You know how you always say someday I will?
Well, I’ve hit my someday.
Someday begins today.
Baylee Morgan is at a crossroads of her life. Leaving her marriage of ten years and the only life she’s ever known, she starts over in a penthouse ocean-front condo in Santa Monica, California. She soon finds herself immersed, albeit reluctantly, in the daunting and perilous world of dating as an almost thirty-something in Los Angeles, unsure of how to act, what to do, or whether that hot guy she meets in yoga class is straight.
Sebby Powers’ dream has always been to work in the film industry. At the age of thirty-five, he’s one of the youngest up-and-coming producers in Hollywood. His life is perfect. Perfect apartment. Perfect girlfriend. Perfect dog. Until a friendship with a beautiful woman with vibrant red hair and a similar taste in cheesy movies throws his perfect life into a tailspin.
The Other Side Of Someday is a fun, sexy story of looking for Mr. Right in a world full of Mr. Wrongs, when Mr. Right could be just next door.

Excerpt
“Sebby?” I called out, hesitantly walking through the entryway and into the open living space. “Holy shit!” I exclaimed when my eyes settled on him standing in front of his refrigerator. But that wasn’t what caught me completely off-guard. It was the fact that he was standing there, holding a towel in his hand, exposing himself in all his glory. I quickly spun around, my entire face turning a shade of red that would put my hair color to shame.
“Fuck!” he shouted. “Do you take the world’s quickest shower or something?!”
“Balls,” I muttered, keeping my eyes glued to a large print of a vintage DC-10 that was hanging on the entryway wall.
“What?” he countered, his voice turning light and amused. I could almost picture that sexy and adorable smile drawn on those kissable lips of his.
“There were balls. And stuff.”
He laughed harder than I had heard him laugh in the few weeks I had known him, the rumble echoing in the open space.
“I’ll never be able to look at you again without seeing your balls, Sebby. Just thought you should know that.” I drew a long breath, trying to settle my nerves. Seeing his mouth-watering body completely bare didn’t help matters any. “Here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to go back to my apartment. I’m going to have a shot of whiskey. Or tequila. Or gin. Or whatever will make my blood pressure drop. And then I’m going to come back and we’ll try this again, okay?”
“I promise I’ll be dressed when you come back.”
“Why were you bare ass naked in your kitchen anyway? Did you want me to walk in on you like that? Trying to show off?”
“Do you think I have something to show off?”
“I… Well…” I shook it off. “I’m not answering that.”
“Okay then.”
“Okay.”
“Baylee…?”
“Yes?” I turned around as one often does when their name is called.
“Jesus!” His expression grew wide and he hastily attempted to hide himself.
“For fuck’s sake!” I spun back and faced the door once more. “Did you not think to cover yourself up after the first time I walked in and saw you naked? I’m still standing here. You know that bath towels serve some rather astonishing purposes these days, the most useful of which being something to wrap around your waist to keep your junk covered! I’m leaving and taking two shots of whiskey. Be back in five minutes.”
This book was a wonderful read. I have read T.K. Leigh’s Deception Duet and
loved it. This book was no different in
that aspect. This book was wonderfully
moving. Baylee has moved to California
to start over after catching her husband cheating on her. Even though so no longer loved him it hurt no
less. So has lived the last 10 years of
her life for her husband. It was always
about him; his career, what he wanted to do, what he wanted to watch. No Baylee needs to figure out who she is and
what she wants. Her first morning there
she takes her dog, Scout, for a walk in the park across the street from her
condo. Sport runs off and finds a
girlfriend. She follows him and winds up
bumping into a man and gives him a bloody nose.
There is just something about him.
She is instantly attracted to him.
His name is Sebby. She begins to
meet him there every morning and loves how they have an instant connection. They can talk so easily and have lots in
common. She learns later that he is her
neighbor. She finds out the he has a
girlfriend. She lives in New York and
they have been dating for a few years.
This allows Baylee to show him a different side of her. There is no pressure because there can’t be
more between them. That doesn’t mean she
isn’t still attracted to him. Sebby and
Baylee wind up spending a lot of time together.
They have a wonderfully easy relationship even if it’s just a friendship
and not more. All the characters in
this book are fantastic. The group of
people she makes friends with who live in the building are wonderfully
diverse. They are there for each other
and help Baylee learn who she really wants to be. I can’t say enough about this book. Sebby and Baylee begin as friends and build
quickly on that. While Baylee is sure of
her feelings for Sebby and wishes for more she is unsure of how Sebby
feels. She isn’t sure if she is reading
more into some things than is really there for him. She does try to go on other dates, 2 of them
didn’t go well. Then one she was really
into and hoped that he would make her forget about Sebby. I love Baylee and this journey she took on
this book. She grew so much during this
book. I would love to read more about
Sebby and Baylee and their next journey.
