All the Way to Heaven - Becky Doughty - Book Blitz


All the Way to Heaven
Becky Doughty
(The Fallout Series, #1)
Published by: Clean Teen Publishing
Publication date: November 2nd 2015
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Anica Tomlin, business major, has just learned that the man she’s been planning her future around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early—a trip to Tuscany—but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.
When a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in his family’s country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the Lazzaro olive groves. But it’s been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before.
Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the desires of her own heart.
Although All the Way to Heaven is a stand-alone novel, it is the first book in The Fallout Series, a collection of sweet contemporary romances that follow characters featured in the first book.

EXCERPT:
He lay on his back, ankles crossed, fingers laced together over his chest, completely relaxed. His face was smooth of the lines of worry he usually sported, and I could see a pulse beating slow and steady just under his jaw. One corner of his mouth was hitched up in the beginning of a smile, so even though his eyes were closed against the sunlight overhead, I knew he knew I was looking at him. I reached out and ran my finger along the angle of his jaw, unable to keep from touching him. Just as it reached his chin, he dipped his head and caught my finger between his teeth, making me squeal more in surprise than pain. It did hurt though, and I pulled my hand free, but he grabbed my wrist and rolled onto his side to face me.
He brought my hand back to his mouth and began kissing each finger, one at a time, then my palm, my wrist, the inside of my forearm, the crook of my elbow.
I watched, transfixed, as he bent to the task, his lips trailing a path up my inner arm to my shoulder, his dark curls falling forward to cover his face. Then I closed my eyes and tipped my head back as he ran kisses up my neck and along my jaw.
“Ani.” His breath was warm on my throat.
“Hmm?” The sound came out slowly.
“How do you feel about long distance relationships?”
