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.

“ He wasn’t mine and I wasn’t his but that night, we were something”.
Brittainy C Cherry has solidified her mark in the literary world with her timeless words and effortless storytelling. I don’t even think she knows how much her words alone has touched so many of her readers and how much they mean to us.
Normally I would go a little bit into the plot and tell you what I loved and what I didn’t but for this particular story, I cant do that. The words were powerful enough in their own right and the characters held their own. But that was not the highlight for me. The highlight was the GROWTH. It was little at first and just when you think that you’re about to pull your hair out in frustration because of characters, they surprise you in the best possible way. You celebrated in their little milestone, you cheered them on when they were beginning to lose hope, and you mourned all of their losses big or small.
It was a strange thing going through all of the emotions while reading this book and I completely understood the meaning of the emotional rollercoaster. Two characters who had no business of ever being together, suddenly became each other’s refuge and light. Grace and Jackson grew up in the same town but their home life was very different and because of that, their adult lives were different as well. It’s amazing that as a kid, you envision a certain life that you would love to have but then reality comes tumbling down and that dream of yours is now just that… a dream. Or so it seems for now.
“ You think broken hearts can be fixed?
“Yes” I said, matter-of- factly.
“They just beat a little different, is all”.
I liked that this author touched on so many different emotions in this story. We were heartbroken for numerous things, saddened by the worse timing, and at times, we were enraged by the betrayals that we felt were not justified. Everything that Brittany wanted us to feel, we felt it and even though I hated certain characters and the situations the good ones were put in, I still respected what was done.
There’s no need for me to tell you if you’re looking for a nice emotional read, then this one is for you. You just need to read it.
Disgrace is a must read. Gah! The array of emotions this book is packed with was something that took me by surprise. I was in awe of Brittainy's writing. For a book that can be compared to an encyclopedia with it's lenght, I sure finished it in one sitting. I tell you this, you will never know how fast you can turn a page with your emotion in your sleeve once you read Jackson and Grace's story. Page turner was an understatement.
Brittainy C. Cherry's writing had me with just blurb of this book. It wasn't just promising, but with one read I feel instantly connected. Reading it was like watching a real life story unfolded in front of me. It feels real and alive with emotions enough to move and touch me in so many ways. Jackson and Grace's journey of hope, love and second chance, finding one's self and healing was heart breaking yet not upsetting. Real life isues were tackled and as much as I wanna say this is just fiction, everything it spoke for is definitely real. That's may be why I did not have any difficulty of connecting with them. I swooned, I cried, I got mad and I fell hard. Aside from the uniqueness of the story and the realness it brought, it got so much HEART --- the innocent, bruised, broken and shattered and the hopeful. Hopeful for what's to come... hopeful for a much better self for an epic love.
And boy, was it epic. Almost last several chapters of the book I cried. I was just there lying in my bed, wrestling in my thoughts with my chest ripped open. The emotions was too much I could not contain it anymore. It consumed me. Their heartbreaks were my heartbreaks too. The moment they were both healed, I was relieved. Talk about beautiful heartbreaking and heartwarming romance and this it - Disgrace. It was written with utmost flawlessness and uniqueness coated with ALL THE FEELS. I am so in love!
“And Princess can you do one thing for me?”
“Of course, anything.”I combed her hair behind her ears and looked straight into those beautiful blue eyes as I spoke her way.
“If you ever fall in love again, please let it be with me.”
*Fully sobbed
... Gahd, if you'll read this book, you'll definitely understand where this is coming from. I felt for Jackson and Grace both.
Do me a favor please, get yourselves ready and one click this beauty. It's so much more that you'll ever expect. Trust me. Because in the end indeed,
"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. But those feelings that you both feel for one another? That’s easy, and if you allow yourself to let it in, you’ll be happy that you did. But you both are allowed to figure things out on your own time."
Dear God, it’s me, Anne Marli... Thank you for Disgrace and Brittainy C. Cherry.
Always and always...
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.”
