Reading this anthology was an unique experience. The romance and the friendship in these heartwarming compilation, combined with the amazing vibe that only can be added by The Beatles music, was something precious and unforgettable.

My first time listening The Beatles music was when I was a kid. My dad was a huge fan, and with the time I became one as well. I have so many memories associated with their music. I know every song by heart, I recognize every feeling, the joy, the sadness, the hope, the playfulness... and I felt all those things while reading the stories in this anthology. It was a different and interesting way to experiment music, through the stories, because every single one of them has certain musicality (that romantic vibe that has nothing to do with the relationships described but with the feelings they evoque) and I loved that.

Traveling through different times and places with these characters was beautiful, and the cause supported with the profits is equally special, so my recommendation is for you to give a try to this book as soon as it's published. P.S.: Pay special attention to Fidelity and Tinderella, two of my favorite stories.

NEW RELEASE | HOW NOT TO by Devin Sawyer

Hi there! Thank you for joining me to celebrate Devin Sawyer debut release!
How Not To is such a wonderful book and I can't wait for you to read it. Take a look at all the info the I have to share about it!

Ari

When you’re young you think you know it all. I was fortunate enough to live in a world where poverty was just something I’d heard of, but never experienced. Until, I took a chance on the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. The chemistry undeniable. Our worlds collided and I fell hard, we both did. I needed him to stay and when he didn’t, it broke my heart. So I grew up and moved on. I didn’t know who I was back then, or what I was up against. But I do now. I won’t make the same mistakes.

Torren

I made mistakes, I thought I knew what I was doing. Turns out sometimes loyalty and stupidity go hand in hand. I took the one thing I needed most and I pushed her away with my actions. Sent her running in the opposite direction is more like it. When fate brings us together again, I desperately want to make things right, prove to her that I’m not that guy anymore. Time has done nothing to put out the fire between us, but she has no plans to let me be a part of her future. I’m about to change that.

I have to admit I have no expectations about this book, since it was a first time. A first time reading this author, her first time publishing… I think you get it. I was surprised by the amount of passion and feelings the author put in the book, and how her words gripped my heart like an iron fist. And I’m not talking about the Marvel character…

This story starts as a first love kind of book, new adult romance if you may, between one good girl and one boy from the bad side of town. Their attraction was something beautiful to see growing through the pages of this book. And then one night changed everything for them. They are left broken and apart… but then this story turns into a second chance romance, flash forwards included, when they meet again 8 years later. They are forced to work together, and it’s pretty clear that both, Torren and Ari, never let their love die.

Their journey from that young first love to their second chance was a bumpy ride, but the author made it worth it. This story was devastatingly good for a debut release. As I said, I had no expectations. But I had to admit that at one point I was in tears (many points of the book, in fact. And I’m not a crier). It was that good. Promise. Now I’m excited to your reaction to this story. A story that is different, heartfelt and beautifully written.

Devin Sawyer is a contemporary romance writer who enjoys a bit of dirty humor. If you have a dirty joke, she’s the first one that wants to hear it. She grew up in a small Texas town called Comfort and still enjoys quiet country towns. She started out writing at a young age with moody, depressing, poetry—mostly about unrequited teenage loves. But enough about the dark times.. Now Devin prefers to write witty romantic comedies with hard hitting issues. Devin has a master’s in Social work and is independently licensed as a therapist. She finds reading and writing a pleasant escape from real world stressors. Her favorite reads are forbidden love stories.
