As You Wish Reviews: The Impostor by Tiffany Carmouché

Tiffany Carmouché

Hi my name is Tiffany Carmouché. I am the author of the Alaska trilogy. Much of The Impostor, A Love Story and Obsession and Sacrifice take place in Alaska. Why Alaska? I chose Alaska because it is the most beautiful place I have ever truly experienced and the men are amazing. When you arrive, it is almost as if you have jumped into a masterpiece and a serenity takes over that makes you remember how to truly live.

I will never forget the first time I was flying into Kodiac, Alaska with a friend of mine. I had met Sarah in Anchorage and we decided to visit some friends of ours who lived on the island. Sarah was beautiful, just a little taller than me, maybe 5’2. Her long blonde hair cascaded down her back and heads turned as she sat there in the terminal.

Me & My Best Friend Julie

The winds were high and the flight had been canceled many times. Hours passed but finally the flight opened up and we took our seats on the tiny plane. As we taxied down the runway Sarah popped out of her seat. Her big blue eyes opened wide and she screamed in her thick German accent , “Stop the plane! Stop the plane!”

The stewardess informed her she needed to remain seated and it was impossible to abort the flight because we were ready to take off but Sarah did not calm down. I slouched in my seat, sure we would soon be attacked with apples or some other flying objects by the passengers who were eager to fly.

“Stop the plane!” she shrieked and she rushed the cock pit with her arms flailing as she pleaded with them to turn the plane around. The door to the cock pit opened and all of the gadgets and instruments lit up. I examined the pilot as he turned his head to address the situation.

Me & My Best Friend Julie

I don’t know how, but this little 5’2 German woman got them to bring us back to the terminal. I have to say we were probably not the most popular people aboard and I am sure most of the passengers were cussing us under their breath. But a few things stuck out to me from this experience.

One, the winds were still very high. What if turning the plane around and having the flight delayed actually saved the people aboard? I will never know. Going aboard I wasn’t afraid but getting off the plane with her I started to wonder. What if I could have died if I had taken that flight? It makes you look at things differently. I learned to cherish every moment.

But most of all, I remember feeling a sense of awe. One that those little instruments that lit up in the cock pit made a four thousand pound object soar through the air. And I knew one day I would learn how to fly. But even more amazing to me was that this little meek woman stopped a plane and made a pilot turn around.

Yes, I learned Sarah was not the best travel companion but I also realized we are powerful beyond measure. I went to Alaska a young, naïve, single mom who wanted to rediscover herself, much like Nicole from the trilogy. And I learned from my beautiful little German friend, that we are in charge of our destiny! I would love for you to join me on the journey of Nicole in this Suspenseful Romantic Trilogy. Perhaps it is destiny that our paths have crossed. It is truly nice to meet you! Live, laugh and love!

"The Impostor, A Love Story is inspired by true events. I did escape to Alaska with my best friend Julie to get away from an abusive relationship. The pictures above are of me and Julie as we left everything we knew to journey to the Last Frontier."

The Impostor, A Love Story is the first novel in a suspenseful romantic trilogy about unexpected love and a woman’s fight for survival. It is a captivating story of growth, acceptance, and the perseverance to begin again.

“Alaska? Who goes to Alaska?” Nicole, a young single mother, escapes an abusive ex-boyfriend and leaves behind the broken dreams of becoming an artist. She travels to Alaska, a place she knows little about, on a journey of self-discovery.

Nicole is scared of getting hurt again, but Dylan’s chiseled body, chocolate-brown eyes and charm captivate her. She begins to fall in love. In Alaska, she discovers the power of friendship and true love and starts to let down her guard. But is her security a facade?

Soon Nicole’s innocent beauty taunts a sinister man, and she is caught in a web of deception and danger. Someone evil is stalking her. Someone she had trusted. Will she be saved? Or will she be hunted?

“The Impostor is not just a romance, not just a mystery but an insight into the ideals and dreams of women, as well as their struggles and fears.” Aleta O’brien, Fluer De Aleta

Review

Tiffany Carmouché really knows how to tell a story about adventure, love, obstacles and life of a single mother trying to break away. There are moments of laughter and moments of suspense. The friendships and character bonding throughout the story is amazing. I became completely wrapped up in this love story. The mystery of what was going to happen next as well as the heart felt touching moments of Nicole's journey to Alaska with her friend. There is only so much a woman can take when in an abusive relationship and it takes time to heal the broken heart. Trusting is not always the easiest thing to do when there are past burdens. Dylan takes that way and gains the trust of Nicole with his charm and chiseled body, who could resist.

I would recommend The Impostor, A Love Story to those that love romance, suspense and the mystery of it all. There were so many moments that I wanted tried to guess what would happen next and failed to be right and other times when I was right. I fell head over heals for Dylan and at times wanted nothing more than to be wrapped in his arms. I cannot wait to read the next book and will be holding my breath until then... A wonderful ending to an amazing book leaving me wanting more and impatiently waiting to read the first page of Obsession & Sacrifice.
