Titles: Almost Strangers & Strangers in Love
(Somehow Everlasting Duet)
Author: Claudia Burgoa
Release Date: October 28th

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa pens an emotional, heartbreaking romance duet where soulmates can’t be together and everything around them tears them apart.

I found it (him) at the bookstore.

Love.

He was six foot four, lanky, blue-eyed.

Jacob Decker was goofy, handsome, and cheesy.

There’s no better way to describe him.

But what can I expect of an eighteen-year-old boy who’s lived under a rock all his life?

I’ll let you into a little secret.

I had no idea what to expect.

We were each other’s first everything.

But the fantasy lasted only a semester.

Soon I had to move away.

A few years later, he was a rockstar, and I was…

Grasping for a lifeline.

The problem with first loves is that they never leave you.

But they never come back, do they?

Almost Strangers is the first novel in the Somehow Everlasting duet, a Decker Family Novel. This book ends on a cliffhanger that'll change everything...

The Somehow Everlasting Duet is based on Jacob Decker and Pria Walker's story. Part of this duet was released as Uncharted.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's been years since I read Jacob and Pria's originally story, Uncharted, so this felt like a brand new story, not least because it has been rewritten, although the essence of their story is still there.

The first time I read this story, it was angsty AF and that still rings true. Jacob Decker pretty much falls for Cipriana 'Pria' Walker from the first moment he sees her. He's silly and charming and eventually wins her round. Pria comes from a pretty strict family and her sister has health issues. The two secretly fall in love hard, but circumstances beyond their control tear them apart. Years later, when they meet again, Jacob is no longer the sweet guy she knew. It's like he's had a personality transplant.

By the time they met again, both had moved on and been through a lot. My heart hurt at how they came to lose each other when they were younger. By the time they met again, Jacob carried a burden of guilt for things that happened in his life because he'd never really gotten over the loss of Pria. This instalment had joy, pain and everything in between, and I couldn't wait to move on to the concluding book.

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa finishes an emotional rockstar romance duet where second chances between soulmates could make the difference between love and loss.

Karma is a… she’s not nice.

It’s been ten long years since Jacob and I parted ways.

I moved on… well, at least I thought I did.

That was until I’m asked to clean the image of Jacob Decker.

Rockstar, playboy, womanizer JC Decker.

He’s spoiled, rude, and inappropriate.

I shouldn’t take the job, but I need the money.

I swallow my pride and work for him.

Closely.

Too close.

That’s when I uncover the wounds he hides.

The scars underneath his dismissive attitude.

And his shattered heart.

Can I just walk away when I’m about to find the man I once loved?

Strangers In Love is the conclusion of the highly angsty Somehow Everlasting novel.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What I loved about this concluding part to Jacob and Pria's duet was how well they reconnected. No matter how he behaved, it was clear that he cared about her and her well-being. Even though Jacob tried valiantly to keep her at arm's length, these two were destined to be together. He was almost a shell of a man with no real purpose and seemingly going off the rails, but I loved how Pria brought him back to life. This instalment was angsty but also humorous and sexy. I had so many feelings whilst reading it and it was so painful that Jacob was trying to deny himself lifelong happiness due to an unfair promise. This was a fantastic read with a beautiful ending. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend this duet.
