LONNIE
I came to Tennessee to help a friend.
And now, I’m stuck.
By the Southern charm,
By the sweet tea and
By a tall, red-headed "Strawberry
Shortcake."
And when my world crumbles apart,
Wynn is there to help me pick up the pieces.
To show me the way.
WYNN
My life was a huge disappointment.
My marriage,
My job,
Everything slipped away.

Lonnie Brennan, the sexy bass player,
Who adds laughter to my life.
And now, I realize that I can
Change my tune,
Sing a new song.

MY
LIFE AS A MIXTAPE Excerpt
Copyright
© 2018 LJ Evans
“Okay. But being
twenty-five,” she emphasized her age like I should have known it.
“And already having a divorce under your belt doesn’t bode well
for any future endeavors.”
I turned back to the
sky because looking at her was harder than I could have ever
expected.
“One mistake
doesn’t make you a failure,” I replied automatically but
truthfully.
She didn’t
respond, and we just laid there watching the stars wink into
existence in a way I never got to see in L.A. Here in this part of
Tennessee, they were out nightly. And here at the lake, they were
stunning. Like her, glimmering...shiny...heart wrenching.
“Look at it this
way,” I told her. “Now you get to have a whole bunch more
firsts.”
“What?” she
asked. I could feel her looking at me now, and I risked turning my
head to meet her eyes. They were so pale that it was hard to see them
in the darkness that had settled over us as the sun disappeared.
“You know. First
time getting drunk...after the divorce. Well, hell, you already did
that.” She smiled weakly, and I continued. “How about first
date...after the divorce? First kiss...after the divorce. First time
making love...after the divorce. It’s like you get a whole shitload
of do-overs now but with more experience than you had when you did
those things the first time. You can do them better than you did them
as a kid.”
She held her breath
at my words and stared at me.
Then she leaned
slightly forward and kissed my cheek. Her lips hit my skin and filled
me with a scent of berries and lake and I had to clench my fingers
into my fist to prevent myself from pulling her all the way to me and
devouring all of her, not just those sweet, full lips.
“Thank you,” she
breathed out as she settled back on the dock and stared at the night.
“For what?”
“For trying to
make me feel better. For reminding me that there’s more to life
than this moment.”
But as soon as she
said it, I was struck with a longing I don’t normally have. A
longing to have this particular moment last forever. Because laying
on the dock in the dusk with this beautiful creature might be
something I could do three hundred and sixty-five days a year. And
that was definitely not in any of my plans.

Review: First of all, I love the concept of this series, and I seriously have to read them all now because all the characters in the past books are here and I'd love to get to know them more from there books.
Its a wonderful slow burn romance that is simply perfect. I love Lonnie and Wynn. I also love how different they are. Wynn is getting over a divorce and doesn't really want a relationship and Lonnie has life and the band to deal with too.
I can only say that this is a fabulous read.

About
LJ Evans:
Award
winning author, LJ Evans, lives in the California Central Valley with
her husband, daughter, and the three terrors called cats. She's been
writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will
often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. While
she currently spends her days teaching 1st grade in a local public
school, she spends her free time reading and writing, as well as
binge watching original shows like The Crown, Victoria, and Stranger
Things.
If
you ask her the one thing she won’t do, it’s pretty much anything
that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves
to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine
was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis. Which is exactly
what LJ loves about fiction novels—the characters can be everything
you’re not and still make their way into your heart.
