the road to happiness is bumpy。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I always enjoy Kristen Ashley prose and I am glad she is writing about more mature characters， with second-chance love。I like the Magdalene setting and I am a sucker for single dads。I breezed through Soaring， pages were flying by， I was really intrigued by Mickey， though not a fan of his swearing and bossying。Only thing I found not convincing was the “All I need is you” rethoric: with 25mln as a third untouchable trust fund as a safety net， I could not really feel Amy as a low maintenance lady， I always enjoy Kristen Ashley prose and I am glad she is writing about more mature characters， with second-chance love。I like the Magdalene setting and I am a sucker for single dads。I breezed through Soaring， pages were flying by， I was really intrigued by Mickey， though not a fan of his swearing and bossying。Only thing I found not convincing was the “All I need is you” rethoric: with 25mln as a third untouchable trust fund as a safety net， I could not really feel Amy as a low maintenance lady， regardless of her volunteering at the elders home。 And I was annoyed at Mickey for getting his inheritance without talking to Amy first。I still love Kristen Ashley books and will read more in the future。 。。。more

Alaïne ，

Kristen Ashley est une référence pour moi en romance contemporaine。 Avec ses héros machos et ses héroïnes plus fortes qu’il n’y parait， je passe toujours un moment fabuleux et c’est pour cela que j’ai une case dédiée à ses romans dans ma bibliothèque。 Ce roman ne fait pas défaut à la règle puisque malgré les nombreuses pages， je l’ai dévoré。 Un deuxième tome qui peut totalement se lire en indépendant comme souvent avec cette auteure。 Je vais essayer d’être sage et de ne pas trop parler ！Amélia v Kristen Ashley est une référence pour moi en romance contemporaine。 Avec ses héros machos et ses héroïnes plus fortes qu’il n’y parait， je passe toujours un moment fabuleux et c’est pour cela que j’ai une case dédiée à ses romans dans ma bibliothèque。 Ce roman ne fait pas défaut à la règle puisque malgré les nombreuses pages， je l’ai dévoré。 Un deuxième tome qui peut totalement se lire en indépendant comme souvent avec cette auteure。 Je vais essayer d’être sage et de ne pas trop parler ！Amélia vient de s’installer à Magdalène dans le but de récupérer sa famille。 Cette quarantenaire， brisée par un mari infidèle， veut tout faire pour obtenir le pardon de ses enfants。 Et si la petite ville pouvait réaliser plus d’un miracle ？ Le point positif de cette saga et qui peut être négatif pour certains vient de l’âge des protagonistes。 Nous sommes dans des tranches de vie et surtout des secondes chances donc chaque personnage principau a plus de quarantaine。 Et c’est tellement mon mood actuellement ！ J’ai eu du mal avec Amélia au départ。 Trop sur la défensive， trop larmoyante jusqu’à ce que j’ai le déclic et je comprenne ce comportement。 Un passé familial riche， mais chaotique。 Des espoirs réduits à néant。 Comment continuer à croire en soi ？ Plus nous avoncons notre lecture， plus j’ai aimé cette femme。 L’héritière， c’est l’histoire d’une femme qui va se reconstruire et redevenir elle-même。 Une femme qui va comprendre sa valeur et qui va se battre pour le bonheur。 Elle n’est pas seule。 La notion de famille est très importante donc ces enfants sont en première ligne et qu’est-ce que j’ai eu envie de leur tirer les oreilles。 Manipulations， mots blessants， ils ont l’air et la manière de faire du mal à autrui。 Mais heureusement， la vérité éclatera。 Elle se fait des amies。 Et qui d’autres que Josie et Alyssa pour lui souhaiter le meilleur des accueils ？ Un plaisir de les retrouver。 Sur ce point， ce que j’ai préféré， c’est la force imposante d’Alyssa pour faire comprendre les choses à Amy。 Des amies comme on en aurait toutes besoin。 Sans oublier Robyn aussi folle que touchante。 Mais c’est aussi l’héritière et les hommes de sa vie。 Son frère， drôle et disponible。 Toujours à l’écoute de sa chiante de petite soeur et comment ne pas craquer ？ Boston Stone， égale à lui-même。 Sa mesquinerie est à son apogée。 Bradley et son honneur bafoué。 Conrad， imbut de sa personne et tellement toxique pour son ex-femme。 Puis Mickey， bien sûr。Mickey est notre protagoniste masculin et un personnage déjà apparu dans le premier opus。 Un héros que j’ai autant aimé que j’ai eu envie de tuer à plusieurs reprises。 Un père de famille dévoué à ses enfants。 Un bosseur sans limite。 Un amoureux prêt à tout pour sa femme。 Un homme blessé par son passé。 Nous apprenons beaucoup de choses sur lui et sa façon d’être。 Il peut être un imbécile， il peut être énervant， blessant， mais il sait aussi réparer ses erreurs。 Et même quand ses actions étaient préjudiciables， il savait tellement se faire pardonner。 Coeur d’artichaut activé ！ Une romance douce et sauvage à la fois。 Comme le tome précédent， la relation prend son temps。 On peut cataloguer cette histoire à un slow burn。 Ça se charge， ça se blesse， ça se trouve。 Mais ca se construit un avenir et c’est superbe。 Bien sûr la famille de Mickey est aussi présente et je suis fan de ses deux enfants。 Cillian et sa bonne humeur。 Un enfant solaire et terriblement drôle。 Aisling et son adolescence。 Un brin de jeune fille qui va s’infiltrer dans votre coeur pour ne plus partir。 J’ai aimé retrouver la plume de Kristen et surtout ses points forts : les multiples thèmes exploités et traités avec justesse et bienveillance。 Ces personnages sont humains et c’est ce qui rend cette lecture sublime。 Ici， encore une fois， beaucoup de thématique comme les relations toxiques， la confiance en soi， la famille， le harcèlement， l’addiction et les différences de catégories sociales。 J’avais promis de ne pas trop parler et une fois lancer， impossible de m’arrêter。 Un régal comme à chaque fois avec cette auteure。 Je suis totalement fan et j’ai hâte de poursuivre l’aventure avec Coert qui nous a laissé quelques indices。 Sans surprise， je vous recommande fortement ce roman。 Il faut absolument ouvrir un de ses romans un jour dans votre vie ！ 。。。more

