I once met a man on a cold Halloween night. He dressed as a superhero, and I dressed in red. For one night, I was his break from reality, and he was the temporary fix for my broken heart.

Two years later, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to become a senior editor at one of the biggest magazine companies in the world. The only catch? Nail an exclusive interview with New York’s finest bachelor: Connor Roe.

To the rest of the world he was becoming one of the wealthiest men in New York City. To me, he was simply my once upon a time superhero.

My job was to get an exclusive interview with New York’s hottest bachelor. Never in my life did I expect him to want an exclusive with my heart, too.
The only problem with my growing feelings for him? I was set to marry his new business partner.



Aaliyah + Connor.
They met two years ago on Halloween. They spent the whole night together talking and visiting amazing places in the city ... and falling in love. But it was only this one night. Aaliyah was not ready for something new - after just having had her heart broken. And Connor was not ready for a relationship - he was still too busy building his empire.
Fast forward two years and they meet again.
A lot has happened in those two little years. Now they could try for that happy end, right?  ... you'd think. ☺

Let's see what will happen ....


Another beautiful Brittainy book!
I loved it.
And I hated it!
(More about the hate part later! Don't worry! ☺)

This book was sweet, funny, adorable ... and so very heartbreaking. My heart literally hurt so many times! And my eyes kept on leaking all through the story.
But don't worry. It's not all super sad and impossible and un-happy-end-ish.
We also have funny moments, adorable moments, exciting ones, millionaire moments. So many moments.

It was a beautiful love story!

We all remember teenaged Connor from the previous book (Southern Storms) and we loved him! We knew he was going to be amazing as a grown up. And he is. Such a perfect human being and book boyfriend. ☺
And even though he thinks he doesn't have the time for anything serious, he's so in love with Aaliyah. And even though her relationship just ended, she's falling for him too.
But of course there's all that 'stuff' in the way.
.... and here comes the part about the book that I hate...  which I will put in a spoiler thingy - aka I will write it in white - so you have to hover your finger/mouse over the following: Aaliyah is sick. It's her heart. And I hate that. I can't have that in my books. It's bad enough that Connor's mom had cancer, but my hero/heroine being sick? NO! I almost stopped reading after 18%! She'll get her donor-heart at the end, but still.😰
But of course I kept on reading, because it's a Brittainy Cherry book. And it was beautiful and so full of true love and hope and ugh. I loved it. But I still hated it too.
There's nothing more I could/would want to say about it. You need to read it yourself ... and please don't be afraid. It's not as bad as I made it sound ... we'll get our HEA or our HFN.

READ IT!

EASTERN LIGHTS was another beautiful Brittainy Cherry love story. Heartbreaking. Funny. Romantic. Adorable.
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Connor - this one is MINE!





ARC received for an honest review
 
For the first time ever, I nearly called it quits on a Brittainy C Cherry book 😯

I know, shocked right?

But it's sadly true.
 
For the first 35% I struggled. I mostly struggled with our lovely lady Aaliyah. She frustrated me so much and I wanted to just shout at her to tell him! When you read, you will know what I am talking about.

But Connor is just lovely.

At first I got vibes of that movie from the 90's Before Sunrise - where they fall in love on a train trip, before sunrise.

I am glad I stayed with it, as the last say, 20% really made this story.

It was full of alll the emotions and I may have felt them all.
  
There is wonderful set up for the next book, and I am looking forward to the North and West stories.
