I purchased these lamps on 5/12/17 and I just love them.  I had a slight accident with one of them just a couple of days ago when it tipped against the wall and stopped working.  I think the stem may have gotten bent.  Is there ANYWAY i can purchase one lamp to replace it?  I am heartbroken!!  Peggy

Im from Gulfport,Ms and it is really a shame that we recieved so little news coverage.  We were hit head on and had tremendous damage and we were just forgotten... All my extended family live in New Orleans so im not undermining what happened to our beloved New Orleans, but lets face it what happened to New Orleans was not Katrina but ERROR in the levees... Gulfport 5 years later is still struggling and will never be the same... home insurance has gone through the roof leaving many uninsured...  My sister lives above I-10 and had major damage to her home.  It is not a contest of who suffered more but the lack of coverage and help to the Gulf Coast tragedy  loss was and is painful...

Without spoiling it, I'm just going to say at 80% I was totally done with this book! I seriously loved this series but I'm completely let down.. I know not everyone was going to get a HEA but it shouldn't have gone down like that...
So 4 stars cause I loved the first two books and 80% of this one but I'm just crushed!!!!!!! :'(

I cannot believe what I just read!!! HOLY CRAP!!! This book is not for the faint of heart. If you thought the last book was bad wait until you read this one. We all know that Darcy and Mason go through many different and difficult trials but this one takes the cake! I do not want to have any spoilers but man if you read this be prepared to go on a rollercoster ride of emotions. There are soon many things that happen in this story and so many of them are heart breaking and sad! AND of course there is a cliffhanger but the events that happen before it are so much worse! This book had me wanting to throw my computer at the wall and had me wanting to cry so much... so reader beware. I hope that Belinda Boring makes this all right in the next book with the whole gang and everything turns out how it is suppose to be.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Little did I know what was in store when I began reading this book about a woman named Maude. I loved with her and hated with her and repented with her but her Holiness teaching lead her to believe falsely that we could reach a state of sinlessness through prayer but my Bible doesn't teach that. Oh what grief she could have saved herself and others if she knew that "all have sinned and fall short" until reaching heaven. It was well written and her family members were well described but the constant deaths and grief left me depressed and sad. I was so angry with George, Bud and Paul. What worthless bums all three were. The contrast between Gene and Betsy Sue were striking. Her daughter's death was so crazy that I did not believe it until I saw the news clipping. I actually cried much more than I laughed as there wasn't anything to laugh at. If only James had lived her life would have been a dream but when she was forced to marry George Foley and move to MO, well, the nightmares began. And what about that old, mean Ma Foley? She was a piece of work!! I think she killed her husband. It is difficult to believe that all this was true. But when I saw the pictures of Gene, Evelyn and Donna at the end of the book, I knew it wasn't fiction being told of her unusually tragic life spanning three states in TN, MO and MI. I did not surprise me to hear that Bud fell off a truck after drinking all night and Paul was killed on the streets of Detroit. A fitting end for two of the worst characters one could imagine. I could go on and on but I won't.

I just can't imagine suffering so terribly in a marriage and then after 45 years she divorces him....what? I don't think I would recommend this book and all those 5 stars seem totally strange to me. But to each his or her own. I am not sure that if Maude was my grandmother, I would want anyone to know how weak and spineless she was in not standing up to these idiots in her life to stop them. Paul and Bud evoked such anger in me that I had to repent. If I had to do it all over again, I would have stopped reading and deleted this book. Thank goodness it was only $3.00. Anything more and I would demand a refund! I also looked at some of her other books and the reviews are no better. No more Donna Mabry books for me. Sorry!

Not sure what to think!

 It's November 16, 2014 and many parts of Michigan just got dumped on with 6-39 inches of snow, Ouch!
Today the wife and I bundled up and headed outdoors with the Snow Joe. My first impression was "hmm, I expected better with 4 inches of snow".

