Misunderstood

Calamity Place #1

by Sandy Appleyard

Sometimes secrets tear us apart. Sometimes secrets bring us together. Kendra and Ian had no idea their secrets would fuel romance.


On the surface, Kendra is seen as the apartment’s gossip, but underneath she’s a woman who has felt pain in a way that most haven’t. Hiding behind a pair of non-prescription lenses is a girl who loves, laughs, cries, and enjoys life...all from behind her living room curtains. Her best friend vows to help Kendra live vicariously through her own socialite lifestyle, but at the end of the day, Kendra shrinks back to the wallflower she is, pushing her loved ones away.


Ian Wilkinson is the heartthrob that doesn't know Kendra exists. He's beautiful, rich, and women crawl all over him...which he hates. His mother constantly sets him up with shallow, gold-digging women who follow him around like a lost puppy. Ian Wilkinson also has a secret. When women learn his flaw it usually sends them packing...until now.


Kendra is about to learn that she is not the only person who is misunderstood...will they both be able to share their pain and accept their personal flaws?


This is the first book in a light-hearted, page-turning romantic trilogy that has a cliffhanger ending. Filled with laughs, family issues, drama, and wholesome love, Misunderstood is about personal challenges and finding love.

This is an amazing story that encompasses many characters lives within the book. So you learn about all the people living at Calamity Place. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Sandy Appleyard; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

This is my first time reading anything by this author and I found this book to be lighthearted and enjoyable. It’s an interesting plot with likable characters. It does end with a cliffhanger so be prepared to have to buy more books to get the ending.

I did love the switching POV between the two main characters in the beginning in order to get a better understanding of their backstory before they start a storyline together. The characters had their own personalities that sometimes conflicted even with best friends that kept me wanting more.

Eeh

I've read better.... It feels like a 15year old wrote it. Just bland. Waited too long to tell what the "problems" were. And just in general not worth it

I just couldn't get into the story or want to read about the characters, so I didn't finish this book.
