The Letters: A Carnage Novella by Lesley Jones






The Letters: A Carnage Novella Book Summary
It's just a box of letters, right?
Words that were written a long time ago.
From a boy to the girl that he missed. From a man to the woman he loved.
But what if those words carried more impact than anyone realised?
Will they finally give Georgia the closure she needs and lessen the guilt she battles every day?
Or will everything she thought she knew about the boy and man who wrote them and the life they shared be forever altered?
All will be revealed in The Letters.
A story about life, love, and acceptance.

I was nervous reading The Letters.  I thought, oh no, it's just going to be a bunch of letters but this novella was so much more than that!  This is the story of Georgia finally going through the box of letters and Maca's things.   Georgia seems to finally heal in this book and come to terms with the guilt and her feelings for Maca and the lost babies even though they are gone.   I also felt that I got to know more about Cameron King than I have in any of the other books.  I learned more about his first wife but would have liked to learn more about how he became a widow.  It may have been mentioned in an earlier book and I have forgotten.  That happens when you read a lot.  This also let me in on how Maca was feeling during the break up, after the lose of a baby, and his true thoughts and feeling about Cameron.  Lesley did a fantastic job of making this novella about Georgia, Cameron, and Maca.  It is told from different points of view and it is done wonderfully!  Although the ending was not one I saw coming!  Just when you think a series is done.....BAM.....or is it?

5 Stars!

Marley: A Carnage Novel

Want to know what really happened in that hotel room in Paris?
Want to know if the rumours of Marley, Sean and their sexploits were true?
We got to watch Georgia fall apart but what was Sean going through in those four years they were separated?
Marley will give you the answers but he might just break your heart along the way.
"‘So, they want me to write a book? They want to know about my band, my life, my loves and my losses. But they have no idea what they’re asking for. If I give them what they want, they’ll get so much more than the sex and drugs and the rock and roll they’re expecting. They’ll get the secrets that I’ve kept for so long, they’ll get an insight into the person I really am, or at least was. They think they know my story, they know nothing.
If I do this, if I write honestly and give them the ugly truth, people will get hurt. People that I love, people that have already suffered in the worst possible ways.
Do I do this, or do I walk away? Taking my secrets to the grave."
Marley is an adult contemporary romance. It contains content suitable only for grownups with an open mind. There are scenes of group sex which include m/f/m a little bit of f/m/m and even some f/f/f/m/m/f/f/f. There is drinking and drug taking involved. A lot of swearing, some Essex slang and some very high emotion. Please don’t complain after reading this book that you weren't warned.
And yes, of course you’ll need tissues.
