Girl Lost by Nazarea Andrews
Publication Date:  May 1st, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Northern was supposed to be a fresh start—a place where people didn’t know who I was or how I had spent years in and out of mental institutes. People didn't know about my parents death or the island no one heard of. But when Peter sits next to me in lit class, I can’t stop the memories, and I don’t want to. He looks too much like the boy from the island, and despite my best intentions, coaxes my secrets from me.

He’s gorgeous, irresistible, a little mad, and completely lost—we are a pair of broken cogs in a world neither of us truly fits into. And he listens when I talk, about the past and the terrifying future. He is somehow gentle and fierce, heartbreaking in his devotion and savage in his defense.

When Belle, his best friend, shows up, pale and lovely and sick, Peter pulls away from me, a startling withdrawal. It’s a relationship that scares and confuses me. She is at times warm and friendly, and other times is violent and unpredictable.

Peter says that he wants me, but refuses to let himself get close. And there are secrets, surrounding both of us, that border on nightmares. As the memories close in, as Belle gets sicker and more violent, I’m torn between what is true and what I believe, and what this magical boy knows about my mysterious past.

*Suitable for 17+. A romantic contemporary retelling of the boy who never grew up.

Sweet Ruin by Nazarea Andrews
Publisher: A+A Literary (March 10, 2014) 
Series: University of Branton, 3
Genre: New Adult Contemporary

It’s good to be on top… Asher Knox has it all. Girls, wealth, a career most would kill for. He’s just landed the biggest job of his career. And he’s miserable.



She’s fighting her way from the bottom… Megan Beauchamp has no illusions about why she was chosen to be Asher’s PA. She’s pretty, and down to earth, and everything the Hollywood star always falls for. Too bad Megan is just paying her dues and has no interest in anything but advancing at her PR firm.



He’ll throw it all away…Luca James knows what he wants. And he’s waited a long time for the window to open—when it does, he’ll walk away from the career he’s built for a chance at something real.

When Megan’s boss threatens to fire her, Luca and Asher convince her to leave town with them. Between bad hotels and pit stop confessionals, the three are drawn closer together. And the lines blur even more in Branton, where Megan is forced to look at everything she left behind. But when the boys want more, Megan will be forced to choose between the men she loves and the life she thought she wanted. And in a town like Branton, the secrets she keeps won’t be hidden for long.

Oh, how I love this series! 


Author's Note:

University of Branton is a special place for me. It's a conglomeration of my hometown and the town I made my home when I got married and combines with it the small town feel of a college. College changed my life--and I wanted to share that in my stories. Each book focuses on a different romance--Atti and Avery, Dane and Scout, Megan, Asher and Luca--and challenges relationships pose, while circling back to the previous couples and friends you've made in earlier books. Each can be read as a standalone--much the way each family is a separate entity in a small town--while it still ties to the others. Which is my favorite thing about small towns.

So! Come spend a little bit of time in the sleep small Southern town. I hope you love the University as much as I do. <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">

P.S- This attached bonus scene is set in the weeks after Beautiful Broken, after the fight that was never quite resolved between Dane and Atti.

The World Without a Future by Nazarea Andrews
Publisher:  A + A Literary (December 3rd, 2013)




She was born the day the world ended…
Nurrin has lived her entire life with zombies—trapped behind walls meant to keep them safe. She’s mostly happy there. But when a zombie horde breech the walls of her Haven, she has to trust her brother, Collin, and his best friend to keep her alive.
He just wants his past to die…
Finn O’Malley has given up on voicing warnings that are ignored. No one cares that the zombies are changing. Now all that matters is keeping Collin and Nurrin safe from what’s outside the walls of a Haven. But when Nurrin’s best friend picks up a contact infection, he agrees to get the medicine needed to save his life. Forced together, relying on each other in a strange Haven, zombies aren’t the most dangerous thing they’re facing.

[Cover Reveal]: "Beautiful Broken" + Giveaway!

