Jake Ross. My first love. First kiss.
The one I wanted to be my first everything.
He was my forever ... until he wasn't.
With my world shattered, I left New York with the intention of never seeing the bad boy who broke my heart, again.
Six years later I'm back with one goal: steer clear of the person who ran me out of the city.

One summer ending with a life changing decision.
A second chance at forever with the whisper of, "it's always been you".
But now ... the world wants Jake too.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2020I loved Jake and Abby’s story. Their chemistry was undeniable. She’s trying to protect her heart, but is still so undeniably in love with him. He’s grown and is trying to do the right thing yet can’t stay away from her.
I also really enjoyed their friend group dynamic (can Sam get a book?). Even Zoe grew on me- that one friend who drives you nuts but you can’t stop loving, and she’s always got your back.
I’m so anxious for Always Us. There’s still that vital piece of their story that’s uncovered and I can’t wait to see where the reunion will take them.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021This heartfelt story draws you in and have you connecting with Jake and Abby. He broke her heart when they were teenagers. Both have moved on with their lives but something is missing leaving them unfulfilled. This is a well written story that is descriptive and I connected with the characters right from the beginning.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022I've never rooted for a couple like I have Abby and Jake. How much angst and conflict can two people endure! Sometimes no matter how deep the love is its just no enough to overcome obstacles and youth and even second chances with bad timing. My heart hurts for them. Starting the next book in the series now. A must read book and series.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024To me this book feels like it’s a rough draft, and the author still needs to add and fix details. First, Abby hasn’t been back to Brooklyn in 6 years, so how is it that the first night she back she’s picking up her drunk friends and the author makes it seems like it’s a every weekend occurrence, that Abby always pick ups a passed out Zoe and blacked out Sophie. The going back 6 years to high school was kind off a drag, I had to skip some of the pages, the main characters are likable but we don’t get Jake’s POV still the last chapter. This book would have been better if instead of the past POV we would’ve gotten Jake’s because a lot of the time you’re just left wondering about him. The book ended in a cliffhanger, I really hope the author doesn’t just use one POV on the next book, that I’ll probably just skip some chapters to figure out what happens to them.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022They always had things against them. They need to grow up. Must read. Can't wait for book two. Hope its as intense.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022Totally not what I expected to read going in, I had to force myself to finish the book. I found sophie and zoe to be obnoxious drunks, although they did get a little better by the end. It was so annoying to have the reason for Jake and Abby’s breakup throughout the story and have nothing confirmed or ever explained. It was like a roller coaster, and not in a good way, with everyone being team jake and then flipping and saying to avoid the relationship. I feel like the author also could have done so much more to create some angst with the relationship abby had with michael and jake with amanda. And what was this ending??? I felt like we reached a climax and then just stopped, what was the whole point of dancing around each other, sleeping with each other, to ultimately decided to focus on their careers. Disappointing and underwhelming!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021Abby is a young freelance photographer who comes back to her hometown for a short summer break. She takes up some freelance work and a part-time job at a bar. She reconnects with her groupie friends and the only reason she left Brooklyn six years ago.
Firstly and most importantly, I would recommend reading Always You, Book 1, instead of jumping into Always Us, Book 2, to avoid spoilers. Book 1 does a great job of "laying out" all the elements and details for readers in preparation for the mindset, Abby's family and group dynamics, and her life six years ago. The story jumps between current and past timelines that points towards "the hows and whys" that ties the story nicely.
Secondly, readers may find this book a challenging read if used to get first-person POV - dual. The story revolved around Abby and her experiences until the very end. The book is well written, with a lot of drama and uncertainty mixed into it. The author chose to reveal very little about Abby's aside while keeping everyone else's thoughts secret. It was until 70% into the book that things picked up and became more apparent.
Thirdly, Abby got to me! She is an enigma - the epitome of grace, humility, easygoing yet responsible (enough) character throughout the book. Granted that there were "loose moments," but most times, Abby is the "responsible one" and wanted to find answers that only one man could give her. Abby's internal "storms" were affecting her a lot and thus led to her indecisiveness. She might already know her decision, but the fear of being a disappointment to others makes her sacrifice her sanity in the book.
A frustrating trait I found with her is being too much a martyr when she becomes the "mother" to her galpals, Sophie and Zoe, "saving" them from their juvenile ways. She mentions dropping them but reverts to "saving them" when it comes time. My eyes were rolling each "next time" happened, but I understood the relationship's importance. I believe I was madder that her friends would put her in those situations.
When the story picks up, Abby starts opening up herself to her best friends and what readers will find is someone who has it all in her grasps, except the one true thing that she wanted most in the world. There were too many secrets surrounding Abby, her family, and friends that were frustrating. I got a bit lost (and mad) like Abby since everyone else knows this "life-changing secret" that hugely affected her. People hinted and encouraged, then later retracted. Even when Abby becomes brave, her supposed friends and family still did not help her - stating, "not my story to tell." (This was a very "GRRR" moment for me!)
Ultimately, it was "the right one" for Abby, even if everyone else might doubt it, including me. The final decision, in the end, can be a shocker because it was all left "down the wire."
In summary, I enjoyed Always You and would recommend this to readers who love trilogy or even duet books with a side of angst and big revelations. This ending is not a cliffhanger but more of "the next phase" of Abby's and Jake's love story. Readers will NOT feel shortchanged with Abby's decision. The story is solid and will bring up all "the feels" to have readers run through all the emotions of love, loss, and partial redemption. I love how the revelations came out and the character development when self-realization and sacrifices came out in the end. The book's ending was a "sound-one" for Abby and, in her mind, the best for everyone.
PS: I love the author's inclusion of Jake's POV to bridge us through Book 2 at the end, which left me "the chills"! I wanted to jump up and down as this technique is what movies use to drop "hints" for the next story. I love Jake's last words.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022This novel is amazing! It has me at the edge of my seat while reading. Will they be together or not was there question lingering in my head the entire time!

- Bassouma K. I really enjoyed reading The Gamble. I loved Rafie’s sincere love for Lavender. The way he praises her beauty before his friends and always indulging her. I really am touched by their loveReviewed in Canada on October 4, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars I loved the love story of Jake and Abby. However,
I loved the love story! Jake and Abby’s love story is very touching. Even Michael’s love for Abby is so lovely, when he told her, “I love you, I can’t unlove you “ such an immortal line… there were several sweet lines to be remembered, BUT I did not like the unfinished ending. It’s not fair
- Catherine LeighReviewed in Australia on May 23, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!
I really enjoyed this book, the storyline takes you on this bumpy journey of will she or won’t she take the job and then there’s will they or won’t they hook up.
The sexual tension is completely off the charts.
Loved the setting, mainly in bars and pubs, drinking and having fun.
Overall a fantastic read, can’t wait to read the next book in this series

Always You by Lizzie Morton is a slow burn, new adult, second chance romance, is the first book in the Always series and is told from the FMC POV.
This was such an enjoyable read and a change of pace to what I usually read.
This book had me laughing out loud with the main character and supporting characters quirkiness, and wanting to die at times from second hand embarrassment. Also the slow burn and the chemistry between the H & H kept me engaged throughout.
I recommend this read to anyone who enjoys a fun and quirky read.
Please note: This book does include emotional cheating. It also ends on a cliffhanger.
