ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 6, 0224

Every night, I find myself caught between dreams and wakefulness.
Yearning for a past that slips through my fingers.
Each night, whisper prayers into the darkness.
Longing for just one kiss, one more touch . . .

Longing for her.

Maybe forever is a lie.
The truth is that tragedy will always break your heart.
But maybe, this time, I can build something greater out of tragedy.
Maybe . . . just maybe love isn’t as lost as I once thought.
And maybe forever might still happen to me

REVIEW:The Truth About Us is the second and final installment of the Impossibly Possible duet, and Oh my Goodness what a worldwind. This series is filled with drama and emotion, the author took this series in a different direction than I was expecting, but what a way to go.

THE TRUTH ABOUT US takes us back to where book one ends, so reading the first in the series is very much recommended, there is far too much that happens in book one that the reader will need to know for book two. The book continues with Ameline and Gabe, we see Ame is back to help her sister, but Gabe..Gabe is living like a ghost. It’s sad to see, but as the book progresses and we get the reasoning behind their separation, what really happened, a new picture starts to form.

So much can be said about the storytelling of this duet. The characters are intense, the plot is captivating and the story itself is heartbreaking in a way that makes you want more and more with every word. Gabe and Ame started off so young, and being that young they didn’t know how to talk to one another, how to be in a relationship, how to make it last. They were just too young. Years later, they get their second chance, and after everything they have to go through to be together again, the heartbreak, the lies and the pain, all to have each other back again. Watching Gabe come back to life, the light in his soul reignite was everything, him taking the time to win back Ame’s heart after everything they had been through, it made everything worth it. There two are soulmates, and after everything, I am so pleased they were able to find their HEA.

Gabriel
In the silent hours of the night, under the gentle glow of the moon, I lie awake, my heart filled with a deep sense of longing and loss. My dreams weave together the words of a prayer, a melody that blurs the lines between being awake and asleep.
Each night, as I close my eyes, I enter a realm painted with the colors of memories and desires. “I pray that my eyes awaken with the light of your gaze,” I whisper softly.
In this world, my wife’s eyes shine like stars, guiding me through the darkness of my grief.
I dream of days filled with laughter and nights enveloped in the warmth of shared dreams. In these dreams, I pray that you stay by my side and never leave me, my love.
I plead into the night.
In these dreams, she is there, as real as the ache in my heart.
Yet, each dream reminds me of the moment that broke my world. The dreams are a harsh contradiction, offering glimpses of a love that remains just out of reach.
As dawn nears, my dreams shift, creating visions of a future that might have been. I see children playing in the sunlight, their laughter filling a home brimming with love—a love I had hoped to share with her.
I pray for our children.
I pray for her heart.
I pray for us.
But as the first light of morning filters through the curtains, reality gradually returns. I wake up to a world that seems murkier, a life that feels incomplete. Yet, in the quiet moments of awakening, I cling “to the dreams, the prayers, and the love that keeps her memory alive in my heart.
I pray for one more second of life to give to her and my whole heart to surrender. I promise as I rise to face the day. In my heart, I know that every heartbeat, every breath, is a tribute to the love we shared—a love that, even when I pretend it never existed, remains strong.
And so, I navigate the delicate balance between reality and dreams, carrying within me a prayer that transcends time and space.
And if I die, let it be of love, knowing that in the end, it is love that infuses everything with meaning—love that will guide me through the darkest nights and into the light of a new day.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 29, 2024

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?

•••••••

REVIEW:The Lies About Forever is the first in the Impossibly Possible series by Claudia Burgoa. The blub for this book was the most perfect grab to get my attention, and get my attention it did.

TLAF is a quick emotional read that keeps its reader on their toes through the very end. This book, in what I would guess would have to be at least a duet, is filled with love, family drama and hot smexy men. It does start off with a feeling of reading a young adult/new adult romance as the main characters are in their late teens and early twenties.

The Decker family really starts feeling like family as the story progresses, and the siblings make it what it is. In this book we get Gabriel and Ameline’s story to start, it is fast paced and interesting as the plot unveils itself. So much happens so quickly, but overall the story is easy to keep up with.

“She gathered all my broken pieces and put me back together” This sentence was one of the best parts of this book, and I think the most relatable too. The cliffhanger got me, and wow how ready was I to throw my kindle across the room! (I didn’t) Ms. Author, I would like to politely request book two as soon as possible please.
