To Judge a Book: 5: Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo by Heather Wardell...!!Free book for nook alert!!

!!Free book for nook alert!!

I got this from barnesandnoble.com for free for my nook.

I have to admit, after reading the first page of about fifty free books, I was not expecting much from this book, but it just goes to show, some good things in life do come free. This book is probably not going to be a guy's cup of tea, or thermos of black coffee, but as far as chick-flick type books go, this is the cream of the crop.

It follows the one month separation of Candice and her husband, Ian, while he is away on a business trip overseas. They've had some personal issues following the death of Ian's parents, have grown apart, and Candice intends to use the time that Ian is away to decide whether or not their marriage is worth saving.

This plan however, is derailed when Candice is given a project at work (at a design company) and winds up working in close contact with her first love, Kegan.

Over the course of the month, Candice goes out on some wild nights with her girlfriends, gets a tattoo (which everyone but Kegan said she would not do because she "is not the tattoo type"), gets her first wrap at a spa, gets in close proximity with her ex, misses her husband, and finds out something that could break their marriage apart even if she had not been considering what might have been with her first love.

The author has a great sense of humor, too, and in addition to crying in some part, I was actually laughing out loud and wanting to share certain parts with my husband because they were just so funny.

This is definitely worth reading. Possibly twice.

**Content Advisory: a little cussing, some close-to racy parts, nothing sleazy. Suitable for 16+. This was not a Harlequin romance type novel (thank God).
I do advise this for anyone (guy or girl) who has thought about cheating or leaving their spouse.
