Are You Satisfied, Yet? (A Betty Jean Title) [Paperback]

M. Bridges (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 2005

Betty Jean Carlson is a woman tired of her life...her love life in particular. She's convinced that no love is perfect and is willing to suffer and sacrifice for hers, confident a wedding ring is worth it all. A painful discovery forces her to look within and ask herself some tough questions. Is her little piece of happiness enough? How much longer can she pretend like it is? Does she even want to? Ezekiel Johnson has been playing the game for so long he has no idea how to stop. Even when he's faced with losing all that he holds dear, he can't find the way to truth and honesty. Carla Jeffries regularly denies herself those two words as well. If she didn't she'd have to figure out what it is she really feels for her ex. A task she'd rather not perform. She's content to bury her feelings and go on with her life, never offering the forgiveness he so desperately craves. The story is the journey of one woman, but all of the characters will take a ride to self discovery before it ends. The first title in a dual series launch.

Who needs a love that only brings hurt, sadness, pain and sorrow? Where are the joy, excitement, smiles, giggles, fun and love? Not in ARE YOU SATISFIED, YET? by M. Bridges.

Betty Jean , Ezekiel Johnson, (Zeke) and Carla are running on the same track, in the same lane, at the same speed with no reguards to any one but thenselves. Each one of them is so concerned about what they want, who hurt them, and I can not believe he or she did that to me.

Not being a selfish person, I could garner no love, repect , nor feelings of sympathy for the main characters. At one point I was so disgusted with Carla, Betty Jean and Zeke, I put the book down. The secondary characters Sheila and Thomas were the strong ones who showed feelings for others and live in th real world.

A superbly written book ARE YOU SATISFIED, YET is the first in a series of books about Betty Jean. I hope in the return of Betty Jean in GETTING UP AND GETTING ON, Betty Jean becomes a character that can be identified with.

Are You Satisfied Yet, is the story of Betty Jean Carlson and Ezekiel Zeke Johnson.

Betty Jean is a beautiful woman inside and out and has it going on in her professional life but her personal life is a straight up MESS! She loves Ezekiel and believes her love will eventually make him change his lying, cheating, ways.
Ezekiel is very handsome with an ego and nerve the size of Texas. He is also doing well in his profession. Actually the only thing he's not doing well in is...FIDELITY.

After almost six years of living together Betty Jean is still of the belief that a commitment from him and marriage is still possible. Unfortunately someone forgot to tell that to Ezekiel!

While Betty Jean knows all about his continued unfaithfulness with other women it's when Carla Jeffries enters the picture and stays there, that she finally begins to question, is love really enough. And at what cost...her self respect, peace of mind?

M Bridges debut novel, Are You Satisfied Yet, is a must read.
There are twists and turns that will have you unable to put this book down until you reach the last page. And even then you'll be clamoring for more.
The characters are so three-dimensional that by the time you finish reading their story you will swear you know them...FOR REAL.

I've had the privilege of reading book two in the Betty Jean series, Getting up and Getting on, and can't wait for the rest of the world to read it. It's fantastic and going to blow your minds!
