I've been in a reading slump the past few weeks. I also have a quiet week next week: no reviews required. So, I'm treating myself to finishing a couple of series I'm anxious to finish but haven't had time.
All For This (Here and Now #3) by Lexi Ryan
What if you would never remember the day you made the most important decision of your life?That’s what they’re telling me about the day of my accident—the day I put on Max’s ring and chose him over Nate. I’m counting on the wisdom behind a decision I don’t remember making.
Max is amazing—sexy, sweet, and kind. I was starting to believe happily-ever-after might be in my future after all. Then the unthinkable happened and my world imploded. If I’m going to make this work with Max, I need my missing memories, or at least answers from about those five days before my accident.
But what does my future hold if those answers aren’t anything like I imagined?
------------------------------
I am so anxious about finishing this series. I'm so stressed about who she'll choose. But I need to finish it. Hopefully, finishing these series and reading without the pressure of a deadline will get me out of my slump.
