PLEASE, let there be a part three!!! What happens to the children as the grow up together in the 60's? How do they adjust to the relationship of three parents during the normalized 50's and 60's of two parent households.

I have thoroughly loved both books!!!! Listened to both of them in two days!!!!!!

BRAVO Joan Vassar

Lamont and Jack were two characters from Sweet Honesty that I didn’t know if I would like based on their behavior in the previous book. Lamont couldn’t own his truth and led Vickie on, and Jack wanted to force Alex into relationship that he didn’t want. When Lamont ended up at Jack’s house, it was the best decision ever. Watching the growth in both Lamont and Jack was beautiful. We got to find out their traumas and fears, which added a heart-aching perspective. The addition and evolution of their mutual friendship and love for Vickie and each other was a bird’s eye view into polyamory and how love works in human form when it is real, kind and patient. Another wonderful story and dynamic narration.

Love is patient

This story blends the love of 3 people who -- in a time where their love in its purest form, is unacceptable.

Yet, they dare to accept that love and it's given challenges ---together.

In this continued story... Lamont, Vickie, and Jack, all quickly learn that LOVE is accepting Love in a setting that may cross every boundary, and yet they All are willing to take that chance of LOVE for LOVE.

No spoilers... but this story picks up from Lamont's point of loving two people in different ways.
Vickie loves him and shows him that LOVE by accepting who HE is without judgment --ever!
Jack has been in a few relationships- but is seeking a real LOVE and he realizes that loving two may be easy to do.😉

Ms. Vassar's ART of storytelling shines through yet again. Her characters as usual play their part to the T-- and keep you wanting more... Like what is Felix story and when will his book come out?🤣🤣😎 (insider Fort group joke)

Both narrator's Sean and Teri make the Art flow in a refreshing way and the story never seems out of sink 👏👏👏
I enjoyed the blending of these characters and their story being brought to life.

Finding a LIFE!

The sequel picked up with the last book left off. It was an interesting storyline and to witness and experience. The characters progress felt good. The story to take place in the 1950s was well before it’s time. Good Read.

I have to give it to the author for giving us a very thoughtful and beautiful story of live and acceptance.

The voice performances were great. The pacing and story unfolding was spectacular.

👏👏👏 Bravo

Beautiful performance by both Sean Crisden & Trei Taylor as usual! They did a fabulous job of bringing Joan’s immaculately written story, rooted in vulnerability, authenticity, and acceptance in turbulent times, to life. Highly recommended! 💕

I read the book when it was first released and was instantly in love with the storyline. I don't wanna spoil it for others. But Ms. Joan did the damn thang with this series! And Trei and Sean put the icing on top making it absolutely lovely! Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Lovely!

Joan Vassar continues to bring us incredible stories of love, acceptance, and overcoming trauma and struggle through the lives of some of the most fascinating characters. The lives and loves of these characters are perfectly woven together that you'll find yourself heavily invested in their wins and losses. I hope we get another round in this series because it definitely gives. 🔥🔥♥️♥️
