New Release: TO BE WITH YOU

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

Audiobook cover showing a photo of two hands with pinkies locked together; a golden glow emanates from the connection. The hand on the right is bare-armed and dons a gold bracelet and a gold ring. The arm on the left wears a long sleeved-shirt of navy blue with red stripes. The background is blurred railroad tracks. Text in white casual script lettering: To Be With You, TJ O'Shea, Read by Amy Deuchler, RB MediaThis one is good. Like ugly cry good. Which I TOTALLY did while recording it. Every. Damn. Chapter.

Because this book took me back to:
The mix tapes.
The angst.
The stupid “rules.”
The better-be-who-they-think-you-should-be’s.

But also:
The belief in possibility.
The belief in yourself.
The belief in love.

Hope you love it too.

TO BE WITH YOU by TJ O’Shea. Now on audio.

From the Publisher:

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood should not fall in love.

They’re smart enough to know a star-crossed lovers situation never works. Leah’s a loner from the poor side of town, working two jobs, and aching to leave their sleepy hometown in her rear view forever. Victoria lives in a mansion with her overbearing parents, surrounded by friends and known to none of them, living what others consider a charmed life. When Leah rescues Victoria from a freak rainstorm, they discover an unexpected understanding, and an undeniable spark.

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood should not fall in love, but they do.

Five years after their summer romance flames out, Victoria returns home to visit her dysfunctional family, fiance in tow. She’s shocked to find Leah never left town, and more surprisingly, neither did their feelings for each other. Still hurt over how Victoria ended things Leah resists any reconciliation, despite how hotly the embers of their love burn.

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood definitely should not fall in love . . . again.

Of course, even if Leah can open her bruised heart to the only girl she ever loved, Victoria must make a life-changing choice: love safely or love bravely.

Publisher’s Summary

As kids, best friends Willa Dunn and Lee Chandler spend every summer together at the idyllic Upstate New York community of Forestlands Lake, nestled in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains. During the summer before they turn sixteen—just as the two are discovering that there might be something more to their friendship—a tragic accident befalls Willa’s family and without warning, Willa and Lee’s world is torn apart.

Twenty-five years later, Willa is a successful author of the young adult ghost stories she loved to read as a child. She returns to the lake looking for a writer’s retreat and an opportunity to connect with her troubled teenage sister, Nicole.

Lee, now a single mother to her wise-beyond-her-years teenage daughter Maggie, is the director of the summer camp on the other side of Forestlands Lake.

Before Willa and Nicole even have the chance to unpack, their plans are upset by a mysterious young girl, a near-drowning, and a surprise reunion. Soon Willa and Lee are working to protect the girls, reconcile their past, and unearth the secrets surrounding Forestlands Lake—putting old ghosts to rest once and for all.

Contains mature themes.

 

THE OTHER SIDE OF FORESTLANDS LAKE is available on Audible, Amazon, and most places where audiobooks are sold.

New Release: HOMESPUN

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

I’m so excited that the audiobook for HOMESPUN by Magnolia Robbins has released! HOMESPUN is an enemies to lovers, rich girl/poor girl novel is a modern twist of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

I fell in love with Charlotte and Marlow so fast, and so much so that while proofing the audio, the proofer found a few instances where I combined their names during narration. This cracked me up when I listened back to hear myself say “Marlotte said” or “Charlow looked at her.”

I hope you enjoy listening to their story as much as I did narrating it.

From the publisher:

No Miller could ever love a Livingston.

Charlotte Livingston’s perfect little life was over.

She swore she would never work at the bourbon distillery with her last name on it. That she would never be a part of her family’s legacy. But when her posh, cozy world went up in flames, she was forced to return to her small hometown of Bardstown, Kentucky, and face a bitter truth. That she was stuck there, working in the family business, whether she liked it or not.

And it wasn’t that bad. Until Charlotte realized that her boss was Marlow Miller.

Marlow and Charlotte are exact opposites in every imaginable way, yet Charlotte can’t seem to get enough of the sexy-southern-as-you-could-get-woman. But the problem is, Marlow doesn’t want anything to do with her. Everyone in Bardstown knew that the Millers and the Livingstons had been at war for decades, and for good reason.

And if her parents found out she was falling hard and fast for a Miller woman, her life might actually be over. 

And Marlow’s would be, too.

This enemies to lovers, rich girl/poor girl novel is a modern twist of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

 

HOMESPUN is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

I’m pleased to announce that VETTED by K’Anne Meinel is now released in audiobook format!

From the publisher:

Allyssa is a young college student living her life to please her upper-crust family who want her to take business courses, join her father’s business, and marry the “right” man. Allyssa loves animals and yearns to take courses that speak to her heart, but her family are deaf to her pleas and she is unable or unwilling to stand up to them.

Fiona is an older, more established woman; a veterinarian working towards the goal of starting her own large animal practice. When a young woman arrives on her doorstep one night carrying a dog she may have fatally injured with her car, Fiona is thrown for a loop.

Vetted – a life that neither woman anticipated, but each learns they want desperately. Will their families, the fates, and rustlers finally bring these women to their knees? The only way they can survive is to stand strong together, but are they both ready to fight for what they want?

Audiobook Released: HOMECOMING

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

I’m excited to announce that the audiobook version of Homecoming by Marian Snowe and Ruby Grandin is now released!  Narrating Scarlett and Joan’s story brought me right back to those bittersweet memories of first love: raw passion, heartbreak, regret, and starting over. And sometimes starting over means going right back where you started: home.

I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed telling it.

The audiobook version of Homecoming is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

From the Publisher:

Scarlett McKennon’s life in the big city is a big flop.

Her cupcake bakery went under, her roommate at her expensive apartment left her high and dry, and her girlfriend just reacted to “I love you” with “No thanks.” Her sophisticated metropolitan dream has crumbled all around her, and the only thing left to do is pull up stakes and return to the small town where she grew up.

What could be worse than limping home in defeat? The minute she steps off the train, Scarlett finds out: her first love, Joan, is waiting there to drive her into town, looking like the picture of sexy confidence. Joan was once a scared, self-conscious girl; now she’s come into her own as a mechanic and soccer coach, and Scarlett can’t help but wonder what might have been.

Carrying on a secret high-school romance in a conservative town was brutal, and Joan hadn’t been able to take the pressure. She broke Scarlett’s heart in exchange for a “normal” life that was doomed from the beginning. Now that Joan’s divorced, fate keeps putting Scarlett in her path. They may have tried to forget each other, but their chemistry is still undeniable.

Both women start to wonder if they might be right for each other after all… But is the spark they both feel enough, or will their shared past prove too painful to overcome? Find out in this new lesbian romance by wife-and-wife authors Marian Snowe and Ruby Grandin!
