The Anatomy of Jane by Amelia LeFay
SUMMARY
Jane
I’ve always been on my own. My life used to consist of nothing but work, keeping Allen out of trouble, and if I had time, sleep. Then I became their maid.
Max
Every day more than half a million people tune in to watch my show. They trust me. I know it’s because I’m the only son of the prominent Emerson family. However, I like to believe it because I’m honest no matter what story I report on. I’m honest about everything but the man I’ve been f**king for the last four years… and now her.
Wesley
First I want three things: First Maxwell Emerson and Jane Chapman both in my bed. Second, to be the best bloody chef in the country. Third, to figure out how to simultaneously get the first and second things I want without any of us getting hurt.
THREE PEOPLE.
ONE LOVE STORY….
MY REVIEW
I am a sucker for fairytales. I confess...
And this book is the absolute fairytale times two.
There are:
-a land far far away, Boston
-this poor girl, Jane, innocent at heart (but tigress in bed as she proves)
-not just one, but two princes, Max and Wesley, who are in love and who will eventually fall in love with Jane
-the evil queen who wants to sabotage Max and Wesley's true love (that's Max's mother!)
-the fairy godmother who will buy Jane a stunning dress and stunning shoes and she will take her to the ball to impress the princes (that's Max's cousin, Irene)
-The official ball where Jane will kiss both Max and Wesley - not at the same time, but with similar out of this world results
Well, I loved the story. I loved everything about it. When Max met Wesley 4 years ago... Kaboom, the earth suttered. Wesley was a chef in France and he basically followed Max in Boston and opened a restaurant there. He is a famous chef while Max has an important career in TV. Both are famous, both are rich and they are in love.
Jane is nobody. She works at a striptease club, not as a dancer but as a bar woman, an accountant, a seamstress, a factotum. She is boss' best friend, but she will be desperately jobless when he fucks her up. She will find a job as a cleaning lady and she will end up cleaning Max and Wesley's castle, their penthouse at 2829 W Rowling street.
There will be attraction, there will be the ball and before the night of the ball finishes, there will be a marriage proposal. How crazy is that?
A few gangsters later, the three of them will find their way to bed. They will live another big bang that will shake their worlds and change their lives as they know them forever.
What I loved in this book:
1. Both of the males are true alpha, arrogant, cocky, impossible to live with males. Usually in mmf stories one of the guys is more sensitive, smoother, playful compared to the other guy and the two guys are complimentary to each other. In this book, you take an over the top Alpha male times two (or better two to the power of two). They are not complimentary to each other. On the contrary, one is the exact mirror image of the other. The testosterone runs high every time these two are in bed.
2. The funny bits: like when Jane decided to clean the penthouse at 12.47 am Saturday night because it was Saturday already and this was a cleaning day. Or when Jane met the mothers of Wesley (yes the MOTHERS)
There is a cliffhanger in the book, but a good one. One that creates warm feelings, faith and hope that everything will work out in the next book.
Well, this is a complicated story, but life is complicated anyway. Nothing is JUST black and white.

The Anatomy of Us (WJM, #2) by Amelia LeFay
SUMMARY
The stunning conclusion to THE ANATOMY OF JANE…
It's simple really.
Jane prefers to never get romantically involved with either of the two men that could be the father of her child.
Wesley wants to open another successful restaurant and forget all about the ménage à trois he had with Maxwell and Jane.
Maxwell wants the three of them back together and will do anything to make it happen…even if means getting on his knees.
See…simple, right?
Three lovers, one love story...
MY REVIEW
The two Alpha boys meet again and when these two meet again, they feel the earth move under their feet and the sky tumbling down.
Jane feels the same way when they find her again.
And I felt the same way, when I was reading about their reunion.
I could be fuming about many things. For example:
1. I could be angry with Max because he left Wes and Jane and he did not want their support and almost broke them. But Max is a stubborn, arrogant, self-contained man. He could not let them see him with a physical fragility and incapacity. I am also sure that he thought his recovery would have taken less time.
2. I could have been angry with Jane because she took their baby away from them and never told them and she kept them away when she was creating memories with their daughter. But Jane is a stubborn, independent woman. She could not trust easily and none of them has actually, physically told her that he was in love with her (The key word here is “physically”).
3. I could have been angry with all of them, because there was not enough groveling by any of them – All of them made mistakes, especially Max. But it was okay because all of them are stubborn and too much alike. So they can understand how the others are feeling.
4. I could have been annoyed with the lack of enthusiasm by Jane in the beginning. I missed her bubbliness and her easygoing self. But Jane has suffered a lot alone and her kid almost died.
5. I could have whined because Masley is not behaving like a three years old kid. And I know this for a fact, because I have an almost four years old kid and an almost six years old kid. But maybe Masley is a well-developed kid or something. Her parents are very clever for sure.
6. I wish they were more emotionally connected before a kid appeared in the mix and they tried to become family. But a kid is always a blessing.
7. I could bitch about some syntax errors and typos. But I am the last person to talk about these things, because I can never avoid them when I write something.
I WILL NOT COMPLAIN OR CRITICIZE!
I SIMPLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ALL THE ABOVE.
This is a new book and a new phase in these people’s lives.
The “Anatomy of Jane” was fresh, bubbly, bright pink, innocent, exciting, sunny, but
the “Anatomy of Us” is mature, thoughtful, deep red, experienced, knowledgeable and rainy
And this is a good thing!
I loved so many things about this book:
1. Max is finally free. He doesn’t care who knows about them and he is affectionate with Wes in the public. He laid claim to both Wes and Jane.
2. Wes is so relieved, because Max is not ashamed of their relationship and he is not Max’s dirty little secret anymore.
3. Jane beats up the most hateful character of the series and for a good reason.
Long lasting applause by me!
4. I love their signs’ combination: Sagittarius and Aries and Libra, the air sign who brings the balance between the two fire signs. I like balanced relationships LOL
5. I love Wes.
When Max and Wes get finally together there is KABOOM and fireworks and when Max, Wes and Jane get finally together there is KABOOM – KABOOM and fireworks and beating the drum. And everything is sizzling hot.
So yeah, I think I’m good...
