There was nothing easy about how this books starts. Nick it seems has finally decided to get on with his life 鈥� and so it begins - a road of complications. Eric is pursing his political dream to the exceptional of all else even his long time lover Nick. With a past and a life of marriage and divorce behind him, Eric is not prepared for Nick鈥檚 news 鈥� but be that as it may, he has to accept it, because it鈥檚 Nicks choice and secondly he really has had his time and his chance.

Carrying on, he meets up with Ally - a friend who knows the best and worst of Eric and although reluctant she agrees to go to dinner with him. It鈥檚 a refreshing change for them both. For Eric it鈥檚 a chance to be himself, as after all Ally has seen him at his down and dirties and for Ally she needs to eat and as she was down on her luck at the moment 鈥� and in a sympathetic mood towards Eric, she begins a game that only gets more involved with a proposal from Eric.

Things are not as cut and dry as Eric makes it out to be, as some feeling are not that easy to get rid of and some major players in Eric鈥檚 life has a way of not laying low.

Firstly let me say right off the bat, I didn鈥檛 like Ally when she was introduced in BY CHANCE and I still don鈥檛 like her. As much as COMPLICATION is the shortest of the three books so far 鈥� it packs a hell of a punch.

Starting off with Nick鈥檚 surprising news and in some respect Eric鈥檚 reaction to the news - as really, I didn鈥檛 think he had it in him to give Eric an ultimatum. Meeting up with Ally or Ally running to comfort Eric so to speak can be looked at as a good and a bad thing 鈥� for me, any thing Ally is involved in, it鈥檚 a bad thing (Hate much 鈥� you can tell).

I can see growth in Eric, in his language, in his mannerism and in his style, and that lessens the arrogance we are used to, it coats over some of the issues I had with him and as much as I don鈥檛 like his attitude towards Nick, Nick has made his choice and life move on as they say.

Hence comes Ally, and there begins an enlightenment. We see a side to both Ally and Eric that I am very pleased the author exposed me to. Along with Eric鈥檚 down to earth attitude towards his relationship with Nick and Ally鈥檚 inspection of her life up to that point, things doesn鈥檛 go smoothly and when Eric has a chance meeting there starts the secrets and the lies begins.

COMPLICATION took care of so much for me, fair enough it threw up a lot of questions as well, but I thought this was an intense read, highlighting another side to these characters that I have come to love and hate while leaving me scope to see that they have a lot left to them.

A not to be missed third book that has really now made THE ARRANGEMENT the book to really read. ...more
