Review of My Mr Manny by Jennifer Garcia

I was given a advance reading copy for an honest review. It's what I think of the novel.
My Mr Manny is a story of a struggling girl Mia Balducci, who from childhood never found the happiness and the family she seeks,than one day she meets a guy namely Alex from her childhood and they fell in love and get married and have a girl Lucia and from this point the novel fast forwards and now Lucia is big but her parents get separated. In the beginning Mia tries to raise her on her own but she soons realized that she won't be able to match her schedule with the getting day by day busy schedule of Lucia and than arrives the Manny, the prefect man and than the story is about how they find love and how Lucia finds a father.
First I appreciates the author for her work and and for choosing a topic to write a novel,which others these days doesn't choose. Today market is flooded with young-adult novels so I appreciates it. The story was good and upto point and I especially liked the character of Mia, a woman who was willing to raise her child on her own and Dominic is a perfect man who never shown any bad signs. But I found few faults like Mia started becoming a dependent woman and that Dominic is a perfect man except one fault, I think there should have been more characterization on the Dominic's side and a little experiment with Mia becoming dependent is out of league. There are other characters too but they all have minor roles and I found them enough worked on. I never get bored while reading it and never thought of putting it away it kept me engage with itself throughout the whole book.
So if I gave my final verdict to the story it will be I enjoyed it and it have some good moment of it and it was a new experience after so much of a flood of young-adult lately so I'll be giving it four and half stars out of five.

My opinion on Forever too far by Abbi Glines

ASIN: B00DAHSFYI
series: Too Far #3
characters: Rush Finlay, Blaire Wynn
setting: Rosemary Beach, Florida (United States)
Beverly Hills, California (United States)
Key West, Florida (United States)

Synopsis :

Rush promised her forever... but promises
can be broken.
Torn between his love for his family and
his love for Blaire, Rush has to find a way
to save one without losing the other. In the
end one has to be more important. Letting
go isn’t easy.
Blaire believed in her fairytale... but no one
can live in a fantasy.
Her love for Rush and desire to have a
family keep her believing that they can find
a way for this to work. Until she has to
make the right decision for her and the
baby. Even if it breaks her heart.

What I think of the book :

The book started pretty well and rush now had started taking responsibilities of her. The writing was simple with some hot and erotic scenarios..
I liked the book but it wasn't upto the par which I knows other books by Abbi are but it get me hooked up. I'll say that I loved the book but I still prefers the first one which remains my favourite in all the three books. Although it have some points and like previous books it gets me emotional at some points when I feels really sorry for Blaire.

Now to characterization. The books take place in key west,los Angeles and the rosemary beach and we saw few new characters which were mentioned throughout the series but weren't materialized. The biggest surprise was captain.
Nan is still an attention seeking brat and I can't understand why author is letting her to live. Characters like her should be let alone die. Rush is seriously over protective,over possessive guy and I never liked him instead I prefers grant and woods they both are my favourite male in the series I hoped that Rush dies because he seriously annoys the sh*t outta me but the biggest surprise was Harlow a pearl in the dirt.....yes you heard me right !!!!!! She is totally a type of girl which I wanted in the series the girl I missed in last two books so hats off to Abbi to bring a character which I wanted. She is shown as a shy girl,who is happy with her own world and is busy in her novels and who isn't a sex freak like the other members of the family. Although she is only a minor character and I hopes Abbi will do some spin off and Harlow will be the heroine.

Final verdict:
I wanted to give 3 stars but I'll settle myself with 4 stars out of five,one extra for Harlow...
