Find For Life Drafted By L.E. Chamberlin Shown In Document

can't say enough good things about this book! Fans of L, E. Chamberlin know she writes some of the steamiest sex scenes around, but this gem proves she can tug at her reader's heartstrings just as craftily.
I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so much angst in something other than a teen movie and I love that this was told from the POV of an older woman rather than the usualsomething in popular romance novels.
I could relate to the problems of having moody teenagers and real world problems that come with beingorsomething, Fans of steamy romance won't want to miss out on this one! make up sex is nice and all but they were divorced foryears.
. . one would think theyd have a lot to talk about, . . plusyrs cmon would have thought theyd come together sooner, . chloes reaction to them back together contradicted her reaction to them being divorced, . . then the random coach sex scandal at end was sorta dumb, So while I mostly enjoyed the read all that made me give this story I honestly think one of the best “highs” is finishing an absolutely fabulous book.
A book you dont want to put down, tell everyone about, and ultimately makes you fall in love with reading again, Trust me, For Life is the sort of book that will have you falling in love with reading all over again, Its THAT book that will remind you that there are certain times in life where you do get that doover,

“Twenty years ago, I met a boy at a football game who changed my life forever, ”

For Life is all about second chances, Cassie and Grady met in high school and fell utterly in love from the getgo, They marry early and eventually have kids soon after, In those early years, Grady didnt put his best foot forward in their marriage which ultimately was the demise of their union, Many years later, when faced with a tragedy, they are both together after many years of barely any contact besides changing custody of their children for the weekend.
During this timeold feelings arise as well as resentments, Can Cassie and Grady put the past behind them and move forward

“I know what I signed, I know what we are, legally, But those divorce papers dont mean shit to me, Ive loved you since I was sixteen years old and I never love another woman but you as long as I live, ”

For Life was a glimpse into what I think can and may happen to many relationships, I can definitely see how their marriage ended up in divorce, You get the “feels” of what was happening and why Cassie felt the way she did all those years ago, Ms. Chamberlin wove the beginning of their relationship into the present which added so much more depth to the story and had you wanting a happy ending for Grady and Cassie.


“I never gave up home that somehow wed find our way back to each other, ”

This book was such a fresh breath of air as I have not found “that book” to totally fawn over in a long while.
I am an angstlover and this was a definite treat for me, I think the fact that the chapters were told in dual POV helped feed my addiction for this book, Can I also say that this book is hot as hll! The chemistry these two shared was offthechartshotyou made need a handheld fan!! Plus, the added dimension of having children and how they add into the equation is just another thing I loved about this one.
There arent enough books written about women in theirs and thats another thing that hit the spot,

I highly recommend this breathtaking book, I honestly did not want it to endhence the sneak reading at the most inappropriate times, I cant wait to dig into more of Ms, Chamberlins works. Okay, enough gushing on my partgo grab it! ,

I honestly didnt know how to start this review, I typed a line, I deleted, I typed another, I deleted Some scenes in this book just pop up in my head and thinking about them gets me teary eyed all over again

Its such a moving story about second chances sob

Grady and Cassie have a long history.
They met when they were kids, married young, had kids, couldnt sustain the marriage, divorced, andyears later so goes the story What happens after is the attempt to reconnect, the efforts it took to not look back, the ways to move forward with now more grown children to consider as well, and the acknowledgment of this beautiful thing they have between them, that passionate connection.


Cassie has a lot of emotional baggage from the beginning, whos just trying to be the best mom for their kids, I have to say she challenged me a bit but this is all personal take, I was imposing my own feels on her a few time, Some of her decisions frustrated me but like I said, thats just me being all mcjudgy, Luckily, she womaned up at the end, whew!

Grady I dont have enough words for Grady! He may have messed up the first time, but talk about redemption! I swear, you think of every adjective you can think of for your ideal man BBF book boyfriendg, hes got it, yes, I say he does!! hubby need not know hehe To Caseys credit, she helped further build that image of Grady just the way she saw him.
Seriously, I cannot be any more captivated by Grady!!! swoon

So you have welldeveloped characters from the Hamph to their children and the people who surround them, and a story full of emotions.
It mirrors real life so much that reading this honestly feels like being given an intimate view into a relationship of a dear friend, or ones own for that matter.
Married or not, I dont think anyone can argue the emotions this story will evoke sigh

Ive read L, E. s short stories before and she already impressed me with just few pages, I wondered then how much more she can do with a fulllength story, and now, I wonder no more, Well done, L. E. , well done! Cant wait for more!

ARC received and I also own a copy

BR with the sitelinkCanaries.
stars! This was a helluva emotional roller coaster ride, A steamy one!

I HAD to read this as soon as I read the teaser months ago



I loved both Grady and Cassie, their love story will pull at your heart.
High school sweethearts who get married young and well, . . suffice it to sayyears later, after a devastating divorce, with seperate lives and two teenagers, no one is more surprised than Cassie when she realizes she still had feelings for her ex.


Grady, though, isn't surprised at all, He's never stopped loving his wife, and never given up on getting her back, A family tragedy isn't the catalyst he wanted, but he won't let the chance slip through his fingers again,

This is a well written, engaging story and I enjoyed it, THe sex was plentiful and super hot, Two things kept me from giving it more, oneI like my stories with a bit more fire and action, this one was more languid.
Not a bad thing, just not as much my taste, so I ended up skimming here and there, And two, while I thought Cassie was partcularly well done, I loved that she wasn't perfect that she had anxiety, insecurity and control issues, all of which felt REAL, not 'bitchy' or overdone.
However, I thought Grady was a little too perfect, Don't get me wrong, he was hot, caring and sweet and I adored him, Maybe its just the cynic in me, but I don't believe in men that good,

I am very Intrigued by Renee's story which promises a bit more fire, I'll be snapping that one up as soon as it comes out,



This book is by far my favorite book I've read this year, . . well, in a very long time for that matter, I'm a sucker for second chance romances, I'm a sucker for older, real,

and characters I can relate to, And this book meshed two of my favorites into one story line that had me flipping pages quickly through some parts and rereading tearful parts several times over.


My heart bled for these characters, They both made mistakes. They let something beautiful and whole and pure turn into something ugly, And instead of fighting for it, they let it slip through their fingertips,

For eleven years, they fumbled through life without the other half of their soul, Then, one day, tragedy brings them back together, The pastthe ugly partsare hazy as the heated, beautiful parts become crystal clear, I devoured each page as their love was rekindled and repaired, Like grownups, they talked out their issues, sought counseling, and made family a priority,

"She was right in my hands, She was hot and willing and right there, I kissed her and touched her and smelled her and tasted her, and it was like coming home, "

Grady was the ultimate husband, He made mistakes but he atoned for them, And Cassie, she was bitter about the past, but found room in her heart to let Grady back in, Those two killed me . in a beautiful way. When I wasn't smiling and rooting for them, I was bawling my eyes out and praying they'd make it through the storm of life,

"Now what" I whisper,
"Now we cuddle," he whispers back,
"Then what"
"Then we figure it out, "

Seriously, this book gave me all the feels, If you're looking for a book to get lost in, to have hope in, and to laugh and cry for, then this book is for you.
I'll most certainly be ordering this one in paperback to grace the shelves with the rest of my alltime favorites, I'm looking forward to reading more by this talented author, .
