Disgrace, an all-new romantic and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available NOW!

Synopsis:

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.

After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.

I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.

All I wanted was for him to come back to me.

Then, Jackson Emery appeared.

He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.

We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.

Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.

I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.

When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.

I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…

I prayed for him to be mine.

Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.

Excerpt:

Jackson “I’ve read about boys like you in books, ya know,” she whispered, her fingers slowly spinning spirals on my chest. “Oh, yeah? What did those books teach you about boys like me?” “Well…” She bit her bottom lip, and with a small inhalation, she whispered, “They taught me to stay away.” “Then why are you so close?” She tilted her head up, looking me straight in the eyes. “Because in those stories, the heroine never ever listens.” “And then there’s trouble?” I asked. “Yes, and then there’s trouble.” From the way she said those words, I knew trouble was exactly what she was in search of. We were the classic cliché. She was the good girl next door, I the monster from around the block. We were perfect opposites for the perfect storm, and she was asking me to be her next flaw, her greatest mistake. And, well, who was I not to live up to her request? “I could destroy you,” I warned. “Or save me.” “Is it worth the risk?” “Isn’t it always worth the risk?” The more she touched me, the more I wanted to touch her back. I wrapped my hands around her wrists flipping us around so she was now against the wall with her hands above her head. “I have rules.” I leaned in closer, lightly brushing my lips against her neck. God, she smelled good, like peaches and my next sin. “You can’t break these rules, either.” My tongue rolled from my mouth and circled against her neck before I gently sucked her skin. She shivered at my touch. “What are they?” “Rule one,” I whispered, my mouth moving across her collarbone. “You never stay the night.” “Check.” “Rule number two,” I said, dropping her left arm to the side. Taking my hand to the bottom of her blouse, I slowly raised it up and massaged her skin. “You never develop feelings.” “That’s easy enough,” she replied, her breaths uneven as I teased at the top button on her jeans. “I don’t believe in feelings anymore.” I didn’t know why, but that made me sad for her. I, too, didn’t believe in falling for people, but that was my norm. Grace seemed the type to believe in something bigger than love, so the fact that her belief was completely gone was a bit surprising. Maybe we had more in common than I thought. “Rule number three…we don’t talk about my life.” “Like ever?” “Never.” “Okay.” “And lastly, rule number four…” My mouth brushed against hers, and I slid my tongue slowly across her bottom lip. “If your favorite pair of panties get ripped, don’t expect me to replace them.”

My Review:

5* Favorite!

Sometimes, all a person needed was another to listen to their uneven heartbeats.

Disgrace is a beautiful, heartbreaking love story. I loved it! I finished it in record time!

Love was a messy emotion that didn't walk a straight line. It worked in waves and loops of ups and downs. It was a screwy emotion that could somehow still exist amidst the ultimate heartbreak and betrayal.

I loved that the book was written in dual POVs.

Grace is a lovable character, she went through a lot. She had a handsome husband, Finn. They were together for 15 years, she thought she found her happily ever after. But after 15 years Finn left her. He betrayed her. First she wanted him back because she loved him so much, but later she found out who Finn really is. It was hard for her. She didn't know who she was. Grace's character was so well-written, I could imagine how she felt. I felt the love, the dissapointment, the sadness and helplessness too. She felt lost, she didn't know who she was. Then she met Jackson...

It's okay to love someone even though they wronged you. You can't pretend your feelings don't exist because you're afraid of what those feelings might mean. Sometimes, the hardest thing in the world is to love someone who broke your heart.

While Grace was the good girl, the pastor's daughter, Jackson was the black sheep. He had a rough childhood, he lost his mother, and his father was an alcoholic. He cared about him, and worked in his father's garage as a mechanic. For the outside world he was a monster. But he was more. He was as sad and lost, as Grace.

They found each other, first it was supposed to be a fling, it was just sex and lust between them, but later everything changed.

