August Moon
Release Date: May 2014
Summary from Goodreads:
What do you do when the
one who broke your heart, is the only one who can fix it?
There is nothing in this world stronger than the powerful emotion of being in love. Except, maybe the paralyzing pain of a broken heart.
Moving to a small unfamiliar beach town in the summer before her senior year of high school is really going to suck. Raven, a black haired beauty, from a well- off family was certain about that. Miserable in her circumstance’s, nothing could convince her otherwise, until Raven meets Quinn, a local with a love for surfing and a bad reputation to go with it. Despite the very different worlds they live in, their desire for each other is undeniable. Raven’s fears and misery start to vanish as she and Quinn fall deeper and deeper into each other.
But things change drastically when Raven is unknowingly used as a pawn, in a turn of disastrous events, caused by Quinn’s older brother.
The events that follow could silence Raven’s heart for eternity and completely destroy what’s left of Quinn’s soul.
August Moon is a captivating story of young love. Bringing two unlikely hearts together. Only to be shattered by one tortuous decision. Putting these star-crossed lovers on course for the ultimate challenge of forgiveness.

My review
My review
Raven moved from Brooklyn in a small seaside town during her senior year of high school . She's terrified at the thought of facing a new school, finding herself without friends. Luckily her cousin Jo, of which she is a close friend, lives there. The two cousins go together to the sea to meet Jo's friends. Raven knows the most beautiful lifeguard of the world, Quinn, and immediately falls in love with him. The guy is very taken by her . The two are very different. Raven has Italian origins, is very rich, and has a happy and united family while Quinn is the son of a firefighter and a nurse, has a brother in jail and another is taking the wrong path . But they believe that their love is strong enough to overcome their differences.
I loved Quinn, he's really a good guy. He tries to help the mother to juggle a very demanding job and the care of children and tries to save his brother Declan and to protect him makes a huge sacrifice. He's a really special guy , very much in love, brave, fond of his family .... is the guy who all would like to have and the ideal son .
It 's a very sweet and romantic novel , a story of teenage love: it talks about love at first sight , sea , family, friendship , jealousy...It's written in simple language, sliding and addictive: once you start you can not leave him. I'm looking forward to read the second .
A must read for anyone who loves young adult novels

About the Author
I am a Young Adult Author, My
first Novel August Moon will be released in late spring 2014. Besides writing I
love to read Romance, YA, ChicLit, Fantasy, Paranormal and a good auto
biography never hurt anyone. My other greatest passion is animals, I love them
all, but I have a weakness for dogs, I wish I could save every single one that
needs saving. I have a dog Tank, he’s my heart and he’s a big… mush, I bite his
face all day long and he lets me. I also love mini pigs, one day I will have
one. My fiancé Chris doesn’t think so, but what does he know. I think I’m an
amateur photographer, but really I just like to take pictures and sometimes
they come out really good. I love Riding on the back of Chris’s Harley, it’s my
favorite form of transportation. I’m obsessed with the Twilight Saga, those
books literally changed my life. Tattoos are sexy, I have seven. I pretty much
love anything with a skull on it. My thumb is very green, just ask my air
plants. I can cook my ass off, just ask Chris. I enjoy being active in all
different ways- hiking, biking, camping, taking Tank for a 3 mile walk, working
out or sitting on the couch all day catching up on my DVR recordings. I love to
dress up and wear make up and accessories (I have a ring addiction, that I
think I might need some counseling for) and heels, but I can get dirty on a
camping trip or hang out in my sweats and a tee all day, I will even walk Tank
in Pj’s with no make -up on(yep, you heard me, Pj’s, no make up- outside in
public) I come from a big crazy Italian family and I wouldn’t have it any other
way. And just because I want to give her props, I think Marilyn Monroe is the
sexiest, hottest, bad-ass bitch in the history of bitches ( bitches meaning all
us girls.)