reading the review。 You’d already given me everything I’d ever need just letting me sit at your dinner table with your family。 First ImpressionsSoaring is the second book in the Magdalene series and this one is loosely connected to “The Will” if you have read that one I don’t know why I have been putting off this series， as the first book is one of my favorites from this author， but I think it was the set up with the heroine that made me apprehensive but I can proudly say that this book won my heart and very easily。 I would put this one in the category of a classic KA。 I really was so drawn into this story and wanted so much in this book and KA definitely didn’t disappoint me。 I was so curious to see what would happen with this couple and they definitely don’t have an easy road but this one was so reminiscent of a “brady bunch” retelling in some respects anyway。 The writing is phenomenal and has some angsty delights including some hot angry sexin’ which with KA you know will be so well done， and we have an older more mature couple which I find so refreshing。 You definitely can never go wrong with picking this author up。 And I knew with that one look I wanted to see those eyes every way they could be。 Yes， I wanted that but I also wanted more。 I wanted to make him feel all the things those eyes could communicate to me。 I wanted to make him happy。 I wanted to make him laugh。 I even wanted to make him annoyed。 But most of all， in that moment， I found myself wanting， in a myriad of ways， to make those beautiful blue eyes heated。 SummaryAmelia has decided it’s time to build a home in Maine， to be closer to her kids， and to have a fresh start。 She purchases a home labeled “Cliff Blue” which is an architectural delight on the coast of Maine and she moves across the street from her ex so that she can rebuild a relationship with her two children。 But when she moves in， her ex arrives and starts yelling and swearing at her， until she is rescued by a sexy handsome stranger who happens to be her next-door neighbor and a captain in the firefighter department， insisting that her ex be respectful and no woman deserves to be yelled at like that。 There is an instant chemistry between Mickey Donovan and Amelia。 And even though they have lots of sparks， Mickey also has two kids who are struggling with a alcohoic mother， and he wants to provide the most stable home。 But when jealousy erupts between them， they start to realize that what they have is real and lasting and should work on building that。 As Amelia works on rebuilding her connection to her kids， and starting something new with Mickey， she starts to find herself in a way she never expected and will fight for those she loves… “I’ll warn you， might make me crazy， might make me a dick， don’t give a shit， but I get off on goin’ head to head with you。 So if you feel like keepin’ your gloves up， baby， bring it。 ’Cause I know after doin’ it for a while and then gettin’ that kiss from you， you keep doin’ it， when I finally fuck you it’s gonna，” he leaned deep into me， “wreck you。” What I LovedSoaring is such a powerful romance and it won my heart so quickly， there is such a sweet “splice of life” feeling to this book and I will be honest I absolutely adore the style that this author writes。 She can write such powerful reads and I was so drawn into it here。 For the first third of the story， there is so much angsty chemistry between Mickey and Amelia。 It’s this type of relationship where they both want each other but also they are both in denial。 They get in the most hilarious shouting matches which occasionally turns into （angry sex—and yeah these scenes are smokin’） but I also really loved the soft and sweet moments that happen between them。 I really loved how honest Amelia is with herself and the mistakes that she has made， how earnest she is to reconnect with her kids and what it actually happens it’s such a beautiful thing。 Then we have Mickey who is such a solid father and citizen。 I love how devoted he is to his job but also to providing the best environment for his kids。 I love that they both have kids in their teen years， so both in their forties but still hot and sexy and I really loved it when we see them actually be in a relationship and work on building it together。 There is occasional drama， but it’s realistic and relatable and totally fits our pair so well。 There is plenty of heart that is packed within this story and the chemistry is on point， there is this deeply layers of intimacy that will draw you in like a moth to a flame， and it’s a story that will be such a page-turner you won’t be able to put it down。 There is nothing guaranteed in life。 But the only leaps really worth taking are leaps of faith on love。 So look where you leap， beautiful， and happy landing What I Struggled WithThere isn’t much I would change to be honest， maybe slightly less angst but its a “just right” romance。 Overall ViewSoaring is an intensely riveting romance that will bring all levels of emotion to the surface， it’s a power-packed story that is atmospheric in its setting， thriving in its intimacy， and fully balanced that delivers a satisfying end！ I am who I am。 I have what I have。 And one of the things I got that I wanna keep is you。 。。。more

