Teaser: The Edge of Always by J.A. Redmerski


He was taking the long road. She was taking the road to nowhere. It just so happened that they led to the same place…
Five months ago, Camryn and Andrew, both dealing with personal hardships, met on a Greyhound bus. They fell in love and proved that when two people are meant to be together, fate will find a way to make it happen. Now, in the highly anticipated sequel to The Edge of Never, Camryn and Andrew are pursuing their love for music and living life to the fullest as they always swore to do. But when tragedy befalls them, their relationship is put to the ultimate test. As Camryn tries to numb her pain, Andrew makes a bold decision: To get their life back on track, they’ll set out on another cross-country road trip. Together they find excitement, passion, adventure—and challenges they never could have anticipated.
I was so thrilled when I heard The Edge of Never was getting a sequel! Beautiful cover- love how it mirrors The Edge of Never cover. Check out the teaser and start counting down the days!
Camryn shrieks and I start laughing as we dash away from the cows and toward the car.
“Awww, shiiiit!” I yell when I step in a huge pile of it.
Camryn cackles with laughter and we both practically stumble the rest of the way through the field, me trying to scrape the shit off the bottom of my shoe while running at the same time and Camryn’s flip-flops getting caught on the ground trying to keep up with her feet.
“I can’t believe that just happened!” Camryn laughs as we finally make it back to the car. She arches her body over forward and props her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.
I’m out of breath, too, but I still relentlessly scrape the bottom of my shoe on the asphalt. “Dammit!” I say, rubbing my foot back and forth.
Camryn jumps up on the hood of the car, letting her legs hang over the front. “Can we finally say that we did it?” she asks with laughter in her voice.
I stand still finally and catch my breath. I look at her, at how beautiful and bright that smile of hers is and I say, “Yeah, babe, I think we can safely mark it off our list.”
“Good!” she says.
Then she points behind me. “Do it on the grass,” she says with one side of her mouth pinched into a hard line. “You’re just spreading it around doing it like that.”
I hop over into the grass and start rubbing my foot back and forth again. “Since when did you become an expert on shit?”
“Better watch your mouth,” she warns, getting into the driver’s seat.
“What are you going to do?” I taunt her.
She starts the Chevelle and revs the engine a few times pressing on the gas. There’s a cruel gleam in her eyes. She props her left arm across the top of the open window and next thing I know she’s driving slowly past me.
I give her the warning eye, but her grin just gets bigger.
“I know you won’t leave me here!” I shout as she goes past me.
Surely she wouldn’t….
She gets farther away and at first I call her bluff and just stand here, watching her get smaller and smaller…
Finally, I take off running after the car.

Cannot wait for this one! Camryn and Andrew are such a brilliant couple to read!
How about you?
Much Love!

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski



The Edge of Never
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbours his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.
But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the centre of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?
 
This wasn't what I was expecting but I really loved it! I loved it so much I actually found it hard to figure out what I liked and what I didn't!
 
What I loved:
  • Andrew- I loved his attitude, his love of adventure and his approach to life. I especially loved the way his relationship with Camryn developed! I could write pages on how much I loved Andrew, he was my favourite but I don't want to spoil anything or waffle on!
  • Asher- He had little screen time but he seemed like such a sweetheart! I loved his role in the family. Great name, great character!
  • Plot- Great storyline! I liked how the beginning focused on Camryn and Andrew's  point of view was slowly filtered. I loved the road trip aspect which was so unplanned it was perfect. I liked the stops and how they progressed the story. I enjoyed trying to figure out Andrew's secret- and getting it wrong!
       
What I didn't love as much:
  • Blake- He didn't play a big role but I was convinced he was a date rapist so I spent the whole book waiting for him to be revealed! I was a little disappointed when he turned out to be just a nice guy!
  • Damon- What an awful guy! Such a typical bad boyfriend- I knew full well he was going to cause trouble! Glad he got his comeuppance.

I loved the characters, the plot and can not wait to sample some more of Redmerski's work! Warning though- this one is very hot!
 
Did you love it too?
Much Love!