My back was killing me with just after 10 minutes of use with this machine. Would I buy again? Probably not but it's better than the shovel.

**UPDATE
Battery compartment is loose and will not latch properly. Plus, the battery does not fit into groves therefore it does not stay running.

Requesting to send back for refund

First I want to say how sorry I am for your loss.. I have lived in Duvall for 35yrs and remember when this happened. I met Rich right before this happened. A house my husband and I were renting while we building our second home in Duvall was for sale and he was the listing agent. He stopped by sometime after we moved in and introduced  himself and wanted to make sure that if there were ever any problems or concerns to give him a call and he left his card... He seemed to be a very nice man up beat and caring... When the story broke after it happened I realizes it was the same man who came to our house, the Duvall real estate man. I couldn't believe it and was scared because I was a stay at home Mom not knowing what had happened. I was sad when they found him, but relieved when they found the person who killed him. It's so sad to think we lost such a fine person to such a senseless crime. I saw the book on Facebook and saw it was about a real estate man from Duvall. I don't like to read these kind of story's but decide to down load it and read it. Haven't put in down in two days....I don't think I ever want to go camping to many evil people out there. God Bless his wife for standing up for him and the others... I believe he is in a better and safer place with god ....I hope she has found some peace in her life....May God Bless her and her family and give them peace....

I so totally enjoy McCullough's books, this was an event I had never heard about---so learning of the total devastation to individuals, communities, and the entire area was so sad and emotional.  One wonders how many other times on our history the super wealthy have taken advantage, or a no -problem attitude, and caused so much hurt to so many.  I hope not often.

What a gut wrencher!

This is the first story I've read from this author and it completely ripped me apart. I was gutted from the prologue and every few pages something would happen and it'd rip me back open again.
First, we have Elizabeth and her husband Grady; you can feel the love between them and the love they have for their four children. They were proud of their family and life was great.... then, Grady gets sick and leaves Elizabeth all alone to raise her four kids without the love of her life. And that just isn't fair,is it? To think you get a lifetime with someone, wanting that so much and then finding out that just isn't true.... my heart broke for her and my heart broke for her children. I can't even imagine and I dread the day I may have to find out what it may be like to live without my dad or my husband. How will I cope?
I thought Ms. Higginson done a beautiful job navigating through the grief process; I mean everyone experiences it in a different way and although sometimes it felt like she couldn't get through it, she did... Especially when she had Ben's help.

Ben moved in next door. Not married, no kids and seemed to be okay as a workoholic but was changing it more and more. At first he becomes the friend that Elizabeth needs; he waits patiently until she feels comfortable around him, then until she can trust him, then trusts him with her children which, is a scary thing for a mother. She doesn't rush him or bring him around until she trusts him and I liked seeing that; the kids had already lost their daddy, they didn't need someone else coming and going after they got attached. I loved how slow they both took it and how okay Ben was with that. I loved Emma and how she was there for her sister but also good friends with Ben; I loved that Liz also kept in touch with Grady's mom and brother even if she felt like an outsider sometimes, there was no bad blood and very little awkwardness, but hey, that's to be expected, isn't it?
This whole story was just beautifully depicted and I loved reading through the process of losing a great love and learning to find it again. Learning to find oneself again and learning how to go on living even though you feel like the biggest piece of you is missing. It was such a fantastic story and I was so glad that I got a chance to read it.

If you like slow-burn, low angst, heartbreaking and hopeful reads, don't pass this one up. You'll get through it and be glad you did in the end. I wouldn't mind reading more about this family :)

My name is Dante Van Orton.
My son Wolfgang below is describing what could have been a tragedy on his well being. After only two months owning the bike.
As I left the house I rode the bike to school as usual, my rear wheel locked on me I fell off the bike took a look at the wheels and they appear normal so I continued riding believing it was a minor hiccup.," As I was traveling down to school with generous speed the rear tire completely locked again and sent me flying over the handlebars, at that moment. The tire locked up ripped and the inner tube exploded leaving me injured and within striking distance of being ran over by the morning traffic".
I'm extremely disappointed by the lack of quality on this item that could have cost my son Wolfgang's life or any other kid that rides it.
I kindly demand a full refund and expect the company to do a truly inspection on this bike models.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely.
Dante Van Orton
Still have not received a call.

