About this audiobook

Sensational New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams breaks bounds with this emotionally wrenching, heartbreakingly real New Adult novel of love, passion, guilt, honor, and infidelity.

Twenty-three year old Kamryn Cunningham has left behind a privileged, turbulent past for the anonymity of small-town life. Busy with her new bakery, she isn’t interested in hook-ups or fix-ups. Then she meets the very sexy, very married Brody. Though she can’t deny the pull between them, Kamryn isn’t a cheater and she’s not good at sharing.

Twenty-six year old Brody Saco may be married, but he isn’t happy. When his girlfriend got pregnant six years ago, he did the right thing . . . and he’s been paying for it ever since. Now, his marriage is nothing but a trap filled with hate, manipulation, and blame—the remnants of a tragedy that happened five years earlier. While he’s never broken his vows, he can’t stop the flood of emotion that meeting Kamryn unlocks.

Brought together by an intense heat that is impossible to resist, Brody and Kamryn share stolen moments and nights that end too soon. But is their love strong enough to bear the weight of Kamryn’s guilt? And is Brody strong enough to confront the pain of the past and finally break free of his conniving wife?

    I like this book! Just like most of Molly McAdams books the story lines very intriguing and I just can't stop listening/reading. The male narrator in this audio book was a little distracting. He's "female" voices especially for Kamryn was, bad, very laughable. Which I don't think was the intention.

    DNF at 20%-unrealistic and irritating. KC runs away from her upper-class family to avoid an arranged marriage and sets up her own bakery in a small town. This comes across as justified as her groom-to-be was painted as a misogynistic snob. Brody is stuck in a marriage to a vicious woman who drains their bank accounts for fun. They accidentally run into each other (literally) and the spell was cast. They both can't stop thinking about each other, dreaming about each other, and neither have ever felt this alive. Oh, the tragedy! To me, it all felt like a modernized regency romance where she is running away from her betrothed and miraculously into the arms of the rake/rogue/duke/earl (Brody who is miserably married in this case) that cannot marry/shouldn't marry her for whatever reason. Also, the dialogue was so cheesy to me that it was unrealistic. Someone you have only had a five minute conversation with comes into your work and asks you to define the relationship that you don't have yet because you've only had a five minute conversation? And this is shortly after "accidentally" crashing the date you were on with someone else? How is this realistic? I have not read any books by Molly McAdams before but, based off of the writing in this book, I can't say that I would be eager to read another one anytime soon. Please note: A physical copy of this book was generously provided through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer's program in exchange for an honest review.

    There is scheming and devious behavior on both sides of the families of these two young people who meet by accident and fall terminally in love immediately. Problem #1 he is married. His wife seems bipolar at the least, crazy at best, but turns out to be a manipulating actress covering up her own affairs. Problem #2 she has run away from a super controlling family and established a new life for herself when her past intrudes. Will they achieve happily ever after? The author has us rooting for their success. My thanks to Ms. McAdams and The Reading Room for a complimentary copy.

    Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: I really wanted to like this book, but when you can’t respect the characters it is really hard to build any kind of connections with them. While I love Molly McAdams other books this one just wasn’t for me.Opening Sentence: The sound of three familiar, masculine laughs stopped my retreat to my room, and I quietly tiptoed back toward the study.The Review:Kamyrn Cunningham grew up in a very privileged family. Her parents come from old money and the Cunningham’s are known as royalty in the horseracing world. For most of her life Kamyrn played the part of the perfect daughter, but she never felt like she fit into her world. When she finds out that her longtime, parent approved boyfriend is going to purpose she decides that it is time to leave. The only way to truly leave behind her world is to completely disappear and start over. She moves to a small town in Oregon and opens her own little bakery. She goes by the name of KC and she can never remember a time in her life when she has been happier. So far she has avoided dating, but that all changes when she meets Brody, a sexy cop that she is instantly drawn too, but there is the slight problem that he is married.Brody Saco has been stuck in a loveless marriage for years now. Six years ago he got his girlfriend pregnant and because he is a good person he did the right thing and married her. After a horrible tragedy struck, the couple was left devastated and Brody has felt at fault ever since. He knows that his wife needs help and he feels that it is his responsibility to give it to her even though she is a manipulative, terrible person. Brody has always been faithful to his wife, but when he meets Kamyrn he can’t seem to stay away.At first I really loved Kamyrn. She fled her old life to start over new which is not an easy thing to do. She is a very strong woman that was easy to like, but as her story went on I started to like her less and less. After meeting Brody she becomes a completely different person. Instead of being independent and strong she turns into someone pathetic and weak. She lets a man control everything she does which is exactly what she ran away from. I get that she thinks she loves this man, but the way he treated her was far less than she or anyone deserves. The foundation of their relationship was based on secrets and lies, which is just a recipe for disaster. Also, it wasn’t just Brody’s secrets that were weighing them down, Kamyrn also has a whole closet full of things she didn’t tell him. I wanted so much to like KC but in the end I really didn’t.Brody was in an impossible situation and I get that he feels responsible for his wife. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and guilt he must have felt. In that aspect of his story I could really sympathize with him. I have seen first hand what manipulative people can do to your confidence and how you can become a totally different person because of it. So I understand why he cheated, I just didn’t find the circumstances believable at all. I get having an instant connection, but talking about forever after saying 5 words to each other is not realistic. Brody spent years being faithful to Olivia and after knowing KC for a matter of days they are already having sex. It just felt extremely rushed and that kind of connection is lust not love. I’m not saying it can’t turn into love, but what they did and how they acted is not what I would call love. Because of this it was really hard for me to respect Brody, which in turn made it really hard for me to like him. I ended up not enjoying their romance at all and every time they were together I would just cringe. I really wanted to love these characters but I just couldn’t, which made my connection with them nonexistent.Sharing You was just not a book for me. Going into the story I was very nervous because of the things that were being covered and it ended up really not working for me. I respect that McAdams decided to cover such a tender subject and from reading the author notes it was obvious that this story was very dear to her heart, so I understand why she wrote it. But for reasons I have explained throughout this review it’s obvious that I really wasn’t a fan. I do want to say that I absolutely love and adore Molly McAdams. Everything else I have read by her has been amazing and rest assured I will still be reading everything else she writes because I love her that much. I feel like I can’t personally recommend this book to anyone, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t enjoy it if you give it a try. Either way, do not let this review deter you from reading other books by McAdams because honestly she is a fantastic author!Notable Scene:I’d just rounded the corner leading out of the living room when I ran into a brick wall. The wall’s hands shot out and grabbed my upper arms to steady me at the same time I reached out and grabbed broad shoulders in an attempt to keep myself upright and looked up. I inhaled audibly, and his grey eyes widened as his lips separated. My chest was rising and falling quicker than normal, and it had absolutely nothing to do with running away from Jace or running into the most incredible-looking man I’d ever seen, but damn if it didn’t have everything to do with the man himself.FTC Advisory: William Morrow/Harper Collins provided me with a copy of Sharing You. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.

