Title: The Hearts and Lives of Men

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Fay Weldon

Narrator: Michelle Ford

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

"Love at first sight - that old thing! Helen and Clifford looked at one another...something quivered in the air between them and, for good or bad, Nell began."

The witty, mischievous and supremely artful Fay Weldon announces on the first page of The Hearts and Lives of Men that she has written a love story and give away its ending - happy. It is a love story, though, with all the obstacles, both devilish and divine - a tale of innocence corrupted and selfishness reformed.

Helen Lally is 22, the stunning daughter of an impoverished artist whose fame and fortune will soon be made. Woe to her for catching the eye of Clifford Wexford, a 35-year-old art dealer, rapaciously ambitious, eminently eligible and careless of all lives but his town. In the space of nine months in the ever-so-swinging 60's, Helen and Clifford meet, fall instantly in love, marry and product the enchanting Nell.

But there the want changes hands, as it will, time and again, in the course of this seductively high-spirited move. "Someone, somewhere, must be wicked," says the narrator, "or the world wouldn't be in the state it's in." Clifford falls prey to a scheming heiress; the perfect marriage ends in divorce; and little Nell, due to her parents' fecklessness and avarice, is lost. Lost to them, that is, until years later, when they have learned enough to deserve her.

Written in a writer's prime, in a state of grace, The Hears of Lives of Men is a modern fable for grown-ups. Good triumphs over evil; true love outlasts lust and greed; and if some people are beyond redemption, the justice they are dealt is perfectly crated and deeply satisfying. As is Fay Weldon's splendid new novel.

Members Reviews:

A real gem of a book

Not many books start off with the main character gestating in her mother. This one does. And it is totally right and just so to do. There are twists and turns and deus ex machines in this story that are totally impossible -- but the reader must suspend belief and will do so willingly. The plot begs to be followed around the next bend. This novel is somewhat chatty like Fay Weldon's other books, but it is more plot-oriented and not as jam-packed with characters. I didn't have the urge to create a character chart to keep things straight. If you don't know Fay Weldon and you start with this book, you will become an addict.

Holding steady

You a Fay fan? Nothing different here. Just as funny as ever and just as jaw-dropping....even after all the previous novels. Can't keep a good author down! So much fun.

Another weldon winner

Witty, compassionate, complex and always charming novel set in the swinging sixties of London.

The art world background and cultural musings make this especially interesting. Weldon's voice is brilliant, bodacious and always a pleasure to read.

A Delightful Tragicomedy Of A Modern Day Fairy Tale!

Fay Weldon gives new meaning to irony in "The Hearts And Lives Of Men." This is a satiric love story, peopled with some of the most original characters I have met in years. Weldon gets right to the guts of the love-hate contradiction, that exists in all of us, and turns it into grand comedy, and sometimes, grand guignol.

What does Jessica Almasy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Members Reviews:

Distractions are Good

My first book by Anna Sugden and I loved this book..I'm a hockey Fan...So I loved every minute of this book, and this book has heart and passion.

Single mother Maggie Goodman was helping her sister Tracy out. All she had to do was interview Jake Badoletti of the New Jersey Ice Cats, and make sure his move went smoothly.

All Jake wanted was to go home...after a tragic accident happens to his team mate from another team, and the move to another he needs no distractions...He has to focus..

Jake was learning Maggie was becoming a perfect distraction...He learns two things that were very important to him...The game and Maggie, but one wrong move and he could lose out on something...What will happen? He becomes fond of her daughter Emily.

Jake and Maggie started to hang out a lot, well that's because she was trying to find him a place to live...Things got a little more serious. Maggie had to be careful. It was something that happened with her ex. She didn't want to ever relive.

Buy the book, and find out what happens between these two, and Maggie's daughter Emily. It's heartwarming...a little sad, but you'll see..

Highly recommend this book...

A Fantastic Debut!

My hockey streak continues, and in hunting the âHockey Listsâ on Goodreads, I found Anna Sugdenâs A Perfect Distraction! (And thatâs exactly what it was! I listened on Audible while I cleaned the house and forgot how much I hate cleaning!!)

Seriously though â Jake âBad Boyâ Badoletti is a fantastic Hero. Heâs getting his life together, after a tragic accident killed his best friend. And Maggie is getting her life together after she left her abusive ass of an ex husband. Their characters are fantastic and they both live these indulgent lives that we all dream of. They work great together, because they both are keeping some of their past hidden (cliche, but fantastic) and they are both trying to get their stuff together.

