This is the first book I have read from this author and I’m so glad I read it. It has been a while since I have read a true love story in a long time and this story exceeded all my expectations. I could not put this book down until I was finished. These ladies drew me right from the start. It only took me a few hours to devour this epic love story.

Leo knows the right woman is out there but he is so busy with his career right now. He is an award winning game entrepreneur and he loves it. Leo is shocked when he finds a connection with not just one woman but three. These women are all special in their own way but which one is his one. He decides to go on dates in November to decide who he wants to be his wife. Will Leo find his one or will he find himself still single?

Based on a true story, the author has drawn us into his life and is showing us a venerable side of himself. This book brings us into his relationships with three different women who are more flawed than he thinks he is.

You will definitely follow through the highs and lows, the happy, sad and anger filled moments. You will experience all of this and more.

This is my first book by this author, and I didn’t find myself disappointed with this book! To me this was a fast paced read and was filled with tons of emotions. This was based on a true story, and was overall a well written story. I enjoyed the amount of detail each character had and how the author brought the story to life with the turn of each page. We are introduced to a man named Leo who is trying to find love after his divorce. He finds that trying to balance life with 3 children and looking for love might not be all it’s been cracked up to be! He finds himself being surrounded after one disastrous woman after another! But the month of November rolls around, and Leo finds that he is introduced to 3 different women who might have the capability to alter his life for good! I enjoyed the emotion, laughter and overall world that has been brought to us by the author. This book was a great read that was hard to put down once I started it! I definitely recommend reading this book!

I almost passed this book up as it didn’t seem like it was in my normal wheelhouse, but I’m glad I decided to take a chance on it. Jim Shomos takes us through this timeline of what feels like “right person, wrong time” over and over again. Some may find it a little immature to try finding love repeatedly if you have unresolved issues, but I think it’s heartwarming to see someone who takes chances for true love. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as you are invested in Leo and his pursuit of happiness. You feel a stab each time something doesn’t work out, and relentless hope for just one stroke of serendipity. I really enjoyed reading this and taking the journey alongside Leo.

Three Women in November is based on a true story of a divorced dad of boys living in Australia who decides to move on and find love. Leo is a bit of a romantic with old-fashioned ideas about love, dating, and romance. In his quest for love he meets three very different women with different backgrounds that capture his attention.

Leo meets Zoya on a business trip and likes her, so he pursues a relationship with her. The chemistry is there between them, but Zoya tends to lash out in anger at odd times. They decide the relationship will not work and call it quits. She does let him know that his scars will never heal unless he works on them.

Leo finds himself single and talking to his counsellor who he develops an attraction to, but he is her patient. They do try a relationship, but it does not work out. Aysha tells him that he needs to learn to love himself or a relationship will never work.

Then Leo meets Jade who is in a flailing marriage and must put the needs of her children first. She is trying to find her way after her marriage ends and must wait until her son finishes school in November.

This was an interesting story and I enjoyed how the pursuit of love and a soulmate was told from the male’s point of view. I found it unique and refreshing that a man like Leo could be old-fashioned and a true romantic at heart. Leo met three very different women who all had their own issues and baggage, yet they all had things in common. Each of these women have unresolved issues and emotional scars. Each woman makes him wait to have a normal and healthy relationship. Each woman’s deadlines for love have Leo waiting until November. Each woman tells him that he needs to work on himself before he can have a healthy relationship. This is so true, and I feel that most of us can relate to how broken and unlovable we feel after coming out of a bad relationship. We cannot truly love another unless we learn to love ourselves first. This book was a great read that shows us how vulnerable men can also feel while seeking love. It was a light hearted, emotional, witty, raw, and real look at love, dating, and relationships.

Three Women in November
By: Jim Shomos

This book is based on a true story. I loved how it was told from the male’s perspective. He is trying his best to find love again. However, as he does he is encounters three women who definitely each have their flaws. I really enjoyed how each of the characters had their own problems and each was flawed in their own ways. I think it definitely is a more accurate perception of dating in the real world than is usually shown in stories. I think that the characters were well developed and the story definitely kept me wanting to read. I definitely enjoyed this one!

An enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance which is based on a true story. The storyline is told from Leo’s perspective as he goes on a journey looking for love. Leo, an award winning mobile games pioneer is also a romantic, and he’s looking for his soulmate. However, each of the three women that he has a deep connection with over a three year time period, have their own reasons for not having a relationship. Zoya, is an ambitious CEO of a government new-media agency who just does not have love on her agenda. Sought after psychotherapist Aysha has never fallen for a client and is reluctant to break her own rule. Global academic and past rock chick Jade gave up on love after her recent marriage broke down.
One after the other the three high achieving women push Leo away, but their self imposed deadlines all fall in the same month, resulting in Leo having a date with three women in November! It’s refreshing to read a romance from the males point of view, and I found Leo to be a likeable and relatable guy, who was just looking for love. I was fully immersed in the story which was lighthearted at times, with some laugh out loud moments and then fairly emotional at other times. An intriguing and engaging read, and one which kept me captivated throughout.

I enjoyed this story of finding romance. The fast it is based around true events really brought the story to life. You can’t help for feel for Leo as he searches for that special someone. He’s an old fashioned romantic which was nice and refreshing to read about. The problem is the women Leo is attracted to and feels a connection with all have their own problems and issues to deal with. His connection with all 3 women is unique and special however at the time he meets them a relationship is the last thing any of them want.
As time progresses Leo doesn’t give up hope of finding love but what happens when the 3 women he is attracted to all become free and more open to him romantically at the same time.
Is this destiny’s way of rewarding Leo for believing in love and not giving up hope?
It is a very moving story with moments that make you laugh out loud. The 3 women are all unique and different and each one is dealing with different issues in their own way.
It was refreshing to read a romance from a males perspective and I liked how the author showed us every side of Leo’s character from his love of romance to his unmoving stubbornness. It showed that no matter what we may think no one is perfect.

This is an interesting story about a man on a mission to find love and the three women he is interested in. I enjoyed this story because it is based in true life and I found this added an extra level of detail to the story. Although the book is well developed and thought through, I found it to also be quite fast paced, which I hadn’t expected.
Overall I think this is a good story. I didn’t fully connect with all the characters but I appreciated how they were interwoven and added to the story. This was an enjoyable read and has piqued my interest enough to read more from this author.

Everyone wants to find “the one”. That one special person to share everything with. The one that your heart and mind connects with. In this story, Leo is lucky enough to find that feeling with three different women. Sadly, though these women all have personal matters that need to be dealt with in their lives and for whatever reasons they feel Leo can’t be a part of those situations. Leo though doesn’t give up on love and in the end gets his happily ever after.

This author writes with an easy to follow flow allowing the story to progress naturally. Will read more by this author.

Three Women in November by Jim Shomos. This is such a great romance and very different from any I’ve read. Its actually based on a true story of a divorced man with 3 boys who lives in Australia. He finally has decided to find love and move on with his his life. He meets Zoya on a business trip and is immediately infatuated with her. She is not into Leo as much as he’s into her so after a bit they decide to call it quits. Next he meets Aysha who is his therapist and everyone knows that’s not a good idea. She lets him know that he doesn’t love himself and that is why he can’t love anyone else. She helps him to see that unhealed scars leak over to all your relationships if you don’t heal. He starts to think she might be the one but due to client/therapist rules they can’t date. Next we meet Jade who is in the same line of work as him. Jade is still in her marriage but it is not going to make it. She has all kinds of baggage and looking to change herself to move on. All of these women have one thing in common, telling Leo he’s not ready for a relationship so Leo realizes maybe he needs to work on himself first before starting a new relationship. This book was so fun and a lot different than most romances so I truly enjoyed it.

This is a based-on-a-true-story of the author’s quest to find love. He’s a divorced dad of boys who lives in Austrailia and he’s ready to move on with his life.

He first meets Zoya, who is a super ambitious business woman. She’s a bit crazy though and has bouts of anger and lashes out at the weirdest of times. Zoya and Leo have good chemistry, until everything blows up and Zoya admits a huge goal that does not interest Leo.

