Back to Reality Blog Tour

~ Synopsis ~

Her past: Emanuel Mills was her first love. The guitar playing, adventure seeking, IT whiz was everything she ever wanted.

Her present: Tyree Barker was her last love. The cultured, educated, successful entrepreneur was everything she needed.

But when Sahara Lee’s past and present collided, a series of events occurred that changed her life forever, leaving her future up in the air.

As a college freshman, a tragic accident changed the course of Sahara’s life. Ten years later, just when she started putting her life back together, Sahara’s world was rocked again due to a similar accident.

Heartbroken and guilt ridden, Sahara fell into old, familiar habits before quickly realizing that she wasn’t the same Sahara Lee anymore. Unable to live a lonely, loveless, isolated life anymore, Sahara decided that the way she coped before wasn’t going to work this time around.

Time didn’t heal her wounds, but forgiveness might.

Review: 3.5 stars

Back to Reality is the follow up to Back to Life.  So you definitely can’t read the second without reading the first or you will be totally lost.  This book picks up where the first ended.  How do you deal with loving two men at the same time? And loving them both for different reasons.  Then just as you get ready to make a decision, BAM!!! You’re hit with chaos!  Nothing can ever be simple and it never is for Sahara in this book.  I did enjoy the books, but kind of got irritated with Sahara.  She’s so indecisive sometimes that it just got on my nerves.  But I guess in all reality, if I was in that situation and had to make the decision she has to, I would be wishy washy too. We get to see a lot of growth in Sahara throughout the book and end up feeling just as conflicted as she does about choosing a side.  ~Lauren

Author Bio- Danielle Allen:
I am a married event planner and life coach. My awesome friends and family and my amazing husband make my life sweet. I love to have fun and enjoy the life I’ve been blessed with. I love shopping and football with equal fervor. I’m an amateur movie critic (i.e. my husband and I watch and critique a lot of movies for fun). I love to read and I enjoy sharing my love of books with anyone who will listen. I love music. A good lyric with a good melody can paint a vivid picture and invoke such a range of emotions. I have a soft spot for most mediums of creative, artistic expression.
With degrees in psychology, human services, and marriage and family counseling, I have a unique perspective on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. As an author, I combine an active imagination and life experiences to create stories that are easily relatable and intentionally intriguing. I want to offer you a peek into someone else’s life and for you to get lost in their story, their trials, their triumphs. My ultimate goal is to create a character or a story that stays with you long after you’ve put the book down.
So in a nutshell: I plan. I teach. I read. I write. I watch. I critique. I shop. I play. I love.
To know me is to love me.
XOXO
