What Choice Does Fate Bring?



Thank you to Tandem Literary and St. Martin’sPress for my copy of Tempting Fate by Jane Green.   I am excited to share her new release with you.   Jane asks the question how forgiving would you be in certain circumstances?

Synopsis:

Gabby has the perfect family she absolutely loves her husband Elliot and her two daughters Olivia and Alana.  One night while her family is out Gabby decides to go out with her married friends.  They think what harm could happen when going to a bar and flirting with some guys there.  They would never take it any further or would they?  Or more specifically would Gabby?  She meets Matt that night and they start a friendship.  Gabby tells herself that it won’t go any further than friendship.  Will she change her mind?  What consequences occur from that one choice?  Will they be able to forgive?

My Thoughts:

Tempting Fate is a very entertaining and emotionally charged read!  This novel is full of conflict and asks the question can you forgive? Others? Yourself?  I really felt for all the characters as they dealt with the main conflict within the novel.  I could argue both sides of the issue for each character.  For me I think it would come down to who has the right to judge the one who hurts you?

The novel is beautifully written and very descriptive.   The novel is emotionally driven and powerfully written.  I had the audio version of this book and it was a little adjustment for me to the narrator which is Jane Green.

Overall one that you will not be able to put down.    

Rating:

4.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
