I Do!

This was such a great book...since I hadn't read Ever After and Neva Hafta I really didn't know what to expect. If you haven't yet...go out and get this!

Well worth the wait

I like everyone else has been waiting patiently for this book to come out. I always thought that Jasmine was the one. I never understood why men feel that if a female turn down there proposal it means the relationship is over. I never liked the fact that he left because she said no to his proposal but thats alright, they were a little confused in the beginning but at the end they got back on track. I rooted for you since day one Jasmine. Oh yeah by the way the book was the bomb go out an get it.

Worth every bit of the wait!!!!!

I've waited patiently for this book for over 3 years, and every bit of it was worth the wait! It was a real page turner! I didn't think the book can get any better than the first two, but Edwardo Jackson has outdone himself again!

Incredible read

Hate her or love her, Jasmine is back. I didn't like Jasmine much after the first book, EVER AFTER. I REALLY didn't like her crashing Nick's wedding at the end of NEVA HAFTA. But I have to say that I grew to like Jasmine in I DO? Out of sheer determination, Jasmine went through all kinds of abuse to prove her love to Nick to win him back. True, she missed out the first time by turning down his proposal, but she was young and not ready. Jasmine may be selfish and vain and singleminded, but she is committed, loyal, and the definition of persistence. Men are expected to play themselves in the name of love. It's nice to see a woman playing the initiator, don't-take-no-for-an-answer role and going for what she really wants. Edwardo Jackson is a very talented writer. I'll read anything he writes - twice!

A Gripping Emotional Journey

In EVER AFTER Nick proposed to Jasmine. They were in love. I wanted them to be together forever. However, Jasmine turned him down. Not sure, not ready, whatever! Nick was devastated, and frankly, so was I. In NEVA HAFTA, Nick kinda lost his mind and went on a mad search to find a wife before his mother passes. (She is diagnosed with a life threatening illness) NEVA HAFTA left us (hanging for the longest time), with Tabitha (Nick's wife to be), fighting with Jasmine in the church over who deserves and loves Nick more... The conclusion to this "who love's who tale," is I DO. It's a gripping tale, which really defines Jasmine's intriguing character, along with all the in's and out's that brought her to that Desperate, DEPARATE moment in the church--begging Nick not to make the biggest mistake of HER life by marrying someone else--of questionable character, INDEED! I DO is an emotionally thrilling novel. Hitherto Jasmine had no idea who she loved. In I DO she established that Nick deserved her love more than anyone else. She became beastly and almost psychotic in her quest to win back his affections. She chose the most inappropriate moments to invade Nick's life--and she wasn't subtle about it! I must admit I didn't have any sympathy for her. I mean really...how many No's does a girl need to realise it's all over? In a passionate scene of misguided intentions, Jasmine drove Nick to respond to her in a brutal fashion. This left her in a distraught state of mind. At this point I just wanted her to leave Nick alone--go home, go back to work, hideaway, do anything. JUST STOP! harassing this man. I didn't want to understand her insanity especially since, her world is full of men professing their undying love for her. I felt emotional but found it difficult to shed any tears for her; until the rich advice of her eloquent mother came forth. It was only then her character really started to unfold for me. Jasmine is an intriguing and interesting character, because she wasn't afraid or ashamed of showing all aspects of herself. (The good, the bad and all the ugly) She carried out the meaning of her love for Nick in all its forms--from her selfish perspective. Her antics kept me griped to an almost (I thought) anti-climatic end--where I assumed the obvious, however the conclusion to this emotional journey left me gob smacked and moved beyond all my imaginings. I DO was well executed right down to the last word, therefore, worth the wait and the read to the very end--if only to discover what a great and comforting conclusion transpired. Very Smart! A fabulous read!
