Back To Life (Back To Life #1) Currently On Sale for 99 Cents!
Sahara Lee is a young woman struggling to overcome a series of events for
which she feels responsible. Suffering from PTSD, depression, and an
overwhelming sense of guilt, Sahara systematically cuts herself off from those
who love her because she is afraid the people closest too her hate her for what
occurred, but fails to realize that she is leaving a trail of misery in her
wake. Sahara believes herself to be unworthy of love or friendship, but knows
that she is an extremely intelligent and savvy businesswoman. In business she
is exceedingly successful…the ice queen….never getting close to her co-workers,
never sharing anything of herself, and keeps her professional life far away
from her personal life. Outwardly she is cool as a cucumber, but inwardly is a
whole different story. Sahara is a seething mess of personal conflicts, but
also a master of disguise.Emily Mills is Sahara’s best friend. In college, she aspired to be a professional dancer, but some things are simply not meant to be. She’s known Sahara her whole life and considers her the sister she’s never had. Emily does not know why Sahara has completely distanced herself from the family. She is confused and hurt by Sahara’s physical and emotional distance. But Emily refuses to write Sahara off and is determined to discover the reason for Sahara’s retreat.
Emmanuel Mills is Emily’s older brother and is the object of Sahara’s seemingly unrequited love. A potential NBA candidate, Emmanuel seems to have the world by the balls. Yet appearances can be deceiving. He has watched over Emily and Sahara for their entire life and loves them both dearly. He is very hurt and confused by Sahara’s desertion.
Tyree Barker is a self-made entrepreneur, and owner of ‘Jimmy’s’ – an upscale restaurant and night club. He is handsome, wealthy, and interested! Conveniently he is Sahara’s new neighbor.
Sahara has to return to her hometown in order to testify at the hearing of someone up for an early parole. This person is at the crux of her self-imposed exile from all who care for her. Will she be able to overcome her intense fear and anxiety and confront her past head on? Will all of those whom she has abandoned forgive her and allow her back into their lives? Will Sahara be able to forgive herself, allow herself to put the past behind her, learn to love and be loved, and step into a future bright with possibilities? Or will Sahara simply choose to live in exile, hating herself for her past.
Back To Life is not just a story. It is one woman’s journey back towards the life she deserves. I am very glad I took this journey with Sahara and look forward to continuing with Back To Reality!
Back To Reality (Back To Life #2)
In “Back To Reality” - the second book in
the Back To Life series - Sahara continues to resolve her personal issues,
begins to accept that she should only feel guilty for things she’s done that
SHE could control, and attempts to get her personal and love life in
order. She is still having trouble with
her feelings for both Tyree and Emmanuel, and is learning to trust
herself.
Is it
possible to love two men at the same time?
Sahara does love both Tyree and Emmanuel, and each man fills an
emotional need. Sahara has come so very
far in her personal development and is tearing down her walls brick by
brick. Her biggest decision is going to
have to be which man will share her life!
Will it
be the new man in her life, Tyree Barker?
He’s handsome, extremely successful, and panty wetting sexy. But he’s pushing Sahara to make decisions she
KNOWS she is not yet ready to make. Or
will it be Emmanuel – the man she has loved seemingly forever? Whenever she is near Emmanuel Sahara can only
hold on for dear life – because his charisma, sex appeal, and ties to her past
are like water to Sahara’s thirsty heart, but she is petrified to hurt him
anymore. Both men are pushing her to
choose, but can she?
Sahara’s
continuing journey of self-discovery and acceptance is both heartbreaking and
uplifting. I have thoroughly enjoyed
reading the Back To Life series and look forward to reading more of Danielle
Allen’s work!
