By text message.
Now she’s walked back into my life. Just as beautiful. Just as sweet. Just as smart. More grown up and incredibly sexy…

Excerpt:
Jordan
Of course, I’m not going to shake Amanda’s hand.
Instead I grab hold of it, that unmistakable jolt of electricity sparking when our skin connects, just like every other time we’ve touched. I pull her to me and wrap her up in my arms because I can. I’m the one who offered up the tickets so I could…what? Show off? Let her know exactly how great my life is?
I can’t lie. My life is pretty damn great. I have everything I could ever want—except for one thing.
“Hi Jordan,” she breathes against my neck, and I swear she melts into me a little. Like she can’t help herself. Like we somehow still fit together even after all these years.
Either she got smaller or I grew bigger since the last time I touched her, and I’m guessing it’s the latter. She smells familiar, yet different. Better. I recognize the scent of her shampoo, but nothing else. Her hair is longer. Thick. Dark and wavy, up in a ponytail and a little disheveled, like she’s had a long day. Her body is curvier, something teenaged Amanda would’ve never believed could happen. She still has those sexy long legs, though.
Finally, she pulls away from me, her lips curled, her eyes sparkling, nervousness written all over her face, and I watch her carefully in return, my expression as neutral as I can make it. Honestly, I’m still a little pissed over that garbage game we just played, and I’m tense like I usually am after. Her understanding gaze meets mine and I know she knows what I’m feeling. We’ve always been in tune with each other…
She’s my Mandy, all grown up. But not my Mandy anymore.

I love myself a good sports romance and You Promised Me Forever delivered on every aspect!  This book had a little bit of everything that I look for in a sport book, actually sports, love, romance and angst...how can you go wrong??

Amanda or Mandy and Jordan Tuttle from the Friends Series were one of my favorite couples and to see them again, years later and what happened with their love and their lives was fantastic.  Monica Murphy still gave her readers everything you want and need in a book, making it new and exciting without re-writing history so to speak.

When Amanda and Tuttle reunite following his appearance on NFL tonight, she slides into his DMs and all bets are off.  Tuttle never stopped loving the girl who stole his heart and Amanda never forgot about the boy who was supposed to be her forever.   These two need to get over the past hurts and work on the now if they are going to make it as a couple.  I loved how they each overcame their childhood insecurities regarding the other, despite the fact that they did surface now and then, especially since Tuttle became an NFL star.  

I cannot wait for more from this series.

Synopsis: "The first time I returned to Lancaster was for my brother's funeral.
The second time was for Myra."
For twelve years, I lived alone in my cabin, building a life with my two bare hands. I was free from their rules, their policies, and their lies.
They are a cult.
My father is their leader.
To protect my brother's widow, I'm making her my wife. It's her only way out.
But drawn to the purity in her deep blue eyes and the innocence of her gentle voice, I wonder if I'm not the biggest monster of them all. I have to save her from them and myself. Because every second I spend with this timid woman, I fight the urge to claim her.
Own her.
Make her truly mine.
And I know it's wrong.
I will break her fall—if I don't break her first.

Wow! Break My Fall by M. Mabie is a book like nothing I have ever read. It was intriguing and captivating at the same time. 

Abraham or Abe as he is referred to by the world left what is nothing more than a religious cult of which his father is the leader years ago. When he brother dies of a heart attack Abraham returns to Lancaster for the funeral and cannot wait to leave once he gets there. That is until he meets his brothers wife Myra. 

Myra has lived in Lancaster her whole life and has followed the teachings of the church as she was taught to from a young age. Once her husband dies she begins to question things since she doesn’t feel grief as a wife should and wonders why her marriage was never consummated. 

When Abe returns to Dave Myra from a fate that is not her choice, he marries her and takes her from Lancaster to the real world where she needs to adjust to a different life. While Myra begins to find her way in the new world, Abe begins to form real feelings for Myra and wants to start their relationship as normal relationships do...with dating.

But while at a BBQ of some friends that also denounced the church they once lived by, Myra goes missing and Abe is distraught. 

What a cliff hanger! I need to know what happens...did Myra hear what was being said about the place she once loved and called home? Or did something happen to her? I need to know yesterday!
