Review of Smoldering by Tiffany Aleman

Money ~ power ~ fame

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, the decision isn’t mine to make.

Loyalty to your family? Loyalty to your own happiness?

Which would you choose?

Tiffany is a mother of two and married to wonderful man. She is lover off anything that has to do with the outdoors. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time at the beach with her family and friends. Tiffany published her first novel in May of 2008 and hasn’t seemed to stop writing ever since. She loves to read and lose herself in the imaginary world of the written word.

Carla’s Review:

5 stars for Smoldering by Tiffany Aleman.  When my friend Stephanie recommended that I read this book, I looked up the description and knew that I had to read this book!

Kelsey is a young woman who is fed up with her manipulating parents and douche bag fiance.  She leaves her old life behind her and moves in with her best friend, Jen.  Although she has a nursing degree from Yale, she doesn’t want to use i because her parents paid for it.  She takes a job at a local diner and that is where she meets  Riley.  Riley is a handsome and sexy southern boy in a uniform.  Whats not to love about that description?  Riley and Kelsey have an instant connection that only deepens as time goes on.  As the story unfolds, heartbreaking events transpire.  Wil they fight for their love or let the past ruin them?

This is a brilliant debut by Tiffany Aleman!  I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
