A very touching, honest book that holds nothing back. Beautiful feeling the love that the author has for his children and his desire to impart his authentic truth and journey to help them along their path. I will definiteley save this to share with my girl when she gets older.  A lot of great, honest advice for teens as well as humor!

Its such a good feeling, being done a book series thats been going on for years. Of course I regret not just sticking it out and reading all five books straight, but that might have been too much Gideon and Eva for me to handle, in one sitting, you know? One With You for me was, surprising, in a more interesting way than youd expect. Like I said, ENJOYABLE is a very strong term Id use to describe this book and Ill just leave it for readers to make up their own interpretation.

One With You, follows the events of Captivated By You, where Gideon and Eva are trying to plan their public wedding while still trying to handle the day-to-day challenges of being married. Although hes made some progress, Gideon Cross still has reservations about certain aspects of his personal and private life. Hes fiercely protective of Eva, will never compromise her safety, but will also protect her from himself if necessary. Eva Trammell, now Cross, while also getting used to married life and trying to plan a New York wedding in record-breaking time, faces more social challenges and trials in carrying the Cross name, as well as continuing to face the demons from her husbands past.

Try not to take the next sentence the wrong way. (In which case I will not bold).
 I felt like there was no real story, no plot, no direction.
 I felt like this book was just window into Gideon and Evas lives, trying to tie up the knots and cover everything before the end of the book came. Not to say theres anything wrong in the book, but I like direction, I like there to be a point to the story, and with this one I felt there wasn't much. Not my favourite, and the magic of it all seemed to lose its appeal (considering this was the fifth book and all).

I will never get over the love Gideon and Eva have for each other, and in that respect he has ruined me (Gideon I mean). He just loves her SO DAMN MUCH and it just makes you want to find a man who will love you that much. Its not about the money, but the protection and how much they turn you on, how they respond to you, how you turn them on, how they make you feel, how you feel around them. Aside from all the sex they have, I love their companionship and the playfulness between them. Eva doesnt pause to think about telling Gideon she misses and loves him, and he doesnt stop either. Marriages and Relationships (as Ive heard) can get.dull after a while, so its important to keep your partner guessing, keep them on their toes and surprise them. I would love to be with someone who told me in text message, for no reason, that he missed me and that he loved me, who the hell wouldnt want that? And again, its not about the gifts or exotic locations, its about the love.

He engulfed me, his body so much bigger and harder. I felt safe in his embrace, cherished and protected. Nothing could touch or hurt me when he was holding me. I wanted him to feel that same sense of security with me. I needed him to know he could drop his guard, take a breath, and I could protect us both.

There were some things I wish were solved and I won't say specifically what, but events to do with Cary, Christopher, Ireland, pretty much A LOT of the sub-cast had a lot of just.. Okay, thats it? Like I would have liked to see where they all went going forward. Who knows, maybe Sylvia Day will write novellas or something in the future but to think there won't be anymore just makes me sort of sad in a way because I do like the secondary characters and only want the best for them.

Overall, it was a solid book. Not my favourite but Im glad its over.
 Im ready to move onto other things.
 Thank you Gideon, Eva, and Sylvia Day, for a wonderful story.
 Even though it should have only been three books.

3.5/5 Hearts of Love

This is a book about ecstatic experiences -- eating, feeling infused by God, and falling in love. What's not to like about it?

Gilbert does get a bit sentimental at points, and her multiple, vague uses of the "God" notion do annoy a tiny bit -- and she also uses "so" in place of "very," as in "I loved it SO much," which hit my buttons as an English teacher -- but boy, are these small complaints about a book so full of heart that it makes you feel like you're with a friend the whole time you're reading it.

I know everyone on Earth has probably read this book already, but if you haven't, give yourself a treat and pick up a copy. I just loved it.

I took my precious time reading this book because it provided such comfort, I didn't want to waste that feeling. It is clear that the author loves her characters, all of them. The way she writes them, takes care of them and puts so much love into telling their story is clear. I loved how much she wrote about food, bathing, affection, tenderness, every day affection and love. I felt loved reading this. I felt taken care of. I felt fed with the most delicious foods. Clara so obviously loves her city of Chicago. Her descriptions of all the wonderful places in the city make me want to go there and experience them for myself, and maybe hope to run into her characters Will and Sam (and Greg and Kevin, why not?). This love story is beautifully written, I cried quite often from how sensitive and tender the characters were with one another. Do yourself a favor and read this book. I hope you find it as comforting and necessary to have around as I did/do. Also, the sex scenes are hot...

I haven't cried while reading a book in a very, very long time. Maybe its a sign that I don't let things get to me, or maybe its because I haven't truly connected with a book or a character in a while. Regardless, Id forgotten what it feels like to feel for a story, as dumb as that sounds. Kevin Wilsons Perfect Little World made me feel all the feelings, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Izzy is pregnant with her art teachers child. She couldn't be less sure of what her future holds, but she knows she wants to keep the baby. The father, Hal, isn't so sure hes ready for that kind of life and urges Izzy to reconsider. She doesnt, and his involvement in her life ends suddenly  and permanently.

