Modern Family, Modern Love

Funny, sexy, sweet. A twist on love, and family.  "Game, Set, Match is a honest take on an interracial romance without making it all about race. Well done!

Ok, this is definitely a 90210, or modern version of it.  However; it's entertaining, and you really find yourself rooting for Sam and the Cade brothers.  I was expecting that it may be way too modern for my generation, but it wasn't.  Not very realistic though, I will definitely give it that, and way too much sex, but hey, I guess I'm a bit of a book prude.

Received a copy of the title in exchange for an honest review.

So I wasn't the biggest Lovey fan, but oh my goodness, am I a Jenna and Andrew fan.

Andrew has been part of the McFadden family for years, and the family actually took him in when he was 16 after his family lift crumbled apart. No one knows the true need of family like Andrew does, and it's a need that he's not willing to break up -- but he's had his eye on 'little sister Jenna' as long as he's known her. One weekend in college had them moving forward, but quickly Andrew was reminded of what he needed in his life, and he and Jenna agreed friends/family were what they were meant to be.

Now it's Christmas time and Jenna's come home with a man -- must be serious, right? But Andrew can't help but pick out all the ways he's so wrong for Jenna.

This was so fun to read. Partly because Andrew tried to hide, again and again, his distaste for Jon by playing the big brother role, but it's all in the looks, the touches... Jon's no fool.

Now Jenna needs to determine what she wants -- but more than that, Andrew needs to determine what's more important, the only family he's known, or the chance with a woman he's wanted forever.

I absolutely loved this story. The timing was a bit quick if you were just to look on the surface, but Andrew and Jenna have history -- familial as well as sexual, so this isn't a relationship they just jump in blind to. I loved the emotion, the chemistry... I just absolutely loved Andrew and Jenna (and they'd be surprised at who loved them together, too). I was surprised to find this to only be a "half" book; I do hope we see more of these two in the future (who's next, Duncan?! He needs a new lady, you know...).

Funny , crazy, extravagant, and loving. Reminds me so much of my family, not the money part but all the family drama. Hope there's a part 2!!!!!!!!!

A well-rounded, fun and topical view on today's world of modern romance, Right Click, Love sees our two single characters set up a blog to post about their dating experiences. From the moment I read the first paragraph, I was hooked...not only on the idea behind the story, but on the characters, and their not always quite successful experiences in the dating world. It made me realize how the dating scene has not become easier, but in fact is probably more complicated than ever. M.B. Feeney has a style that is entertaining, funny, and unique with its British flavor and well-rounded characters. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Great read.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE. THE RAZZELLED MOTHER AND THE HAPLESS FATHER, SIMPLY HILARIOUS. LOVED THE FAMILY VALUES. REMINDS ME OF MY OWN FAMILY GROWING UP. SO SAD THAT FAMILIES OF TODAY, DONT APPRECIATE SIMPLICITY OF LOVE, FAITHFULNESS, SOLIDARITY OF THE BOUND WITHIN FAMILY AND GODLINESS.

It is really all about what you consider love. For some it is being cared for, for some acceptance, and for some it is the willingness to go beyond what you already have.  Megan Hart explores the concept of love as dominance. Not sadomasochistic whips and chains, but having the woman "in control". Our nice Jewish girl heroine, Elise, is into sex. She likes to be in control, she has herself photographed in pornographic poses and she enjoys frequent orgasms. Vanilla is the story of her finding a middle ground where both she and a good man, find an acceptable place. For her, this is love.
I liked the fact that she is an ordinary woman with family, friends, a job, etc.;not some freakish woman who is seen as enjoying perversions. In today's world of modern families,
Elise represents just another way to be. Ten years ago this novel would be seen as hard core porn; today it just is. I am personally glad that we can accept her as she is without negative labels.

I am revisiting this series from my childhood, and truly appreciating it this time around. The writing is superb, allowing exploration of real life issues apropos to today's modern families as well as the family of yesteryear. Not every problem is easily resolved, or resolved at all, by the episode's end. But the Walton's navigate this ocean with love. This makes for deep, meaningful, television you can feel good about showing your children and watching yourself.

