Blog Tour: Dear Juliet by Trudy Stiles



I lost her. 
I thought she was the love of my life. 
She was everything I needed. Everything I wanted. 
She made me forget about my past. My family. 
She made me feel real. 
How do I move on from her? 
Will I find someone like her? 
It’s time to pick up the pieces. 
But can I? 
I’m Seth Tyson and this is my story. 
~~~ 
I deserve a happily ever after, don’t I?

 
I'm not going to lie, I was never a fan of Seth's. His character is one who just rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning. So, I wasn't over the moon excited to read his story. I just didn't see how he could find his way into my heart.

BIG mistake!

Now that I have read this book and know his story, I must say, my feelings towards him have changed. Having the knowledge of his past and where he comes from makes his choices before easier to understand. And seeing his interactions with Juliet made him almost, dare I say....lovable.

Juliet was a character that easily wormed her way into my heart. I loved her friendship with both Seth and Jeremy. It was so beautiful in its simplicity. And even once her and Jeremy transitioned into something more, it never changed the dynamic of the trio. And more importantly, it didn't change the special connection her and Seth shared. 

I think the thing I loved most about this book though was something I never was expecting. I don't want to give anything away but there is a nice little twist that the author threw in there that you will NEVER see coming. I was so shocked by it, I had to go back and read the passage again just to make sure I read it right the first time! 

Dear Juliet was a beautiful addition to the A Forever Family Series and I think rounded it out nicely. I'm definitely looking forward to The Epic Fail Series, which is a spin-off to this one!

More Than This #1

*Mikayla* 

In one night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun. This is my story of friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the strength to show weakness. 

*Jake* 
One night I met a girl. A sad and broken girl, but one more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her sadness, while I loved through her heartbreak. 

*This is our story of a maybe ever after.* 

He was right. It made no difference whether it was 6 months or 6 years. 
I couldn’t undo what had been done. I couldn’t change the future. 
I couldn’t even predict it. 
It was one night. 
One night when everything changed. 
It was so much more than just the betrayal. 
It was the Tragedy. 
The Deaths. 
The Murders. 
But it was also that feeling. 
The feeling of falling.

More Than Her #2


 Displaying MTHer.jpg
For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction." For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get a choice, and all you get are the consequences.” "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away. It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

 More Than Him #3

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson

We live in a world of darkness and shadows,
where monsters hide and aim to ruin.
And they did.
They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.
But now we're back.
And we're fighting.
Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.

MORE THAN FOREVER #4

-LUCY-
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. 
A heart so strong it will never slow. 
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.

-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time. 
No sounds of the ticking of a clock. 
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever. 

But our forever isn't always.
