My Thoughts....

Well, this was quite a erotica read as you would think just from the title.  I liked the question...'what's love got to do with it?' Well to me everything!  The reader is given a story of a older woman named Candice Billings who was divorced was over a group of 'incoming students [freshmen].' Due to her job being at the 'Trinity State's tour guide and senior adviser' and one of her freshmen students is none other than Justice Ingram...'504.'  Justice who was from New Orleans and that number  applied someway to that.  Anyway,
how will this young freshman become involved the older woman... Candice to where her 'thoughts were giving way to intimate encounters?'  Just who was this 'Juvie' and why was he so interested in this adviser who was older than he [by seven years]?  Well, for some reason we find this Juvie caught the interest of Candice and even knowing it was unethical to go out even for drinks which started it all...she did. Even her best friend Felice thought this was a good idea to do 'since she hadn't had a drink in seven years with a man.'  Now, as this story goes on why did Candice let herself be pulled into Justice knowing it was so wrong.  However, when a woman needs.. well I guess you can see the way the story is going.  My main thoughts while reading was: JUST WHY WAS JUSTICE  REALLY INTERESTED IN HER?  OK, keep reading to find out!

I did love how this author told her story and backing it up with some well meaning poems that explained its previous chapter.  These poems are some deep reads that reflected so well with the storyline.   As the story continues how far will this go on and what puts the icing on the cake was when Candice finds out a big secret that her best friend Felice puts on her. That was definitely a wow moment for me because I didn't see that come!  Now, I don't want to tell too much  more only wanting you to read this story and see for yourself just how well this author brings it all out to the reader.  How far will this 'Cougar's Passion' go on before Candice will have different thoughts on this situation.  I think Candice knew what she had to do at the end because it was only right even if it wasn't liked very well from Justice's viewpoint. Again, the poems at the end were really on point...'Nineteen Again and  Juvie.'  I will say that the story gives one quite a bit to ponder long after the read.  Truly a cougar's life may not be as easy as one would think after you ponder from it all it may involve.

"How We Love: Expanded Edition: Discover Your Love Style, Enhance Your Marriage"   By: Milan Yerkovich & Kay Yerkovich  

My Thoughts....

This was a beautiful knowledgeable read from these two authors!

What I received from this novel...

Wonderful inside information....that offered different exercises to help one with self awareness and growth goals... great in depth workbook

I loved their accurate description of  a secure connector:
the Avoider, the Pleaser, the Vacillator, the Controller and the Victim.

I found there was great presentation of case studies that were bought out so clearly.

While reading and working through  "How We Love" one can rekindled ones love and even learn respect for each other.

This novel is not only for couples!  I found this a wonderful read for working in one's  marriage and relationships. This is definitely a help in ones marriage and family. This read can not just "change ones marriage but also every relationship  that is important to ones life."

If you are in need of a 'Marriage Counselor' this read will be for you.

After reading "How We Love" the reader will see that its definite a literature that has been well descriptive written, with great research and resources.

The way these authors treatment of this subject along with 'Biblical truths and wisdom will bring a healing that can change ones life.'

I will say this is one of the best self help books that I have had the privilege of reading!

By the end of this read...the reader will get a easy, enjoyable, and well as a fantastic read that I would recommend to all young married couples as well as old.