Next is Aysha. She’s a therapist and there is an ethical dilemma with them forming a relationship. However, after the pre-determined time passes, they are free to do whatever they wish.

Last is Jade. She’s still trying to recover from a failed marriage and treading a new pathway for herself. Her kids need to come first and then there’s the semi-ex-husband, who seems to keep popping up.

This book just wasn’t for me. I felt this was really superficial and almost like a bad high school play. I think Leo’s only redeeming grace in this story is his love for music and poetry. He seems like a real romantic but it had a feel to it that just didn’t attract me to this story at all.

Meet Leo, a divorced man with 3 children, who under no circumstances considered taking therapy before engaging in his next relationship. He is a kind of normal type of guy, his work is to develop ideas for cellphone video games; but to his heart poems and music is what his soul is meant to make. 

 

Such is the case that he meets Zoya on a business trip and becomes infatuated with her. After a long insistence on his part she allows the situationship to kind of develop, always showing him little of her true nature.

He puts a quite effort in order to have a real relationship with her, but due to life this is not enough for her, and so they give themselves a break.

 

During the break Leo finally considers going to therapy, only because the obnoxious woman let him know how unhealed scars never close, and there is where he meets Aysha. Now this woman is his therapist and she helps him to better understand the lack of self love towards himself, and how to manage his emotions without being a dummy. They have a conflict of interest and cannot get into a relationship due to the professional one they are having, so they too put on hold the possibility. 

 

Aaannd during that time he meets Jade, another woman who is in his line of work, kind of, but she is still married and has not taken the corresponding steps in order to be able to have a new relationship, although she wants to. 

 

Now he has 3 different women, all of them with issues unresolved, making him wait in order to be an adult and have a relationship.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. This is a well written story that has a lot of emotion including funny parts. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the story come to life on each page. This is a story about three women and a man. A story of a man who just keeps getting hit with disastrous women, one after the other. But what will happen in November and what fate has instored for these characters are something you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how connectable the characters are. They brought laughter and other emotions to the story. They made it easy to read and made it hard to put down. They made the story for me, for sure. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

Emotional and romantic
Three Women in November is a brilliant romance which has such a range of emotions. From the funny highs to the raw painful lows this story had me glued. Leo’s quest for love is an original tale, as he plays his hand with three strong and successful women. Based in Australia I thoroughly enjoyed this. Recommend.

Three Women in November by Jim Shomos is an entertaining read full of all the clever touches I have come to expect from this fabulous author. That it’s based on a true story gives it an extra element of interest for me.
Full of emotion, this story gives us a window into modern romantic Leo’s quest for love and the three strong, independent, and high achieving women that he connects with. With plenty of challenges, angst, highs and lows, chemistry, choices, humour, and drama- while being told from a male perspective, really gave it complexity and ‘character’, and made for a lovely and engrossing read.
Looking forward to exploring more of Mr. Shomos work.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Jim Shomos!

My favourite quote from the book. “Don’t go alpha-male-diva on me.”
Three Women in November is a wonderful romantic tale based on a true story. It is a very emotional and funny read and yet it is very confronting as everything is put on the line for the name of love. Jim is a brave man to turn his life into a story.
I loved that the story was set in Australia. It made it seem more real as it’s easy to visualise the places.
It is a unique and raw look into one man Leo and three very successful women on a search for love. It was interesting to read as it was told in the male perspective. The characters are real, complex, have heaps of baggage and make plenty of mistakes.
The challenge, the pain, the joy, the drama and the humour as we follow along on this journey.
Leo is a man who knows what he wants. He knows the world would not give him anything but a soul mate. Unfortunately, life is not that simplistic. The road to love is not paved with gold.
I look forward to Leo’s next romantic adventure in, Kissing Scars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Robbie is faced with the task of helping Annie and Cat run a public song writing contest. A challenge that he is up for as far as working with Annie because Robbie thinks they will become romantically involved. On the other hand, the thought of working with Cat terrifies him. Annie is on the verge of relaunching her singing career after taking time off to raise her son. She has been raising her eight-year-old son alone since her ex-lover/manager fled the country nine years ago. Suddenly her ex is back and wants joint custody of their son.