Another great book by this author。 I have been absolutely loving this series and getting to catch up with previous characters although their stories by no means dominate this new book。 It’s refreshing to see love in 40s-50s instead of the 20s and 30s all the time。 Naturally at this age there tends to be other children and blended family dynamics。 The author did a wonderful job of portraying these and I must say I have NEVER laughed as hard as I did in this book。 Fabulous 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars。

The second book of Kristen Ashley's Magdalene series is just as good of a read as the first。 Although the author seems to have a system format for her writing is does not take away from the heartbreak and growth of her characters。 If you are looking for a lovely romance with character growth this is the series for you。 The second book of Kristen Ashley's Magdalene series is just as good of a read as the first。 Although the author seems to have a system format for her writing is does not take away from the heartbreak and growth of her characters。 If you are looking for a lovely romance with character growth this is the series for you。 。。。more

This Romantic tale is about Mickey and his new neighbour across the street with the multi million dollar view home “Cliff Blue”。 Amelia Hathaway followed her ex husband & their two teenaged children from California to Maine to heal her relationship with her children。 Mickey sees her ex husband verbally abuse her on the front steps of her new home and marches across the street to defend her honour and she has never had anyone stick up for her like that。 She starts to fall for Mickey that night。 M This Romantic tale is about Mickey and his new neighbour across the street with the multi million dollar view home “Cliff Blue”。 Amelia Hathaway followed her ex husband & their two teenaged children from California to Maine to heal her relationship with her children。 Mickey sees her ex husband verbally abuse her on the front steps of her new home and marches across the street to defend her honour and she has never had anyone stick up for her like that。 She starts to fall for Mickey that night。 Mickey is divorced and has a daughter and son whom he shares custody one week on and one week off with his ex Rhiannon an alcoholic。 Both Amelia and Mickey are attracted to each other but they put up barriers to protect themselves。 There is a sexual tension between them and they like to spar。 They date other people but are not really interested in them as they deny their volatile chemistry。 One night Amelia and her date dine at the same restaurant。 Amelia is wearing a sexy little black dress that shows cleavage。 This is too much for Mickey and he ends up kissing Amelia passionately in a hidden alcove and asks her to break up with her boyfriend。 This is the beginning of a budding romance with lots of relationship issues in each family with exes and kids。 Through many trials they make it work with lots of steamy romantic scenes。 This was a great second addition to the Magdalene series。 I enjoyed this story as much as the first book The Will。Quote:“It was a bad situation and it had been shit， watching Mick deal with the decision of having to tear his family apart in an effort to make them stronger by giving his kids healthy for the part time he had them and dealing with the fallout after they came back from her。He didn’t know what was happening with Mick’s ex now。He just knew Mick wasn’t a man to put his children through that with their mother only to find another woman that might bring anything into their lives other than the soft that came about Mickey when he took in her smile。 。。。more

I liked this， but a bit less than the first book （The Will）。 This had an interesting premise too in that the heroine was the scorned women who made her ex-husband's and his new wife's lives difficult and was now remorseful about doing so。 I felt sad for the heroine when initially her children rejected her and did not want to spend time with her; however， the change in her children's attitude was sudden and I wished the author put more time to make us see how their relationship improved。 I liked I liked this， but a bit less than the first book （The Will）。 This had an interesting premise too in that the heroine was the scorned women who made her ex-husband's and his new wife's lives difficult and was now remorseful about doing so。 I felt sad for the heroine when initially her children rejected her and did not want to spend time with her; however， the change in her children's attitude was sudden and I wished the author put more time to make us see how their relationship improved。 I liked the hero and his children were lovely too， but I did get annoyed with him when he was frequently bothered by the heroine's wealth。 One of the best parts of this book was reading about the residents of the Old Age Home that the heroine volunteered at and how that experience changed her。 Overall， I did like this。 。。。more

This is my least favorite Kristen Ashley book。 Mickey is unrecognizable as the same hot guy that was in The Will。 His boxing was just a blip in this book which was surprising since he was ranked number two right behind Jake。 I thought this would be a romance between Mickie and Amelia but as usual in Kristen's books the story was taken over by the kids。 Mickey had his kids， Amelia had hers and occasionally they would meet briefly when the kids weren't around。 This is my least favorite Kristen Ashley book。 Mickey is unrecognizable as the same hot guy that was in The Will。 His boxing was just a blip in this book which was surprising since he was ranked number two right behind Jake。 I thought this would be a romance between Mickie and Amelia but as usual in Kristen's books the story was taken over by the kids。 Mickey had his kids， Amelia had hers and occasionally they would meet briefly when the kids weren't around。 。。。more
