Impossibly Forever
Impossibly Love:
All Moya Douglas wants to do is study hard, maintain her scholarship, and make her mother proud while attending college. She doesn't have time for a boyfriend or going on dates arranged by her best friend. Moya doesn't believe in love. And she has no intention of ever finding it.
Branden McCarthy is determined to change her views.
A selfless romantic who's had his heart broken in the past, Branden is fascinated with Moya's personality and hopes to develop something real with her—a connection so strong it'll open her heart. But just when things start to work between the two, Branden’s secret threatens to get in the way.
Will Moya finally do the impossible and give love a chance with Branden, or will fear keep them apart?
Impossibly True:
Moya is finally listening to her heart.
She’s ready for love and willing to bask in all the joy it brings, but still, she insists on taking things slow. After all, her relationship with Branden isn't the only one that needs a chance.
With his health scare behind him, Branden wants nothing more than to get his life back on track—play hockey again, catch up on school, and get things moving with his girlfriend.
In the middle of strengthening their relationship and sorting out their individual lives, trouble begins to brew, testing the depth of their feelings for each other.
Can Branden and Moya once again overcome their trials and prove that their love is indeed true, or will past ghosts and new temptations drive them apart forever?

Moya Douglas is afraid to open herself up to love until Branden McCarthy starts to break down her walls. Both college sophomores, they each have hurdles to overcome in their lives. Will they find their happily ever after together, or will something or someone come between them?
The relationship between Moya and Branden was sweet. I liked the fact that the story alternated between both points of view. I would love to see a spin-off to this series, detailing Ashton's time in Spain!

Such a sweet love story. I was rooting for Brandon to break down Moya wall. Then I started rooting for Moya to fall head over hill in love.

This book was interesting. It's about the relationship between Moya and Branden. From what I could gather I am assuming it was an interracial relationship and it was refreshing to see a love story about an interracial couple that was not focused on the tribulations of being an interracial couple. There was a hint of Branden's mother not being fond of the relationship because of the color if Moya's skin but she eventually accepted her for who she was and the story wasn't really focused on them being an interracial couple. Kudos to the author for that! I liked the fact that the POV changed so you could see what each character was feeling throughout the book.
I personally could not get really interested in the book in the beginning because it was so cliche in how the love story began. By the middle of the book I was hooked though and couldn't put it down!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the ending was rather abrupt and didn't seem fully developed. I felt the author rushed it a little and was too excited about tying up loose ends and making a "happily ever after" ending. It skipped from a hockey game, to a wedding, to moving into an apartment and starting a career rather abruptly in about the last 10 pages. I would have liked to have read more about the game and the wedding.

This is the second book I've read by Shane Morgan, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint.
When Moya first met Branden she had impenetrable walls surrounding her. She didn’t trust men.
“I didn’t trust men. My hurtful past with one in particular prevented me from doing so.”
However, Branden wasn’t giving up without a fight. He tried again with thoughts of amazement as he approached her.
“Her black curls begged my fingers to twist every strand across my flesh.”
Of course, Moya turned him down again. But eventually, he began to break down her barriers and Moya’s personality softened. She had to accept the inevitable.
“Please don’t’ make me fall. It was hopeless.”
As the story continued, Moya’s mom dropped a bomb shell that rocked her world, changing her perception and causing confusion about her past.
Meanwhile, Branden had problems of his own. Through it all, they worked through it.
Despite Moya’s rock hard exterior, Branden knew what he wanted, and I was glad he persisted. This story is written from each POV’s perspective in a New Adult Romance.
Although sex takes place in this book, it’s not graphic. It is tastefully done. It basically shows the intense feelings between the two characters.
If you are looking or a sweet romance, you may enjoy reading Impossibly Forever.

4.3 rating. Such an amazing story from two point of views. Great characters that you can relate too as well as a written and amazing story line that touches the heart. Great read yet also highly recommended. Didn't want the story to end but as with all good books you reach the end of it sooner rather than later.

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed these stories. The characters--especially their relationships--were very interesting, and I quickly found myself immersed in their world and thoughts. I especially loved that their "interracial" relationship wasn't the main focus of the duology (even though it is mentioned in the second half). I'll be writing my review for each book contained in this novel separately below. Overall rating 4.5 stars!
Impossibly Love, rating 4 stars
The first half of this novel was a little slow-going for me. We start out by meeting Moya and her best friend Vanessa. Moya is reluctant in starting a relationship (or even friendship) with any guy who approaches her or who Vanessa tries to set her up with. We know that Moya's reluctance stems from previously being burned by a man in her life, but we don't find out who until later on. Moya's determination to stay single remains firm, until she meets Branden McCarthy. Branden is intrigued by Moya's intelligence, spunkiness, and complete aversion to him from the moment they meet. He then sets out to open Moya up, learn her secrets, and ultimately win her heart.
However, once I got to the second half, I was really sucked in. Both MCs have secrets they are hiding, which adds great mystery and kept me intrigued throughout the novel. So when we finally start getting snippets of what they're hiding, I could not stop reading. I thought Branden was an absolute sweetheart (I loved being inside his head) and was just heartbroken when we learn about his situation. Moya, on the other hand, was such a tough little cookie, building a wall around her heart after her trust was broken by her father. I really sympathized with her and her weariness of opening her heart to anyone. The ending--although a tad rushed--was definitely heart-stopping. I was anxious, but I ended up loving it and couldn't wait to continue.

Impossibly True, rating 5 stars
We start out the second part of the duology with Branden seemingly cured from his heart condition. He is feeling better and is ready to take his relationship with Moya to the next level. Until his ex, Samantha, shows up--courtesy of Mrs. McCarthy's meddling--ready and willing to rekindle her relationship with Branden. While he is fending off Samantha's unwanted advances, Branden is also dealing with his parents imploding marriage and his brother's move to Spain. Moya, on the hand, is also excited with and still adjusting to her new relationship with Branden. As she strives to navigate what being a "girlfriend" means, she struggles to keep herself open to a relationship with her father and open to Vanessa's decisions about her own love life.
I absolutely adored this book! It had everything a good contemporary NA novel is supposed to have, but written in way that kept me guessing as to what was gonna happen. Both MCs grew so much in this novel--both in their relationship and separately--and I loved following along their journey. The side characters also shone in this novel as well. I didn't hate Mr. McCarthy or Samantha as much as I thought I would; I'm glad Branden finally found a good friend in Warren; I found myself admiring Ashton for being such a great brother even more; I disliked Moya's mom more than I thought I would (what she did was SO NOT COOL), but her dad was a sweetheart. I'm really happy with the ending because even though , I agree with them in that when you know, you just know :)
