Did I say I never thought I'd be dating again? I really never thought I would be. When I got married to my ex-husband, I thought we were forever. I'm a diehard romantic, always have been so when Adam swept me off my feet and we had children together, I thought I had it all. The life I've always wanted. When life got hard, stressors we didn't see coming pulling us in every direction, and various other issues, our life crumbled. My ex had a major mental illness that he just didn't take care of. He was in denial and this affected his entire life. He wouldn't even be able to work and here I was taking care of the kids, working full time plus a second job, and taking care of the house and everything that comes along with running a family. He didn't help, didn't work much, and while he did stay home with the kids often saving us babysitting costs, he wasn't a very involved parent and slept a lot. It was like living with someone who has an addiction whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, whatever. When it takes over your life, it creeps its way into every aspect of it. And unless you seek active help and accept and admit you have a problem, it will continue to swallow you whole. I tried helping him so many times until I couldn't anymore. I was worn down and broken. My love for him was broken. He became another child for me to take care of and that's sad. I needed a partner, to help me support the house and raise the kids. To be a solid unit, a team. So things ended and my life went into a tailspin because it didn't end well or easy. Now I was left with all the problems I've had with no help but also no one to care for the children. Meaning more daycare and longer days. We did it though and we've come far. 6 months later and here I am now wanting to date again. A huge part of me dreaded it. But I love love. I want love. I want a man to help me and be a partner with me. Everything I've always wanted but didn't get. I met Kyle and I was swept off my feet. He seemed great at first and I felt like a million bucks. But then the lies came out, the issues with the children happened (he didn't have kids nor could he even remotely understand them or try to anyway), and the truth of his drinking problem came to light. I was broken hearted and miserable. It hurt. So I took a break for a while and then decided to casual date. It didn't work for me in college, I'm too much of a romantic and a Cancer, but I thought maybe it'd be different now that I'm older, I have kids, and I don't want the extra drama. I have enough. Didn't work either. I get too stuck on one guy and feel weird talking to others. If I had sex, I felt even more stuck on that one guy. I have too strong of emotions. And if he rejected me after a night of sex and treated me like a hookup, I felt even worse. So I was about to give up when I began talking to Bill. He's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. We clicked from day one (after meeting on Christmas night of all days lol) and we haven't looked back since. He's a hardworking loyal man who had a shitty first marriage and just wants to find the woman of his dreams to spend the rest of his life with. Same as me. He's a Cancer and just as sensitive and emotional as I can be. (Not in a woman way, tho, he understands my stupid shit). I hope the future will be ours. I want to enjoy my forties traveling, writing, and meeting new readers and I want him by my side. Love is crazy isn't it? Probably why none of us can stop reading or writing it hahaha Till next time xxxx Lyssa

A summer fling….
A temporary thing… His name was Cole and I couldn’t resist him. He was everything a girl could want in a summer romance. A hot, tanned, surfer with blonde hair and blue eyes... oh and let’s not forget about all those muscles and the six-pack I couldn’t stop staring at. We agreed to just sex. Lots of sex. Lots of fun. No titles, no relationship, and certainly no love. Until the sex started to feel like something else. Something more..
Something way more… But for him?
It was still just sex.
Until it wasn’t.
Until everything we didn’t mean to build unraveled in a heap of secrets, lies, and broken trust. We came crashing together but will our summer fling survive the waves? Lastly! Twisted Fate chapter 3 and 4 have both released and chapter 5 will be coming out later this week. If you missed any, just subscribe to my newsletter, and the newest chapter will have links to all the previous chapters. I'll also be updating my blog later this week about my life stories that I totally forgot to update about! Eek! Sorry! And now an exclusive excerpt of Crashing Together only found here and in my newsletter... “You’re in over your head and you know it.” Leigh lifts her frozen margarita to her lips and eyes me over the sugar rim. “I am not.” I roll my eyes and look around the smoky bar. I don’t know why I even let Leigh talk me into coming here. It’s dark, a little sketchy, and the millions of fog machines fill the place with smoke so thick you’d think they allowed cigarettes in here. “You’re in denial, Addi. You can’t even look at me.” I snap my eyes back to her. “It’s hard to see with all this smoke.” I wave my hand around for dramatic effect. Leigh laughs and rolls her eyes. “Yeah okay girl, whatever you say.” “The drinks are delicious though.” I raise my glass before bringing to my lips, licking the sugar rim. I sip slowly, wary of my uneasy stomach. It hasn’t felt right the past couple of days. It’s as if a storm is brewing, ready to take over at any minute, inside my belly. Awake at night, I stare at the ceiling as it flips and twists, growing worse. The storm named Cole. He fills my bloodstream, running through my veins, and follows me everywhere I go. No matter what I do, I can’t stop it. I was a fool thinking I could and I’m a fool now as I sit here and let it happen. I’m falling hopelessly in love with Cole. It’s unreal, consuming, and lighting me on fire from within. I’ve never felt anything like it before. The more I see him, the more I want. And Leigh is absolutely correct. I’m in over my fucking head. Cole doesn’t feel the same. We fuck. That’s it. We share moments sometimes. But then we fuck. And fuck some more. While I pine away, he enjoys getting off. While I think about him all day, once I’m out of his sight, I’m out of his mind. What in the fuck have I done? I down the rest of my drink. “Fuck.” Leigh raises her eyebrows. “You’re right, okay? I’m way over my head. Like bottom of the ocean and no way back up.” “Sex is that good huh?” Leigh wiggles her eyebrows and we both laugh. “What am I going to do?” I sigh. “You’re going to stop seeing him. You can’t fuck without emotion, Addi. You never could. He doesn’t want what you want. So time to let go.” My heart sinks. Exactly what I didn’t want to hear. Exactly what I need to do. Problem is- how in the fuck am I going to when I’m already this far in? The thought of Cole not in my life scares the shit out of me. And that very thought scares the shit out of me. I knew this would happen but I did it anyways. Fucking typical. But that dick though… Don't forget to one click now for only 99c and jump in on the giveaways! Xx Lyssa

