Brooklyn Monroe Wants It All
by
Karen Booth
About the book...
She can’t hit the snooze on her biological clock forever…
Love, career, kids—Brooklyn Monroe wants it all. Her beauty company? A triumph. Her love life? Total fail. At 42, that makes motherhood her top priority. With no man in her life, she’s prepared to fly solo, but her plan is derailed when a mailing list mishap turns Brooklyn into a someone-get-me-pregnant internet meme. Making her PR nightmare go away entails a soul-baring interview on national TV. And the guy asking the questions? Her all-too sexy ex.
Talk show host Alec Trakas is the king of bad timing. Case in point, his heartbreaking romance with Brooklyn. Alec was all about commitment but Brooklyn was launching her start-up, and forever wasn’t in the cards. Now a shot at his ultimate dream job depends on convincing Brooklyn to spill the secrets leading to her viral celebrity. It sets Alec’s star rising, but puts Brooklyn in a sea of flirty men. Fate has thrown them back together. Sparks are flying. But is the timing finally right? Because having it all might not be worth the risk of losing each other again.
----------------------------------------------
Brooklyn was a gal who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it. She and her sister paid their dues in the business world, under the firm thumb of their mother, no less, took things off path with their own startup, and made a success of it against all odds. True, there was the odd sacrifice along the way, I mean who's personal life doesn't take the back seat to their work life now and again, but while her sister muddled through and found her happy ever after match, Brooklyn just couldn't make a debt in her calendar. Annual gyno appointment later and she's reminded that a woman's fertility has a time clock attached... and hers is ticking towards zero with deafening tocks. Not on one to sit on her laurels because she's always wanted a child, Brooklyn makes it her mission to get the job done, one way or another, man in her life or the scientific equivalent. Smart cookie right? All seemed kosher until a well timed joke kicks her search into high gear in a most cosmically funny and cringe worthy way. Good thing Brooklyn knows how to navigate uncomfortable waters, and who knows... like has a funny way off working with fate for some unexpected but amazing results sometimes.
Unconventional? Yes, but I was rooting for her all the way! From the moment I could see the BIG MOMENT going astray to the reunion that we weren't certain was for the best, but you couldn't help but hold your breath for, I just knew it girl would power through and land on her rock star heels running! Every misstep, every misfire...I tried to see the bright side. The should have been proofed letter, the responses aplenty, the good guy’s reconsideration, the story that took on a life of its own, all went into adding color and flavor to this tale. It showed us a woman's woman not afraid to follow her own path, dance to her own beat and demand the best out of life in all areas. It reminds us that we can have it all, if not exactly in the ways we imagined, and if we're willing to work for it. Whether it's a refocus of priorities, or an acceptance of compromise, anything is possible with a little tweaking.
