He likes whiskey and wild women
She likes Ben & Jerry’s
He’s about to get kicked out of his own band

A lot of unresolved issues
A whole bunch of shared lifetimes
And a love that is never-ending

And keeping that truth from them may just be in preeminent psychiatrist Dr. Claire Stoddard’s best interests.

And she’s not about to lose him to Kylie Martin... Again.

This time he didn’t text. He just called, waking her at two-fifteen a.m.
“Bare-ly dressed again tonight?”
Her laugh, filled with sleep was gruff. “Barely dressed every night.”
“What exactly do you have on?”
“A pink tank top and pink silk bikini.”
“Take them off,” he ordered.
“Excuse me,” there was an element of surprise in Kylie’s voice.
“You heard me. Take them off. Now.” Just hearing rustling on the other end of the line, he could feel his cock stiffen and it felt damn good after all this time. Baby, I’m back, he thought.
“We’re having phone sex? But, Jesse, we haven’t even kissed yet,” her protest was weak. And even she knew it.
“Yes, we’re having phone sex, and when I get back to New York, we’re going to do a lot more than kiss. You’ve friend-zoned me, Toots, and I’m busting out.”
Kylie was smiling on her end of the phone. Friend-zoned Jesse Fucking Winslow? Was he serious? “Nobody puts Jesse in a friend-zone,” she couldn’t help herself.
“Are they off?” He totally ignored her joke.
“Mmm-hmm.”
“What was that?” he asked, his voice gruff and serious.
“Yes, they’re off.”
“Okay, spread your legs, and with your phone, take a picture of your pussy for me.”
“Seriously?” She knew she was blushing in the dark.
“Take the picture, Kylie.”
“Okay, but if you sell this to the paparazzi, I will kill you.” There was a rustling sound, then, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I’m doing this.”
He laughed.
“Okay, here it comes. I hope it’s photogenic. It would be really embarrassing to have a non-photogenic pussy.”
Pulling the phone from his ear to look, Kylie could hear his moan, exciting her even more.
“So photogenic, Toots, just like the rest of you. And I love the red landing strip. It’s so hot. Oh, man, I love this. Spread your legs wider and use one hand to spread your lips open for me and send me another.”
Following his directions, she did as he requested.

I really enjoy almost everything that Ms. Richman writes. This did not disappoint.
I really enjoyed Kylie's character. While she has had a difficult life, she knows that she wants to be better and knows that despite what society has told her, she is much happier the way she is now. When she decides to seek some help for her mental health, she is given the name Claire Stoddard. While Kylie can't quite figure out why she's a little put off by Dr. Stoddard, she continues to attend her sessions.
Then you have Jesse. He's a bad boy and while he's struggling, his bandmates kind of leave him an ultimatum – clean up his act or they walk. While Jesse is working on getting himself healthy, he accidentally walks in on Kylie waiting for her session with Dr. Stoddard. He instantly is attracted to her and they start a friendship that grows into something neither of them realized they had been searching for their entire lives.
Claire is ambitious and wants to work on a thesis that deals with regression and memories from past lives. She is working on that with all of her patients and while she has a mentor, she has an ego on her and doesn't really see her mentor's point of view all that well. When she sees what her patients are revealing, she is faced with a personal and ethical development in her research.
This is a story about how love will always find a way. While it might not be the way you thought, love conquers and perseveres. While I would say this is a happy ending, it's not your typical happy ending and people should be prepared to love and hate throughout the story.
Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
Stunning book, which should reach the top of the bestseller lists because it will appeal to a very wide range of readers. It is utterly entrancing, fascinating, and compelling.
Ms. Richman has created a new classic in my opinion. I know I will read this again, and be recommending it to many, many friends. At its heart is a story as old as time, of a man and a woman, and as it turns out, a man and a woman destined to meet repeatedly before they can try and break the cycle. As these layers are uncovered, and we get an inkling of the darker forces at work, it becomes impossible to stop reading, yet every revelation lays bare an uncomfortable truth. I put it down three times towards the end because the tension is so high, but after a second or two to regroup, I knew I had to find out, even if that also heralded the end of the book – which I wish had never ended.
If you read only one other book in 2017, then it should most definitely be this one.
I must've been 5 or 6 when I started writing "stories." I would write them and hide them. Not wanting anyone to see my "secret" thoughts. I needed to write – even back then. Now I'm just not hiding them anymore. Is that a sign of maturity? Nah...
Writer, photographer, insatiable wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and avid cusser (am a Native New Yorker, so very little offends me... and if I am offended, it must be pretty freaking bad… like bad grammar!)
I am a big believer in signs and if we keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be true. Be you.
Life is not a dress rehearsal...
