L.J. Evans | Author Reader Match

goodreadstwitterfacebookblog

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 presentย L.J. Evans! WRITES:

I writeโ€ฆwell, lots of genres, but they all have some kind of
romance wrapped into them. My current standalone series, MY LIFE AS AN ALBUM,
is
contemporary romance. It started with a coming-of-age romance and is ending
with a new
adult slow burn. Iโ€™ve been accused of making people cry with my words, and Iโ€™m
only half
sorry for it. ย Each book in this series was inspired by music and each chapter
is really a song
title where the words of the song speak to what the characters are going
through. If you like
music and romance, then youโ€™ll, hopefully, love how they collide in these
books.

ABOUT AUTHOR:

Sappy, romantic writer seeks fans of beautiful lyrics and
touching words to read a series that is full of raw emotions and happy
endings. After being a
victim of โ€œlove at first sightโ€ herself and being joyfully married for twenty-
five years, the writer
feels qualified to share a few happily ever afters with the rest of the world.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN MY IDEAL READER MATCH:
  • Knows that stories, like sweet tea, take time to reach perfection.
  • Appreciates broken and damaged people who find love and healing through self-discovery.
  • Appreciates that romance is not always a sexy love scene, but that a sexy love scene can be full of romance.
  • Appreciates the anticipation of a slow burn and just how fulfilling the end result can be.
  • Isnโ€™t afraid to have their soul captured by the characters in a book even if those characters will never let them go.
WHAT TO EXPECT IF COMPATIBLE:
  • Beautiful words that stick with you.
  • Laughter through tears.
  • New meaning to familiar lyrics that you thought you already knew.
  • Happily ever afters that will make your heart burst into joyful song.

MY LIFE AS A MIXTAPE by L.J. Evans

My Life as an Album Book 4
My Life 
as a 
Mixtape
"One mistake doesn't make you a failure."

LONNIE
I came to Tennessee to help a friend.
And now, Iโ€™m stuck.
By the Southern charm,
By the sweet tea and
By a tall, red-headed "Strawberry Shortcake"

And when my world crumbles apart,
Wynn is there to help me pick up the pieces.
To show me the way.

WYNN
My life was a huge disappointment.
My marriage,
My job,
Everything slipped away.

Coming home seemed like the final failure.
But then I meet him,
Lonnie Brennan, the sexy bass player,
Who adds laughter to my life.

And now, I realize that I can
Change my tune,
Sing a new song.

From award-winning author, LJ Evans, comes the music inspired conclusion to the MY LIFE AS AN ALBUM SERIES about hope and new beginnings.

Re: L.J. Evans | Author Reader Match

I love these reader matches. This author looks like a match
for me. I don't always read romances but when I do this is
what I'm looking for.
(Mary Songer 2:36am November 23, 2018)

very nice
(Master Qq 12:50pm November 23, 2018)

Successfully matched! Can't tell you the number of songs
that make me cry- right now "Shallow"-, both sad and happy
tears.
Ans most assuredly, all sex is not romance and vice versa!
(Kathleen Bylsma 12:51pm November 23, 2018)

So happy to find some new matches in Mary, Master Qq, and
Kathleen! I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed
writing it!