This debut novel (HQN Super Romance) has me anxiously awaiting Julyâs A Perfect Trade â book number two! Anna Sugdenâs writing is wonderful â sheâs got her characters and her storylines well fleshed out.

Members Reviews:

So many reviews, so little good to read about in the book.

First of all, I want to say that I am a published author. I like to read other newbie writers work to see at what level in their career that they might be. Iâve read most of the reviews written about this book, and the consensus was pretty close to what I was thinking. Iâve pulled some bits and pieces from a few of the reviews and paraphrased them to coincide with my own perspective of this literary piece.

âThis book is full of typos and grammatical errors. There wasnât a clear cut story line and, the ending was, just there; really was no ending. The book just stopped. Don't waste your time or money on this.â

âNot only does the story jump all over the place, but the sub-plots are a little confused and get muddled. The story doesnât feel consistent and it makes it difficult to keep a hold of the plot-line. There are bits that are written with real skill and do show the potential of the author, but they are just âbits.â Itâs a shame because I kept reading only to see what on earth would happen next.â

âAnother glaring issue was the tense changes, and within the same paragraphs, there were multiple POVâs.â

âI hate having to deal with grammatical errors and out of sequence events that have me flipping back and forth trying to make sense of what was actually happening.â

âThere were a few places when the author had incorrect names of some of the designers, and even incorrect character names.â

âThe book was a hard read for me. In my opinion, it's not worth it. I can not recommend it.â

âI'm sorryâ It is the sloppiest writing, I have ever seen. It is obviously poorly edited and has not been proof read.â

âThe gaps between scenes without explanation, had me sometimes, scratching my head. The chapters were full of typos - the tense constantly changed from third person to first person.â

And finally, the best in the litter was, âWho writes a book that leaves so many things unfinished, without an ending, just so you will buy the next one! I realize that there is a sequel, but at least, bring this book to an understandable finishes.â

I, myself, wrote a series of stand alone stories, under the main title of âThe Mia Perez story.â Each book was written with a beginning, middle and ending in mind. But, the stories connected with each other in a way as to build a complete story when the series ended.

To sum up my review, although entertaining at times, this was probably one of the worst books I've ever read. There wasnât any resolution, and thatâs an important part of any book.

Publisher's Summary:

Eighteen-year-old Ava knows this summer is going to be one of the best ones yet, but it isn't going how she originally planned....

Ava's life takes an unexpected turn on graduation day, when Jason, the love of her life, suddenly dumps her. Blindsided and feeling betrayed she is determined to win him back at the end-of-year frat party. Something that wasn't in her plan, however, was being sidetracked by a complete and total stranger.

When he meets Ava his whole world is turned upside down. He doesn't know why but he knows that this is the girl he's supposed to be with. The only problem is going to be trying to convince her of the same thing.

Members Reviews:

Ummm ok what the hell did I read?

Ok first off there were a few mistakes in the book that annoyed me.

2. Filled with Ava and Lily talking about their relationships but not off having one.

3.this bok moved super fast that summer was over before I turned the page. Adrian had no development who is he? What kinda of man is he?

Did it bother anyone else that his parents were just random. The author needs to work on this book make it a little longer, Ava needs to develop as well

quick read

This was an okay book. Your typical "falling in love" story.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as others I've read, but maybe that's because I graduated high school ten years ago. Maybe had I been closer to the main characters in age, it would have been more appealing. But it was just a run of the mill story. Nothing bad happened, no one had pasts they were running from, no drama (minus Ava and her ex, but that wasn't really "drama" in my eyes).

Overall, it wasn't bad, but it didn't blow me away.

Enjoyable

a pretty short book about first loves and broken hearts, bee relationships and super fast advancement (ie. moving in together, sleeping together, saying I love you)...very good as far as plot and drama, story could have been a little longer to drag out the "milestones" in the new relationship. I enjoyed both Ava and Adrian even Ava and Adrian's friends were alright....I felt the passion between Ava and Adrian even if they didn't really have a converstaion and get to know each other....I gave it 3 beautiful stars

Young Summer Love

A Summer to Remember was a quick light read.

Ava is devastated when her boyfriend Jason breaks up with her on the morning of their high school graduation. After graduation, Ava and her friends go to a frat party and then enters Adrian. Ava and Adrian feel an instant attraction to one another.

Will it develop into something of will it just be a summer fling?

You need to read this story to see what will happen between Ava and Adrian. Give it a try.

