Not your average love story

A twist to a happily ever after love story. Love the main character and her views in love and the definition of a "soul mate"

Loved this book. Not your typical romance. Lots of hiding relationship, rough language, controversy, sex and eventually things work out. Please read as you will be surprised.

Not your usual love story with lots of relationship ups and downs, some murder mystery, paranormal themes and plenty of complex characters, but still enjoyable to read.  This is the first book of Noelle Greene I have read and I am now looking forward to reading others.
If you are interested in romance with more than just the usual angst this is for you.

OMV(oh my vajay-jay) This ain't your everyday love story. James Crow writes a down right deliciously dirty story that is in it's own way, albeit odd and filled with a little degradation, very romantic. Sometimes love doesn't follow a conventional course, however I guess the ends somehow justify the means. At first I didn't know if I should be rooting for Jonathan and Emma Jane to get together or for her to run as fast and as faraway from him as she could. But by the end I found myself cheering for them to end up together. Sometimes love is strange, but even us strange little weirdos deserve a happy ending. Also learned some interesting factoids in this book, so it was not only entertaining but also educational (if you know what I mean *winks* ) All in all one great read. Now I'm off to read Six Toy

This book was hard to put down! Just when I thought it was going to be a typical "boy meet girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back" love story, I got quite the surprise! This book had several twists that I didn't expect at all. Although many of the ideas in this novel would not work for me, it did make me consider all the different lifestyles people have. This novel touched on love, abuse, family traditions, and family secrets.  This was not your everyday love story.

I must also mention how I enjoy reading books that are based in the Chicago area. It's refreshing to read about places I've visited. Job well done!

This is not your typical short romance story between two young people.  Instead this about an older man who sees a woman who has been mistreated and wants to help her.  He does so by marrying her and only after weeks and months does she change.

A unique love story unlike any I've ever seen before. Lots of darkness with a lot of lightness too, it's a beautiful look at an unlikely couple that proves a connection goes deeper than circumstances.

I enjoyed this book even though it was different than my normal romance stories. I really was not sure I would like it when I first started reading it, but I learned to like it and got caught up in the story and learning bits and pieces from Dean and Liv's past. I was about halfway through this and I decided I probably would not be going immediately onto Arouse but the ending had me fiending for more when it hit me hard and had me wanting more.

This story was not what I was expecting it to be. It was good and different than anything I've read lately. It's very well written. This story is more about Katelyn's journey and self discovery than it is romance. There is a romance story threaded through the story but it isn't really the primary focus. Katelyn has been going through a hard time adjusting to divorced life when she has a close call with death. The life that she sees flash before her eyes is not the life that she has been living, things are very different and she feels very connected to it afterwards. Even a year later it still draws her to figure it out and the possibility that it could be real. This starts her journey. Katelyn figures out quite a bit about herself and where she falls with things as she tries to find out what is real, what is this life and what she wants out of life.
The story flows really well from place and time. I liked getting the history and watching how that played out. There are a few twists and turns that you won't necessarily see coming. There is a happy ending and it was a very good story. If the blurb intrigues you, check it out.
I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

The characters are 360 - seeing them from all sides. I enjoyed the book and recommend this read!
It's not your "typical" love story. It is a real story, a story of heartache, love, loss, understanding different kinds of love and about how lives get blended together. Just lovely.

This is not your typical love story.  You have a May December romance where the third side to the love triangle is a child of one of the people involved.  I know that this sound like it could be creepy, but it really was not in any way.  This next sentence is spoilerish, but I think it is important to share, so avert your eyes if you really do not want to know.  There is no cheating.  There is no sharing.  There are none of the elements that could make a triangle with family members creepy.  To be honest, I really felt this story was more about Lilli discovering herself and becoming the person who she truly wants to be despite the odds stacked against her more than it was about which man she was with.  That being said, both Jackson and Cameron helped her on this journey, but in very different ways.  I really enjoyed this book and am glad I stumbled upon it while blog wondering one day.

Cyrus is not the typical modern day romance story hero. He is older, for one. For another, he is described as "ordinary looking" until he smiled. And, though he is a billionaire, he doesn't have that cocky-alpha-i'm-too-sexy-and-successful-for-my-suit vibe.

Brie is not the typical modern day romance heroine either. She is not that young (30). Nor is she stunningly-gorgeous-enough-to-stop-traffic-but-does-not-know-it as most heroines are. Regardless, she was confident in herself and unwilling to change herself to suit a man.

They seemed real, well, as real as fictional characters can get. The focus of the story is in the build up of their relationship. There is a connection between them that went beyond the sexual tension. There were a lot of secondary characters that were a little hard to keep of track of. But, they did add to the story as they played pivotal roles in the resolution, especially the butler, Gordon.

It was an amazing story. I didn't have the ending figured out. At least not entirely. It is a love story but not the typical love story. So much feeling. Makes you reflect on your own life's relationships.

It's not the typical love story it's thoughtful , filled with love,  hope and a sense goodness.  I enjoyed the writing the  intelligence of the character,s.  Here's to sharing kindness to all those less fortunate and how much the kindness can change a person.
