This is a complex story about family and love. Annie is a well developed character in that she has had a tough childhood but she has become a successful woman. Marisa is her best friend and is like a sister to her. Marisa's father Larry has treated Annie like a daughter. Dave is Marisa's husband and while he understands Annie needs Marisa, he wants her to find her own life. The story starts with Marisa and Dave on vacation in Hawaii and Marisa finding a man that was the girls' crush in high school. Annie goes to Hawaii to prevent her best friend from doing something crazy. The plot continues to twist and turn and thicken. It is well qritten and flows very well. Aubree Lane has written a unique story about the meaning of family and the lengths one will go to for their family members. I really enjoyed this book. It is a must read. Aubree Lane is a talented story teller.

I just finished reading Early One Morning. It is a book written by Aubree Lane. Two girls find themselves meeting a man they daydreamed over when they were teenagers. One of them winds up hooking up with him. They both find themselves helping him through a major custody battle that has more surprising twists than anyone could imagine. Will he get to keep his daughter and the woman of his dreams or will he lose them both?
I really enjoyed this book. I tend to like books that have many dramatic twists in them. I feel they keep a person on their toes. It’s one of my favorite types of things I enjoy when reading. Don’t get me wrong, I can do without it in a book. I’m just saying it helps keep my attention. I have to give the author major points for all the curve balls that she pitched during this book. I didn’t expect most of the things that happened until they happened. In fact, I found myself many times wondering what was going to happen next.
I have to be honest, when I first started this book, I didn’t think I would like it very much. In fact, I didn’t really get fully into it until the second chapter. After that, I got more and more sucked in. It grabbed more and more of my attention. I find myself glad that I didn’t set this book down like my initial intention was. I’m glad that I decided to stick it out and give it a chance.
I fully recommend this book. I’m very glad that I took the time to read it. This is definitely a romantic suspense that many romantic book lovers can sink their teeth into. I can’t wait to get ahold of the sequel to the book, Late One Night. It seems like a very interesting story. I guess I’ll have to wait and see!

From giggly high school crushes to backstabbing teen drama and more, Aubree Lane takes us through a thirteen year journey through the lives of a group of “friends” who turn out to be enemies who eventually turn out to be family. I found myself transported into the thick of the story equating these characters with people I know who have faced similar if not the same situations.
Early One Morning is masterfully written with many story lines that have been woven into one extremely dysfunctional group of individuals. There are moments where you are jaw-dropping surprised to ones where you are so angry you want to throw the book on the coffee table. One thing is certain, you won’t be able to stop reading once you begin.
Grab a banana split with lots of chocolate sauce because you will need every bite as you work your way through this fascinating story that takes place in two states I hope to someday visit…California and Hawaii. Good job, Ms. Lane! Good job!

Wow - so many twists and turns I never had a clue whose side anyone was on!
Annie Harper has flown to Hawaii after her best friend Marissa Crandall said she saw their secret crush Terence Javier there. Once there she realizes that Terence is more than she could have imagined and the two begin a relationship. In Hawaii Annie meets Terence's daughter Erika, whose mother, Hannah, was once close friends with Annie and Terence wants to keep Erika. But life's not that simple and soon they discover that each of their lives, and the lives of their friends and past relationships are so intertwined that alliances are made and broken and no one is sure who they can trust.
This book was great and kept me at the edge of my seat as I never knew who I could trust. I really liked Annie but found she was so confused due to not having a proper childhood with her own mother that she in turn had so many doubts about herself. Growing up with Marissa's family she felt as though she had a new family, but it never felt as secure as she would have liked.
I loved Terence and found he was so innocent through everything and was kept in the dark way too much. I was blown away by his devotion to both Erika and Annie and that all he truly wanted was a family that he could love and devote himself to.
For the most part the rest of the characters I had love/hate relationships with, as I'm sure the author was counting on. I went from liking them to hating them and back to liking them and I never had a clue what was going to happen next!
Such a great job with the book and I can't wait to read more!

When Annie Harper’s best friend Marissa calls her from Oahu to tell her that she has found their high school crush while on vacation, Annie heads to the island post haste to keep her friend from doing something stupid. Little does Annie know that it is a decision that will change his life and force her to confront her worst insecurities. If they can keep it together, the future is looking to be a happy one.
This was not a typical “Love” story. Sure it has all the elements of love at first sight, awkward misunderstandings and great sex, but there is nothing shallow or syrupy about it. This is the story about the love of family, the one you are born to and the ones who choose to be in your life. The characters are what drives this story. They leap off the page and shine in such grand detail that they are almost more interesting than the main story. You actually feel like part of the family, any of the families in this story. Intricate little plot twists keep the story fresh and compelling. It was a read ‘til you finish kind of book. Written with emotion and heart, it is sure to appeal to that hopeless romantic in all of us.
