♥BUY YOUR COPY OF MAYBE MABY♥

Amazon 

Mabel Armstrong is on the verge of giving up. But just when things feel bleakest, there seems to be a shift in the universe. People come out of the woodwork. Her ex won’t leave her alone. An old friend finally tries to become more. Even the cute guy at the coffee shop starts paying extra attention.
Maybe Maby is a heartbreaking, and at times, hilarious story about coping with loss, finding love in New York, and learning to recognize hope in the middle of it all.

I take off running with him not far behind. When we reach the stairs, he swoops me up, takes the stairs two at a time, and tosses me on the bed. He stares down at me.
“Now what?” he asks.
“Let’s not sleep with our clothes on tonight.”
His shirt is over his head with one yank from the back. I lean up on my elbows to watch.
“Your turn,” he says.
“Your pants are still on.”
He unbuttons them slowly and takes his sweet time pulling them down. His thumb loops under the waistband of his boxer briefs and my mouth waters waiting for him to take them off. He says something, but I don’t hear any of it.
“What?” I ask.
“I said—are you sure?” He puts his hand over his mouth and looks at me, his eyes narrowing. After a long pause, he says, without conceit: “When we make love, it’s gonna change things. I want to know if you’re ready for that before we do.”
I move until I’m on my knees in front of him. “Things have already changed for me. I’m ready … if you are.”
He grins and pulls my dress over my head. “Haven’t you been hearing me? I’ve been ready for you for a long time, Maby Armstrong.”
His hands travel down my chest and he unhooks my bra, sucking in a breath when it falls to the ground. He smiles at my yellow thong with black skulls.
“You’re so edgy,” he smirks, getting on his knees while he pulls them off. He looks up at me. “I plan to spend a lot of time in this general vicinity.” He waves his hand over the area from my lips to my thighs. “And especially here,” he whispers, pulling me into his mouth.
I hold onto his hair for dear life. I nearly fall back on the bed, but his hands are gripped on both cheeks, keeping my buns of nothing close to steel in place.

 

Robin’s Review

Willow Aster seems to have a great vision for creating diverse and interesting characters and giving life to them on the pages of her novels. Her plot ideas are refreshing. In my opinion, her novels stand out among others in the romance fiction industry. The most recently completed novel written by Willow Aster is titled Maybe Maby. Write down this name. Read the synopsis and reviews. Add it to your “to read” list on Goodreads. I have a feeling readers are going to love it!

Twenty-eight year-old Mabel Anderson has a condition known as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. She experiences urges to wash her hands with soap and water. She has panic attacks. Organizing and counting help Maby get relief from stress and anxiety. On top of her condition, Maby has had a string of bad luck over the past year. She feels abandoned. She lost her boyfriend, her mother died, and she has no friends. She hates her job at the gift boutique, works long hours and still has no money. She even had a 5 to 7 day stint in a psyche ward. Times have been tough.

The only way I can describe Maby’s life is to compare it to a Seinfeld episode. When it rains, it pours. But when it’s good, it’s really good. All of the sudden, Maby has three men demanding her attention!

Dalton is her ex-boyfriend. She used to love him, but he abandoned Maby for Courtney about a year ago. She has a chance encounter with Dalton, which prompts him to begin texting her.

Saul was a friend to both Dalton and Maby. Saul and Maby crossed the line while she was dating Dalton, so Saul withdrew from her because he wanted to do what was right. Maby has not seen Saul for at least a year when he drops out of the ceiling of the gift boutique where she works! This prompts Saul to begin asking Maby out to dinner.

Coen is the cute barista who works at La Colombe coffee shop. Coen has been flirting with Maby, and he even winked at her while he was writing her name on her coffee cup! Maby wonders what she is doing to garner all of this attention!

Willow Aster is funny! You may not realize this from reading True Love Story or In the Fields, but her sense of humor comes pouring out on the pages Maybe Maby. Although persons with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder suffer from a range of symptoms that may hinder their lifestyle, social life and career, she has chosen to write a light-hearted and humorous story about a quirky young woman and the three men who vie for her attention. She seems to have an excellent understanding of the ins and outs of OCD – the emotions, fears and peculiarities that plague individuals with this condition – and shares this knowledge in her writing. It definitely gives a more realistic feel to the story. It was such a pleasure to read Maybe Maby. It has some dark moments, but this story left me smiling and looking forward to the next novel from Willow Aster. 5 well-deserved stars for Maybe Maby!
