Three Empty Words Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

Melanie Smith has spent her entire life waiting for her happy ever after. For a moment there, everything is hunky-dory until her boyfriend falls in love with another man. Trying to move on, she makes every effort to find "the one."

Watching everyone around her find love, leaving her knee-deep in spinster status, Melanie decides on a new path: become a surrogate for her ex-turned-best friend. She doesn't bargain on a two-for-one deal: a baby for bestie... and a new man.

Join Melanie on her journey as she navigates the highs and lows, the cravings and confusion of love and trying to find meaning in those three empty words.

    Melanie has the worst luck with men. Her best friend, who is her gay ex-boyfriend, asks her to be a surrogate for him and his husband.
    While in the process for surrogacy, Mel meets Ashe, her brand new and gorgeous gynocologist.
    He is 32 and has an ex-wife , a meddling mother who believes she knows what her son wants and is afraid to blackmail him into doing what she wants.

    This book is hilarious while also touching on some issues which may be a trigger for someone.
    I really liked Ashe and Mel's book and cannot wait to read what comes next.

    So much love for this story! I want to say it's my favorite by this author, but I say that about all of hers that I've read because they're all that good. I can't decide if I prefer her dark romances like the Masterpiece series or these lighter romances more! I can easily say Melanie is my favorite lead female in a book. Her way of saying what's on her mind without thinking about it, her unique way with words, and the way she manages to forgive and bring people together...she's awesome. Her beau (I'm not going to use his name since it's not in the blurb) ...there aren't enough swoon-worthy words to say about him. But I am a sucker for a good guy with a naughty side and that is what he is pure and simple. Definitely was a interesting meet-cute between Melanie and her dream man! So many memorable scenes, Brad's first words during Melanie's labor, priceless! Also Magical unicorns will never have the same meaning for me after reading this! A well written, thoroughly entertaining story!

    Mel is such an amazing character and the way this book grabs you just sucks you right into their world. I hope that I'm able to stand up for my beliefs and be like Mel letting the world in and giving way more than I'll ever get. This is about the connection that's so deep in two people and it's truly inspiring!! Beautiful read, love your words Gen Ryan!!

    Gah! So fabulous! Love love loved this story!

    When did you you know you loved her?

    “When nothing else mattered.”

    I love this line in Gen Ryan’s book, Three Empty Words, because just like this phrase, our lead female lives her life without fear, with a heart full of love. She’s open, honest, a little crass, and can swear like a sailor, but I seriously love her character.

    This story never gets old, because it’s about love, yes, but also because there are so many moments of feel-good joy, tears, laughter, and growth

    Loved, loved, LOVED this book! I started reading it on my lunch break and literally choked on my sandwich when Melanie and Ashe met. Gen had me laughing out lout and nearly crying throughout this story. Melanie was easy to love especially with her sass and caring nature. Cannot say enough about my love for this book. OH, and Ashe can be my gyno any day ;)

    This was a cute story with little to no angst. I really liked the story line but I had a problem with everything being to perfect. Melanie was way to perfect and unbelievable. I get helping your ex and his new love become parents and thought that was sweet but then you and the EX wife are besties and the horrible parents instantly love you after one lunch date. I know it's fiction but come no one life is wrapped up that nicely.
