Synopsis:
What do you do when you wake up with no memory of what you did last night?
Lucas spent the first half of his life protecting himself from others, but now his own mind is his biggest enemy. He doesn’t know what happens when the blackouts overtake him, but he can recall the feelings–the rage, the confusion, the fear. Thankfully the quiet life he’s found in Payson, Arizona has kept the darkness at bay. Until his boss’s estranged daughter shows up in town, asking questions she shouldn’t and sparking a desire Lucas can’t control. Getting close to Shyann is the best thing that’s ever happened to him, but when his blackouts return, unleashing the truth he’s battled so long to hide, he may just lose her forever . . .

My Review:
WOW!! An intense, sexy and VERY suspenseful romantic thriller with an edge. Lucas is one of the author’s most memorable characters ever.
“I wish she knew how much I want to be normal for her.”
Read the book description and then dive in to this fast-paced and dramatic story. I really don’t want to go into too much detail because spoiler-free is the way to go with this one! Fans of J.B. Salsbury know that she always creates THE most sensitive, damaged and protective heroes, but trust me, Lucas is VERY different from all her other characters.
Lucas is trying to live a quiet and uneventful life, having lived through a terrible trauma. His daily struggles are painful and feel very real. Told in alternating POV’s, the book also tells Shyann’s story. She has come back home, not exactly willingly, in order to start over again while working for her dad. ‘Split’ is not what you’d expect from J.B. Salsbury but it is a wonderfully sensitive and VERY sexy story. With tons of suspense!
Lucas is a beautifully damaged soul who deserves a happily ever after. The ending surprised me but it was absolutely perfect for these characters! I LOVED Ms. Salsbury’s venture into romantic suspense and can’t wait to read more stories like ‘Split.’
With thanks to the author for providing an ARC in return for an honest review.
