Cancelled [NOOK Book]

Kritters Ramblings

Almost a novelette, this little book packs quite a punch in less than 150 pages. With a rough start and a stellar ending, I loved reading a book with both males and a female as the central characters. It was also interesting to read a book with three characters that weren't exactly the typical love triangle. And although this book may not have all the pages that most books may have, the reader is still able to find a deep and twisting story.

I said that it was a rough start because I felt as though from the beginning you were assaulted with all the characters and you were given little time to get to know them each in their own rights. I reread the first few pages twice to make sure that I had each character straight, but once I knew who we were talking about - I was ready to read on.

The twists and turns were fun to take with the characters. Although the three main characters work together, it was nice to see them both on the job and after hours. I felt that they were each complete because the reader saw them through both their work lives and their personal lives.

A little soap opera drama mixed with a great chick lit story made for a perfect novelette for a weekend read. If you like a little drama and some twists and turns, I would advise picking this one up.

A Great Weekend Read!

Elizabeth Ann West's new novel, Cancelled, looks at romance from a man's point of view. Jonathan is living out his dreams-he is the CEO of an engineering company he started with his two best friends, Alexis and Eric.  Even better, he and Alex are finally dating after he spent years harboring a secret crush.
Just as things start to get serious and they start talking about living together and marriage, a one-night-stand from months earlier shows up in his office with news-she is pregnant with his baby.
Jonathan spends the rest of the novel trying to balance the needs of the company and the woman he loves, with what is best for his child.  At times, he is successful.  More often, he can't balance it all, but he sure does try. Through it all, his heart of gold is obvious.
West created a tale that is full of twists and turns, and kept me engrossed throughout.  Jonathan is a very sweet and likeable character, and it was fun to see him mature throughout the book.  The supporting characters were great, and were successful in keeping Jonathan on his toes.

In all, this was a great book.  It is a quick read, and held my attention late into the night.  I would definitely recommend Cancelled to any fans of romance or chick-lit, and am looking forward to future novels from this author.

Must read....

I very much enjoyed this book. Being from the area where the book took place, I found a special place in my heart for the characters. I loved that no matter who picks up the book, a pre-teen on twenty something, the dialect appeals to a wide age range. The plot is very much realistic in today's society.
