Bette Menezes has never felt so lost.
After being cheated on by her long-time boyfriend and losing the woman who raised her, it’s time to make a change.
When she discovers that Aunt Clara left her a manor in Ireland, Bette leaves her old life in SΓ£o Paulo to chase a new adventure.
In the other side of the ocean, the Quinn Manor is Darragh’s whole life. It’s the house he grew up in, and the place he’s fighting to keep standing. He has everything under control until a girl from Brazil barges in to claim the house belongs to her.
They both believe to be the manor’s rightful owner, and only thirty years of love letters will decide who can keep the house.
*Amy’s Tip: Age gap, enemies to lovers and house renovation! This romance has everything, a strong Latina heroine, and a lovable grumpy Irish hero. Perfect for fans of slow-burns and enemies to lovers!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wrote Letters from Clara when I was just nineteen and had the manuscript hidden for eleven years. After re-reading and a lot of changes, I'm finally ready. Bette and Darragh are too.

Adrian β€œBolt” Hall doesn’t give a shit about anything…except music. His dream…rock stardom. In 1981, he is on his way. He has the look, the attitude, and a band that kicks ass. The last thing he needs is a distraction. And that’s just what Melody is. He falls in lust the moment he sees her wiggle her ass across the school parking lot. From then on, he’ll stop at nothing to make Melody his, even if she can’t stand the sight of him.
Melody Stewart grew up in a life of privilege with wealthy parents who packed her off to boarding school. As she returns to public school for her senior year, the only thing on her mind is fitting in. She isn’t trying to attract anyone’s attention, especially that of an angry punk rocker intent on taking her virginityβ€”someone who plans to use her, then discard her as he has done countless others. Melody is determined to fight Bolt’s advances even if it means denying her own fascination with the spike haired, rock star wannabe.

Adrian and Melody…will they stop fighting long enough to fall in love?

April’s Heart by Shilah Ferr

Leave a Comment

Targeted Age Group:: 16+

Can a love that started so young endure? “April’s Heart” follows the journey of one girl from puberty to adulthood. It is lovingly written and touchingly reminiscent of all the pains and joys each of us experience.
~ Indie & Small Published Book Reviews (indtale.com)

Autumn 1977. Thirteen year old cheerleader April Schweiter falls hard for Mitch Hudgins, putting an end to childhood and changing her life forever. April embarks on a coming of age journey full of angst and unanswered questions. And her dysfunctional family is only one of the problems in her way.

Classmate and wrestler Mitch Hudgins cannot get enough of April either. She stirs in him surprising passion that is new, unfamiliar and needs to be explored.

But they say goodbye when they attend schools in different towns, far away from each other. Surely staying together wouldn’t have a chance of working out. But they were crazy for each other! Would breaking up have a chance of working out?

β€œYou guys are the nicest friends anyone could have!” April choked down a sob. She was still emotional at the realization of the future of her romance with the guy who took her virginity, the guy who once told her he loved her, the guy she fought for, the guy with whom she was really very happy with. She was heartbroken but didn’t know it yet.

This romance novel is the story of young love, hot and heavy, with all the drama of high school in the eighties. The ebook contains almost 40 Spotify music links on all the songs in the story, taking you there.

β€œWhat are we going to do Mitch?”April whispered.
β€œI don’t know April, I just don’t see how…” This time it was April who kissed him. She didn’t want him to say what he was going to say. Mitch didn’t want to say it anyway. They wanted things to stay the way they were, but that was impossible.

Find out what happens to the star crossed lovers with the on again, off again romance riddled with breakups.

I give it 4 out of 4 stars. It was captivating, and unlike what I have read before. I truly found myself getting involved with the characters and rooting for April and Mitch.-Angela Roura, OnlineBookClub.org

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
In 1977, I kept a diary pretty faithfully for the whole year. After that I kept scrapbooks for that documented my entire high school career and even college days. As I pondered whether I had a book in me waiting to be written, I thought about all that documentation up in my attic. My friends and I were quite the derelicts! Going through it was certainly inspirational.

Romance Author Interview – Shilah Ferr

Leave a Comment


About Shilah Ferr:
I grew up in northern New Jersey with my brother and sister. We share treasured memories of high school, the Jersey shore, and skiing with cousins. All of which became part of April's Heart! I went to college in Washington DC and became a teacher. I now live in Virginia Beach, Virginia with my husband of thirty years. Our two boys are in there twenties making their own way in the world.

