Ditching the Dream
by Isabelle Peterson
Jack Stevens
Kevin Parker
Feeling dead in her marriage, Elizabeth Fairchild ditches the dream of her seemingly perfect life with her husband in search of who she really is. She went from her parents' house to her husband's home and never really learned to stand on her own two feet. She decides to leave her comfortable life in Napa Valley in search of her inner fire in New York City. She certainly didn't leave her husband to find another man, but she soon finds herself involved with two: Jack Stevens and Kevin Parker.
Jack is older. He has heart-stopping good looks, is wildly successful, and is very much in control of everything around him - especially Elizabeth.
Kevin is younger. He is carefree with a heart of gold and loves Elizabeth's spirit. While Elizabeth's old life still calls to her, she also finds what she needs in New York. But which dream will she choose?

Review by Brittany
Elizabeth Fairchild has been married to the same man for 22 years. At 43 years old, she's tired of coming in second to her husband's work. When their anniversary dinner leaves Elizabeth feeling unloved, she hops on a plane to New York while her husband is at work.
While in New York, Elizabeth meets two men who get her. Men that make her feel wanted, that put her first. These men turn her world upside down, making her decision of whether or not to return to her husband so much harder.
She first meets Jack. Older, handsome, and domineering, she feels an instant connection to him. He's gorgeous, he's amazing in bed, and has her trying and feeling things she never thought possible.
Then there's Kevin. Younger, sweet, and beautiful. He makes Elizabeth feel cherished and lets her lead, something her husband never did.
Her husband is always on her mind. Greg, the only man she's ever known. They used to be so good together, but lately she feels alone. He promises he'll fix them, but can he? And will Elizabeth give him the chance?
After a month in New York, holding a job, paying rent, finding herself, she makes a decision.
I gave this debut novel by Isabelle Peterson five stars. I highly recommend this for anyone 18 or older. I loved this novel and can't wait for the next one!
