Scarlett and Jonathan
579663
Forget the haters, this is by far the best science fiction film since 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I really love Stanley Kubrick, so there it is.  Jonathan Glazer has done a very brave thing here: he has asked us to consider what it means to be human. Being human is complicated. Books and films too often want us to believe that being human is simple, linear, a journey with legible topography. Glazer, via Michel Faber's original source material, reminds us that being human is anything but simple, that being human is complicated and life is mostly meaningless. The older I get, the more I realize that life is mostly meaningless, and Under the Skin is a punch to the gut, a reminder of this simple truth.

I've enjoyed Scarlett Johansson's work since Ghost World, but wow. Where did this come from? Her portrayal of Laura/Isserley is a fully fleshed out creation, a reminder that being human is often terrible, inscrutable, horrifying, and mostly meaningless. Life can also be funny, if you happen to enjoy British comedies.

If you hate novels without plots, if you skate through life doing your nine to five routine without ever questioning it (also meaningless), you'd be wise to avoid Under the Skin, it will only piss you off. I loved it, but then I understand that plots are for dead people. Please be warned: there is a very disturbing scene at the end of this film; not suitable for small children.

After Sean learnt that Penelope made the whole thing about him being the father to her unborn baby, he is absolutely heartbroken, the fact that he found out that Penelope's baby is another mans. Because of him finding out all of this he went into a depression stage but it was thanks to Scarlett that helped him get through it all. Now that Scarlett and Sean have made up completely and have everything back on track they both head to Connecticut to tell Sean's parents in person that they are both engaged but the weekend doesn't exactly go to plan.

When they both get back to Seattle as now Sean moved over there to be with Scarlett they both have a massive argument about where they want to get married. Scarlett doesn't want to get married over at Sean's parents house due to a number of reasons but the main one being she would rather have a small intimate one with Ryan, Janice, Cortland and Monique. Whereas Sean want's to get married over at his parents house, Sean honestly can't work out why Scarlett doesn't want to do any of it and it results in Scarlett walking out the next morning and heading straight to her brothers place. In what was only meant to be a short time away from each other turns into weeks due to Scarlett's past coming back to haunt her.

As soon as it's revealed that Scarlett slept with Cortland, Sean is mortified as he thinks that it's happened whilst they been together but no matter how much Ryan and Scarlett try to convince him otherwise that she would never cheat on him. Scarlett realises that she has hurt Sean which has resulted in him not being able to trust her and the fact that this is the first time that she has caused hurt and pain to their relationship, she honestly has no idea what she can do to make it up to him.

Scarlett is hoping that Sean will be able to forgive her for what she has done as she hopes that if he does truly love her like he says he does then surly he will forgive her considering she forgave him when he betrayed her. Will Sean find it in his heart to forgive her, if he can go to her when he needs to satisfy himself then you'd think that maybe there is a chance for both of them.

What will Sean decide to do, will he keep his promise to her and stick by her or will he not be able to find it in his heart to forgive her and move on without her. You will want to know what happens between them and just to give you the heads up this book will end on a cliffhanger. When I was reading this book I felt like I was there with the characters, the story captures your heart in a way that I wasn't even sure was possible. You won't regret it by picking up this series.

It was very well written and the pace was good. I'm picky about my characters and I loved both Scarlett and Tucker. They had great chemistry.

Scarlett may have a southern name, but that's the extent of it. However, when you're given the ultimatum of losing your job and becoming homeless or accepting a transfer to South Carolina, the smart thing to do is take it, right? She can learn not to swear, which is apparently a no-no there, bless their hearts...maybe. Unfortunately, her first day in her new town doesn't not go well, to the extent of a hospital visit. The upside? Meeting a sexy nurse named Austin, except she didn't make a good impression...too bad the foot in her mouth didn't stop her.

Austin knows that not only is Scarlett crazy, she's also high-strung, and though he knows he should stay away from her, she also laughs at his jokes. And if she's under the misconception that he's as sweet as sweet can be, shouldn't he do the neighborly thing and let her see the real Austin?

Austin and Scarlett both had pretty crappy childhoods, the difference is how it's impacted how they presently live. Austin has avoided love and relationships, it isn't long before he realizes he and Scarlett are a perfect match. Now, if only he can convince her.

Can Austin help Scarlett adapt to her new southern town? Will Scarlett see the real Austin and embrace what they could have together? Can both Austin and Scarlett find peace with their individual pasts and build a future with one another? Is a HEA possible?

Tucker and Scarlett are thrown together because he's a jock flunking math and she's a math tutor. They're total opposites in many ways, but similar in others. They each had a rough childhood that affects them still.

I found their angst totally believable and grieved for the pain they suffered. Their chemistry was great, too.

A very enjoyable read.

Loved this book! Had a difficult time putting it down. Its right up there with the first Scarlett Bernard series- awesome! When the old and new world clash, this book is what happens.

Some spoilers below...youve been warned
What to expect: fast-paced action, magic, guns, fight scenes (epic battle at the end), wild hunt, kidnapping, Luparii, new characters, death, Scarlett finding love and a more stable environment,  Scarlett making some stupid mistakes (which is understandable given her history), some swear words, a sex scene (minimal description), and more that I know Im forgetting.

I love the future is open for a spin off with her child. I can only imagine the fun those books will bring. (Please Melissa, pretty please!)

I listened to the audio book, which is great, with the exception of the British accent for one character (sorry, its a bad accent).

I would highly recommend the first Scarlett Bernard series, followed by this series. Book two of this series is more of a filler and the one I didn't care much for, but it serves a purpose, so you should read/listen to it.

I love Saint! Saint and Satan, aka Rory and Scarlett.

Scarlett believes she is damaged beyond repair. Rory believes otherwise, although everyone reaches a breaking point. Everyone.

Scarlett's story is as traumatic as expected. Rory, fun-loving Irish syndicate brother, wants so badly to make her leave de better. She wants to part of it. Hatred turns into something more. Caring can cause more pains d walls go up in self-protection, for them both.

Theirs is not an easy story, nor is it rewarding. But feeling safe bests it all. And that epilogue?!

I'm a huge fan of GONE WITH THE WIND having gone so far as to name my only child, Scarlett Olivia Mitchell.  Anyway as much as I was disappointed with SCARLETT - I absolutely was pleasantly surprised with RHETT BUTLER'S PEOPLE.  We had a cold rainy Thanksgiving weekend and how nice it was to curl up by the fire with this book.  I think it would make a grand Christmas gift for any GWTW fan.  Loved the ending - loved the back stories!

I have gotten so caught up in this series thanks to the writing of this author. When you go with Michael whom is trying to find his sister he will get something else in return. I also enjoy the conversations they have with their inner wolves. When Scarlett enters his sights lots of info will pass on him but you also get their story up front real fast. This is also not your a typical mate story which is refreshing in itself. Get your fix of drama also with this one. Filled with Heat with a lovely crescendo that brings you back down with gravitating for more.

OHHHH- How many O's is Jonathan capable of?
SAY- SAY what you want about this couple, their love is fierce and full of fire and protection
CAN- CAN you feel the pleasure and pain within the words written on the page?
YOU- "YOU cry when I say, not sooner...Two. I can hurt you...Three. I'm concerned about you. Very concerned. Four. I want to kill whoever made you cry. Five. You don't call the shots. Six. I wanted to reach into your injured places and destroy you. Seven. My heart breaks when I see tears on your face. Eight. What kind of man thinks, 'I wonder how far I can take this.'" Jonathan is perfect!
SEE- SEE how creative Jonathan can get to make Monica understand their dynamics in and out of the bedroom.

What an amazing peek into Jonathan and Monica's life after marriage. You don't have to necessarily have read the previous Submission series books, but it will definitely help you understand this couple. This is a few days/weeks in the life. Monica is preparing to sing the Star Spangled Banner before a Dodger game and has to come to terms with her perfectionism and what she is willing to let go of.
Short and hot and full of the perfect "Monica and Jonathan" that we've come to know and love. Highly recommend it if you have already read the series and if you haven't, might as well get a taste of them this way!

Jonathan and Charlotte were a favorite of mine from the first time I saw them on their audition on BGT.  They're stupendously beautiful voices are complimentary to each other, but unlike Simon Cowell, I don't think that Charlotte was going to hold Jonathan back - I think that they were both holding each other back.  However, this is a gorgeous example of their voices working together with wonderful songs that are favorites of mine, especially "Perhaps Love" which has been performed over and over by different opera and pop singers to my delight - one of whom was the late John Denver.  I'm so glad that Jonathan and Charlotte made this recording before splitting to show how well a pop voice and an opera voice can work together.  You will not be disappointed by this CD - and it makes a wonderful gift.

I am a huge fan of GWTW and I even enjoyed Scarlett.  This book is an alternative to Scarlett really.  If you can approach either book with an open mind then this book delivers what it promises, more Rhett Butler.  I have been pining for him for a long time and I am more in love with him now than ever. Donald McCaig did not disappoint with his portrayal of Rhett.  It was an entertaining read that left me satisfied and smiling.  Nothing is going to match or even approach the magnificence and scope of Margaret Mitchell's original.  It has it's own category and noone should be subject to comparison against that masterpiece.

I thought that although nothing can touch the original GWTW, this comes pretty close, not just anyone can write about Scarlett and Rhett's love affair, however I felt that the ending was quite rushed and I wished that things hadn't ended as abruptly as they did. all together if you're looking for closure in the drama of Rhett and Scarlett, you've come to the right place.

I really enjoyed this book. Scarlett and Zach have been friends for a long time neither is looking for a relationship so when they hook up at a friends wedding they decide to be friends with benefits even though it's not really Scarlett's kind of this you will just love these two they will have you laughing one minute and want to smack the crap out of Zach the next minute a really good read that you are not going to be able to put down

Scarlett has been in love with her friend Ash for 10 years. He has been her protector since she was born.  He has wanted and loved her for a long time, but never thought she felt the same. She thought the same of him. Now that lines are crossed, she pushes out of fear of losing her friend. Great friends to lovers story, very hot.
