Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the
"Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in
love with. It's our great pleasure to present Liz Talley.
Writes:
I write southern contemporary romance, and COME HOME TO ME, my April
17th release, is a contemporary romance with women's fiction elements.
About:
Though I was born in Pennsylvania, I've lived most my life as a Louisiana girl.
I stumbled into writing through my love of reading romances and found the place
where I belong. I always say my mama used to spank me for telling stories but
now I get paid for them. I've written twenty-five romances, ranging from deeply
emotional to light and fun. When not writing, I love to fish, shop at TJ Maxx
and work in the yard. I'm married to my childhood sweetheart (only man I've ever
kissed), have two teenaged boys, three dogs and a mean kitty.
What I'm looking for in my ideal reader match:
A reader who loves coastal Southern towns
A reader who likes multiple viewpoints - there are three in this one
A reader who likes music - Summer is a songwriter and singer
A reader who can understand the pain of making a tragic mistake
A reader who can forgive a character, see a character grow, and celebrate a
happy ending
A reader who doesn't get sea sick - there is a boating scene replete with
wine, moonlight and kisses.
What to expect if we're compatible:
An emotional story that will have them reaching for tissues and then
laughing at Grampy Pete's antics
A gut-wrenching, toe-curling, breath-taking journey to forgiveness and
healing.
A really big diamond engagement ring at the end. Really big.
Summer Valentine has returned to Moonlight, South Carolina, a very different
woman from the naive wallflower who left years before. These days she's
straightforward and savvy, determined to do right by her son, David, even if
that means cashing in her struggling music career in Nashville and returning to
the town that drove her away. Sure, she took a fall. But at least she now knows
where she stands . . .
Despite her anger over the past, Summer believes David deserves a relationship
with his father, Hunter "Hunt" McCroy. Though Hunt's illustrious career has
faded, privilege still protects him from his worst mistakes.
Someone else is back in Moonlight too: Rhett Bryan, the golden boy of Hollywood,
who's taking stock of his own life after a tragic accident. As his rekindled
friendship with Summer quickly deepens, she must reconcile the painful history
that ties her to both menโone she's finally forgiven, one she's afraid to
loveโto claim healing and happiness.
