    The Five Stages of Falling in Love is a Contemporary Romance. Elizabeth Carlson is living in the pits of hell- also known as grief. Her husband of eight years, the father of her four children and the love of her life, died from cancer. Grady's prognosis was grim, even from the start, but Liz never gave up hope he would survive. How could she, when he was everything to her? Six months later, she is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and get the kids to school on time. Both seem impossible. Everything seems impossible these days. When Ben Tyler moves in next door, she is drowning in sorrow and pain, her children are acting out, and the house is falling apart. She has no time for curious new friends or unwanted help, but Ben gives her both. And he doesn't just want to help her with yard work or cleaning the gutters. Ben wants more from Liz. More than she's capable of ever giving again. As Liz mourns her dead husband and works her way through the five stages of grief, she finds there's more of her heart to give than she thought possible. And as new love takes hold, she peels away the guilt and heartache, and discovers there's more to life than death.

    Um livro intenso e inesquecível.

    Esse livro nos leva a refletir muito sobre a vida e a morte, sobre o sofrimento de perder alguém, a como superar essa perda e como voltar a viver e reconstruir a vida. A história de Liz começa contando o final da luta de seu grande amor contra um câncer e como toda sua vida desmorona. Mãe de quatro filhos pequenos, ela tem que absorver toda a rotina do casal sozinha, confortar esses filho e ainda sofre e vivenciar seu luto e a dor que a devasta a cada dia. Nesse caminho que parece não ter um dia sem dor ou desespero, ela conhece Ben, um novo vizinho que parece ser enviado dos céus para abençoar sua vida. Ele aparece e oferece ajuda para minimizar toda sua bagunça, e a amizade entre eles se transforma em algo mais sem que ela nem perceba. Mesmo relutante, seu coração pede por ele para construir essa nova vida e ela precisa vencer os medos e culpas para conseguir seguir em frente. Ben é realmente um ser humano maravilhoso, de um coração imenso, apaixonante e muito cativante. Uma linda história, que apesar da narrativa sofrida, e de despertar sentimentos muito intensos, não me deixou em momento algum angustiada ou deprimida. A reflexão é inevitável e se pôr no lugar da personagem é um desafio, pois ninguém quer pensar na perda e se imaginar nessa posição.

    I am the author of three different Young Adult Paranormal Romance Series, a Zombie Apocalypse Dystopian Novella Series and a few Contemporary New Adults that I am just as in love with as all the others. All of my available books are for purchase on Kindle, Nook and through Smashwords. Some of them are in print as well, but not all. I am currently in the process of writing the newest season of Love and Decay, The Fall- the second book in The Siren Series and a new Contemporary Adult Romance called The Five Stages of Falling in Love. I'm also a momma to four gorgeous little ones and a housewife extraordinaire. Oh, yes, life gets very exciting in my Midwestern Sweet Life! Thank you for stopping by this page and showing your support for my published works!! Writing is very much an innate part of who I am, and I throw myself into every book, and every character as if I were writing my very own story. Hang out here, message me, email me, tweet me (@mywritesdntbite) or even smoke-signal me!! I love to hear from readers and I am so thankful for each and every one of you!! Oh my word. Too many to name. But my all time favorites start with The Zion Chronicles by Bodie and Brock Theone, where I first learned that writing is a real, legitimate, full time job. Even if I didn't fulfill my dream to be a war correspondent in the middle east, smoking lucky strike cigarettes and wearing lots of khaki and colorful scarves. Yes, my dreams usually do include wardrobe choices and personal vices.... The Scarlett Letter. Oh, I love a good scandal. And the number one spot of all time, the book I've read so often from I can quote it and instantly recognize a mistake made in a movie remake... Drum roll please.... Pride and Prejudice. What is love without angst???
