Waiting for Jules
The path to happiness is littered with ex-boyfriends, confusing career choices, and lingering insecurities for an ambitious young woman in this touching, romantic debut.
Before leaving for London on an ill-fated business trip, Jules Sinclair had the kind of terrible argument with her beau Marcus full of words she only regrets. Some were said only to hurt, others were heat-of-the-moment slips of the tongue that could never be taken back. All were guaranteed relationship enders. Now that she has arrived back in L.A. and is headed toward the home she shares with Marcus in Beverly Hills. The only thing London has cleared up for Jules is that she does not want out of the relationship. But how does she get back in? Even if she knew the magic words to repair all of the harm, will Marcus even be there to hear them when she puts her key in the door?
It’s the perfect storm that only Jules could have created for herself. Maybe in figuring out how she got into this mess, she can save whatever is left of her future with Marcus.
Filled with tender moments and strong, relatable characters, Waiting for Jules is a charming tale about the necessity of mending the past while on the road to happily ever after.

Not a good read. Could not relate to any of the characters, including Jules. Couldn't even tell you what it was about. And AVOID THE AUDIO VERSION. Narration was not good.

Too wordy. I barely survived the first chapter.

Excerpt of my review...
The book was a slow starter, but once you get past the first two introductory chapters Tamara N. Houston reels you in and hooks you. She has you sitting on the edge of your seat eager to know more about the heroine – Jules Sinclair.
Jules is a career driven, talented, sexy goal oriented woman. She might be you, hell she might be me, or she could be someone who we all know.
She attempts at best to navigate through life while balancing it all; life, love and her career. Just when she feels that she’s mastered the art of healing and moving forward from a painful breakup an unexpected meddler knocks her ten feet back to that dark place that she ran from years before.

From the book: 'Love is the biggest wave we'll ever get...' This book is literary sass. Loved it!

I started and stopped this book several times hoping to find a different perspective and renewed interest. It never quite happened. The characters were not well developed and seemed rather flat. There were points where the emotion felt genuine, other times contrived. I've tried to like it and unfortunately just can't.

Slow start. I stopped and started several times. Once it picked up speed (at 50% of the book), I couldn't put it down. As I look back, I appreciated the very detailed, though lengthy, back story at the beginning. So if you can make it to the mid point, you should enjoy the rest.

This was an interesting novel which had some good points. It shows that people are not always who they pretend to be. Everything done in the dark will come to light. Good story just very ongoing. ....

This is one I just didn't get. Tamara can write but I'm not sure why. I didn't feel any thing for Jules or her relationships. I only finished this one because I was my book club selection for the month.

It was a slow start but soon got interesting. I enjoyed the author's style of writing - sounded very much like the voice in my head.

This was not a good book at all to me. The author was trying to do to much and was all over the place.