What inspires you to write?
I always wondered if I had a book in me. In 1977 I kept a diary for a whole year, and kept scrapbooks of each school year after that almost through college. These things were my inspiration! I poured through all of it and came up with my premise of a life long relationship that I based on my own experiences back in the day with several relationships.

Tell us about your writing process.
My preferred method of exercise is power walking. Through all those hours and miles I think and think about what should happen next and where the story is going. I get inspired by the music coming through my earbuds and make note of phrases and ideas I think are romantic, provocative or sexy. I write notes when I get home, before I forget what I was thinking, hoping to incorporate it all into the story somewhere.

How do you develop your characters?
I want to connect with what the characters are FEELING. Through my words I try to portray the emotion and angst by describing thoughts, facial expressions, even hand gestures. April's thoughts are often unanswered questions. I love that part.

Who are your favorite authors?
I love romance, especially erotic romance, so Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James is a favorite. I also really like the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

What genres do you write?: Romance, Coming of Age, Love, Erotic Romance

What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print

-Evan-
I messed up.
I admitted to the girl of my dreams I’m in love with her, only to have her run away. Why don’t they ever warn you things like that happen?
Now that we’re paired up for a class project, I have to figure out a way to keep things from being weird between us. I can’t lose her again.

-Natalie-
We shared a kiss the night after I broke up with my boyfriend of three years. A heart-stopping, panty-melting kiss I still dream about. But I wasn’t ready then for anything more.
Now that I am, he’s unavailable. What will it take to get us both on the same page – and stay there?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to write a book where the confession of love starts at the beginning of the novel, and then doesn't go where the character expects. So often in romance novels, the admitting to being in love is positively received, but what do you do when it's not? What happens from there? How do the two main characters now interact? Will they be able to find their way to a happily ever after?
These are all questions I wanted to explore in this second chance take on romance.

Targeted Age Group:: New Adult

From Amazon Bestselling Author, M.A. Lee comes another exciting new college romance novel.
Melissa is my biggest challenge yet. With her beauty, brains, and brazen sass, she is the first girl to not fall for my charm. Until now, I’ve never had to work for a woman to want me.
I want her. I need her. I’m getting high just from her presence. I know she will cave one day, I can see it in the way she looks at me and the way her body reacts when I touch her.
With each day that passes, I can feel her giving in. Her resistance fleeting as she slowly falls for what we could be. What I want us to become.
Unfortunately, Melissa has been hurt in the past and she’s letting that influence how she feels about me. Now, I need to make sure she knows I’m not like the guys she used to know and I’m willing to do anything to show her just that.

They say bad boys are easy to love. And, Colton is your ultimate bad boy. It’s hard to blame him really; with his dark hair, striking eyes, and swagger, girls just can’t seem to resist him.
For me, I already had my fair share of bad boys and the last thing I wanted to do was to fall for Colton. Knowing his past should have had me running away at lightning speed–but it didn’t.
I fell for him hard and we both know it, but I’m the last person to admit it. Call it stuborness, but I am not ready to have my heart broken again.
Now, Colton refuses to give up his chase and I don’t know how much longer I can fight my feelings for him. I can tell he is different, but can I really trust him with my heart?

Enjoy this sweet romance and discover if Colton can win over Melissa

Featured Book: Professor With Benefits by Hazel Kelly

*Limited time launch price of 0.99c*

Sadie’s no princess, and she doesn’t appreciate being treated like one. As far as she’s concerned, women who don’t wear ridiculous shoes don’t need to be swept off their feet, and the last thing the world needs right now is one more hopeless romantic maiming one more unsuspecting daisy.

But when a handsome, young professor takes an unprofessional interest in her mossy green eyes and muddy attitude, she can’t help but enjoy the sparkly feeling his attention stirs in her. And the more he lays on the charm, the more she fears she’s not as attached to her loneliness as she once thought.

Too bad he’s off limits. Then again, limits have never really interested Sadie.

But dreamy professors with penetrating blue eyes and sinfully sexy stubble? That’s a subject that’s about to make her senior year very interesting indeed…

**This standalone romance is guaranteed to make you smile all over.**
