What
Readers are saying:
This poignant
redemption story about second chances and forgiveness yanked my emotions all
over the place. I cried, I yearned, I hoped. A beautiful story about what true
love is and does. – Charissa Stastny, author of Between Hope and the Highway
and the Rules out Romances Series.
A heartfelt romance
with a powerful message about the sanctity of human life. If you've ever simply
needed a friend, The Songs That Brought
Me Back will resonate--and leave you thankful for the people in your life. -Taylor
Dean, author of I’m With You and Chasing Fireflies.
Beautifully raw and
emotional, and full of exquisitely swoony moments, this story hooked me from
beginning to end (I read it in one sitting). I couldn't put it down! The
characters are rock solid, imperfectly perfect (especially Ethan), and the
magnetic chemistry was mesmerizing. – Katie from Katie’s Clean Book Collection
Second chances are a
powerful thing and in this novel we see how redemption and starting over can
bring light back into ones soul. – Sheila from Why Not Because I Said So Blog
Another remarkable read by Mylissa Demeyere. Ethan and
Ainsley had me laughing and crying as they face their own demons and fall in
love while doing it. This book adds even more depth as it confronts suicide
head on. Suicide has become an epidemic that some are afraid to address;
Demeyere brings it to light from both the victims and the survivors giving us
insight on the struggles of so many. It does not disappoint and I, again, am
excited to see what comes next from this talented writer. – Amazon

Excerpt
ETHAN
“The song changed, and a fast, hypnotic rhythm I recognized
from the radio blasted through the place. I held onto Ainsley and started
swaying to the beat. For me, this was second nature, but Ainsley felt stiff and
unwilling to move along with the sway of the music. I got closer to her and
held her near.
I released our intertwined fingers and ran my hands
up her arms, loving the way her body responded to my touch. The people around
us bumped and swung on the dance floor, completely oblivious to the spark and
heat building between us. My hands traveled down her
back and held onto her hips. “Feel the beat.” My voice came out husky, affected
by her so close to me. I moved her gently to the rhythm of the music and felt
her body respond to my ministrations. I fought off the shivers coursing through
my own body, feeling her pressed up to me like this. And like a light switch
being turned on, she reciprocated. Her hips joined me, her arms wrapped around
my neck, and her eyes found mine and held my gaze. She was locked in rhythm
with me, our bodies moving in total sync with the music, rocking to a perfect
beat, unaware of anything around us. Focused solely on each other. There
wasn’t a more perfect moment. Staring down at her, I
felt my heart beat faster. I knew I loved this woman in my arms. I felt the
cord that was wrapped around us tug us closer together. I leaned in the last
leg of the distance and pressed my lips to hers. All the fire I had
experienced paled in comparison to what I felt when I pressed my mouth to hers.
Fireworks exploded. Her lips weren’t unfamiliar to me. But that first kiss had
been all about showing her I cared. That I was there to take care of her. This
was all my bottled up want, need, and love that came bursting out to the
surface in a hot melding of two people meeting each other in a searing kiss.
Ainsley must have felt the buildup. She met me with as much passion, opening up
to me in complete acceptance. Our tongues tangled, and I pulled her closer,
needing to feel her flush against me. How I had craved this for so long. I felt her hand flatten against my chest, and my muscles
responded to her touch. My whole body was on fire, craving her touch.