New Release Details!

Hey all! Happy Sunday! Whose a Pats fan? Another Superbowl for them. Let's hope for another win! I've finally decided on a release date for my upcoming book. I know a lot of you are probably wondering what happened with Long Road Home. I decided to put that book off for now. I wasn't in a good place when I wrote it so I revamped the whole plot and for some reason, I couldn't get myself to write it. The characters and the story were there but weren't speaking to me. So I put it to the side and decided to start on another of my many book ideas. Something fun and fresh, hot and angsty but still sexy and sweet. Crashing Together will be releasing May 1st with a cover reveal on April 1st. I'll also reveal the official blurb and live pre-order links. I hope you all give this book a chance. I know I've been gone for a while, I put off dates and books, and probably disappointed some, but I truly apologize. I'm going to turn over a new leaf this year and get back to writing! Crashing Together Add to Goodreads here! Signup for a release alert here! ​Here comes a fun, sexy, hot as hell, angsty summer romance that turns into so much more... It’s an age old story…. A summer fling….a temporary thing… I can’t resist him. He’s the perfect definition of a summer romance. Hot, tanned, and loves to surf. Don’t let me forget his blonde hair and blue eyes. Oh, and those muscles and defined six pack I can’t stop staring at… Cole and I agree to just sex. Lots of fun, no titles, no relationship, and certainly no love. When the summer fades into fall, we agree to meet up for sex on the weekends, no strings attached. The two hour distance is too long for a real relationship. Right? Until the sex started to feel like something else, something more.. Something way more… But for him? It was still just sex. Until it wasn’t.

Lies and more lies

The first sign was the throwing up. The endless stomach bug he seemed to have almost every week. He’d say he had stomach problems or it’s just a virus but as time went on I started wondering. The first red flag should’ve been that he had no car but he told me he was working on it. Then he lost a job quickly after we started dating and never got another which was another sign I chose to ignore. When your in a loveless marriage for so long and are ready to finally date, everything is so new and exciting. He was handsome and funny and he swept me away causing me to ignore all my warning signs. Besides these issues, he wasn’t good with my kids and took everything so personal. He was super immature, defensive, and no self esteem. I felt like we were fighting constantly. Isn’t there supposed to be a honeymoon stage? Cuz yah that didn’t happen. Lastly there was the lack of sex life. Now he was able to do amazing foreplay some of the best shit I’ve ever had but when it came to getting his dick hard, forget it. Limp as limp can be. Of course I take it as me at first which didn’t help the situation. Two months into the relationship he disappeared. Like no calls nothing. Last I knew he had gone to the hospital for throwing up and then it was silent. After calling several hospitals I found him. Malnurioushment is what he claimed along with a stomach bug. I accepted it. Until he put my kids at risk and then, shit got real. To be continued... Hope you’re enjoying the story! Xx Lyssa
