Excerpt

But when I close my eyes, I can see him—and me. I can see me pressed up against the mirror in the bathroom, my hands making starfish prints as I brace myself against his thrusts. I can hear his harsh breathing, his commands to come, come now, Charlotte. There was that passage of time that felt endless when he was between my legs, licking me softly and leisurely as if there wasn’t anything in this world that gave him more pleasure than helping me find my own. I touch myself, but it’s useless. My body wants one thing: Nathan Jackson.

I’m on fire and the ache of want is so acute it’s like a knife in my chest. I’ve had multiple surgeries, chemo treatments, radiation but that’s nothing compared to what I feel now.

Time and distance had dulled my pain and that my desire and love for Nathan had actually started to ease only to be stoked into high, hot flames by his reappearance in my life.

He is the poison and the antidote.

Michel’s Review

I was really excited for The Charlotte Chronicles to release.  I have been a huge fan of the Woodland Series by Jen Frederick.  The Charlotte Chronicles features the children from the characters in The Woodland series.

It is very hard for an author to go beyond a series that has characters that captured the readers hearts.  Somehow readers seem to shy away from “the happily ever afters” to the real lives.  The Charlotte Chronicles proves that the Woodland characters kept their happily ever after and matured into an unbreakable relationship.  They built a strong family unit and strengthened life time friendships. They can be very proud parents because their children are the best of them plus have their own unique identities. Now it is time for these children to shine!

Charlotte, Nathan , and Nick have grown up together.  They know everything about one another.  As they begin to mature and start making their own lives in high school feelings begin to change.  For Charlotte and Nick it is a deeper bond of friendship.  For Charlotte and Nathan it is the blossoming of love.  Just as they are discovering their love for one another and trying to figure out how to make their new found relationship work, life intercedes and throws them into a devastating tail spin.  This time it isn’t something that their parents can fix, it isn’t something they can control, and it is something that will separate them permanently.

Nine long years of separation can change people, especially teenagers maturing into adulthood.  Charlotte and Nathan have both grown as individuals and started their adult lives.  They both have established careers that are on opposite sides of the spectrum in the professional fields.  The lives are on very different paths.  The one thing that has always stayed the same is their love for one another.  Even though their lives have changed, they no longer are in contact, and it seems as if they have moved on, the hearts still belong to one another.

This book is an emotional journey in so many ways.  The reader gets to experience Nathan and Charlottes lives from the beginning.  They get to experience the growing pains, the highs and lows in life, the insecurities that go along with maturing, the wonders of first love, the heartbreak of losing love, the fear of dying, the joy of finding the once in a lifetime love, and finding the courage to make the ultimate commitments in life.  They were lucky to find one another again after all the heartbreak and devastation.

Nathan and Charlotte did not have an easy road to travel.  They were lucky they had wonderful families and friends to support their journey.

Nathan and Charlotte earned every tear, every smile, and every sigh.  They captured my heart.

I hope that Nick Jackson will find his road to follow.  I can’t wait for his book!