With no prospects for herself or her unborn child, Izzy is confronted with an opportunity she cant pass up: a spot in something called the Infinite Family Project. The IFP, run by Dr. Preston Grind, seeks to study the benefits of communal families. The project is presented as a sort of utopia, where each child receives care from 20 parents and other researchers and parents have the freedom and resources to pursue their life goals without the challenges that child-rearing often brings. But even in a perfect world, there are no perfect people. Inevitably, things get messy.

As a young, recently married woman, I can relate to Izzy in a way that I may not have been able to even two years ago. The prospect of having children, while very far off on my horizon, is not something that is completely foreign to me. I have chosen to start a small family, and I know how it feels to want only the best for us/future children. What would I do to achieve that? As I read, I found myself considering what it would be like to participate in a real-life IFP. Would I give up ten years of my life for a project like that? The range of emotions I felt while considering this was eye-opening.

The way Wilson gently cheers for each of his characters  and there are plenty to try to keep straight  is heart warming. Even when making choices that seem to go against the purpose of the project, theres a real feeling of pride for each character. You want to see them succeed, even if you only get to know a couple of them really well.

I gave Perfect Little World 4 stars in the end. It would have been a perfect 5, but I often found myself confused by all the names on the pages. 10 families means 20 individual parents, plus their one child each, the researchers on top of that, and any side characters brought into the mix. It may have been more digestible with a smaller number but, then again, maybe the effect of the story would have been different. Overall, though, this one is going in my Top 5, and I cant wait to share it with friends and family.

If you've ever had a companion that has been by your side and made a lasting impression, this story will touch your heart and you'll understand the emotion.

This is an emotionally packed book of poetry by a man who is baring his soul to the world. The ravages of raw feelings run deep and I felt connected to the author. I had no trouble visualizing the scenes he depicted and the love he is looking for that seems just out of reach but I have no doubt that one day the one meant for him will come and change his tune. Love does not erase the past, but does brighten the present.  This book is highly recommend and touched me to my heart.

Some of my favorite poems are: Deep Sleep, Tears of a Clown, The Setting Sun, Crumbs, My New York Bunny, The Wren, The Lady from Yukon.

And I have no doubt that The Lady from Yukon would let you have that dance.

I have so much love for this author, M.R. Joseph seems to effortlessly weave stories of love and lust, of loss and regret, of second chances and new beginnings and every single time I find myself falling in love with new characters, as they cement themselves in my heart and soul, I celebrate their joys and commiserate with their sorrows, such is the type of connection I have with her characters, the soul deep affinity I feel for the people she creates.

Max is cocky, arrogant, on his way to being a rock god and funny as hell, he gives as good as he gets and isn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers. Not only is he working the whole self assured angle but he's hiding this huge heart that truly cares for his friends, he's not some shallow, one dimensional character who's flat, his energy jumps off the page, his sense of fun is infectious, and his zest for life and for living each day endears him to the reader so effortlessly.

Willow is the original ice queen, she's rich, beautiful and uses sass and smart arse remarks to keep people at a distance. Willow isn't a new character as such, she's had a good life, loving parents, every luxury money could buy, she has the perfect example of what love is in her parents, and her friendship with Harlow has shown her the kind of love that can exist between friends, but even with all the trappings wealth can provide Willow still guards her heart.

There's a beautiful fragility and yet a fierce strength in Willow, the dichotomy of the two warring sides of her personality made it so incredibly easy to be captivated by her, despite the seemingly shallow image she portrayed to the world at times there was always a depth lurking just below the surface, one that dragged you in, demanded your attention. There were moments of heart wrenching pain, unadulterated joy and soul shattering loss that stole my breath, Joseph's ability to weave a happy and at times silly and sexy romp through early adulthood, and yet blend it with characters that make you stop, and a story that tugs at your heartstrings shows the kind of talent that the author possesses. One that leaves me awe struck, stunned and ultimately so unbelievably overjoyed that I can lose myself so utterly in another world that's at once so real it's tangible, and yet so far away that I can watch the story unfold from the sidelines.

Stumbling In is a story of first impressions and second chances, it's a story of giving in, letting go, and allowing yourself to free fall, it's about believing in yourself, it's about trusting in those around you, it's about friends and lovers and family, there's such a beautiful message that underlies this entire story, and what I adore so much about M.R. Joseph is that, that message can mean something different to each reader, for me Stumbling In reminded me the kind of joy and love that's in this world when we are willing to open ourselves up to it, it reminded me that I am enough, I'm not just my past nor my present or my future, I'm a sum of all of it, and so much more, but more than anything this book reminded me that friendship is precious, to hold onto it with two hands, to savour it, to cherish it, to revel in it because when things fall apart, when you feel broken, the people you surround yourself with will be the ones to help hold you together.
