Running on Empty Mending Hearts Book 1 edition by LB Simmons Literature Fiction eBooks

This book, where to start? It was amazing! I really enjoyed this book, but felt it ended too quickly. I do see that there is a novella, so hopefully I get more of this story!

Alex is broken, still grieving over her husband's death 3 years ago, taking care of her children, going to work, and basically going through the emotions, but no longer living. One day fate intervenes and puts her back in the path of her child hood best friend Blake, and for some reason this pisses her off. It's actually quite hilarious how much it pisses her off, and how angry she becomes each time she sees him, so much so you know something is going to happen.

Alex has survived the past three years because of her best friend Harlow, her in laws, and her daughters, but something about having Blake back in her life starts a spark of life in her no one has seen since Derek (her husband) died. Harlow, her children, her mother in law, everyone seems to be pushing her to try to live again, and believe Blake is the one for her to try to live again with.

Blake and Alex decide to be friends, and they fall into the easy friendship they had growing up, her children adore him, and Alex starts to feel something she never thought she'd feel again. Then BAM s*** hits the fan!

This story was amazingly written, the heartbreak you feel for Alex, and the hope that maybe she can move on are so powerful you just become immersed in the story and don't want to let go. You yell, you cry, you scream, you laugh, everything is brought on emotionally in this book. Alex's children and Harlow are definitely some of the best secondary characters I've read in a long time. L.B. Simmons's writing is powerful and will have you loving, hating, crying, laughing and feeling content with the book is over.

This was the first book of L.B. Simmon's that I've read and I definitely will be reading more of hers in the future. Her writing is amazing, and the characters are brought to life on the pages (or screen in my case) and you feel as if you are part of the story. I really enjoyed Running on Empty and can't wait to see what else is in store for the Mending Hearts series.

Running on Empty Mending Hearts Book 1 edition by LB Simmons Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Running on Empty begins when Alex is on her way to work and runs out of gas. She had a tough morning with her three little girls, and remembering her dead husband. Now, her day seems to get worse especially when her oldest friend who she hasn't seen in almost twenty years shows up to help her. It seems Alex can't help herself, and lets all her anger and frustration out on him... But then Alex seems to remember what it use to be like between her and Blake, and all of the mistakes she made in the past, and has made now. So, these two start to form a friendship again, but sometimes things aren't as easy as they seem.

Alex has problems with people helping her, and with getting over her dead husband. And Blake has always been there for Alex no matter what, but sometimes enough is enough...
These two have a whole lot of issues to work out before they can continue to be friends, or even hope for more.

When I started reading this book I thought it was actually pretty interesting. Then I learned pretty fast the the heroine was a major bit*ch. I seriously could not stand her at all. Even when I should have felt bad for her, I didn't. She had no sympathy from me. I hated the way she acted, and the way she treated others. I also didn't really care for her friend Harlow either. The only person I liked in the book were the little girls and Blake.

Other then that though, I did like the plot line for the most part. I think it could have been better if the heroine was a nicer person.

I loved this book.

This author did a really great job of putting the characters in interesting situations and she gave them great dialogue. I love reading books that have a little bit of silly wit and good bantering between characters, and this one did not disappoint. I also loved how the author took three girls and gave them all distinguishable personalities.

I also thought that the author built a great friendship between the main character, Alex, and her best friend, Harlow. The author makes it clear that they have a friendship that runs deep and that is important to both women. There are also times in the book when the two friends disagree and do not get along, which rings true for any friendship.

The one thing I didn't like about the book was the abruptness of Alex's relationship with Blake. The part that the reader gets to experience is developed at a great pace, but the reader finds out in the book that Blake and Alex have been friends since junior high. This felt lazy, especially coming from an author who has such a skill at illustrating and developing relationships. Blake could have been a new guy to enter the picture and this author could have made the whole thing believable. It was a time when I think I rated the author's skills higher than she rated her own.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think the characters are excellent, the book moves at a great pace, and it kept me reading, despite being one of the longer books I've read. I didn't ever feel like the author was padding the story to make it longer, which I appreciated. This was just a good, fun read.
