As If You Never Left Me by Elizabeth Jewell has one of the best covers I have ever seen on a EC novel.

Lucky Elizabeth Jewell

The story is a break up and make up tale. We start 14 months after Joely Birch walked out on her hubby Rey. She threw divorce papers at him and walked.

Maybe it comes from being divorced but I am a hard sell on kissing and making up after you have hit a certain point. And 14 months is a long time. But honestly I went with it and enjoyed the story and the writing until the second separation.

It wasn’t long, a few weeks or so but really it was stupid. To have up and walked out 14 months before without really TALKING and to understand that was a fuckup and then poof do it again with in days of figuring out what you gave up… is stupid.

The end felt forced. Like a hmmm we need one more conflict to throw at them so they can live HEA and all it did was make me wonder if they would really get their HEA when the book closed.

And I never wonder about that! I am really good about taking the author at her word that they all lived happily ever after!

I will try Elizabeth Jewell again. She seems to have some interesting books out. And well is a pretty tame EC author, so if you are looking for an author just a lil spicier than normal, she is prolly your girl.
