BLURB.

Anika Jones has her future carefully plotted out and is checking the boxes, one by one, despite the bumps thrown in her path. This last one is a challenge, but she manages to stay on track; her salon is thriving, and she just bought a house. Unfortunately, when one of her employees runs into trouble, she inevitably gets sucked in, throwing her carefully paced life off-balance. It doesn’t help a friend, who’s been ghosting her for a year, suddenly makes an appearance.

He was born to pig farming, but for Noah (Hog) Hodgekins fighting fires is his calling. He wasted too many years honoring a legacy he wants no part of. But now that he’s finally free from family obligations, there’s nothing holding him back from pursuing the life he’s been dreaming of. The first step is mending bridges with the one person who is central to that future, but she comes with her own challenges, family and otherwise.

Instead of treading carefully to gain her heart, he ends up throwing caution to the wind when her recent string of bad luck lands the FBI on her doorstep.

Christopher

I came from the biggest hockey family in the NHL.

Records were set by my grandfather, my father, and now my brother.

I was taught to love the game, but more than that, I learned early the men you play with are your family.

You get on the ice every night and protect them, celebrate the wins, and pick each other up when you fall.

So when we lost Benji, I stepped in to help his wife and kids, but this pull I feel when it comes to them is something more than I can even understand.

Dakota

My life was perfect, until it wasn’t.

Gone was the husband I thought I knew and in his place was a stranger.

I saw him change before my eyes.

Then he was gone, leaving me and our girls alone.

I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything that took him away from me.

But no matter how many times I’ve told his best friend I don’t need help.

He’s here doing things for us, and the worst part is, I want him to.

Wrenley

When my grandmother asked me to run her bed-and-breakfast while she took a three-month vacation, I should’ve said no.

Now I’m stuck in this godforsaken town hours away from the pampered life I live in New York City.

Gone are my days filled with luxury and glamour. I’ve been reduced to being domesticated.

What can possibly go wrong?

Decker Black, that’s what.

He walks into my life—more like breaks in, but whatever—and immediately irritates the hell out of me.

I can’t stand him. He’s moody, grumpy, and surly all rolled into one annoyed glare.

Until one severe storm changes everything.

I never could’ve imagined a slower, simpler life was everything I was missing.

Unfortunately, my home is in New York and my heart is stuck in Alabama.

Decker

My life is quiet and calm. Just how I like it.

Until Wrenley comes barreling in out of nowhere and disrupts everything.

Gone are my days of balance and routine. She brings turbulence and chaos.

She’s quick-tempered with a bold mouth full of sharp jabs and is entirely ungrateful.

She’s a headache, and I’m ready for her to go back to where she came from.

So why can’t I stay away from her?

The more time we spend alone, the more I realize underneath all the anger is something beautiful.

And I like it. I like her.

I never thought love and happiness was missing in my life.

Unfortunately, my small town no longer has everything I need.

It doesn’t have her.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

When a squirrel chews its way through my bedroom wall, I do the first thing any single girl like me would do: run screaming out of the house to the neighbors, begging for help. 

I should mention that the house next door is full of hockey players. And when I lock eyes on rough and rugged Brodie Stockhausen—who happens to be outside brooding on the porch—I’m not exactly impressed. 

But I’m desperate, in a bathrobe, and need a bit of rescuing.

Soon I’m begging for his help with more than just squirrel duty and DIY projects. I want his attention and his touch—not just his friendship! 

I want what every girl wants: him lying in his bed at night, so desperate for me that he’s willing to scale two stories to sneak into my window. Hey, a girl can dream…

But Brodie has a secret; one that leaves me wanting more every time we’re together but has him pulling away…

Lightning can strike the same place more than once.

The first time, it robbed me of my high school sweetheart.

Shattering our forever.

I was just sixteen.

Too young to understand the medical jargon that meant she was gone.

Too naïve to see that forever was nothing but a fairytale.

Now, years later, I meet Ameline.

I tried not to fall in love, but it was impossible.

She gathered all my broken pieces and put me back together.

I knew the only way to keep myself intact was never to love again.

But I fell for the illusion of forever once more.

At least until I lost her.

Now I'm left questioning everything.

What does forever mean when it's built on a foundation of pain and loss?

How do you move on when lightning keeps targeting your heart?

