Adding Lib
by Kathryn Elliott
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Proficient in the art of
denial, Mae brushes the shattering diagnosis aside and sets her sights on a
matchmaking crusade for her eldest son. After all, if her lucid days are
numbered, Mae’s going to make damned sure he makes it down the aisle while she
still recognizes the groom.
It’s going to take a
razor wit and an iron stomach to handle Mae's diagnosis. Thankfully, just like
her mother Libby has both.

My Review:
It's a reading fun and enjoyable which addressess, with humor and irony, the difficulties of everyday life.
Lib has an adorable husband who supports and advises her, has two mischievous kids as children, a part time job and a mother who considers her a child. Suddenly Mae, Lib's mother, begins to show the first symptoms of Alzheimer and her life will never be the same. Lib with her two brothers and their families seeking the best way to help her manage this new life.
The characters are likeable, funny and real, it is easy to empathize with their lives. Lib is a dynamic woman, full of resources that has succeeded in creating an almost perfect family: she has a great relationship with her husband and knows very well to deal with the crisis of her children. Mae also is an adorable character: she is a sweet woman but also very stubborn and determined, with a large defect, a strong preference for her son Sean.
It 's written really well, has fast and engaging pace, one page leads to another,
It's the first book of The McGinn Series and can not wait for the next one
It 's an amazing book, funny but also touching, must-read for those who love romance

EXCERPT:
Sean grabbed onto the back of her neck and deepened the kiss
before she could pull back. Her lips parted, and a moan from deep in her
dormant sex drive sent his mouth into frenzy. She found the bottom of his soft
cotton T-shirt and slipped her hands under the hem. Running her fingers over
his chest hair, his nipples snapped to attention, along with his common sense.
“Whoa,”—he reluctantly pulled an inch back—“I have to
breathe. Give me a second.” His panting was matched only by hers. His low growl
warned, “You’re opening an old door here, Duffy. Once it’s open, I’m coming in,
slamming it shut, and putting up the Do Not Disturb sign until neither one of
us can move. No one in, no one out. I’ve waited too long.”
She licked her plumped-with-kisses lips.
He groaned. “You play dirty,” he said. “I like it.”
The sound of a car in the driveway sent them scrambling to
their feet and to the truck ramp.
Caroline waved to Libby and Mae as they got out of the car.
“I feel like I just got caught making out on the front porch,” she said between
her smiling teeth.
“You’re lucky they came when they did,” he said. “If it were
up to me we’d be testing the springs on that old couch right now.”
Sean mirrored her clenched smile and waved to Mae and Libby
as he said, “Forget what I said in the office the other day. This is not over.
Not by a long shot. We’re just getting started.”