Last month I posted my review of This Love by Nazarea Andrews, a NA contemporary which I adored. Today, I'm excited to help share the cover for book 2 in the University of Branton series, Beautiful Broken. I can not wait to read this one--it's Dane's story! :) And the excerpt later in this post...well, if that doesn't make you want to read this book, I don't know what will!





Beautiful Broken by Nazarea Andrews
Publisher: A&A Literary (October 8th, 2013)
Series: University of Branton, 2

Genre: New Adult Contemporary


She's been broken by her past. He's been breaking for as long as he can remember.


Together, they can make each other whole--or destroy each other.


When his best friend asks for something, Dane rarely says no. But babysitting a newly sober Scout Grimes for three weeks isn't exactly a normal request. And with their history, it's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention, she's drop dead gorgeous and he can't touch her.

There are few people Scout trusts as much as Dane Guillot. He's always been her safe place, where nothing can hurt her. He's also been the only man she's never let herself want--screwing up their friendship isn't worth one amazing night together.

They have too much history, and too much personal baggage to ever work. But if they are willing to take a chance on love--it might be worth the risk.

Beautiful Broken by Nazarea Andrews
Excerpt


I can hear her crying, her sobs shredding through me like sharp knives. I don't even know what to do with her quiet words. You keep the nightmares away.


I'm not good at this. I've been broken and breaking things for years. The best—smartest—thing to do would be to call Atti and have him come take care of her.


But I want to be strong for her.


That's the thing—I know I can't be, but it doesn't stop the want to be better for Scout. I shake my head and open the door, dropping clothes on the counter. In the foggy mirror, I can see the shape of her, huddled on the floor of the big shower. "Are you okay?" I ask.


She sniffles. "I'll be out in a minute."


It's a clear request for space, so I back away, reluctantly giving it to her. Pull on a pair of faded flannel pants that I wear when Dad comes to town, and sit on her bed.


Scout comes in a few minutes later, wrapped in the scent of oranges and soap and wearing a shirt three sizes too big.


My shirt looks amazing on her.


"Do you want to sleep here or my room?" I ask.


Her eyes widen.  She might ask—almost opens her mouth to ask—but then she shakes her head and says, "Yours."


I nod and switch off her lamp, leading the way down the hall. I let her crawl into bed, tucking the blankets around her when she shivers, then slip in on my side and hit the lights. "Dane?" she whispers in the dark.


"We'll talk in the morning, Scout. Go to sleep."


There aren't any more nightmares. For either of us.

Now, for a surprise! If BEAUTIFUL BROKEN gets 500 adds on Goodreads by this Friday, August 30th, Nazarea is going to release the book EARLY! The release day would move from October 8th to September 24th! :)



Why do I love this cover? There is no sexy bare man chest. No shifters or Highlanders. No tattoos or other bad boy qualities to it. But it's perfect anyway. I love the pose for the hero and heroine, love the outfit and background. It simply fits! Like I said before, I cannot wait to get my hands on this one.... 


What do you think of the cover?









Enjoy!

This Love by Nazarea Andrews
Publisher: A+A Literary (June 22, 2013)
Series: University of Branton, 1
Genre: New Adult (Contemporary)
She wants a summer job and a ride to a wedding.

He wants an assistant and a distraction from the mess his life had become.

They didn't know they needed each other.

Avery Emili needs two grand. Two grand and a plane ticket--her sister is counting on her to get to Jamaica for her wedding. But the semester is over, and tutoring college freshman and high school students has dried up until the fall.

Atticus Grimes needs help--the messy split with his wife left the twenty-eight year old professor scrambling to keep things together as the semester winds down. Now he's got a research grant he has to actually do research for and all he wants to do is drown himself in a tall bottle of bourbon.

When Avery sees his ad for an assistant, all she's thinking is a summer job. But as they spend time together, in the office and out, both of them begin to realize something is there. Something that can't happen--he's a professor and she's a student. And both of them have histories, pasts that won’t let go. Can two broken people pulled apart by expectations find a way to be whole?
