DESCRIPTION:
Not Knowing Jack is her tenth book.. About the AuthorK.A. Mitchell discovered the magic of writing at an early age when she learned that a carefully crayoned note of apology sent to the kitchen in a toy truck would earn her a reprieve from banishment to her room. Her career as a spin control artist was cut short when her family moved to a two-story house, and her trucks would not roll safely down the stairs. An unnamed number of years later, she's happy to find other readers and writers who like to play in her world. Around the same time, she decided that Chip and Ken made a much cuter couple than Ken and Barbie and was perplexed when invitations to play Barbie dropped off
Tony indeed finds that Jack isn’t the man he went looking for, but it’s too late. When your lover becomes a stranger, trust is the weakest link of all. Bartender Tony Gemetti has it all: a rich, hot boyfriend, a McMansion in the ’burbs and unlimited sex in an expectation-free zone. There’s too much at stake to just walk away. Neither the author nor the publisher is responsible for any sudden or frequent urges to have children with Tony Gemetti. With Tony, he finally knows real freedom, real happiness. Jack’s sure of it. Suddenly the past shows up in a completely unexpected way, testing the boundaries of their old, coasting-along-on-fun relationship. First, though, he has to make sure there are no lies left for Jack to hide behind. Warning: Readers should be free of any heart condition that may be affected by a hero with an overactive imagination, painful back stories, and hot sex in a variety of athletic positions. Realizing he has more than his libido and enough drawers for his T-shirt collection riding on this relationship, Tony figures it’s time to find out what’s going on. Jack Noble has spent his life hiding his real self behind a carefully created image. . Now a past of buried secrets and lies is closing in, an
Amazon Customer said Just loved it. I have come to just love Ms. Mitchell's work (her characters are always so wonderfully funny / brave / REAL for me) and I knew I would enjoy this book even though I wasn't so sure about the plot, just based upon the Amazon blurb. Normally, I really enjoy the thrill of reading about characters meeting for the first time, of recognizing that flare of attraction, of seeing characters realize they care for each other deeply. So I actually wasn't sure about a story where all of that has already happened before we get on the scene.And in fact, when Not Knowing Jack starts, Tony and Jack are already a coupl. amf0001 said Not quite knowing what to make of it.

She writes well, and I enjoy her books, but I had a problem with this one.Spoilers you were warned.I found Jack's actions unacceptable. I can understand, a little, why he was so freaked, but as parent, I cannot accept his total dereliction of duty towards his fragile children. The fact that he thought his in laws (the ones who raised his crazy wife!) were taking care of it all was no excuse. I would have given them a bit of time and then written to them daily.

VERY solid storyline about Jack and Tony who have been together for a while. Tony notices Jack's less than honest effort to be "straightforward" when asked about his past, and calls Jack on it. To be quite honest, Jack was an a$$ and I thought Tony was WAY TOO lenient with Jack's habit of keeping secrets. Jack knew everything about Tony, yet Tony had no clue about Jack's past. (Now I know you don't need to know EVERY, SINGLE detail your partner's past, but come on!!!) Tony tolerated way too much, but I understand he was REALLY trying to salvage his relationship with Jack. Yeah, when you love someone,
