Kelsey
Growing up in the arms of one of the wealthiest families in America, I lived a champagne lifestyle and never wanted for anything.
That life came with stipulations…
1. Marry the man I don’t love.
2. Make my parents proud.
Wrong.
I left my Manolos and fancy apartment behind and fled that life to find out who I really was.
Someone unexpected bulldozed my life.
Riley Jackson
He was the man everyone, including me, wanted, but his future was one I wasn’t sure I wanted to thrust myself back into. And when he chose a career over the family business, his family supported him instead of pushing him away.
My past collided with my future.
I didn’t see it coming. If I had, I would’ve ran far, far away.
Now I’m stuck in the same position I started in two years ago, except this time, it’s not my decision to make.
Loyalty to your family? Loyalty to your own happiness?
Which would you choose?
This being my first time reading anything from Tiffany Aleman, I really didn't know what to expect. I went in knowing only that Smoldering was receiving great reviews. Let me tell you, I did not expect to come out of it a blubbering mess! Tears of sadness, tears of joy, this book ripped my heart out and then gave it back to me. What struck me most was how realistic and open this story was. Dealing with real issues, and circumstances people throughout the world deal with on a daily basis. It was just refreshing! I know that fans of this genre will devour every page of Smoldering and will anxiously await the next gem that comes from Ms. Aleman!
Kelsey wants what every girl wants…to be loved and to love in return. Not just the love of a man, but love in all aspects of her life. While standing at the alter she realizes that her desire for love is not full-filled, and with no regard to losing her life of wealth, she leaves in search of true happiness.
Riley Jackson is on the other end of the spectrum, he grew up surrounded by love, and never lacked for affection. Sexy, sweet, and genuine, Riley is everything that Kelsey has been looking for, and more. He's a man who could show Kelsey what love truly means.
The past always finds a way to be dealt with, and running from it always seems to make it worse for all involved. Kelsey's past is no different. No matter how much she wanted it to go away, Kelsey's past comes out and destroys the future she has been creating for herself. All at once Kelsey experiences the joy of true love, and the despair of true heartbreak.
I loved everything about Kelsey and Riley together. From their amazing chemistry, to their witty banter, these wonderful developed characters had me on the edge of my seat the entire story. What Kelsey and Riley felt, I as a reader felt too. Ms. Aleman sucked me in from the very beginning and didn't let go. Put this author on your TBR list and keep her there. I only see more amazing stories coming from her in the future! Smoldering is a true love story that will enter your heart and soul, never letting go. Not even after the light on your kindle has dimmed.
Five Big Stars!!!!!
