Synopsis

**This is a standalone novel.**

Sara has lived most of her life in silence, her only outlet being family BBQs where she sings like an angel. When her wild, guitar playing cousin talks her into singing at a club, her world is turned upside down. She is forced to face a world she has spent most of her life avoiding and is crippled with fear. 

One set of dark, brooding eyes at a show in Cincinnati changes everything. Gio breaks Sara so he can rebuild her. He makes her feel alive in a way she's never experienced. Unfortunately, he's not what he seems and Sara isn't sure she can forgive him. Though his intentions are good, she knows a relationship cannot be built on lies so she retreats back to her silent world.

When Hollywood comes knocking on Sara's door, he's the only one who stands a chance at convincing her to leave her silent life and move to LA. Gio is determined to make Sara trust and love him, but Sara is stubborn and scared, a combination that no one is sure she can overcome. 

*Warning* This book contains sex, backstage debauchery, and a good amount of barf bags. Recommended for readers over 18.

What another great read from Emily Eck!

Sara is a stutterer.  She has lived her life getting laughed at and made fun of for something she has no control over.  She's been asked if she's not mentally all there because of her speech disorder.  The only place she can be herself and come out of her shell is at her family's Sunday BBQs.  That's the only place she is comfortable.  At work, she doesn't talk much, she comes across as shy, quiet, and even a bitch.  But that's better than people knowing the truth (she thinks).

She can sing though.  And is amazing at it.  She doesn't stutter while she sings.  She is the lead singer of a band.  Her cousin, Lila, and friend, EZ, are also in it.  Because of her stuttering, Lila is the "front man" of the band.  Sara doesn't speak to the crowd, only sings, then hangs out behind wherever they are performing and has a few beers. 

Gio is the mystery man Sara sees, and focuses on at one of their shows.  They end up meeting a few shows later and things take off from there.  He isn't completely honest with Sara though. 

I really loved this book.  I loved how Emily showed how the stuttering affected Sara's life in every aspect of it.  Honestly, I never thought it affected people like that.  I was never a "mean girl" though and didn't make fun of friends that did stutter.  I loved the "rules".  I did cry while reading this book, not going to say where.  But I will say this "Seize Love."  You'll understand then you get to that part. 

Oh and I love how parts of the book took place in my hometown of South Bend, Indiana!

Who is Emily Eck?

Emily is a Midwestern Gal hailing from the United States, but could be anywhere as you read this. Currently residing in Mexico, adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material. She loves kids and working with kids, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life. After coming from a snowy climate, Emily and the animals are loving the sun Mexico has to offer each and every day. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of. You can contact her on any of the social media platforms below and she will respond, as her mom gave her the gift of gab.
