Review
Marin, Marin oh Marin!!!
What are you thinking? Oh yeah. All men are cheaters and you are out to prove just that.
After she catches her fiance in bed with another woman, Marin takes it upon herself to prove to the world that all men are liars and cheaters. Love is a one way street and dammit she will show us. How? well she needs a fake boyfriend yup. A victim is needed and she finds one or two.
This romance novel is honestly one that I have truly enjoyed. Love finds us when we aren't looking for it. We are so caught up in our own world that we miss the signs. Marin is stereotyping all men and when she starts to see that maybe her theory may be wrong you feel for her.
The characters in this book are very likable. The reader will find a connection with all of them. The story flows easily and what I loved about this book is that the characters are highly educated and yet are so normal. Even professionals have love issues. We are all in search of our HEA.
Love Amanda Aksel and her writing style. Can't wait to see what else she brings us.
About Amanda Aksel
AMANDA (ah-MAHN-dah)- Latin- Meaning lovable or worthy of love.
Fitting. I've always had an affinity for love.
Being born in sunny San Diego in the mid 80’s to a young military couple gave me plenty of insight into the dynamics of a romantic relationship. Somewhere between moving coasts every three years, I found myself engrossed in fairytale romances and dressing up like a bride.
My first real love was writing. By my sophomore year in a new high school in Virginia, I had a slew of short stories, songs, poems, and articles to my name. Writing was fun. It was a way to get the emotions, dialogue, and pictures out of my head, and create a destiny for my characters.
I had no intention of making a career in writing, because it wasn’t what I did, it was who I was. In reality, I wanted to be an actress. Ah, to be the face of someone else’s authored story. The plan was to move in with my aunt in L.A. after graduation, but had a change of heart. Instead, I stayed with my high school sweetheart (now husband) and attended a film school in Norfolk, VA. It was at this school that I discovered my love for writing screenplays and felt compelled to follow that path. But…as the practical girl I was brought up to be, I decided to go to a real university. While working full time, I completed my BA in Psychology in four and a half years. Becoming a couple’s therapist had always been my “backup” career and there I was on my way to solving love's most complicated quandaries one couple at a time.
With all my new free time after graduation, I decided to turn my full-length screenplay into a novel in hopes it would help my screenplay sell. I think I was in the middle of writing chapter two when I realized that everything I had ever written was to prepare me for that moment when I knew I was a novelist. Talk about the affirmation of my life. Now my plan is to solve love's most complicated quandaries one novel at a time.