    Well, I started this book with not so high hopes. I hated the thought of reading a book where the cheating was going to be ok. Molly did an excellent job at making you HATE the wife though. Not my favorite of hers, but still an ok read. I didn't regret reading it, lets leave it at that.

    I received this book as early review. The summary intrigued me but, after the first few chapters I grew bored. I found myself skimming the pages and having to push myself through the chapters with just KC and Broody. I founded it unusual that you never really see any conversations of them getting to know each other. I thought the beginning of their relationship started off extremely fast. You never really see anything in common between them except bad pasts. When Broody finally told KC about his son and what happen to olivia I felt a disconnect with his feelings. There wasn't a lot of emotion. Although, I loved Kinlee and Jaces I would love to read their story. I felt although, Olivia was an insane character that she could be a real person. My favorite part of Molly Mcadam's books are her epilogues sadly in this one I felt that it was missing some characters. Such as Barb, Grace and Andrew maybe even a paper showing Olivia and Charles engagement. Even though Olivia was an awful wife to Broody I would like to know that she gets a happy ending too. So, much hate is pointed at her but she went through the same pain as Broody. It was clear they where never met for each other in the first place, but Broody went on and got a new happy ending. Where is hers?

    When I first began reading, Sharing You, I wasn't so sure if this book was my cup of tea. I had struggles with accepting the fairytale quality of Brody and Kamryn's 'love at first sight'. It just didn't feel believable that they instantly had strong feelings for each other after knowing each other for all of two seconds and without saying a single word to each other. I also had troubles with the hard breaks that happened throughout the book. I felt as if the author would be building up a good flow, only to break that flow by ending the chapter or switch POVs. The switch felt harsh and sometimes had me backtracking to make sure I didn't skip any pages.Now some might be wondering why I gave this story a four star rating after reading the first part of my review. I simply loved the characters. Even though I had struggles believing the story, the characters felt very real to me and getting to know them was fun and entertaining. Brody and Kamryn, Jace and Kinlee, Olivia (I didn't like her, but she definitely gave the story flare), along with the other characters. They helped smooth over my grievances with the mentioned aspects from the beginning of my review.Would I read this book again? More than likely. My love for the characters is enough to come back to this book and read their story again.

    I enjoy Molly McAdams's books. Her characters display emotions that you feel coming off if the page with each word. In "Sharing You", she takes desperate situations and up until the end, you don't know how she's going to work it out.

    I have never read anything by Molly McAdams before, but I think I will look for more!! I was asked to give a honest review in exchange for this book, and I am so glad I signed up for it. It was amazing! The writing sucked me in and the story kept me there. I recommend this for a beach day/pool side book. Its an easy read that you can finish in two to three days time!! I will recommend to all my book friends too!!!

    I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book, considering the topic is of a man being unfaithful during his marriage. After reading about Brody's wife, Olivia, and her family, I can't understand how he hadn't cheated on her before meeting Kamryn. They were awful people.You can't help but feel sorry for Brody. He's had to deal with the death of his son, and the guilt trips Olivia put him through over the years. I was hoping he found a happy ending.Kamryn's family isn't any better than Olivia's. It was nice to see her have the courage to run away and follow her dreams of starting a bakery.I didn't care for Brody when kept telling Kamryn he was going to leave Olivia but instead he kept staying with her. While he thought Olivia was mentally unstable and wanted to get her help, you can't help someone if they don't want to help themselves. He should have left; instead, he almost strung Kamryn along with promises it seemed he had no intention of keeping. There was no doubt that he loved Kamryn, but there was doubt that he was ever going to be free to be with her.I also didn't care for him when he found out about Kamryn's family. Sure, they stood for everything he despised, but he didn't give her a chance to explain. He just jumped to conclusions, assuming she was like them, once again hurting Kamryn. After everything she had to deal with--feeling guilt for being the other woman and not being able to tell anyone how she felt about him, and listening to his continued promises of leaving his wife, and hiding from her dreadful family--the least he could have done was give her a chance to explain before just storming off.Even though he annoyed me at times, I was glad he and Kamryn were able to find happiness. If any two people needed it, it was them. I enjoyed the secondary characters. Aiden seemed like such a nice guy, and I hope he'll get a book so he can get his deserved HEA as well.This story made me laugh, made me frustrated, made me angry, and made me happy. I really enjoyed it, but it won't be for everyone. If you have an issue with infidelity, even if it happens in a loveless marriage, you probably won't enjoy it. If you're willing to overlook that, then I highly recommend you give it a try. **An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review**
