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.
