KJ and Alli finally got their fairytale ending.
          	
          	After chaos, heartbreak, long distance, jealousy, public scandals, and one very dramatic road to forever, they're finally married and back where it all started-Savannah, Georgia. KJ has left the Yankees behind for good, Alli is thriving as the Bananas' social media manager, and for the first time in a long time, life finally feels... stable.
          	
          	Which is exactly why they should've known it wouldn't stay that way.
          	
          	With the Banana Ball draft bringing in a wave of new players, staff members, and two brand-new teams, the organization is changing faster than ever. Alli suddenly finds herself dealing with difficult personalities, nonstop chaos, and new employees who don't exactly make her job easy. KJ, meanwhile, slips right back into being the golden boy of Banana Ball like he never left-loved by the fans, adored by the media, and somehow still capable of turning every room into his own personal spotlight.
          	
          	But between nonstop travel, new teammates, overwhelming expectations, and everyone around them starts asking the same question-when are they going to start a family?-the pressure on their marriage begins to build in ways neither of them expected.
          	
          	Because loving each other has never been the problem.
          	
          	It's everything else that comes with it.
          	
          	In the fifth installment of the Banana Ball Love Story series, Alli and KJ are about to learn that sometimes the hardest part of a love story isn't falling in love-

Hey babies 
          
          Soooo I took a tiny little break after writing the wedding because holy shit  that genuinely took it OUT of me emotionally. Like I think I blacked out writing it.
          
          Anyways, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but… we are getting dangerously close to the end of this book 
          
          So I need opinions on how this book should wind down.
          
          Do y’all want more wedding content first? Reception, speeches, first dances, afterparty chaos, all the cute emotional stuff?
          
          ORRRR should we skip straight to the honeymoon because y’all are a bunch of little freaks  WHICH I RESPECT because honestly… same.
          
          So. What are we feeling

Hi lovelies! 
          
          There’s officially a little behind-the-scenes exclusive of Alli getting ready for her wedding day over on my TikTok page (@alli21842) ✨
          
          If you wanna see some special moments from our girl’s big day, go check it out!
          
          P.S. — before y’all ask… no, I do not know when the actual wedding chapters are coming yet  I’m trying, I swear. I’ve just had these pictures for months and figured it was finally time to share them.

Dakotadaniellesteed

I loved the pictures. I can’t wait!! ❤️ Take all the time you need.

Okay… we did it ‍
          
          KJ did the impossible.
          Like actually. Insane behavior. Unwell. Legendary.
          
          And yes… that means he and Alli get to have the wedding of their dreams 
          
          BUT—
          
          Y’all don’t really need all that, right?
          Like… we can just end it here.
          You can use your imaginations.
          Fill in the blanks.
          
          Right? 
          
          …
          
          No?
          
          You’re really gonna make me write a whole wedding? 
          
          Okay. Fine. I’ll get to work ‍
          
          BUT I’m gonna be so honest—I have not started those chapters yet. Not even a little bit. So I have no idea when they’re coming. Y’all are gonna have to be patient with me on this one.
          
          In the meantime… go reread the 270 chapters I’ve already emotionally destroyed you with or something idk ‍♀️
          
          As always, I’ll try to keep you updated… but you know the drill.
          I post when I post 
          
          Thank you guys for all the love and support—you have no idea how much it means

Hey! Could you put text to speech on ur books? I absolutely love the story and still want to read it as much as possible. 

bucket-of-kerosene

@azutz08 Hey, babe! I'm so so so happy that you love my books! 
            
            From what I’ve been able to find, text-to-speech is still a beta feature on Wattpad and it’s something they’ve only enabled for select stories. As far as I can tell, it’s not something authors can add themselves. This is what I found:
            
            "Text-to-speech is a beta feature on Wattpad and it was added to thousands of stories written in English. This allowed us to explore this feature and understand its potential to improve the reading experience on Wattpad.
            
            We'll be rolling this feature out to additional English stories and exploring its potential to improve the reading experience for users. Please note that it’s also not possible for Wattpadders to add the #texttospeech tag to their stories as this tag is reserved for stories that had the feature enabled by us." 
            
            If I’m wrong or if you know of a workaround, please let me know! I would love to be able to enable text-to-speech for all my books and make them more accessible for you. ❤️

Okay. So.
          
          I have officially started a new “book.”
          
          It’s called Kiss & Tell and it’s exactly what you think it is — a compilation of smutty one shots that were previously living in my private little vault.
          
          Since I drunkenly confessed to having a personal collection of chapters I “couldn’t include” in my actual books, y’all were deeply offended that I wasn’t sharing. The betrayal. The outrage. The drama.
          
          So here you go.
          
          Before anyone panics — yes, I am absolutely still continuing Alli & KJ’s love story. I know updates haven’t been as frequent lately… that’s on me. I’ll step it up, promise. Their story is forever.
          
          Now for the very clear disclaimer:
          
          This is pure smut.
          
          No slow-burn plot babysitting. No emotional training wheels. Just unfiltered, spicy one shots. If that’s not your thing? Totally fair. Protect your peace. Exit gracefully.
          
          This one is for my feral little freaks.
          
          Also — some of these might be… a lot. So I don’t want to hear it later. You were warned. I gave you the disclaimer. Proceed with caution.
          
          And yes… I take requests.
          
          If there’s something specific you want to see, email me at misstaylor613@gmail.com or slide into my DMs on TikTok (@alli21842) or Instagram (@misstaylor613). Give me the details. The tropes. The chaos. I’m listening.
          
          Kiss & Tell is live.
          Behave accordingly.

Hi my loves. It’s Valentine’s Day.
          
          And fun fact before we get emotional: it’s not just a holiday I love, it’s one Alli loves too (you’ll catch that little detail in book two). Consider it a tiny, harmless author cameo.
          
          I know this day hits everyone differently. Some people adore it. Some people think it’s a corporate, pink-washed money grab. Both takes are valid.
          
          Me? I love it. Just not for the usual reasons.
          
          I’ve lost two people on this day, so Valentine’s Day has always been a little bittersweet for me. It’s a day of reflection and remembrance—not just for the people I lost on this date, but for everyone I’ve loved and lost along the way. It’s also a reminder to pause and appreciate the people I still have.
          
          At the end of the day, who cares if it’s a Hallmark holiday. If there’s even the smallest excuse to love people louder, take it. Hug your people tighter. Say “I love you” more than necessary. You never regret loving too much—only the times you didn’t say it.
          
          I know I’d give anything to say it one more time.
          
          And truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the constant love and support you’ve shown me and these books. The fact that we’re on book four is absolutely unreal to me. None of this exists without you—your messages, your patience, your excitement, your trust in these stories and these characters. You show up every time, and lately that’s meant more to me than I can put into words. I’ve been going through it, and knowing I have this community behind me has been grounding in the best way.
          
          I love you all so much.
          Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