Heartland is an amazing show. The family dynamics are true to form. Lou is trying to be a super mom. Wife, mother and a career. Typical to today's super moms. Just that she lives on a ranch. Amy trying to save horses and a lot of the times their owners too. One situation at a time. Lets not forget the head of the family, Jack. He is the glue and leader of the Fleming clan. I just wish he could find love again. Just not with Lisa Stillman. Then there is Ty. A perfect young man who has gotten past his

Loved this contemporary novel about today's multi-year relationships. It's so difficult to keep the spark. Put yourself in the characters shoes, answer the questions honestly, remember what it's all about!

A beautiful non-traditional love story with a sifi bent. Good for the whole family. Love story for me. Sifi for my hubby and son and not too much smooching to burn my 14 year old son's corneas.

I enjoy the way in which Debora captures a sense of family and community in this series (A Modern Witch Series), something sorely lacking in today's society.  To blend new technology with the old world way of thinking is done flawlessly ... in a world where cell phones and tablets take the place of a face to face conversation, it is refreshing to read these books in which these people WANT to get together and be closer to one another.  I look forward to the next books in the series (this is #3 for me).

4 Stars!

This book is exactly what I needed when I picked it up. I've been reading such intense books lately that I need something a little bit on the lighter side. Now, don't get me wrong this was a light read in the sense of actions that took place however the psychological effect of this book is complex.

Have you ever been divorced because you found out your ex-husband was actually gay? We hear about it from time to time and most of the time people typically go their separate ways and lead their own separate lives. What happens when you have another ex-husband BUT you have a child with them and you need your first ex-husband to come in and save the day? You confused yet? haha

This story is about a family - Julie, Mandy (daughter), David (gay ex-husband) and Henry (2nd ex-husband). It's mostly about how they navigate their life and ultimately how to many sure that Mandy is doing the best she can in life. There are a lot of real situations that come up in this book: single mom trying to afford a home and working 2 jobs, two divorced parents fighting over where their child should go to school, finding love after you've been divorced, etc.

The thing I loved most about this is how the family was able to come together. They may have had their differences but when it came down to situations (Mandy doing inappropriate things, help was needed so David flies across the country, etc.) they were all their for each other and found a way to make it work. Oh! and this book gave me quite a few chuckles along the way and I love a book that makes me laugh at times!

If you're hoping for some sort of twist then you'll be let down. There isn't any huge twist in this however it's incredibly relatable about the modern day family and that is why I really enjoyed it. Plus it's set in a beachy town and I love when books transport me to a warm place :)

I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a good family based story and enjoy reading about complex family issues that the modern day family goes through.

There's nothing like reliving the coming of age years. The time of young love, ups and downs amongst friends, who remained friends regardless disappointments. The talks from parents and just plain good old family love. Where has the time gone?

Were dealing once more with a family of brothers, each one getting wedded to the woman they love. This one deals with the youngest in the family, Jamie Quinn.

Jamie gets infatuated with the lovely Regan Macintosh. Shes a little gun shy about love and marriage. Getting left at the altar by your drunken, would-be husband will do that to you.

The book deals with the two as they attempt to negotiate lust, domesticity, house-building and the gentle machinations of the loving, shrewd Ceci. Ceci is Regans grandmother and, in a genial twist on the romantic genre, she is rediscovering love again after losing her husband years ago. The book takes time to outline Regans attachment to this wonderful woman who is having fun again, dying her hair and taking trips (although it comes about because shes getting involved with a man againsigh). Some of their conversations aren't about Jamieanother surprisebut about whats to be done with Maple Point, a lovely bit of land that Jamie wants to use to build one of his Habikit houses on.

Jamies idea of houses for the homeless that can be erected by one person to live in temporarily before going on to more permanent abode is one that appealed to this reader. It occupied my thoughts even when they weren't focusing on the romance.

Jamies attempts to win Regan to his side, confessing his love and letting her decide if she wants him enough to try, were very touching. Theirs is a whirlwind romancetheyre involved less than a month before deeper feelings start to arisebut, unlike the majority of such romances in Harlequin novels, I could see this one working. Neither of them wants the other to give up their lifestyles, even though they will keep them apart very often. They respect and are willing to make room for the other person.

The novel doesnt end with the expected HEA and that, too, won my respect and my wholehearted approval. For a romance that seems more grounded in reality and is refreshingly contemporary in tone, this is one you should try.
