Accidentally came across this book. I just wanted to kill time, but in the end I got a storm of emotions and impressions. I did not expect such interest from myself.
I think it’s not worth talking about how subtly the moments of spiritual and physical closeness are spelled out here, this is already so obvious.
I would like to talk about each character separately
LEXI
It is very contradictory, according to the general impression, there is more “bad” in it than “good”. But despite this, I want to get to know her more and more. Sometimes it causes pity, sometimes anger, and at some moments you see your reflection in it. A very detailed and versatile character. Basically, interest in the work is fueled by its intrapersonal conflicts. And her alluring charm? You see what kind of men she attracts to her. Problems with drugs slightly spoiled her image, but, on the other hand, what strength of personality must be in order to refuse them! How to describe Alexis Rendall in one word? This is definitely EXCITING!
TYLER
As for our "bad boy", I didn't see any negative traits in him. Although there was an attempt to hook them: the moment in the hotel before the wedding, when he got drunk and hit on Lexie. But in general, a very positive character, a little lack of realism. One thought did not leave me throughout the reading: how did Tyler Stone manage to gain so much sexual experience by the age of 18. I always had the feeling that the guys are 25 at least. As a rule, such a developed sensuality and level of awareness in sex are not characteristic of adolescents. Perhaps this is one of the few things that made me doubt the realism of the work, although it added hot peppercorns to it.
NORA
The voice of wisdom in the book. If not for this ardent girl, how many more mistakes this couple would have made. Nora is the person whose development path seemed to me the most interesting. Being a very frivolous person in her youth, eager to get all the pleasure from life, which is possible, she goes through a difficult path of becoming. The point of no return for her is an unexpected pregnancy, after which her life changes dramatically. From an immature girl, she turns into a wise woman. Which we observe for most of the book. For me, Nora has become one of the most complete characters in the novel.
MEG
In general, the heroine is also too positive. But unlike Tyler, she did not particularly need negative qualities. Otherwise, she would have lost against his background. The reader should understand his dilemma about choosing between two girls who love him. If Meg had as many contradictory qualities as Lexie, she would clearly have succumbed to her. The cancer that overtook her in the final chapters of the book became a cruel joke of fate. She was so eager to help those in need, but in the end she herself found herself in a hopeless situation. During this period of their life with Tyler, I wanted to know what was going on between them. Too many questions remain: did she find out about the betrayal, about Tyler's endless love for Lexi, why did she ask to marry her? In a word, I was a little lacking in details.
JARED
His character didn't seem very believable to me. But there was no more desire to know him. The main contradiction: politicians, in my opinion, do not treat their reputation so connivingly. Maybe, of course, he competently manipulates Lexi's feelings when he says that her past does not matter to him, but only she matters. But a New York City senator from a wealthy family cannot beso careless. There must be a file on Alexis Rendall in his desk. If not from the moment they met, then before he decided on the proposal for sure. And, judging by his surprise at the moment of Alex's revelation, he knew absolutely nothing about her past.
And finally, DANIEL- The embodiment of vice, from him throws you into the cold, then into the heat. Lexi herself demonstrates this more than once. Apparently, the author had a plan to present him as a snake-tempter. And at some point it succeeded, but! After Lexie's tantrum when she tries to sleep with Daniel, but he acts like a pure gentleman, the image is destroyed. I look at his character as a frank, passionate and purposeful man. And it becomes incomprehensible to me how he could offer drugs to Lexi ... I see Lexi's sincere love and inspiration in his actions. I can't wrap my head around how he could do this to her. Therefore, if he had reasons for such behavior, they remained incomprehensible to me. If the emphasis was placed on the fact that the relationship of the main characters was destroyed with the participation of Daniel, then I expected that this character would be revealed in more detail.
Therefore, my thanks to the author for the quality work, I enjoyed your book!
Warning for fans of the genre and neutral curious: The text contains scenes of an erotic nature. Claims for moral damage are not accepted.
annotation: Love is a game of chance, and the winner in it goes to the careless, not the prudent. But, if you are not ready to take big risks, this game is not for you.

When Ash Carpenter imagines a schoolgirl, the image in his mind is not true. She wears a long, old-fashioned skirt that hides her dainty legs. Her oversized sweaters hide her curvaceous curves and her hair is always tied in a bun. Her tennis shoes or combat boots are very worn. She wears thick warm pantyhose. Her dark-rimmed glasses obscure part of her face...but not all of it. Because he saw those light blue eyes, and they pierced him to the marrow of his bones. She walked past his office every day, and finally he had enough information to get a girl in his bed. Ash decides he's tired of waiting and it's time to take back what should only be his. She will be with him because she has no other choice. She will pay off her father's debt in whatever way Ash sees fit. Author's warning: Dear ones! This story is pretty messy.

This is a short story, but it's just the right length if you know what I mean. So let's read...

Contemporary romance novels
Romantic books about love are one of the favorite genres for women. Despite the fact that romance novels are criticized for their primitiveness and negative influence, books are swept from the shelves of bookstores. Who reads love fiction and why?
Modern romance novels tend to be short in length. It takes several hours to read one novel. Sequel books are especially popular these days. After reading one book quickly, the readers, in anticipation of the continuation of the love story, buy the next book in the series.
Accessibility, escape from reality, entertainment - these qualities appealed to both young readers and mature ladies. We have answered the first part of the question. But why do people continue to read modern romance novels?
First of all, because many women have unfulfilled dreams of love. In books, they experience feelings and emotions that are not always the case in real life.
The female body especially feels the need to read about love when everything is standard in the family: laundry, cleaning, the legal husband does not pay any attention to her.
Modern romance novels are able to replace gray dull everyday life for women with a beautiful, albeit fabulous world, where they are the most beautiful, desired and loved!
History of romance novels
The prototype of modern love stories can be considered chivalric novels, where the image of the Beautiful Lady was widely cultivated. Renaissance writers sang of love, but preference was given not to feelings, but to honor and duty. Their novels ended mostly not in favor of lovers.
Lope de Vega (The Dog in the Manger) and Tirso de Molina (The Pious Martha) should be given their due, where they made the readers happy with the family union of the main characters. In the 17th century pastoral novels were read in secular salons.
The action in such books took place in some fictional countries, and the heroes were idealized shepherds and modest shepherds. They flirted with each other, allowing frivolity, which is why society ladies fainted when reading.
The founder of the first romance novels can be considered Samuel Richardson. His books: "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded", "Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady", as they would say now, have become mega-popular.
His heroines were young beauties, whose beauty was coveted by not quite young experienced men. Because of their obscene attention, an avalanche of disaster and suffering fell upon the girls. Their resilience and chastity were rewarded with a happy ending.
The female audience was waiting for the continuation of love stories. On his own head, Richardson wrote the novel Clarissa, where an innocent girl was kidnapped and dishonored by Robert Lovelace. The girl died. The public demanded that the book be rewritten. Everyone wanted a beautiful love story, not death!.
In the next book, Richardson again brought out his hero Robert Lovelace. To please the public, he "kills" the hero in a duel. The name of this dissolute hero has become a household name. Since then, romance novels end only with a happy ending.
Jane Austen also read the novels of Samuel Richardson. In her books, she added a parody of sentimental prose, the sanity of the main characters and the catchy characters.
It is worth paying tribute to this writer in that she did not idealize the main characters, but showed how decent people with their own advantages and disadvantages . In our library, read popular modern novels online:
