Whenever I get a book, I usually look up the author on a few sites and see what other's have said, so I can have an idea of what to expect. I found nothing but good things on C. J. English, the author of Affairy Tale.

​ So I checked out Youtube, where the book trailer was posted and loved it. Then I opened the book and found scripture from Leviticus 20. It gave me goosebumps- I don't know why! I guess the severity of the book's situation and the fact that this book is a memoir just blew me away! I was geared up for a good read. I was not disappointed.

C. J. is in search of an adventurous love. A love that keeps her panting at night and grinning like the Cheshire Cat during the day. She knows that's exactly what she'd have in Grant, but she marries Levi... because it's the right thing to do for her daughter's life and healthy upbringing.

Against everything in her being, she marries the father of her child. And regrets it. She dreams of the man she wants but subsists with debilitating regret with the one who was the prudent...

*Book given by author for an honest review. ( )

This is the best book I have read in a long time.

I can't fathom the courage it took to write and publish a novel admitting to one's transgressions and take ownership to them. The author's honesty and ability to take her emotions and turn them into a literary masterpiece has made her my new hero.

C.J. and Levi's relationship is not a happy one. C.J. doesn't realize the extent of her unhappiness until she meets Grant and instantly finds herself attracted to him. She knows the smart thing to do is to stay away from him but continually finds reasons to be near him. They share a lot of the same interests and hobbies making easy to enjoy each other. When they are apart C.J. finds herself thinking about him constantly.

This is a true story of a woman's journey down path towards love and happiness. Should she do the 'right' thing and fight for her marriage to Levi who drives her absolutely insane? Should she take a chance on a man she has the time of her life with but has a reputation of being a man that 'will never settle'? She feels her parents, brother, friends, daughter, and especially husband would never understand or forgive her if she broke up her marriage.

I recommend this book to everyone. It is geared towards adults but I WOULD NOT rate it XXX. So many books now are just a reason to read about sex. This one is not. I love how the author was able to describe intense feelings of love and lust with making it penthouse forum with a pretty cover.

I am pretty sure I am correct when I say that not only has this author had the courage to pour her heart out and publish it, she also put her face on the cover.

I read this book in one sitting, at the beach, unable to put it down. I was so into the book that I forgot about sunscreen and now have a horrible sunburn. ( )
