Review: Read "Tempted" First
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 22, 2013
** spoiler alert ** I am simply crushed all over again by "Everything Changes." Megan Hart has completely captured me and made me fall in love with a storyline that I never thought I would get into. I am into this. Big time!!Not gonna lie . . . I just logged into Amazon and damn near bought every last book Megan Hart has ever written after reading this one. I am so impressed with her writing style, her narrative voice, her punctuation, her flawless subject/verb agreement. The confident ease with which she writes hooks me in. I love her. Megan Hart is this English Major's wet dream. That woman can write.Book 1 was an emotional roller coaster and while Book 1.5 wasn't quite the ride of Book 1 (duh, you already know the ending), it filled in some gaps for me. It cemented my theory that Jamie and Alex belong together but that circumstances such as youth, growing up, marriage, denial, and now sanctioned marital shenanigans, has kept them apart.I understand that Book #2, "Naked," is where Alex finds love, but I am praying there will be Book #3 (there is definitely a Book #3 in my perfect fairy happy land) where Alex and Jamie have a chance at a HEA, so that something good can come out of all the realness that went down in Books 1 & 1.5. The two men are the real love story here. To me, Anne was just the vehicle for the two dudes to get from the "Friend Zone" to the "Friends Who Do Other Fun Stuff in the Same Room Together Too" Zone. Jamie might not be gay with other dudes, but he is madly in love with Alex and this Megan Hart Fangirl thinks they deserve a chance at happiness.This was a quick, fantastic read. But it was also like watching "Titanic" for the 87th time (yep, that's me). You don't want it to sink, but you damn well know it's gonna.p.s. It is so rare for me to give 5 stars to a non-HEA book, but damn if I don't love Alex and his POV. I kept my rating of "Tempted" at 4 stars only because Anne's POV just pissed me off!! I don't like her much.
