What should I read after the Something in the Way series?

4/22/2019

9 Comments

 
This is a question I get frequently, and I've posted it on the blog before—but that was almost two years ago, and as you probably know, about a trillion books have released since then! So I figured this would be a good time to ask for recommendations from you, my readers. It doesn't have to be one of my books—although it can be, because I get that question a lot too (what to read next by me that's closest to Something in the Way). But it can can be any book or series that gave you the same feels/nostalgia/emotion/angst...whatever does it for you! Then, I can pass this link along whenever I get this question...and it's also a good reference for anyone who stumbled across this post looking for recs.

​Something in the Way is my epic love saga that spans time and channels the teenage angst of falling in love and having your heartbroken...then mended.

​If you haven't read it, learn more here. Otherwise, hit me with those recs in the comments!

Now Available for Listening: Lake + Manning, narrated by Andi Arndt

Picture
The final book in the Something in the Way series, and a USA Today best seller. Narrated by audio romance favorite Andi Arndt.

Manning and I have what happily ever after is made of....
A home he built us on the unshakable foundation we fought for.
A life of laughter carved out of heartache and betrayal.
A love story to stand the test of time.

But between a trust that can't be broken, joy that can't be bridled, and passion that would scorch the sun, the empty spaces are becoming more and more difficult to ignore....
Fears that keep Manning up at night as he slips from our bed.
Our complicated relationship with a man he respects, and one I don't know how to forgive.
And a sprawling, beautiful home with one small room I'm afraid I'll never be able to fill.

Manning and I have what happily ever after is made of....
But I'll beg the heavens for just one thing more.

Lake
It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. If I'd known then what I do now, would I have kept on walking? Manning was older, darker, experienced—and I'd trusted him when he said the story would only ever be about us. I'd held those words close and challenged fate, but I had lost.

A part of me is still that sixteen-year-old girl squinting up at Manning, but no matter how far I fall or high I soar, I'll always be a bird without her bear and nothing without him. 

Manning
When I close my eyes, I can no longer see her. The decisions I made were to push Lake in the right direction--away from me. But now that she's gone, would I have made those same choices? I'd walked away like I was supposed to. I'd kept my distance. I'd bent over backward to keep Lake pure, but she's no longer that girl, and I don't know if I can stay away anymore. I only know I don't want to.

She's still everything I want and nothing I should ever have, but if anyone can move the stars, it's her great bear in the sky.

*book 3 concludes the series, but I've decided to add a 4th book that will elaborate on the story (coming next year)

BOOK 1
If I closed my eyes, I could still see them - all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake's gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany's tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly.

A better man would've walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I'd keep enough distance. If I'd learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on.

Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine - even if it would be for somebody else.

Book two in the Something in the Way series, an epic saga of forbidden love.

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents’ house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn’t be broken...no matter how hard we tried.

I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, through his struggle to keep me innocent, and through infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I’d learn that life isn’t always fair. That no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next.

Book 1 in a completed love saga. Audiobook release schedule:
Something in the Way (1): Available now
Somebody Else's Sky (2): December 4th
Move the Stars (3): December 27th

Reader Question: any recommendations for a similar storyline?

9/18/2017

6 Comments

 
Earlier this month, I posted a question I'd been getting a lot of: which of my books should you read while you wait for Move the Stars? Inspired by the "reader question" segment on Maryse's Book Blog, I decided to open it up recommendations. Today I have a similar question, but we're looking for ANY books by any author. In the Somebody Else's Sky Spoiler Room, reader Jas asked:
Ok ladies.. it seems as though I'm in the right place. I've been weirding myself out with how much this book has been on my mind. I've started FOUR new books and stopped a couple of pages in because I just couldn't get into anything. What's everyone reading? Any recommendations for a similar storyline are much appreciated or else I'll never make it to October! 🖤😭😂
If you have some ideas, help us out and leave them in the comments! Here are some of the responses from the Facebook post to get you started:
Azalia: I just finished "The King" by Skye Warren it was so amazing. 
I also recently read
Tied- by Carian Cole
And for a fun read
TK Leigh- Writing Mr. Right
Happy Reading

Melissa: 
Complicated Hearts by Ashley Jade

Shirley: I had to read something funny so I recommended tapping the billionaire by Max Monroe the whole series is hysterical or a single read tempt the boss by Natasha Madison all very good laugh out loud reads!

Deborah: Have you read any more of Jessica Hawkins stories? If not how about Slip of the Tongue, First Taste, or my favorite of hers explicitly yours series. Mia Asher, Arsen is a great one or any of hers I recommend.

Something that was mentioned here was Worth the Wait by Jamie Beck was really good. The H kind of made me think of Manning and helped me some. Still waiting for October.....

Karin: You can read Garden of goodbyes by Faith Evans i think,2 sisters one man.
