I Heart Books: “How do I say this without sounding totally cheesy? Trudy Stiles has cemented herself as one of the big dogs in the world of indie authors with this one. Just amazing. Perfect ending to the series. Perfect way for things to come full circle. Fantastic.”
Tabby, Tantalizing Reviews: “Trudy Stiles wrote a series where not one but all the characters involved will forever hold a special place in my heart. I so much enjoyed experiencing every heartbreak and triumph that these characters went through.”
Robin Segnitz: “Dear Juliet is about lifelong friendship. Healing. Redemption. It’s a story about best friends who become lovers. It’s an emotional story. There were times the story was very sad, and I really struggled with what Seth and Juliet were experiencing. Please follow these characters through the years, and I promise you will be rewarded. I finished this novel with a huge smile on my face!”
T Tbird London: “I have always loved that Trudy’s books are based on adoption. The beauty and miracle of adoption is shown at all angles with her series, but she also shows the heart break and emotion that comes along with such a choice. I was constantly reminded in Dear Juliet how our choices as parents will affect our children at some point. Our response to loss, be it death or abandonment will leave either a lasting scar or a positive message with our children. This is what Juliet found out. Being loved by her adoptive parents was vital, but feeling like the one person who was supposed to love and want you didn’t, never let her freely be the woman she was meant to be.”
Jade, Blushing Babes Up All Night: “Excellent Job Trudy! The writing of this beauty was completely worth it because you NAILED IT! You twisted my perceptions of characters I previously met and made me like them... love them even. BEAUTIFUL!”
Synopsis
This book is not suitable for young readers. It is intended for mature adults only (18+). It contains strong language, adult/sexual situations and potential trigger subject matter.
Garrett Armstrong, the lead guitarist of Epic Fail, womanizer and not-so-nice guy, leaves a trail of women in his wake. A recent one-night stand wreaks havoc and turns his present completely upside down. He’s faced with a reality that he never expected. Never wanted.
Samantha Weston can’t escape the black cloud that follows her. She suffered an unspeakable loss as a teenager and has been climbing uphill ever since. As soon as her life starts to become manageable, she’s slammed with another tragic event, forcing her to abandon the only thing in life that she cherishes.
A heartbreaking situation throws this unlikely pair together. They’re forced to face things that seem impossible. Can Sam get past the demons that haunt her? Can Garrett accept a fate he swore to avoid at all costs?
Can they conquer the sins that are poised to destroy them, or will they become an Epic Fail?
Epic Sins is the first book of the Epic Fail series, a spinoff of The Forever Family series.
Reading The Forever Family series is not required as these are all spinoff/standalone novels, but it may enhance your experience.

Every book of mine plays out to a soundtrack in my head. This book was written while listening to Marilyn Manson and Royal Blood on constant repeat.
