Love & War

Jay Thomas plays Jack Stein a major columnist for the Times. He falls for the head chef played in Season One by Susan Dey. Things do work out well between them at all and by Season Two she ran off. Annie Potts replaces her as the new chef Dana fresh from Italy where she has been living a free and fun life. This time total opposites Jack and Dana butt heads but fall for each other big time. Just before they were to get married, the show was cancelled by CBS during the Third Season and the writers had her deported her to Italy!

The BEST thing about this show has always been the wonderful supporting characters. Even in the first season when the leads were wondering around lost in some funk, the supporting actors keep the show together and made it worth watching. John Hancock played the Blue Shamrock owner until he died at the end of season one. So well loved by the cast and crew his picture was placed on the wall behind the bar after his death. Joel Murray played lovable Ray the garbage man. Michael Nouri played Kip a self centered actor who acts as if he's a big star though he is not. She is my favorite and gives the best zingers.

If they ever show this in reruns somewhere give it a try. I think you will enjoy it. Start your free trial.

Other comedic elements include the The names and places and some historical fact such as that may be accurate, but everything else was just a bunch of juvenile Hamilton fan fiction.

So much of it felt either too modern, trying too hard, and just too tween-ish for such important figures. I really Well this was just paaaaaainful for me. I really just didn't like any character or the over dramatization. I will not be reading the final book.

May 23, Mrs Mommy Booknerd http: This book is fantastic. It was one of those books that I was not sure what to expect and adored it cover to cover. I loved that there was history mixed into the story in such a way that makes history come alive. The love story is so compelling and the book was nearly impossible to put down. I love that is challenges the reader because you are feeling everything with the characters, you are on the journey with them.

A delight and the best type of book for book clubs and summer! Aug 24, Peyton rated it really liked it Shelves: While not the most historically accurate, it was interesting and made me excited for the next book and seeing Hamilton in October. Apr 17, Heather Hughes rated it it was amazing. Yes, shame on me. So, this series is initially my first encounter with any kind of Alexander Hamilton history Obviously, I had to get used to the timeline and dialogue style.

I really got into the story of Alexander and Elizabeth, so I was naturally excited to read this second installment. Obviously, I did look up a little research on their marriage and learned interesting things. I was wondering if it might be included in this story, considering the title itself. So, I do wonder if it may be included or if his mistress will be in the next story. This affair thing, though, is going to be forever in the back of my mind because I had no idea until after I looked it up.

It kind of harms what I initially to believed to be a perfect marriage. I mean, they both had immense love for each other, no doubt. So, Alex and Eliza have been married for a few months now. They still live with her family. However, we get a big time jump with some details as they move to New York when Alex finally leaves his Colonel life behind to become a lawyer. Sadly, life in New York seems to bring a struggle in their marriage.

Alex spends so much time in the office and gathering clients, leaving Eliza alone at home as she tries to make it an actual home for them.

The honeymoon stage has definitely gone away and they find it hard to work together and handle married life. Alex definitely becomes a workaholic. He wants to make a name for himself as a lawyer in New York, so he is trying to gather clients and work. Unfortunately, he is gathering loyalist clients and, right now, loyalists are considered to be tainted. Thankfully, Alex finds them as just people who need help. Ironically, Alex takes on a fictional client named Catherine Childress, a war widow of a loyalist.

She lost property and needs to help to make sure she can stay on her feet. You can take that irony and put it with that foreshadowing of what Alexander Hamilton allegedly did. While Alex is doing all that and burning the candle at night, Eliza is at home slowly making her way into high society. Melissa de la Cruz does make note in her book that she is aware, by this time in REAL history, Eliza was already a mother.

However, Melissa wanted to focus more on the trials and tribulations of the newlyweds first. I actually liked that there were no Hamilton children yet. It gave their relationship a modern outlook that readers will enjoy because, even back then, couples butted heads in the early stages of marriage. Boy, Eliza and Alex sure do butt heads. The downside was that he always thought kissing and sex would make up for it. I loved how grownup she was in this story.

In the first book, she still had that childish aspect to her. She wants to make a happy home and wants to have a family. Though she receives visits from her sisters and family in New York, the idea of being an independent woman away from her family suits her rather nicely. She definitely knows how to handle herself and how to stick up for her family, which happens a lot thanks for Governor George Clinton and his gross, obnoxious self.

I also want to mention that I enjoyed the sense of foreshadowing when it came to Alex and Aaron Burr. It happens at the end from dialogue. So, it does make me wonder how long this series will go on. If anybody knows how to accomplish that feat, please let me know because I have no idea.

Oct 30, Mary-Faith rated it liked it Shelves: I feel like the main point of this book was to change the setting of the story, as well as Alex and Eliza's general place in life him starting his law practice, them both being away from her family and becoming a bigger part of society.

I really liked the parts of the book that seemed to allude to future events mentions of Alex never amo 3. I really liked the parts of the book that seemed to allude to future events mentions of Alex never amounting to anything, which were basically hilarious; brief mentions of dueling, which felt very grim.

I also liked that this book had more basis in historical events and facts than the first. I love how, like with the first book, Melissa de la Cruz included an Author's Note and went over what was fact and what was fiction. And I love that, according to legend, it was my girl Peggy who confronted the Redcoats at the Schuyler mansion! One thing that really bothered me was the amount of typos. I might have been the only person who noticed this, or it might have just been my copy or something, but it was enough for me to notice and to start to feel annoying.

I didn't know there would be a third book, but I'm so happy there will be! I can't wait to read it! Jun 12, Aleya rated it really liked it Shelves: I enjoyed getting to listen to this twist on the Hamilton's lives. It was interesting reading a YA book about characters who are no longer the typical teenagers. Alex and Eliza in this are at least 19 or close to 20, as far as I could gather.
