I am turning over my blog today to Author, Natalie-Nicole Bates. Here is the blurb for her new release, Back to You.. I look forward to reading this one:
On the surface, Lynsey Reznor seems to have it all. She is beautiful, brilliant, and a successful true-crime writer who has been living the past decade in Miami. But what Lynsey lacks is what she needs the most—a family.
After the death of her mother, and yet another failed relationship, Lynsey makes an impulsive decision to return to her hometown of Unity. But Unity will present its own bittersweet memories, most notably, her first love, Nick Lincoln.
Twenty years ago, Nick broke teenager Lynsey's heart when he decided to marry another. He had his own private reasons- reasons he never explained to Lynsey. Now she is back, along with a chance to reclaim her love. But Lynsey wants answers from him that he may never be able to give out of duty and guilt.
My Inspirations for Writing Back To You
By Natalie-Nicole Bates
First and foremost, Back To You is a romance. It
follows the relationship between Lynsey Reznor and Nick Lincoln. Two basically
polar opposite characters who have been in love with each other since they were
teenagers.
I wanted to write a story with a true love never dies kind of theme, and
explore the situation of dating again after the demise of a long-term
relationship, which is difficult to understand unless you’ve actually been
through it.
But there is also another reason I wrote Back To
You, but unfortunately, it got a little mixed up along the way.
For those of you familiar with me, you know I have
another Unity-based story called Change of Address. Change of Address was
released before Back To You. In reality, Back To You is actually the first
story in the Unity series, not Change of Address. But that is life, that is
publishing.
When I envisioned the series in my mind, I saw
Lynsey Reznor as the central character. Through Lynsey, the reader would be
introduced to the town of Unity, and the characters who live there.
In Back To You, I introduce the reader to the most
eligible bachelors of Unity. As Lynsey looks for love, she encounters a number
of potential suitors.
We meet Evan Monroe, who is perfect marriage
material. We find out he has recently been in a serious accident, and is still
recovering. He’s an absolute doll, but Lynsey never felt an instant chemistry
with Evan.
Lynsey then reacquaints herself with Owen Mitchell. Lynsey
jokes that she met Owen over an open grave. Owen is an extremely complicated
man. I call him a provocateur. He
also has a very shocking, heartbreaking past which is not explored in Back To
You, but the reader knows there’s more than just an ordinary man beneath the
skin of Owen Mitchell.
And then there is Caleb Smith. The gregarious,
larger-than-life man that the women love and the men despise. Like Lynsey,
Caleb is looking for love, and it’s hinted that Lynsey and Caleb had a
relationship in the past. Caleb is Nick’s greatest completion for Lynsey’s
heart.
We also briefly meet Ryan Maine, but Ryan is off
limits ladies, he has eyes strictly for Amii Sloane, and he’ll do whatever he
must do to have her—whether Amii wants him or not.
By the end of Back To You, the reader has a pretty
good idea of what might be coming in the future. We have bachelors looking for
love and just waiting for their stories to be written.
I hope you enjoy Back To You and Change of Address.
Look forward to Amii and Ryan’s story in Amii’s Angel, the next Unity story
coming soon.
