Only going... Once Around

Once Around by Barbara Bretton was definitely a page turner. I couldn't put the book down. I reluctantly did last night/this morning at about 3 am. Not all the chapters are marked so when I was waiting for the next chapter all I would come across was the # symbol. Every once in a while there would be a chapter number, but not so very often.

Last night it was only myself and my baby girl who decided at 8:30 pm EST, she was going to bed. There were fireworks that was held for one of local festivities last night and they didn't start until 10 pm. Instead of going to watch those and meet up with my parents who had my lovely son there I relaxed, waiting to see if they brought him home last night afterward the fact or took him back home with them. By 11:00 pm I was back in bed reading  a page turner that I only finished about 10 minutes ago.

I hope this is a page turner for everyone who reads romance novels like I do. I don't think this book will go on my list of must read a hundred times, like Fifty Shades of Grey and the CrossFire novels, but it was good. You can decide if you wish to read it just from what I give you about the book. I promise I won't give away the ending that way you have to read if you want to know what happens to the characters.

First set of characters.

Molly Chamberlain is talking on the phone with her soon to be ex-husband, when he says he wants to come home... to get his stuff. She is about 4 months pregnant and he had left her 2 months before for a judge's daughter. After a doctor's appointment the following day she stops at the store to get some things and finds she no longer has credit cards, plus no cash on hand. She heads home only to find her husband cleaned out the house they had shared together, leaving her only the stuff that had been in the guest bedroom from their old apartment.

Rafeal Garrick was walking up to the house when he heard a curdling scream come from inside the intended house of his approach. He raced in and just in time to catch Molly when she almost fell to the floor. She told him what happened and he reluctantly helped her. Gave her some used furniture, and worked off the money that Molly's husband had put a down payment to the Rafe to finish the basement in the house, by doing odd thing around the house. Rafe had fallen for her the first night when she fell into his arms, but he had a dirty secret. (Which you will have to read the book to find out what it is.)

Second set of characters.

Spencer Mackenzie is Molly's divorce lawyer. He is from a well-to-do family that is from Greenwich. He had moved to NYC/Jersey area due to family problems. He thinks he is in love with Molly,  is waiting until she is free and clear of her husband, Robert, to make his move. He has never known real love being the second best to his older , deceased, brother. He thought all marriages were the same. That was until he found Jessy.

Jessy Wyatt is from Mississippi. She came to Jersey for residency after being in Dallas for her internship. she is practicing to become a OB-GYN. She becomes a border in Molly's home when Molly finds she wasn't going to be able to pay for things on her own with her part time work she did at home for the publishing company she worked for. The day of meeting he new, landlady is when she meets Spencer, and knows she is in love. She has found her dream. Now she just has to find away to take his eyes off Molly, and get his eyes on her.


Do both sets of characters figure things out? Does the line of Jessy loves Spencer, Spencer loves Molly, Rafe love Molly end and they find the one they are to love? You will have to read Once Around by Barbara Bretton to find out.

I got my copy for free on amazon.com, but right now it is not free. You can download it for $2.99 for the kindle. Not sure about the other ones. Haven't had time to look yet. I will warn you though, since I forgot to before, there are a lot of mistakes with spelling in this book. That is if they haven't already fixed it and updated it. I haven't updated mine. I only downloaded it maybe a month ago. It might be longer since I haven't been downloading anything new for a month or so. I want to read down some of these books. There are so many on my kindle and I usually download 3 or more a day, but I don't read 3 or more books a day. If I did this blog would be blowing up with all kinds of info on books. Plus I don't read quite that fast. I could read a Harlequin book from 9 am to 3 or 5 pm on a good day and that was before I had kids.

So if you want to find more reads by this author, which I think I seen there was 50 or more of her work other there floating around, then I have a list for you below of all the way to keep up with Barbara Bretton.

If you have read this before please let me know how you liked it. I eager to know what my readers like and dislike. I will not judge if you like something, dislike for that matter, something I do or don't like. I will take any comment, questions, even recommendations on a book to  read. All you have to do is leave those in the comment box below. If you have a lot of my blog postings and want to keep updated please follow the blog. I try and post something about a book, or if it is taking  me a while to get through a book, why it is taking so long, every other day or 2 days. It also depends on how long the book is and if it is a page turner or a yawn, I'm bored and hope it ends soon book.

I will give my opinion of whatever book it is, also a little bit, just enough as not give things away, or try not anyway. It is up to you, the readers, to decide if you go get the book, whether you download or find it in actually book form, if it is available, and read it, or you decide not to read it. I can't make the choice for you, but I can give you an insight as to whether you want to or not.

I want to thank you for reading, and I hope you have enjoyed.

One to the next with Three Days With Molly by Jan Romes.
