The Reason Jude Exists Kindle Edition
‘Amy and my love story began when my first love story ended. What you’re about to read won’t be pretty, but it is an epic tale of love, personal growth, and the things in life that both get in the way and open the door to the best relationships of our lives.’
-Jude Kendrick
~~~
When Jude became a widower and a single dad aged just thirty-six his life went into a tailspin. Now he tells his unique and heart-wrenching story of how he navigated the complexities of falling in love again, overshadowed by grief and reluctant fatherhood.
Falling in love in your late thirties presents many challenges, not least because very few people get to this age without excess relationship baggage. Jude has more than his fair share with his dead wife and overflowing black book. Amy on the other hand, hasn't had children yet, and with the clock ticking, Jude is far from the right man for her to get involved with despite his overwhelming belief that he is.
Their story takes place in middle-class England where success is measured by impressive careers, beautiful homes, and fancy cars; yet everyone is failing miserably where it truly matters: at being happy.
With his heart on his sleeve and his ego in check, Jude takes a chance at happiness with Amy in the face of the external forces threatening to keep their love tantalisingly out of reach.

About the author

Hello! I write contemporary love stories that break the romance rules. If you want lots of twists and turns, tropes turned on their heads, and non-traditional happy ever afters, then I hope that you might find what you’re looking for in one of my books. Hearts get broken and put back together again, and not always in the way you’d expect. The characters are never perfect, but I hope you will laugh and cry along with them. If you want to get in touch with me, you can find me on Instagram or Threads @amorgan.author. I'd love to connect with you.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book was so great and not what I was expecting at all. I went from being so angry and frustrated with the main character to absolutely SOBBING at the end. Such a great read!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024Format: KindleNot all stories are simple, and Jude's definitely isn't. The writing prowess of A. Morgan is evident, and for that I easily rate TRJE 5 stars. This is a love story with depth and heart. You will feel everything there is to feel as you read Jude's story.
Jude is flawed and I imagine, relatable to many. I did not always love him, but then again, he didn't always love himself. In TRJE there are many heavy themes - definitely check the content warnings before reading. The story is well-written, but the reader must be in the right mood to receive TRJE
TRJE is a love story, and it's not a simple one filled exclusively with spice. There are spicy scenes, yes, but they were not the central focus of the story. If you read exclusively for low-conflict and coziness, this isn't the love story to read. Be prepared to really think and feel the depths of the human condition before you approach TRJE.
The Reason Jude Exists was an excellent debut from a highly skilled author! I think TRJE will speak to the people who desperately need to see a very real, complex love story represented.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024Format: KindleThis is such a beautiful love story . The book takes us on a journey as Jude navigates his life dealing with a traumatic experience. I loved following Jude's story as he is a mess in the beginning but he grows alot during the story with Amy's love and honesty but he doesn't become perfect. The book is realistic , heartbreaking, charming and everything in between. The romance between Jude and Amy felt like something out of a movie and their constant fight to be together had me on the edge of my seat . I liked the more simple writing style as it helped in creating the strong voice the book has. Everything line and dialogue of Jude gave us a strong impression into his character and personality. In general, the dialogue felt very natural and realistic.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024Format: KindleOh my heart 💔 this book is healing, heartbreaking, and has an HEA that no one expected. It reminds me of the first time I read Nicholas Sparks
Jude is a character so full of flaws and life that he steps off the page. Amy is so broken but trying so hard that you could hug her. This book is full of twists, turns, and suffering with so much love
I'm speechless
