Unexpected Rule of Thirds

by Melissa Aragon

Mary has rushed to Sedona to be by Sarah's side after a car accident leaves John in a coma and the mess she created in Phoenix has followed her. Sedona has always been her safe refuge, the place she could go to regain the focus over her life and she's determined to find that clarity again, but Alex, Bryce and new complications aren't making it easy. She'll have to make hard choices and learn to let go of her past before she can move forward.

Love will be found and lost, then found again in this nail-biting conclusion to the roller-coaster romance you fell in love with in Unexpectedly Out of Focus.

About the author

Like most of us on here, the written word stole my heart at a very young age. Before I could even read I loved stories; I loved telling them and I loved being read to! My imagination would run wild with adventure and as I got older with romance and make believe worlds. I remember re-reading Where The Wild Things Are as an adult and thinking 'where's the rest of the story?' it seems I created a whole world around the few pages of that story! Now I've finally decided to try to put that imagination to paper or electronic paper ;) I'm writing my first book and I couldn't be more excited! When I'm not writing or lost in a book, I'm spending time with my family, my husband and great friends.

Reviews

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Every now and then an author writes a book that causes me to really take a strong look at my views on things, my values or morals, making me wonder as to my own judgmental attitudes. Melissa Aragon has written two books in a series that do just that. Unexpected Rule of Thirds is the conclusion to the Alex - Mary - Bryce triangle and answers all the questions and suspicions I had from reading the first book, Unexpectedly Out of Focus.

I am not a person who believes in cheating. I believe that marriage vows are sacred, and everything should be exhausted before a marriage is unable to be salvaged. No buts, ifs, or ands. BUT, this book...this series...is so well written that the author had me really looking at my views on marriage because Bryce and Mary were so right for each other. I can't say that I questioned my views or values, and they certainly didn't change, but I did take a hard look at my own judgments of others. Even if you are one who doesn't enjoy any book with cheating and read to escape reality, we all want our fiction to have a realistic tone to it because it enables us to connect better with the book. This book is real. The first book in the series is real. These events really happen, and they happened to Mary, Alex, and Bryce.

Unexpected Rule of Thirds is a wonderfully written conclusion to the Mary, Alex, and Bryce saga. This book follows Mary's pregnancy, the tug of war between two men fighting over her, and a very controversial topic. I was very happy with the pacing of the book, and the ending wrapped up Mary's story beautifully. If you are open to looking past marital deceptions and want a book established in reality with a blossoming romance intertwined, this is a book you will certainly enjoy. This series must be read in order for the reader to understand the characters' histories, know exactly what is happening, and because most of the character development is done in the first installment.
