Not What I Expected by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
Are humans meant to mate for life?
After four kids and an unfortunate but fateful end to her twenty-two-year marriage, Elsie Smith meets the new guy in town.
Kael Hendricks is ... a little younger, a lot sexy, and too confident for his own good. He also doesn't believe in marriage and all that goes with it.
And ...
He's just opened a new business that threatens the livelihood of Elsie's family's store--just in time for the holidays.
The problem?
There's an undeniable attraction that leads to out of control situations, a loss of inhibitions, and a lot of small town gossip.
As Elsie tries to redefine herself and convince her family she isn't having a midlife crisis, she's forced to answer the biggest question of all ...
Can she love an enemy who will never surrender?

Mark. My Words..this book is like NOTHING you've ever read before.

it's a hilarious read no doubt, but the words have been so sympathetically handled, It's not laughing AT the anecdotes, it's like laughing WITH them.
If ever there was a title fitting the story..THIS WOULD BE IT!!
Revolutionary writing, full of minutely anguished details of married lives, there are millions of touch points for readers of every Age. Everyone will feel it's THEIR story, it's THEIR life, it's what THEY go through everyday.
I definitely felt so.
Meet Elsie Stapleton, a wife of numerous years, a mother to 4 kids and now she's had enough!!
"After twenty-two years, three months, and six days of marriage … I couldn’t do it anymore."

Her decision sets off the domino effect of events that turns her life, her family's life,the whole town upside down. She tries to find some sense, some absolution in her church meetings, but After long ten months of frying to wade through her guilty conscience and trying to find some answers to her dilemmas, her emotional dam just bursts and she blurts out...
"I love my husband, but......
The church attendees are flabbergasted...but in the stunned silence she finds kindred spirits, fellow marriage sufferers who join in quietly...US TOO!
And THAT forms the basis of this story. It's a search of a woman to find her identity in the tangled blob of marriage, motherhood and responsibilities. She's been buried in the debris for a long tine and her emancipation and discovery deserves her attention.

It sure does catch her Comeptitor- Kael Hendricks attention!!
A hot, charming, bearded younger guy rolls into town and sets camp. And Elsie and I drooled over him, but wait..we're supposed to hate him, but sigh!! He's delicious. And funny, and oh so swoon-worthyπ₯°
"That was Kael Hendricks.
Everything about him lingered.
His intoxicating scent.
His paralyzing touch.
The life in his eyes burning brightly."

Their intense rivalry soon crosses over in the passionate field and explosive is a mild word to describe what happens between them
Then comes guilt..lots and lots of it
How this story progresses and dilemmas get solved, is a delight to read.
This compelling and flawless story just captured my heart and imagination. I swooned, I regaled, I simply and irrevocably fell in love with Elsie,Kel and Jewel's writing yet again for a millionth time

Her keen understanding of excruciating life's curveballs and and grave consequences are eye-opening. Then she gift wraps them in her trademark humorous package and readers enjoy opening it one layer at a time.
Utterly consuming, entirely subsuming, it will soak your eyes and your senses in every way possible. I emerged as a better reader, a better woman at the end of it and you will too
Grab! Grab!! Grab!!! And come thank me laterπ
