For Annie Phillips, there is a right way to do things and
everything has a place. College and her flawless GPA are top priority, as is
planning her perfect future. Anything less than perfection is unacceptable. So
when she meets Loden Guiles, she believes she has finally found her perfect
happily-ever-after.Chase Malloy is funny, loyal, and an all around nice guy. He’s also sloppy, tattooed, and undirected. All Chase wants to do is survive college, hang out with friends, and make music. Knowing his best friend’s step-sister since they were fourteen, Annie and he have always had a love-hate relationship. The last thing Chase expects is to fall for Annie, but he knows he’ll never live up to her idea of the perfect man.
On the outside, Annie and Loden’s relationship appears picture perfect. But behind closed doors, Annie quickly realizes Loden isn’t the man he pretends to be. Every time her not so well laid plans crumble, and Loden proves to be not so Mr. Right, Chase is there to pick her up and brush her off. Will she realize the perfection she’s been searching for has been in front of her all this time?
*Long After is a companion novel to Sometimes Never and Before Now. Many of the same characters appear in Chase and Annie's story. However, it can be read as a stand-alone book.
**This is a new adult novel. Due to harsh language, sexual situations, and violence, this book is recommended for 17+.
I am so happy that Ellie invited me to be on the tour! I have a new fav author and as soon as I finished this book I headed to Amazon and one-clicked every single one of her books! I am a sappy love, goofy character, childhood friend kind of book lover and this book covers all of that and more! The banter between Chase, Annie, Guy, Park...I loved! They are all smart ass, quick witted friends, which to me makes the best stories. I laughed, cried, gasped and cheered in this book. It's well rounded and loved every minute of the book. I started it right after I dropped the kids off at school and then glued myself to it for the day and finished as I was sitting in the carpool line to go pick them up. I just could not put the book down.
I love how Cheryl incorporated music into the book and so I have attached the playlist that I found on her webpage. Hope you enjoy it!
Cheryl McIntyre is a mother, author, and insomniac, as well as a reader, movie critic, and incredibly bad singer. She’s lived in the same area of Ohio her whole life, though she secretly has dreams of moving somewhere a little warmer—preferably near a beach.
Her life revolves around four things: family, music, books, and really bad scary movies. If she doesn’t have a kid on her hip, an iPod in her hand or a laptop in front of her face, it’s one of those rare moments when she’s actually sleeping.
You can follow her author page on Facebook where she lives part time. On Goodreads—which is like crack for avid readers. Or on Twitter, though it’s rumored she has yet to master the art of tweeting.