Careful. Once you start hanging out with the black sheep of the town, your wool starts shifting to a darker shade.

I loved how they opened up for each other. They started to develope a friendship. They were perfect for each other, because they understood the other. I loved to read how their relationship developed. While they found each other, they found themselves too.

In his darkness, I found my light.

Falling for someone isn't hard. It's the easiest thing in the world. It's all the other things that surround the fall that make it hard.

This story not just about falling in love with the right person, it was about finding ourselves too.

Because love-real love- didn't mean always holding the same beliefs. It didn't mean we had to see eye to eye on every subject. Yet what it did mean, what real love stood for was mutual understanding. A respect for one another's dreams and hopes and wishes and fears. (...) We took the time to learn how each of our hearts beat, and in that journey, we learned that often times, in the most important moments of the night, that our hearts? Our hearts beat in sync.

And it was about family too. I loved how Jackson cared about his father despite the fact that it seemed he didn't deserve it. But he was Jackson's father after all, I could understood Jackson. Or the relationship between Grace and her mother was interesting, Grace's mother was so cold to Grace, but finally we could understood her too.

Do you want someone's love by keeping secrets from them, or do you want their full love when they see all your flaws?

I loved this story. Brittainy C. Cherry never dissapoints me. This book became favorite!

Véleméyem:

5 csillagos, kedvenc könyvet avattam!
Ez a könyv egy nagyon szép szerelmi történet! Imádtam! Nagyon hamar elolvastam. Nagyon tetszett, hogy kettős nézőpontból íródott.
Grace nagyon szerethető karakter volt. Szegény sok mindenen ment keresztül. Volt egy helyes orvos férje, azt hitte vele fogja leélni az életét. Boldogok voltak, majd 15 év után Finn elhagyta, elárulta. Teljesen összetört a szíve, de először azt akarta, hogy visszajöjjön hozzá a férje, annyira szerette. Ahogy telt az idő végül rájött ki Finn valójában. Nagyon nehéz volt neki, mert azt sem tudta, hogy ki ő valójában, Finn nélkül, eddigi élete nélkül elveszett volt. Annyira jól megírt karakterről van szó, hogy teljesen átéreztem min mehetett keresztül, mit érezhetett. Éreztem a szerelmet, a csalódást, a tehetetlenséget, a szomorúságot. Teljesen elveszett és összetört volt. Mindaddig míg nem találkozott Jacksonnal.
Míg Grace volt a a helyi jó kislány, a pap lánya, addig Jackson volt a helyi fekete bárány. Nehéz gyerekkora volt, elvesztette anyját, majd apja alkoholista lett. Ennek ellenére törődött vele, és az apja műhelyében dolgozott autószerelőként, ellátta apját, életben tartotta őt. A külvilág csak egy szörnyetegnek tekintette, de ennél több volt, jó ember volt, de ő is annyira elveszett és összetört volt mint Grace.
Éppen ezért találtak egymásra. Kapcsolatuk egy nyári románcnak indult, csak szex volt eleinte. De aztán bekavartak az érzelmek...
Egyre jobban megnyíltak egymásnak, és barátság alakult ki közöttük. Tökéletesek voltak együtt, mert megértették a másikat. nagyon tetszett, ahogy lassacskán kialakult a kapcsolatuk. Azalatt míg egymást megismerték, megismerték saját magukat is.
Ez a könyv nem csak a szerelemről szól, hanem, hogy hogyan találta meg a két főhős önmagát. De szól családról is, a család iránt érzett szeretetről is. Nagyon tetszett, ahogy Jackson törődött édesapjával, akkor is amikor úgy tűnt az nem érdemli meg, vagy nagyon érdekes volt Grace és anyja kapcsolata, aki folyton rideg volt vele. De a könyv végére minden érthető, mindennek az okára fény derül.
Nagyon tetszett ez a könyv, Brittainy C. Cherry soha nem okoz csalódást! Csak ajánlani tudom!
