One Mistake, Seven lives.....

In a heart-felt and page-turning sequel to her debut, The Ties that Bind, Parks follows Mia, Christian and Brice's friendship as they attempt to tie up the Loose Ends. This time around we are introduced to Kree who is married to Brice; and Mia is married to Christian. It is 5 years later and the unresolved issues of Mia and Brice's divorce begins to blanket their lives in an unexpected way.This book was a quick and enjoyable read asking a profound question "Do we have control over who we love or just how we love? If you have not read The Ties that Bind, do not let that be a motive for not reading Loose Ends.Missy

Awesome Reading

Loose Ends is the kind of book that, if you have to put it down, you will be dying to get back to it. The characters are very identifiable in our lives. It's funny how we dont want to see the holds men can have on women, but Ms. Parks shows us something in relationships that is true and real. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to another fine novel, real soon, from this talented writer.

Something Special

I have to give credit where credit is due.Electa Parks is an excellent author.It takes talent to name a book that actually has something to do with the characters.She has gotten into the souls of each one of her characters and brought out something so realistic and wonderful.She had me searching my soul thinking if I were in each one of these people places would I have done the same things they did or would I have reacted differently.....this book made me laugh,soul search and cry....If you have not read this book....it is a must....Get ready you are in for a real treat....

Excellent Continuation

I have been a fan of Electa's from the beginning. I've waited patiently for this continuation to come out and was one of the first to purchase it. I wrote Electa right away after finishing it.But on to the real stuff, this book was all that. It keeps you wanting more. It's a definite page turner. You have to read "The Ties That Bind" first though to understand everything. The characters are real, you can relate to them. Mia, Christian, Brice and Kree. There should be more Christian's in the world. Don't underestimate Kree she's a smart cookie. Mia is Mia, that's all I can say about her. And Brice is a piece of work. Keep up the good Electa, your #1 fan from New Jersey.
