New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury makes her Forever debut with a stand-alone unforgettable new novel, with a twist no one will see coming . . .

What do you do when you wake up with no memory of what you did last night?

Lucas spent the first half of his life protecting himself from others, but now his own mind is his biggest enemy. He doesn't know what happens when the blackouts overtake him, but he can recall the feelings—the rage, the confusion, the fear. Thankfully the quiet life he's found in Payson, Arizona has kept the darkness at bay. Until his boss's estranged daughter shows up in town, asking questions she shouldn't and sparking a desire Lucas can't control. Getting close to Shyann is the best thing that's ever happened to him, but when his blackouts return, unleashing the truth he's battled so long to hide, he may just lose her forever . . .






“What we have isn’t conventional, it wouldn’t be considered ideal, but it’s perfect for us. Because love never discriminates. Even when you’re split.”

The last word I would ever use to describe Split would be conventional. From the beginning of the story I was intrigued. I couldn’t quite put my finger on where the words were taking me. It wasn’t until sometime later into the story did certain things click for me. And as soon as that happened, the suspense of it all is what kept me turning page after page.

I’m purposely being vague with my description because my wish is for every reader to start reading Split the same way I did. Blind; having no reviews to guide me on the content of the story. No spoilers that would give away the biggest secret, the best secret that makes this story so appealing and most different of its genre.

Split will take its readers on a journey of love and acceptance while trying to overcome fears that include the deepest of traumas while guiding the main characters into a relationship of the purest form. 

Unconditional Love.

This is my first JB Salsbury book that I have read and I now understand why she has the praise of her work. Her writing flows from word to word and commands you to sit tight while the story reveals itself only when it wants to.  For me Split was sexy and charming. It was heart clenching and at times refreshing. Split is a complete surprise. The main characters were well developed and complex and made me feel all the emotions on the spectrum at the drop of a hat.

 It’s dark and unforgivable.  

Overall, Split is a story that will knock you back a step and make you realize that a story isn’t always at face value. 

“You can’t jump.”
She narrows her eyes on me. “Of course I can.”
“Is it safe?”
My grip on her grows tighter and she steps close enough that I can feel the heat of her breasts brush against my ribs. “Lucas, do you trust me?”
“No.” The word comes out on a shaky whisper.
A gentle grin softens her face and with both her hands she works to relax my hold enough for her to slip free. Seconds later she turns, takes four long strides, and disappears off the rock cliff.
A holler that can only be described as guttural exhilaration echoes off the canyon walls and slices through the trees.
I race to the edge and there’s nothing but a circle of white bubbles marring the once shimmering pond.
I wait for her to surface, and just when I’m about to jump in and rescue her, her head pops up out of the water with a feral howl.
“That was amazing!” She waves at me. “The water is perfect!”
With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I allow myself a moment to wonder what it would be like to be as free as Shyann. Everything I do is weighed against the danger of doing it. The threat of blacking out always pulling me back to walk the safer, less risky side of any situation. But something about her makes me want to try harder, makes me want to take a risk like other twenty-five-year-old guys. The sound of her squealing lights a fire in my chest that has me wanting to jump.
Risking a blackout might be worth the few seconds of euphoria I haven’t felt since…I can’t remember.
I think of backing away and yelling for her to meet me at the truck, but something pulls me toward her. Part of me wonders if it’s nothing more than wanting to be close, to keep her safe, because she belongs to Mr. Jennings and I owe him. But even as the thought enters my mind, so does another.
I want her to like me.
I want her to see me as brave.
I want to know what it’s like to be normal.
