Product Description
MEET JACK
Dadness. Women have a sixth sense for it. To them, you're like an old bull in a field at the side of the motorway, harmlessly chewing the cud, watching the world race by, nothing like the wild buffalo stock from which you came. And that's how it should be, of course, after seven years of marriage to the woman you love. But, lately, as I've looked around, all I've seen is temptation. From random women in the pub, to my foxy new boss...they've left me doubting whether I've really been put out to pasture at all...
MEET AMY
Motherhood, I've discovered, is the great leveller. I could be a celebrated fashion designer (instead of the finding, cleaning, bum-wiping domestic robot I've become), but having kids automatically makes me the same as all the other mums in 'The Coven' up the park. And being 'the same' makes me want to do something terribly rash - like rediscover the impulsive person I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I love Jack and our son, but everyone else seems to be having so much more fun than me - and so much more sex...
The pressure's on.
Can they resist The Seven Year Itch?
Can you?
And if one of them cracks? Will it be Amy or Jack?
It's time to find out...

Format:Paperback
having read Come again and Come Together I was really looking forward to this book, however Amy and Jack are not entertaining enough to fill a whole book! Don't get me wrong there were some funny moments but overall it was a bit dull and I didn't really care what happened to them by the end of it. Persevere with this if you want but I wouldn't recommend it.

Absolutely superb! The fab writing couple of Lloyd & Rees are back and have bought Amy and Jack with them. I adore both the main characters and have loved following their lives, separately and together since "Come Together" in 1999. This third instalment takes us seven years on and is told in the signature two-voice style of the authors which makes it incredibly punchy but oh too easy to speed through! It's a raunchy, sexy and hysterically funny read, as well as being quite sobering and very honest. Whilst Jack questions whether marriage and being a father has stripped him of his "stud" credentials, Amy finds a lack of excitement in the same-old-same-old routine of being a wife and mother. When the feared 7 year itch starts to bother them both, will they scratch? I really couldn't put this down the minute I started, and whilst I may not be a wife or mother I found myself feeling great empathy for Amy as the story unfolds. That's the secret, I believe, of these two superb authors - you never feel alienated, so even if you haven't personally experienced what they put their characters through, you can totally absorb yourself in the story. If you still haven't read a Lloyd & Rees title, but love Mike Gayle, Belinda Jones, Jane Green or Jessica Adams, you will love this.

If you are like me and are scared at the fact that you bought and read Come Together 7 years ago (!) then you have to read the next installment.
I love the fact that Come Again was written, and despite getting to know the 6 friends, you still knew that Jack and Amy were doing ok.
A great book where once again they both get across their points of view of marriage and no-one said it would be easy.
You do wish that sometimes they would just talk to each other, as their innermost thoughts are sometimes so alike!
Another great book in the series, and as another little hint in the end with H and Matt, I can only home there is another book, showing us how the gang from Come Again are geting on (and Jack and Amy!)
Keep writing the books guys!

Not a patch on Come Together & Come Again
Loved the first two books in the series, but this one didn't do it for me. Jack & Amy felt like strangers to be honest.

Come Again - please do!
If you've previously enjoyed the authors' two previous prequels to this book and even if you haven't, it's still a thumping good read. Read more