Ugh,were to start! I have waited for this book for MONTHS! The way book one The Perfect Distraction Ended killed me. Knowing that Kate and Reed were both heart broken left me heart broken lol. But she ran from him because after what happened with Kyle she needed to work threw some things in her own time. She needed to work threw the taught's that she has used Reed. Well in her head she thinks that anyway. And NOW I have to wait for a book three. I'm pretty sure Melissa is trying to Kill me or punish me for something LOL.

So ANYWAYS this book takes up just as she is starting back college after her winter break away from school. She hasn't seen Reed and just can't bring herself to talk to him. It hurts to much to even talk about. BUT Reed doesn't wanna give up that easy. He tried to move on when she first left and couldn't get pass kissing a girl without shoving her away because she wasn't Kate.

So He wants to get back into Kates heart slowly. And there is one sure fire why to do that.....Tennis.......

It is after all what got them to were they were before the Kyle drama. So he starts off by leaving her a box of tennis balls and asking to meet up at the court.... Just to play no talking needed. AND it just happens to be just what she needed because Kate sucks it up and agrees!

So they start fresh. Playing tennis and getting back in to there Saturday mornings together. He won't push her. But one Saturday she floors him,she starts talking

"Salty or Sweet?"

Something so simple starts the ball rolling again. She starts back the game the used to play! And Reed couldn't be happier.

Thats going good for them But Reed wants so much more. He wants to claim her as his. And it doesn't help thats Andy is sniffing around her. But what Reed doesn't know is that Kyle is also sniffing around. He is not wanting to let go of poor Kate. Constant Emails that she refuses to read keep coming. And somehow she has no idea how he gets her Phone number and the texts are added. Plea's to talk to him and forgive him. YEAH RIGHT! Jog on buddy!!!!

But Reeds waiting finally pays off though. And soon enough he is able to break down Kate's walls. But *sigh* nothing is plan sailing is it? Because not only is Kyle like a dog after a bone BUT Reed has his own Clingy ex now willing to take a hint,actually he has more then one. And with Kate's track record of running when things get tough he is terrified of loosing her. Add Reeds over bearing,ass of a father to the mix and you can see nothing is gonna be easy.

BUT If you loved Kate and Reed in book one then you will fall in love all over again with them in this book. And yeah your urge to kick Kyles ass will be there all over again. But now you will wanna kick more then his ass LOL. I Cannot wait for Book three! AND I cannot believe Melissa is making me wait all over again! She is lucky I loved her books so much So I'll go easy on her ;)

I don't understand how a writer could be so cruel to the fans. You didn't have to take her! did she not give enough, not sacrifice enough, not risked her life enough for others!!!! you could have given Caleb redemption. I'm heartbroken, I will never read anything written by you again. EVER!

This book has been good up until this point. Spoiler alert!!!

The crazy wife lies to her husband about having a miscarriage, then goes and has an abortion the next day. Wtf!! Some of us actually have had a miscarriage and it's incredibly wrong for it to be a part of the story!! It's one of the most heartbreaking things that can happen to a women and she just threw her baby away. Maybe it turns out farther along that she didint actually go through with it, but I don't know that I'm going to get to that part. I'm amazed no one else has mentioned it yet! I have really enjoyed Liv Bennett's books, but this was just too much for me as a woman whose been struggling for the last 18 months to get pregnant and keep a baby!

Edit- I did finish this book, just to see what happened. At the end of the book, the ex wife has drugged the H, the h is going to have sex with him even though he is saying no over and over again. That's rape! Just because it's a man doesn't make it ok.
