eBooks:
The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker City girl Calla Fletcher attempts to reconnect with her estranged father, and unwittingly finds herself torn between her desire to return to the bustle of Toronto and a budding relationship with a rugged Alaskan pilot. REASON TO TRY IT: K.A. Tucker and Colleen Hoover are both authors of contemporary romance and new adult fiction, and are known for their steamy stories with heartwrenching twists. Their conflicted characters fall in love hard, but not without major obstacles.
If You Stay by Courtney Cole Pax Tate is a bad-boy with a bad attitude to match. But he's got his reasons. And then he meets sweet, beautiful Mila Hill, who is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. REASON TO TRY IT: Courtney Cole and Colleen Hoover write new adult fiction filled with high drama, relationship dilemmas, and secrets. Both create flawed characters dealing with serious issues in their lives as they resolve romantic and familial relationships.
Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino A love story about a “missed connection” that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. REASON TO TRY IT: Renee Carlino and Colleen Hoover both write moving tales of love and loss. Their stories often center on imperfect but likeable people who make difficult choices in the name of love.
Books in Print:
God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie Debartolo Trixie Jordan replies to a personal ad, even though a fortune teller once told her 12-year-old self that her one true love would die young and leave her all alone. Everyone said she was a fraud. REASON TO TRY IT: Colleen Hoover professes to being a fan of Tiffanie Debartolo. Readers who enjoyed Debartolo's romances will find more flawed characters and dangerous matches in the work of Hoover. (Also available in eBook and Audiobook format)
For fans of Verity:
Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward In this explosive and twisted psychological thriller, a beautiful marriage turns beautifully bad. REASON TO TRY IT: Like Verity, this book is disturbing and violent, and has themes of "unreliable narrator" and "toxic relationship." (Also available in eBook and Audiobook format)
Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney Amber wakes up in a hospital. She doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. REASON TO TRY IT: Similar to Verity, this psychological suspense features an unreliable narrator/injured woman in a toxic relationship whose dark secrets come to light through her writing.
