*Book 1 of The Three Of A Kind Series
MY REVIEW:
This by far has to be one of the most
enjoyable books I have read. This was so
laugh out loud funny it made it effortlessly enjoyable to read. Each character has their moment at least once
if not several times to take the lime light.
Yet, there are some very tender moments that are so heartwarming that
you realize just how truly gifted this writer is.
The story line mainly revolves around Melanie
Hanson, 37 and her two twin daughters Gia and Carrie Maynard (16). Of course what would a special or should I
say non-special appearance be by her ex Alec and his oh so young ex-mistress and
now new wife and mother of his new bouncing baby boy, Amber, (24) be if not
exciting.
Two years since her divorce and all she
does is get up, get the girls off to school, work at her bridal salon (that she
is part owner with mom,) come home cook dinner, visit with the girls and start
all over again. The last 2 years they go
to their dad’s every-other-weekend and this weekend was extend due to
vacation. So Jodi who has been her best
friend since 6th grade books them a mini vacation to Cancun, Mexico. When you are with Jodi you never know what’s
going to happen this mini vacation was no exception. She thought that 2 years without my vajayjay
being visited by anything other than my super powered shower head. They were going dancing and drinking.
It’s all fun and games until you wake up
next to the most gorgeous, muscled, and sexy naked man she’d ever seen. Damn he couldn’t be more than 25. Oh no when she looks down she’s naked
too. She very gently gets up not to
disturb him she gets dressed. She finds
one of her shoes but can’t find the other until she sees it under him… She can’t
believe what a perfect specimen like himself would ever see in a much old woman
with, “Oh No! I had twin’s scars!”
She’s been home back in the swing of
things when she goes into work her mom says she has someone in to fix that leak
in the sink. Melanie goes to put her
lunch in the refrigerator and she sees the guy under the sink and sees by his
junk that that is not elderly Tony the man that normally does it.
As she goes walking back in the direction
of the front of the store she hears this guy cussing up a loud storm. She laughs and says what happened to
Tony? Her mom said he just sent him his
nephew. What the heck is going on back
there is all she could think of. Her mom
goes down to the coffee shop to get them some coffees when she decides to do
her makeup before the store opens.
When all of a sudden the guy sneaks up
behind her making her drop her very expensive face powder. When she turns to scream at him her air is
cut off and she can’t speak. She knows
him. He made her life a living hell, for
two years in high school. Calling her, “Smellanie”
OMG! None it’s none other than Ben Wilder, (39), who sat behind her in French
class. Seems he has no clue who she even
is or was.
On one of her many calls throughout the
day Melanie fills Jodi in on who and what the kids are doing. She tells her that she ran into Ben. It was the girl’s weekend with their dad so
Jodi said they were going out. Well, who
do they run into? Ben and his friend
Rick. By the end of the night Rick and
Jodi were paired off and Ben and she were too.
The affair started soon after hot and heavy. Ben is always holding back and never shows
emotion. Other than when he’s having
sex. I mean no one knows he has a son
for a while that in fact goes to school at the same high school as Melanie’s
girls.
Life becomes crazy when they realize their
kids go to the same school. Events that
happen are beyond funny. You will not
regret reading this story. You will find
yourself at times picking sides and then jumping sides. But all the time you know Melanie loves her
girls and they love her. I give this
5++++ stars. Provided by Net Galley.
