BLOG TOUR & 5 STAR REVIEW: Disgrace by Brittainy Cherry



Disgrace, an all-new romantic and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available NOW!




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.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

What we have in this book are two broken people trying to feel whole again. Grace is reeling from the demise of her marriage and Jackson is angry at the world for a lot of reasons. Unfortunately for Grace, her return home starts off with Jackson seeing her at her absolute worst (and multiple times!) He’s rude to her on more than one occasion, but all it takes is one tiny moment for Grace to see that angry Jackson is not the real Jackson. The two make a deal that is mutually beneficial and causes lots of raised eyebrows. I loved it. Jackson was able to break Grace out of the shell of a person she had become and Grace's patience and ability to not give up on people made Jackson a better person. One, that by the end of the book had me swooning all over the place.

Y'all I love me a grumpy hero and Jackson Emery might be the grumpiest hero of all. Wow! He was so grumpy that I found myself asking if he was even redeemable. And I love a good redeemable grump. He was so abrasive at times, I found myself cringing at his actions, BUT Grace is able to see through all of that and find a man she could love. They both carried some serious baggage but together they were able to be their true selves.

Every time I read one of Brittainy's books I cry. A lot. This was no exception. There is something about Brittainy’s writing that just makes me feel things. There is always a little part of her characters that I can relate to and that just gives me all the feels. If you are a fan, this one is definitely a must read. 






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.”