Why bother believing in forever when tomorrow isn’t guaranteed?

The Lies About Forever is book one of the Impossibly Possible duet that ends on a jarring cliffhanger that will break you into a million pieces.

MY REVIEW.

3 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐️⭐️⭐️

In "Lies About Forever," readers delve into the lives of Ameline and Gabe, two young individuals grappling with a plethora of personal struggles and emotional baggage.

Navigating their early twenties proves to be a tumultuous journey for both Ameline and Gabe. While Gabe appears to have a more stable home life compared to Ameline, he finds himself haunted by unresolved issues from his past, hindering his ability to move forward.

Initially, I found it challenging to connect with these characters, and unfortunately, that sentiment didn't evolve as I progressed through the book. While I typically enjoy the inclusion of texts and emails in a narrative, in this case, they felt lackluster, lacking the spark of witty banter and instead contributing to a sense of monotony.

Despite the clear premise outlined in the blurb, numerous obstacles are thrown in the path of this young couple, prompting contemplation on whether their struggles are ultimately worth enduring. Surrounding Ameline and Gabe are a supporting cast of friends and family members who add depth to the storyline.

While the book boasts solid writing, its pacing felt slightly sluggish to me, and I found myself yearning for a greater sense of emotional intensity. The story culminates in a significant cliffhanger, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for Gabe and Ameline.

As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I’ve eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard…until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven’t been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams.

My life has been a series of unfortunate events. Aside from my best friend, everyone I’ve ever trusted has hurt and used me.

So, when Dalton Davis asks me to be his wife as part of the ‘full Vegas experience’, I give him one night. Then, it’s off to Splitsville. But when getting married proves to be a lot easier than getting divorced, I have to do everything I can to protect my heart from getting broken again…even if my new husband is showing me all the ways he wants to keep it safe.

A deliciously sexy, enemies-to-lovers, brother’s-best-friend, hockey romance by Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author, S.J. Sylvis

Ford Collins is my brother’s best friend and Bexley U’s favorite defender on the ice. Unfortunately, he feels the need to block much more than the puck.

Namely, ME and any chance I have with a guy.

Encouraged by my older brother, Ford has ruined every single date I’ve ever had. With his hot smirk and sly maneuvers, he has made it his mission to make me the most unattainable female college student in the world—that is, until I have a brush with death, and I beg him to help me.

After all, he owes me. And I’ve come to collect.

Determined to rid himself of the guilt, Ford promises to help me score a boyfriend—or two—and swears he won’t interfere. 

But the more time I spend learning from one of Bexley U’s most desirable playboys, the more I start to question the real reason why he’s been sabotaging my dates over the years. 

With the lingering touches, heated stares, and sizzling chemistry between us, we both know we’re playing with fire. What happens when our game of “practice” and Ford’s spicy lessons become something real that we not only need to hide from my older brother, but from each other?

[Release Blitz + Review] Slay King by Abbi Glines

"I'm absolutely obsessed with this series. Every book just keeps getting better and better. King is completely unhinged when it comes to Rumor AND I ATE IT UP!!"- Katie, Goodreads

🖤NOW AVAILABLE🖤

𝐒𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Abbi Glines is LIVE!!

This is the second book in the duet, and is a steamy, southern Mafia Romance set in the Georgia Smoke Series.

BOOK BLURB.

“This world I live in isn’t one that builds strong relationships. It rips them apart.”

 

Perhaps that was true, but nonetheless, I had fallen in love with him anyway. The man who had lied to me, the man I couldn’t trust, the man who would never love me back, yet even knowing all that, I loved him still. His smile could make me forget all the reasons why I shouldn’t. I was so easily blinded by the charm that was King Salazar.

He used it like a weapon, and I was one of the many who fell under his spell. Accepting that I had nowhere else to go and running from the southern mafia was impossible, I gave in to my feelings for him. All the while knowing he would eventually break me in a way that my abusive husband he had killed had not.

While he kept me locked away, safe from the gang bent on finding me, I had to sit back and watch him live out a fake relationship with the next Governor of Georgia’s only daughter. We all know how that story goes. I’d read enough of those tropes in books to prepare myself for the end. When he would fall for her and, I would, once again, be left alone. Shattered beyond repair.

*Please be advised that this is book two in a duet and is a standalone in the Georgia Smoke Series.
