For the record I loved Chey's book. I felt that you did a great job conveying the grief of what not having a child would do to Dylan and that his brother and her sister were willing to put their own reservations aside for people they love.
I loved the series and I always looked forward to new releases in the series. My favorite book was Dylan and Chey’s book. But after the subplot of book 6, I can’t bring myself to continue the series. I was looking forward to Ava’s book but the motivation is now gone. I have removed all the future books from my ‘To Read’ and I no longer follow Brenda Novak.
Cheyenne and Dylan are human and therefore not perfect. I think a reader has to take the whole situation into perspective about their situation. Most people wouldnot do what Cheyenne did but she is the one who has to live whith her decision. Remember she did it out of love for her husband.
OK I really need to re-read that book because I did not get that at all! I didn't think they decided to go through with all of that....Am I missing it...did I skip a couple pages??
So glad I saw this Q&A. In following books it seems like Chey's circle of friends already know. Is that correct? I've read them out of order so maybe they were referring to Kyle, Brandon sitch.
No, they don't know--just her sister, Joy.
I'm sorry you were disappointed by this subplot in Book 6, Jackie. But I would definitely recommend that you continue reading. I have a fun surprise planned (it hasn't yet come out, but the next books in the series don't deal with Chey and Dylan anyway, and THIS HEART OF MINE, which is part of the series, is probably my favorite book of mine, so I'd hate for you to miss it).
Amy, thanks so much for your comments. That was exactly what I intended--to show that they loved him enough to sacrifice. I think those who have a problem with it are afraid it will split Dylan and Chey up, but what kind of hero would leave a woman who did so much to protect him?
Karen, you make a good point, too. Thank you for your thoughts!
What she did was horrible, there's no justification. Ask yourself, would you be totally cool with being deceived this way? Would you be understanding and supporting knowing your child was not your own as you always believed, knowing your significant other and your sibling have a child together and that they have lied to you.... I don't think so, honestly it's a pretty disgusting thought. Bye bye Whiskey Creek series
So, won't Dylan be hurt and angry with them for plotting "against" him? Because, I mean, you know, Dylan felt like he was less manly for not being able to get her pregnant. Of course that I know that he will understand... bu over time... a lot of time. I think it's an interesting developing in the plot, but I agree that it will be difficult to put correctly into words all that internal conflict. I'm lookinf forward to read how you face it. I'm not from the States, ¿is it true that what she did is not illegal?
It was legal, Esther. :) I hope to finish this subplot in Grady's book. :)
Lala, I'm sorry you're so unhappy with this subplot. I would not be as upset as you think I would be if this happened to me. I would still want a child, and I would even want it to have as much of my DNA as possible. I wouldn't want to have to face that it's not mine, so not telling me would be a kindness. Maybe that's why I wrote it that way. I thought what she did was a kindness, out of love, and any hero would understand that (or he would be too small-minded and petty to be a true hero).
I'm small-minded then but I don't think is petty to be upset if you discover that your child is not your own and that your brother is the biological father, which makes it even worse in my opinion.
Lying is not a kindness in this case, it's just plain lying. By deceiving him, his wife and brother robbed him of the chance of having a say in the matter, maybe he would be okay with raising his nephew-stepson, maybe he would be totally opossed to the idea, they didn't allow him to decide.
I would be totally disgusted by the thought that my husband and sister shared a child.
I enjoyed the series up to that point but I can't keep reading after this.
Hello. Which book does this subplot end in exactly? I want to read that book and clarify in my mind how it will end.
