Live: A Burnside Novel

Live: A Burnside Novel

Mary Ann Rivers kicks off a new contemporary romance seriesâ‚¬"sure to please readers of Ruthie Knox, Kristan Higgins, and Jill Shalvisâ‚¬"where love can be found unexpectedly.
Â
If thereâ‚¬s an upside to unemployment, Destiny Burnside may have found it. Job searching at her local library in Lakefield, Ohio, gives her plenty of time to ogle the hottest man she has ever laid eyes on: the sexy wood-carver whoâ‚¬s restoring the building. But as the rejection letters pile up, Destiny finds an unexpected shoulder to cry on. With his rich Welsh accent, Hefin Thomas stirs Destiny so completely that, even though heâ‚¬s leaving soon, she lets herself believe the memory of his scorching kisses will be enough.
Â
Hefin canâ‚¬t help but notice the slender, confident woman with ginger hair who returns each day, so hopeful and determined. So when the tears start to fall, his silenceâ‚¬"penance for a failed marriageâ‚¬"finally cracks. Once heâ‚¬s touched her, what Hefin wants is to take her back to Wales and hold her forever. But Destinyâ‚¬s roots run too deep. What they both need is each otherâ‚¬"to learn how to live and love again.

Praise for Live
Â
â‚¬Å“Sizzling, sweet, and superbly written, Live is a marvelous love story.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"New York Times bestselling author Grace Burrowes

â‚¬Å“A beautiful, aching exploration of love, family, and lossâ‚¬"highly recommended!â‚¬Ââ‚¬"USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox
Â
â‚¬Å“Such an elegantly layered story.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Dear Author

â‚¬Å“The romance in this book is super hot. . . . Such care is taken to craft the charactersâ‚¬ lives. . . . Just when things get really heavy there is naughtiness in a batting cage and sex in a limo. And Hefin, with his stubble and curls about his ears make things very steamy and put a smile on my face. He is such a good guy, and just what Des needed.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Smexy Books
Â
â‚¬Å“Live blooms with the freshness of thoughtful storytelling carefully tended by beautiful prose. . . . Rivers is actively staking new, lyrical ground in a genre often sidelined as a guilty pleasure. Thereâ‚¬s no need to choose between heat and good writing. From this author, readers get a two-for-one deal.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"New York Journal of Books
Â
â‚¬Å“Mary Ann Riversâ‚¬s debut full-length, Live, will make you curl up with your box of tissues and cry until youâ‚¬re not even sure whether they count as happy or sad tears. Riversâ‚¬s world and characters feel so real, their emotions so raw, that I need the almost poetic beauty of the words to bear so much truth.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Heroes and Heartbreakers
Â
â‚¬Å“This is a rich, tender story, not at all the usual contemporary family series fare. Iâ‚¬m looking forward to seeing where life takes the Burnside siblings next.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Karen Knows Best
Â
â‚¬Å“Rivers has written a remarkable romance novel: beautifully . . . written; tormented as only youth can be; serious as only the un-ironic are.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Miss Bates Reads Romance

â‚¬Å“Emotionally enthralling . . . intense, complicated, lyrical, passionate.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Straight Shootinâ‚¬ Book Reviews
Â
â‚¬Å“A stellar start to a new series that is so compelling and emotional, the characters wonâ‚¬t soon be forgotten.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The Window Seat on a Rainy Day
