Blog Tour: Molly McAdams “Sharing You” Review & Giveaway

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Twenty-three year old, Kamryn Cunningham has left all she’s ever known and moved to a small town where no one knows her name, who her parents are, or her social status in the horseracing world. Months after opening her own bakery and evading attempts of being set up by her new best friend, she meets Brody. Kamryn fights the instant pull between them because there’s a detail she can’t dismiss. Brody’s married.
To say that twenty-six year old, Brody Saco has had a rough marriage would be an understatement. After marrying his pregnant girlfriend, he spends the next six years in a relationship filled with hatred, manipulation and guilt involving a tragedy that happened five years earlier. When he keeps running into his sister-in-law’s best friend, Kamryn, he can’t ignore that she makes him feel more with just one look than his wife ever has; and soon he can’t continue fight his feelings for her.
When staying apart proves to be too difficult, Brody and Kamryn enter a relationship full of stolen moments and nights that end too soon while they wait for Brody to file for divorce. But the guilt that comes with their relationship may prove to be too much for Kamryn, and Brody might not be strong enough to face the tragedy from his past in order to leave his conniving wife.
 
Star-crossed lovers, Love triangle, conniving wife and infidelity.  Well, that makes it sound really bad! LOL  Rest assured that if anyone can pull these topics off without you totally losing your mind, it is Molly McAdams. This book can be read as a stand-alone and does not have a cliffhanger.
I went into this one blind without reading the blurb …. just signed up to review. I really enjoyed this quick read. It was not super heavy, I liked the characters (most of them… the ones i was supposed to) and liked the story. Afterwards I read the blurb to get a feel for what others may think. I know there are those who cannot stomach cheating in a book, but with reading this one, I could not see it as really cheating…. At least not in a normal circumstance.
Even though it drives me mad and I can’t deal with the angst – it is my guilty pleasure and I just can’t help myself to read them and get totally wrapped up in the drama they cause.  Cheating… another one of those no no topics, BUT, AGAIN, Molly made it work. Once you read and are in the middle of everything that brings them to that point, I don’t think you will be minding that much anymore.
As many that have read a Molly McAdams book already, they are probably worried about their hearts being RIPPED out of their chests and take stock out on tissues since you expect the whole ugly cry, but this is not one of those books.
While I did read the Sharing You Prequel “Sharing Firsts” that was in the Fifty First Times sequel – and you get to meet the majority of the characters in this series briefly, I did not read Capturing Peace yet, as I did not realize that it was a prequel novella to Sharing You, however I understand that we met the male main character Brody  in that Novella – as he was one of the characters in the story, but it is not necessary to read Capturing Peace or Sharing First before reading Sharing You.  I was not lost at all – so I think you can start with either book first.
I really enjoyed this book even though it did have cheating, I totally did not feel bad about it – and I don’t think you would either!  There is so much more to the story than cheating, so don’t worry.  The chemistry and connection between Brody and KC and you will want them together too.
This is a well-written book and you will sympathize with the characters and will be hoping that everyone gets their happily ever after – well except one particular woman…..
I can’t wait to read more about these characters, now I have to go back and read Capturing Peace! So, if you love a good angsty book with a love triangle, this book is for you and you should definitely pick it up!
 
me.jpgMolly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
