Release Day Review
The Beautiful Now
by
M. Leighton


~ Synopsis ~  
Dane James worked my stepfather’s fields. He was the boy next door. 

Strong. 
Hardworking.
Forbidden.

From the moment we met, we were star-crossed lovers—always wanting, never having. We loved each other for most of our lives, but right from the beginning destiny had other plans.  She knew we would fall in love.  She knew we would fall apart.  Over and over again, like the curse of a recurring nightmare.  Or the hope of a familiar dream.  

Our past was tumultuous.  Our future was bleak.  But the one thing we always had was the beautiful now.

Until that was taken from us, too.

✩ "I truly wish I could give this one more five stars, I would definitely give 10 if I could. This is one of those books, you just know from the beginning is going to pull at your heartstrings and it really does. I've read of ton of books this year and this one just moved to the top of my favorites list."   --  Catherine
✩ "The Beautiful Now is exactly that - Beautiful. It's love story of epic proportions."  --  Courtney
✩ "What I loved was that their story transcends the span of 22 years and shows that love can last forever even when all the odds are stacked against you. That there is always a way even when we think all hope is lost. That even when we do what we think is best and hurt the ones we love that their is forgiveness to be found and second chances are a blessing not to be taken lightly. And when faced with the harsh realities of life, love can still prevail over all."  --  Jennifer

✩ "I started reading - and I kept on reading. I couldn't stop. It was all so heartbreakingly sad and beautiful and sweet and frustrating and I just could not stop."  --  Bianca

~ Review ~  
She had me at the dedication. I knew at that moment that this book was going to be an emotional journey and I was absolutely in love with Dane and Brinkley's story. Love is like lightening...it can strike at any time. Little did Brinkley know at 12 yrs old that she was no longer the keeper of her heart.
This book spans a 20+ years and is told in present and past tense. You will feel there connection grow as the years pass and endure their hurdles right along with them. Dane and Brinkley were like a live wire. Their connection stronger than the years forced between them. Michelle once again delivers strong characters that will linger in the back of your mind long after you have completed the story. This was so much more than a second
chance romance. It was a compelling story consequences, forgiveness, growth, understanding and most of all LOVE!

Don't waste another moment....go #1click The Beautiful Now!

She has the best job in the world, a husband who treats her like a princess, and a dog that's so smart she may one day write a novel, too. You can often find Michelle hidden away in her cave, crafting a new story, or out in the sunshine enjoying some quiet time with her man. Movies, wine, and good food are frequently thrown into the mix, and exercise on days that start with Q.
