Woods Lake I Never Stopped Loving You: Woods Lake 4 - Joey & Ally, Book 4, (Paperback)

The books in the Woods Lake series is a series of connected standalone novels with recurring characters. Each book gives a complete story with HEA for the couple. Some scenes and stories occur in multiple books. When this happens, the story is told from a different character's perspective in each book.Joey and Ally's story is an epic love story. It's the longest of the Woods Lake stories in both length and time. It is broken into two parts. Part 1 is their original love story from the day they meet until their break up. Part 2 is the story of their second chance.Joey was 24 when he met Ally, and he had just reenlisted in the Army for an additional four years. Ally was 19, in college, working toward her goal of becoming a Literacy Specialist. It's an instant attraction that leads to a week of flat track races, baseball games, lake dates, line dancing, and stargazing. Joey asks Ally to write to him every week, and he promises to email, call, and video chat as much as possible. He knows that he can't be home a lot, but he promises her as much time as he can give her.Their story is the story of two people who love each other in a way that most people only dream of, but years of distance becomes unbearable and leads them to drift apart. Is their love strong enough to overcome this time apart and find their second chance at a happily ever after?Content Notes: book contains discussions and references to - car accident; death (not a main character); funeral; hospitalization; illness; military deployment, including limited communication due to deployment; special ops; surgery; and past controlling/amnipuative/abusive family relationships**********As soon as she had my clothes on, she turned and looked at me, "I'm not giving these back until your next trip home. It guarantees that you have to see me." I needed her to know that I wasn't lying when I said I loved her, and I wanted to make this work. "You don't have to worry. I'm coming back to you as much as I can. I promise. Look at me, baby. I mean it. This isn't a one-week thing. I'll be back as much as I can." I needed her to know that I meant these words. She's important to me, and I was going to make this work.**********"We don't have time for everything I want to do in this shower, and I'm going to need to share at least two more to memorize it."**********""Every other man who overlooked you, Ally, was a moron. You're amazing. You're smart, funny, kind, and sexy. I know you don't believe the last one, but you are. I'm going to tell you it so much you eventually believe it."********** She leaned in and kissed me softly. I took the kiss and deepened it. She may not have kissed before, but she was good at it. Damn, she was the best kiss of my life.********** "Do you trust me?""Completely."********* Reviews - "JLynn, I hate you so much right now. I don't cry, ever! This book was amazing. I don't even have words. I've loved everything else you've written, but Joey and Ally's story is every emotion in a book. They're fun and sexy. They're real. They go through some drastic hard times and keep fighting to make it. The breakup gutted me. I knew it would happen because the other books refer to Joey not being there, and we see him in the up with Ally again. But to get to see the story from the day he meets her through the breakup and then have Part 2 of the book where they get back together, and they try for a second chance is an entirely new experience for your books. Holy crap! I loved their second chance story, and you nailed the epilogues so perfectly. I need more! I need an entire Joey and Ally series." Chris, advanced reader
