An Uncommon Bond

This is a cheesy romance novel you can read for a good laugh, not for insight. I got this book because of the false advertising of it that was done on social media. I read an Inspiring quote from the book that applied to life and relationships on Jeffs social media. Inspiration and great writing was what I was hoping for when I got the book and it was anything but inspiring.. perverse is a better word to describe the book. Selling Infatuation... (the kind where people know nothing about each other and are thrown into chapters worth of unnecessarily descriptive sex ). ..as sacred is dangerous. For a romance novel, that makes sense but not in the realm of spirituality. Placing Fabio on the cover of this book would have helped me save money so I knew what I was purchasing. I’m appalled that the book markets to a spiritual community where the only thing remotely spiritual about the book was calling the characters’ sexual organs Godly. And even going as far as having the characters worshiping each other as though they are gods. That’s the last kind of love I would wish on anyone. Unhealthy, unrealistic, ungrounded. Will be returning.

The author is good at thoughtful phrasing and thought-provoking "snippets" of thought but is not a story teller. The pacing and character development were "off"; it was as if he was trying to "re-tell" a personal story and hurry things along too quickly. The characters flip flopped from being incredibly flawed in a believe-able way and relatable to being incredibly un-likable and lacking any dimension. substance, or backstory. And, while the divine feminine is beautiful and erotic inherently, the author's discriptions of physical intimacy were overthought and descriptive to the point of being unrealistic and seemingly scripted to make a point versus feeling authentic to the narrative. The only reason I gave it 3 starts vs. 2 was because, again the "snippets" of wisdom and observation sprinkled throughout were thought provoking. A list of quotes would've sufficed better than a forced narrative...

Maybe it's because I listened to it, and didn't read it myself. I found the main character to be a bit pathetic, and he kind of went on and on and on. I would not recommend this book.

I purchased this book in response to a Facebook Ad that included a very nice quote from the book. I thought, Hey it's a little pricier than I like at $11 for an e-book, but that quote looked really good...The story may be good, and there may be great insights in it, however the beginning was told almost entirely in exposition. I couldn't force myself to read past the first 10% of it, so I don't know if the storytelling got any better.

I was hoping this would be more of a realistic story. But it's a bit too cheesy for me, and hard to swallow.

It is a juvenile read at best. The puns get annoying after the first few chapters and the book ends very predictably. I fell for the purchase after reading positive reviews on Facebook but this doesn't measure up at all.

This is the most inspiring love story novel I've ever read. In a way it is based less on an external story, and more on being in the heart of transformation itself. This is for those who fancy relationship as a catalyst for awakening, for those yearn to access the divine through another, and for those who want more 'God' than can be found on a solitary journey or by being alone on a meditation cushion. Perhaps the writing itself would not highly impress a classical literary connoisseur, but it's not meant to... this is a work from the heart, attempting to put into words the wordless experiences of souls meeting, to convey the inner ecstasies and challenges in a kind of relating that invites all-of-each-other to show up, including shadow realms...Ultimately I saw much of my own life story and loves reflected in this book in ways I've not seen anywhere else. I find the book helped me find greater clarity around my own joys and sorrows and the mysteries underneath them, and has me feel a greater gratitude for all of it.If you want to find some inspiration and some reality checks for what's possible in a great love, read this book.

I really was looking forward to reading this one, but I couldn’t get past even the first few chapters. Brown is not a smooth storyteller. From the pretentious tone to the horrible puns and continuity issues- do yourself a favor and skip this over-dramatic, self-important drivel.

Difficult to convey in earth words the effect this brave and raw expression of love/the human experience has had within me and assisted my own processing of an uncommon bond... I laughed, cried (for me/those I have loved/mankind/for experience I remember and I others I don't consciously but felt the truth of this writing awakened within me) and I know myself more compassionately now. I am beyond grateful to author Jeff Brown for bolding sharing the most intimate of inner world journeys and the space it seems to effortlessly hold for the reader to safely process and understand their own path. This book is not for the faint hearted, but then neither is finding your path and having the courage to walk it.

Wonderful book that in its groundedness offers a some lifesaving pointers to navigating the intensity of conscious relationship. Jeff writes as only one who has been through the alchemical fires of Sacred relationship can. Framed as fiction, the book embraces evolving consciousness through this pathway and the very real human challenges and invitations of fully engaging in awakened Love. A great read, full of Life, truth and real, awakened Love.

Beautifully written. Joys and the struggles of twin flame love. Magically poetic, the yearning for deep soul connection. Extraordinary love, nothing less will do.

This book sings straight into the depths of my softest heart. Sacred and beautiful - dismantling the shield one sentence at the time.

great writing
