Book:Forgotten Romance by Saxon James


Anyone is free to join in this Buddy Read! Happy Reading!

I've just started and this is a pretty sad one so far--and I'm not at all sure how it's going to get resolved. I hate the idea of Davey having to compromise too much (but I bet it will be happily resolved).

The blurb on this one reminds me of The Bad Husband's Handbook. i'm going to start it later today.

So, I started reading this.
OMG. I want to cry. My husband was military so I get the leaving, but he was always gone weeks, not just days and we usually had lots of notice, but I just want to cry for these.

I can see in Davey's head going...I love him. If this is what he wants, then I will give it to him.

ugh.

Okay, I know that this is all going to work out, because it's a romance, and a Saxon James romance besides, but as the primary breadwinner in my family (we both work full-time, but I make almost 2x what Josh does), this book is stressing me out. I don't love my job, but there is no way I can get another one that would pay the same and no way we can move away from our families who need us as they age and...

This book is stressing me out.

I'm only on Chapter 3 where Luke just showed up.

I get it too. I make more than Jeremy and when Ella was small, we had the opportunity to move and I told him we can't move away from family. Its too important.

There has to be a balance and maybe I'm not one to judge, but two week on, two weeks off is very doable, even with two young kids.

OMG. daveys mom! I can't believe it.

chapter 6. OMG. mack has an epiphany. let's see how this goes.

Ch 8: camping....when its not their thing? This has disaster written all over it.

I agree! Josh and I decided to never split, knowing that meant he’d never make as much or go as far in his career as me, but that was how we choose to do things. I know a ton of people who’ve made other equally good choices.

Camping’s not as bad as it could be?

At one point we had to discuss my going back to school so i could make more money. He had to take more responsibility for the house and Ella when she was little and got a bunch of slack from some of his friends.

Now he calls me his "Sugar Momma" since I make more than he does.

Could have been much worse given the time of year.

Ch 11: Ugh. Sex before unresolved feelings. I see a major hurt coming for both of them.

They need to talk, but aren't.

Tonya is a smart woman. Right to the heart of the matter.

Definitely need to talk. They’re keeping both big and little secrets.

Gotta love Orson too. His idea is the best!

And i just want to say I don't think Luke is leaving those messages in the book. My gut, but I could be wrong.

I’m nearly done and I feel like these guys waited a long time to grow up. Like marriage, jobs, kids, without ever really learning to talk.

Same. I think that Davey’s doing that just like Mack is doing Legos and dinner.

OMG. Fake Dating.

I'm 50% complete and will finish it today. I forget how much I like this writing style and it always reads fast for me.

Even though my heart is breaking for these two. i know they will figure it out. It makes me want to see how.

Yes, exactly how I feel. Super fast and super satisfying.

I'm about 75% done. Just working with Davey's mom for the meal he likes.

Ok. That was super cute.

I liked that he thought about the offer instead of just taking it. I know the feeling of needing to work.

I'm wondering where Luke's story is....it's gotta be coming right?

Yes—I’m thinking it will be a spin-off, because this was the end.

I am about 20 pages from the end and am relieved it’s all working out. What a fun read!