The author has done a wonderful job of portraying the hard work, dedication, and determination that goes into having a successful music career. It is like having a behind the scenes look at the music industry and experiencing the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into running a successful music business. The characters were a blend of personalities that somehow worked together and were relatable. Some moments were tense, some moments were emotional, and some moments left you singing along to the tune you could not help but sing inside your head. An enjoyable read.

Music, a balm for the soul
This book is a multilayered melody with emotion-filled undertones. The story follows Cat, Annie and Robbie as they navigate the music industry that is Merger Music. They all have secrets and need to resolve and the author brilliant,y executes this while wrapping the reader in a blanket of tunes. There is a good balance between the drama and the banter and the characters are well developed and easy to relate to. An entertaining and enjoyable read.

Jim Shomos is a first time author for me, but the story sounded interesting. I was not disappointed. From the name of the book, More Text Than Sex, I was expecting a slightly shallow, fluffier piece; what I got was so much more! There are so many wonderfully realistic and well-developed characters that I couldn’t help but cry when things were going poorly and cheer when things went well. Not only were the characters deep, there was so much to the storyline. Although there is a lot of information to this book, it is easy to follow, with great world building. There is music, dancing, sex, family, friendship, and so much more. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs a good book full of humor, wit, and lots of emotions.

More Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos. This was a really good contemporary romance. It’s the story of Annie who is working for a struggling music company so she and her co worker Cat come up with an idea for a song writing contest. To allow them to hold the contest the boss makes them work with Robbie who is a marketing guy with the company. Annie is going thru a through divorce along with a bad custody battle for her son so she is throwing her self into this contest. Annie is also a singer but while married to her abusive ex, he didn’t allow her to pursue that avenue. Cat is a rough around the edges kind of gal and she scares Robbie to death. Robbie is excited about this contest because he has the biggest crush on Annie and thinks working with her on this contest he will win her over. This is a slow burn romance and it is great. The characters feel like your friends by the time you are finished and you are rooting for them all.

I had a difficult time getting started with this book, but it was worth sticking with it. The dynamics between all the characters was great from the get go. Love that I got to experience some frustration and drama between the different characters personalities as they each are trying to navigate their way through the music industry. I enjoyed that we got all three perspectives throughout this book.

This author really brought a beautiful story to life. I felt so much as I read, the want to change our current living, but finding the path to do so, was the true challenge. Moving and inspirational read!

Peggy was such a great character and I was able not only to relate to her, but feel for her as well. She had grief, and I mean a lot within her time, and now her kids had gotten their own wings, she wanted to find hers. Doing so, took ambition, blood , sweat, and tears. Peggy had a lot of guilt as I said, its more than just that. The fears and issues she had to work through is something we all as we get older, may undergo one way or another. Not having someone (kids went off to college) a big one for me, not being enough. I found the book very light hearted and inspiring. Peggy and surrounding charters made the story very realistic, and beautiful i many ways. I truly felt for this story and Peggy, and loved the story with all my soul!

Absolutely loved this wonderful author. And the way they did their writing as well. I was very happy and impressed with this story! Loved it! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

This was an interesting story to read and I love how the you feel the presence of music and lyrics all through the book.
It is a romance build around a music studio and all the goings on that happen there but at the same time there are also other little stories running alongside and it all joins together beautifully.

I really love Annie’s character. She is a very strong and determined woman. She has a passion for music and a talent for singing which her ex husband tried to stop but in this story she is trying to make her comeback all while organising a songwriting contest with 2 people who hate each other and fighting her ex husband for custody of their son. These sides of Annie really help to show her as a real person and not just a character in a story.

The romance between her and Robbie is a very slow burner but it’s beautiful to see and read. I loved Robbie’s character but I feel he needed a bit more backbone especially around Cat. Cat terrifies him lol.

But these 3 people need to work together to make this songwriting contest a success but will that be easy with all the other things and situations happening around them?
