5 Smooches!
Synopsis
When your world, your life and all of your hopes and dreams for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you go on?
Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it’s also the most painful kind of life and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to live it.
I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just let the darkness take me?
I’m Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me.
I’m no longer a part of an us, it’s just me.
Alone.
By myself.
Review
Wow! So, this is the second book in a 2 part series. I pretty much spent the whole first novel like this:
That book simply chewed me up and spit me out, but I really am a glutton for punishment because I love a book that makes me feel. I probably spent more time ugly crying than I did smiling but sometimes life calls for the occasions to give a good cry and a heartfelt sob at a fictional character’s expense. My life calls for them often!
So, what did I do when Carnage #2 came out? I dug deep, found my inner ugly crier, and dove right in. I didn’t think I would love it more than the first book, but man was I wrong. The book simply had it all. Amazing writing, beautiful editing, steamy sex scenes, happy tears, and sad tears make up Carnage #2. My inner ugly crier made an appearance only 2 pages in and pretty much stayed with me the entire book, but this time I got something that I didn’t in the first novel. I will not tell you what, but trust me, you want it.
“I had put her back together once, and I’d do it again when the time was right. When she finally realized she needed me, I would be there and I’d put her back together again.”

Georgia is back and she is in fighting form. She is still down but she is not out and this really is HER story. Knowing what Georgia has been through, I found myself really wanting her happily-ever-after this book, but as anything with Georgia, it doesn’t come easy. You know that anything she does has to be the hard way while listening to absolutely no one!
“It’s not gonna be easy.”
“Nothing worth fighting for ever is.”
The trials and tribulations that she faces again this book would probably make me feel really, really bad if I didn’t enjoy reading about it so much. God, I love the drama and Lesley brings that in spades. Tearful gut-wrenching drama seems to be her speciality and she serves it up quite nicely.
“Once again, I’m faced with a scene of complete an utter carnage. How ironic that that word has come to mean something so much more to me than the name of my husband’s band during my life.”
Anyways, pull up your big girl panties and read these books if you haven’t. Go on, I dare you!
“We’ll get our happy ever after. I promise you that.”
