Product Description
Longing, book three in the Bailey Flanigan Series, picks up where Learning ended. After a long and lonely silence from Cody Coleman, Bailey Flanigan becomes closer to her one-time Hollywood co-star, Brandon Paul. Nights on the town in New York City and long talks on the balcony of Brandon's Malibu Beach home make Bailey dizzy with new feelings and cause her to wonder if her days with Cody are over forever. Meanwhile, Cody's work coaching a small-town football team has brought him and his players national attention. In the midst of the celebration and success, Cody finds himself much closer to a woman who seems to better understand him and his new life. Even so, never does much time go by without Bailey and Cody experiencing deep feelings of longing for each other, longing both for the past and for answers before they can move forward. Will an unexpected loss be the turning point for Cody? Will Cody and Bailey find a way back together again for the first time in more than a year? And if they do, will their brief time together be enough to help them remember all they've been longing for?

However, as with the first two books in this series, Longing falls short of being a captivating story. This fan just wants to know what happens next so we can move beyond this series. This story is moving slower than the proverbial molasses dripping uphill.There are many faults with this writing that began with the Dayne Matthews story. The obvious fascination with fame and Hollywood is a bit suspect. You should write what you know not who you know. A fictional story should be inspired by not based on the lives of the people around you. Kingsbury has lost the distinction between her daughter, Kelsey, and the character, Bailey. If you follow her on Facebook at all you'll see all the similarities between the Flanigans and the Kingsburys. The blinders are certainly on in telling the story of Bailey Flanigan. Bailey is a too perfect to live up to character...

When did the lines between a fictional character, Bailey and the author's daughter, Kelsey blur so completely that they became one person. The thing that bothers me most about this book is that the Cody-Bailey relationship has been built over more than 10 books and was suddenly thrown away in one! How does that even happen? I understand the principle of character development, but this was too far a stretch for me. I'm very disappointed in Bailey for falling for the cliche hollywood prince charming over someone who she has so much history with. It is completely unbelievable that the girl who pined over Cody for years would suddenly become so shallow to say, "I've found a guy who has tons of money and speaks like he's reading from the script of a romantic comedy. That's my true love." Sure... I have nothing at all against Brandon. I'm glad that by meeting Bailey,...

Very well written. Five stars for "page turner" appeal. Twists and turns I TOTALLY didn't expect... and totally didn't like to be honest! I picked up the book last night and couldn't put it down until 1:30 this morning when I finished it. So obviously, I have nothing negative to say about Karen as a writer! She is fantastic, and I love that my Christian life and convictions are always challenged when reading her books! I often feel I have been more purged and refined after the reflections that her books bring about than any non-fiction book has ever brought about in me! I know it's a God-given gift, and I love that she uses it to God's glory! Now to the book... I strongly disliked the conclusions drawn and was very disappointed that everything seems to make Brandon look more perfect (blah!) and Cody more flawed in the relationship with Bailey. Cheyenne's admonition to Cody was so weird to me. Suggesting that he must... Read more |
