Book Review-Back to Us

Back to Us by Teresa Roman

*This book is a 2015 Kindle Scout winner, available for free on Kindle Unlimited

Blurb: Abandoned by her parents at fourteen, Jessica knows what it means to struggle. She’s vowed that getting her degree is the only thing she has time for, until a summer internship brings Justin into her life.

But Justin has scars of his own. A tour of duty in Afghanistan has left him with wounds. A medical discharge from the Navy leaves Justin struggling to make sense of his new reality. Then he meets Jessica; but can the two of them leave their pain in the past and make a future together?

My review-4 stars

Back to Us follows college student Jessica as she works a summer tutoring job. Some initial chemistry with a co-worker takes a while to develop, but when it does the love story is both touching and redemptive. Twists and turns keep you guessing what will come next, but Teresa Roman delivers a satisfying ending. Can’t wait to read what’s next from this talented author.

If you like it, review it!

As you may or may not know, reviews are the bread and butter for authors. Authors in every genre and in every level (from novice self-pub to NYT bestseller) depend on reviews from readers. This is especially true for those of us who are relatively new and are hoping to build a following.

If you read a book, mine or someone else’s, and you liked it–please review it. Not every review has to be a stellar five-star. But every author appreciates an honest, thoughtful reply posted on Amazon and Goodreads.

#KindleScout

Last summer, after publishing Anchored in the Bay, I found out about the Kindle Scout program and decided to give it a shot with my second novel, Tiny Island Summer.

Kindle Scout is an exciting opportunity to have a book published through Amazon’s Kindle Press. An author submits their (already edited) novel into a campaign and for 30 days it is up on the Kindle Scout website. Selection factors in the number of votes a novel receives on the site. If a novel is chosen, everyone who voted for it receives a complimentary copy.

I have loved being part of the Kindle Press family with Tiny Island Summer. The other authors have taught me so much about the business side of publishing. And the team at Amazon have really pushed my work into so many more hands than I had done on my own with Anchored in the Bay.

And I’m at it again.

Tidal Patterns, my sweet romance from the #sytycw15 contest, is now up on the site. If you get a chance to check it out, to vote and maybe share with others who like romance, I’d really appreciate it. Just because I have published one book with them, I have no guarantees of any outcome. (In fact, this time I have to hustle a little harder because the program has expanded internationally.)

Check out Tidal Patterns here. Thank you for your support!
