Now Available | Standalone Novel

Book Blurb:

A second chance romance.

What happens when you fall for the boy next door?

Bea Norwood had the market on normal.

Drama free life? Check.

A single-mother who doubled as her confidant and partner in crime? Check.

A neighbor and best friend she trusted more than anyone? Check.

But that was until the day her mother remarried. The day that changed everything.

When her best friend's cousin, Liam Falcon, is sent to live with his aunt and uncle to clean up his act, Bea finds herself falling for the boy next door. With their hearts so infinitely entwined, Bea turns to Liam as her only escape from her new step-brother's daily torment at home. Bea thought their love could conquer anything. But she was wrong. Love was for fools, and she was the biggest fool of them all. When Liam left Lakeport, he took her heart with him, shattering the organ to pieces.

Six years later, Liam takes a trip back to Lakeport to visit his family, and to see HER.

His first love.

The girl who holds his heart.

The same girl who shattered it six years ago without looking back.

Liam is hell-bent on seeing Bea again after six years, but what he finds tears his heart in half. Bea Norwood is a shell of the girl he fell in love with. Underneath the baggy clothes, and pale skin, he knows she's still in there somewhere, he just needs to find her.

Liam will stop at nothing to win his girl back, but sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and Liam isn't prepared for Bea's truth.

I mean, WOW!!! S.M. Soto is knocking these books completely outta the park lately! Ache is insanely emotional! I just… I don’t even know what to say about this book. ACHE is thought-provoking and incredibly sad. I ACHED! Bea’s life was everything she wanted, until it wasn’t. This book shows you exactly what CAN happen when life changes. Sometimes it’s nothing… it’s a new boy in town, it’s a relative that spends the summer with his/her cousins, it’s your mom/dad remarrying. There are a million tiny and large things that can change your life, for the better and for the worse. Soto shows us the bad side. The bad side hurt my heart… a lot! I think I’m going to stop here but I’d say if you have abuse triggers than you should either skip this one or go in super slowly and be aware you are walking into a ton of heartACHE!!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

COVER REVEAL: In Harmony by Emma Scott


 
In Harmony by Emma Scott
Release Date: Tuesday, February 13, 2018


Preorder Links
Amazon Universal: myBook.to/InHarmony

Blurb: 

The root of all madness is an unbearable truth…

At seventeen, Willow Holloway’s life was torn apart. The happy, driven girl is gone, and she is left wracked by post-traumatic stress her body remembers even if she does not. When her father suddenly uproots the family from their posh penthouse in New York City to the tiny town of Harmony, Indiana, Willow becomes more untethered and lost under the weight of her secret. On a whim, she auditions for a part in the community theater’s production of Hamlet and unexpectedly wins the role of Ophelia—the girl who is undone by madness, and her love of Hamlet… 

Isaac Pierce is from the ‘wrong side of the tracks.’ The town bad boy. Girls pine for his attention and guys are in awe of him. That he’s an acting prodigy only adds to his charisma. Isaac utterly disappears into his characters; the stage is the only place he feels safe from his own traumatic home life. He wants nothing more than to escape to Broadway or Hollywood, and leave Harmony behind for good. 

No one can play Hamlet but Isaac, and when the director pairs him with Willow in acting class, they clash again and again—neither willing to open their hearts to anyone. But clashing leads to breaking, breaking leads to the spilling of terrible secrets, and soon Isaac and Willow find Shakespeare’s words mirroring their lives. When they are cruelly torn apart, neither know how this play will end—with madness and heartache? Or healing, love, and the discovery of who they are truly meant to be. 

In Harmony is a standalone NEW ADULT love story, and is intended for readers 18 and up. PLEASE NOTE, this book contains sensitive material such as physical abuse, and the aftermath of sexual assault (off the page). Reader discretion is advised.

What a great read! This is a Young Adult book, which is not my normal genre, but I’m open to read anything as long as it’s good. This book had everything, and I mean everything you want in a book!!! I adored that it was lacking in sex scenes!! I, personally, don’t need the sex to enjoy a book. I want sustenance and this book has it! I cried (several times), I laughed, I sighed, I cringed, I sniffled… but I just loved all of MA Foster’s words!

Now when I say this book has everything… it does… we have the total bad ass rock legend everyone wants to be, death, adultery, abusive relationships, catty teenage girls, girl fights, love, sweet words, happiness, trust, learning to live again, learning to trust again, growing up, following dreams, making new dreams… there’s just everything! I think there might have been more drama from the adults than the teenagers though, and that made me laugh really hard!

This is really a coming of age book. Some of the characters were extremely relatable. I could have seen my teenage self enjoying them. The two main characters, Jaybird and Zach, were fantastic. Zach was a really sweet guy. This book is definitely about Jaybird though. Even though Jaybird is the daughter of this huge rock star she isn’t full of herself and self-absorbed. I really am thankful for that. Lexi is the comic relief that was so needed and I was completely smitten with her!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
