In Paris, he was abandoned as she created a masterpiece.
In New Mexico, she found inspiration all while he couldn’t write a single lyric.
In New York, he was given an ultimatum just as she ignored her agent’s emails.
In Colorado, everything changed.

Zona Carver finds inspiration for her novels in unlikely places, but when she decides to go see Sebastian March in concert, she doesn’t expect to inspire him. On a whim, he asks her to go on tour, but Zona has a complicated past with the music business and returning to her old life leaves her feeling uncertain.

Before she can worry about the consequences of her actions, she’s packing up her entire life and hopping on a bus with Sebastian.

City by city, words are written, and memories are made, but the past has a pesky way of catching up to you.

What happens on the road, doesn’t always stay there, and hopefully they can survive the wild ride.

Excerpt

Sebastian clutched my hand with a tougher grip, his concerned eyes turning a deeper shade of brown, nearly onyx. “Your bravery astounds me.”
My eyebrows crinkled and I looked into his eyes, searching for his own lie, but I came up short. “I’m not brave, Sebastian.”
He scoffed, his other hand settling on my hip. The air around us grew dense with electricity, nearly suffocating me.
The euphoria from standing up to Lana and the passionate gaze coming from Sebastian nearly sucked the life from my insides. I reveled in it.
He released one of my hands and slowly reached for me, his fingers lightly tracing my jaw. “You have no idea the impact you have.” He stared intently at my neck, his eyes opening wide as I swallowed. His teeth bit at the inside of his cheek just as his grip landed on my shoulder – kneading his fingers into my goose bumped skin. “Please don’t question your bravery.”
I sucked in a breath, the release shaky.
His face inched closer to me, his minty exhale cascading over my face. Suddenly, I was grossly aware of our closeness and the fact that I didn’t want to push him away. I wanted him closer. Needed him to touch me.
The hand on my shoulder moved to the side of my neck, his strong, calloused fingers tangling in my curly hair. Air entered my lungs in short bursts, and I hoped he didn’t notice.
Trailing my open hand up his arm, the veins and muscles contracted under my touch.
“Stop me, Zona,” he breathed, his lips ghosting the skin near my earlobe.
I shook my head, tilting back to give him better access to whatever he wanted.
Stop him? There was a chance I was going to forget how to breathe. It felt as if all of our quiet moments had led up to this one. It felt out-of-the-blue and so incredibly right.
He snickered, the small puffs of air escaping his mouth jolting me slightly.
I clung to him, yearning for the smallest touch.
“Good,” he said, right before he pulled me close, his lips barely touching my skin.

Review: I'm not usually a rock star romance kinda girl, unless it feels like the glamorous Jackie Collins reads I devoured back in the 80s.

That said, Cassie Graham's Thank You, Next Chapter actually hit the spot with me because it wasn't that way. It was a light,breezy, fun read. That's how you have to read it, because if you let in thoughts of the real world it will spoil it for you.

Sebastian is the kind of hero we all want.  He is a golden boy. 23 and a superstar and very grounded. This is where you have to step into fantasy land  because as a girl that followed the careers of many rock stars (and I've read so many) Sebastian's life is just way too perfect to be real.

Then there's Zona. Uh she's 30...going on 23. I love her for all her quirky weirdness and that a romance novelist gets to write a rock star bio. Again..rock star is 23.

I'm just going to ignore that and go to la la land, because the love story between these two is precious. Complete with evil exes and psycho back up singers.

Sebastian and Zona had great chemistry from the start and they were such great characters, making this a perfect summer read, for a girl that's had an attention span of a fruit fly when it comes to books right now.

A chocolate mistress, Cassie Graham is a born and raised Arizona girl. Her sass knows no bounds and almost always has something kind to say, no matter the situation. She runs a platform of love and strives to bring those attributes out in every book she writes.

She started writing early in her high school career after an English teacher forced her to write in a journal. Four years and thirty-something notebooks full of words later, she found her passion.

If Cassie isn't shoulder-deep in writing a version of a fairytale, you can find her front porch sitting with her husband and daughter, eating all the bread, gossiping with her best friends, visiting Disneyland, supporting strong women, listening to cheesy music and reading great books by amazing people. She loves binge-watching Supernatural, drooling over Dean, Sam and Cas, and going to conventions. She also enjoys spreading love any chance she can. So, if you run into her, give her a hug or a high-five. She guarantees they're magic.

Give Me Books Promotions Book Review: The Girl Behind The Red Door




Title: The Girl Behind the Red Door
Author: Cassie Graham
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: May 11, 2018



Blurb

British. Charming. Virgin.

Reed Windsor doesn’t do relationships. Though he could charm the pants off any girl he wants, he’s not interested. He’s always been too captivated by a special someone from his past to get serious with anyone else. Sure, she has no clue he exists, but he’s willing to bide his time and convince her he’s worth a shot.

Sassy. Beautiful. Way out of his league.

Charlie Oded is full of baggage – being left at the altar will do that to a woman. Having zero time for distractions, she’s not looking for . . . well, anything. She needs time to heal her heart, not another guy to string her along. Which is why when she meets the alluring Reed, she’s determined to keep things friendly.

But he makes her heart race and she makes him want to settle down.

And neither of them wants to walk away.

Reed’s never wanted a relationship, but Charlie’s changed the game, and he’s willing to play if she is.

Review: Ah, this book is just sweet, almost cavity inducing sweet. It is also part of the reason why I'm drifting back into romance novels. This book was different, and when it comes to romance, I need something that is different.

So what's different about this book?

1. Charlie, our heroine is 5 years older than Reed. I have to admit I wasn't sure how I felt about it, because my logical brain kept saying, he's still in college and she has a business how is this going to work? But it does and I love them both.

2. One of them's a Virgin....and it isn't Charlie.

3. Charlie is really a fun character. She's not wishy washy. She has friends besides her guy.

4. Anakin the chinchilla. I mean...what book has a chinchilla in it?

5. Reed has had a crush on Charlie since he was about 12! How sweet is that?

Charlie was left at the altar so she's a bit skittish about getting involved, but it is pretty hard to resist someone as perfect as Reed. Reed is my third book boyfriend this year. I'm starting a collection of them!

The little bit of conflict at the end was the only thing that didn't sit well with me. There are lies that are meant to hurt and lies that are just simple white lies that do no harm. Charlie was a little bit dramatic and she dragged her anger out for a very long time when it was obvious Reed loved her.

This was the first book by Cassie Graham I've read, and I look forward to reading more!

A Moscato aficionado, and chocolate mistress, Cassie Graham is a born and raised Arizona girl. Her sass knows no bounds and almost always has something kind to say, no matter the situation. She runs a platform of love and strives to bring those attributes out in every book she writes.

Cassie studied English and literature in college and has an intense love for fairytales. Go figure. Though she loves a good fairytale, she promises to always put her characters through the wringer for that happy ending. She started writing early in her high school career after an English teacher forced her to write in a journal. Four years and thirty-something notebooks full of words later, she found her passion.

If Cassie isn't shoulder-deep in writing a version of a fairytale, you can find her front porch sitting with her husband and daughter, eating all the bread, gossiping with her best friends, visiting Disneyland, supporting strong women, listening to cheesy music and reading great books by amazing people. She loves binge watching Supernatural, drooling over Dean, Sam and Cas, and going to conventions. She also enjoys spreading love any chance she can.