Summer Love

I had just finished Reasonable Doubt 2 yesterday and was looking for something to read. I had purchased this book when it was free I loved the cover of the book. So I decided to go ahead and read it. I loved it. I also finished it in one day. I am a little disappointed that it end ed in a cliff hanger. I went to buy the second book but it isn't available yet.

An older man, a younger woman. The story is as old as time. And if the man is her father's best friend, with everything working against them, can it really be love?

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

The product arrived as told in perfect condition.

Sandra's View"OK"

This book had 477 locations on my kindle. The book was about a mature 40 something, man named Rand and a strong minded 20 something, woman named Laney, short for Delaney. Laney had always secretly lusted after Rand, and Rand certainly desired Laney. They never said anything to each other about their feelings because of the 15 year age difference between them. There were a few sex scenes and then the book ended. I gave the book 3 stars, because the book was just too short, to really get the know the main characters.

Wonderful chemistry!

I liked this story, but wish it would have been longer.

Ms Stockham has done a wonderful job of telling a story that has been told too many times to count! Laney and Rand have a very strong chemistry, and I found myself rooting for them.

Rand is Laney's father's best friend, and knows that her father wouldn't approve of a romance between the two of them, so he doesn't let her know of his love. Laney is beautiful and has men coming on to her all the time, but she only wants Rand. She doesn't think he would want her because of his friendship with her father, and the fact that he's fifteen years older than she is.

When Laney suffers a devastating loss, Rand is the one who is there for her. They give in to their chemistry, but have some hurdles to cross before they can find their happy ending.

The only problem is that you don't know how they handled the situation with her father. I'm hoping that there's a lot more of their story in the full length novel, "Blind Man's Bluff".

Over all, I would definitely recommend this story!!!

It should have been a full length novel.

The idea behind the story was great and the next in the series is a full length novel but this one was just too short for me. The length didn't give you a lot of time to get a feel for the characters or to see what will happen when the relationship became public due to the age difference.

Short but sweet

A short story of love where age is just a number. 15 years is a big difference when one is 18 or 20, but as one gets a little older, it is not so much. Maturity tends to make the difference seem like a little thing when love is involved.

Arizona Ivy won't stop until she gets her story. The fearless blonde is rebuilding her life - leaving Hollywood and heartbreak behind - to jump-start her journalism career. When a woman is abducted, she knows she has her big break, and wants the truth. If only the victim's ruggedly handsome brother wouldn't keep getting in her way.

And he's not going to allow a sexy reporter to distract him. They'll have enough trouble taking down the arms dealer who has his sister. Passion could be a deadly distraction.

Members Reviews:

Rescue

The plot starts slow and seems to.be looking for a direction. About half way through the book, the author finds the plot.and the floundering ends.

An abundance of intrigue

The new miniseries by Jennifer Morey called Ivy Avengers is off to a compelling start with plenty of suspense and issues packed with emotional conflict. Her main couple is thrown into a situation that professionals would normally deal with, yet time and again, it is up to these two to handle whatever crops up. This results in numerous incidents where their lives are in danger and choices could profoundly affect their futures. FRONT PAGE AFFAIR is deeply intriguing plus passionate.

When Braden McCrae received a phone call to meet with his parents, he was stunned when told his sister is missing. She had gone to the British Virgin Islands and has not been in contact since her arrival. Braden has a friend from college whose chosen career is to locate people, and he goes to get advice from the man. When he gets there, the sister of his friend is visiting and ends up becoming involved in the undertaking to bring his sister back home.

Although Arizona Ivy is from a famous family, she wants to become known for what she has accomplished and her goal is to be a respected journalist. She believes there could be a good story for her to write, but only if she can get the facts about what has occurred to Braden's sister. Then making certain the woman is found alive also becomes equally important as their differing views change. When they begin to investigate, questions and their desire for the other rapidly mount.

As the questions mount up in FRONT PAGE AFFAIR, so does the unexpected attraction between two unlikely individuals. Neither is looking for a relationship, but sometimes the sexual pull is way too strong to ignore, even when their inner thoughts keep reminding them of the reasons to stay away. Braden and Arizona have experienced personal hurt in the past when it comes to someone who was supposed to be a lifelong partner. Now they are overly cautious and their lives are influenced by this wariness. Arizona especially lets what happened impact her current decisions, as it seems very difficult for her to let go and be truly happy. Her trying to aid Braden in locating his sister is an endeavor she believes will bring contentment, but being around the tempting man only causes more uncertainty to her already confused thoughts.

What is going on with his sister is a huge mystery and finding the answers they need is not at all easy. A number of complications bring much danger into their lives, and some of their reactions are not always well thought out.
