Happy Release Day to Jessica Sorensen and book 3 in the Nova Series – NOVA AND QUINTON: NO REGRETS! Make sure to enter for a chance for a giveaway below! Good luck!


SynopsisToday is the first day of Quinton Carter’s new life. The toxic guilt of his past left him in pieces-but one girl unexpectedly put him back together. Thanks to Nova Reed, Quinton can finally see the world with clear eyes. She’s the reason his heart is still kicking behind the jagged scar on his chest. And he would love to have her in his arms every minute of the day . . . but he’s not ready yet.

Playing drums in a band and living with her best friends are just some of the highlights of Nova’s life. But the best new development? Talking to Quinton on the phone each night. She wishes she could touch him, kiss him, though she knows he needs time to heal. Yet shocking news is on the way-a reminder of life’s dark side-and Nova will need Quinton like he once needed her. Is he strong enough to take the final leap out of his broken past . . . and into Nova’s heart?

Excerpt

“I have to tell you something else, but it’s not good—it’s bad.” Before I can chicken out, I hurry and sputter, “Someone gave me a bag of meth today and I have it underneath my mattress.” As soon as I say it, I wonder why the hell I thought this was a good idea, throwing this on her. I need to stop relying on her so much—need to stand on my own two feet.
I’m about to hang up, because really it’s the only choice, but then she says, “Did you do any of it?”
“No.” My voice shakes as I grip the side of the mattress and battle to breathe evenly.
“Do you want to?” she asks calmly.
“Yes.” My voice is full of desperation.
“Are you… are you going to?” There’s a hint of worry in her tone.
“I’m not sure,” I admit. “I want to, but I also want to throw it away.”
“Then throw it away,” she says, as if it’s the easiest thing in the world to do.
“I don’t think I can.” My hands quiver just at the thought of it and I rest my forehead on the mattress, still on my knees “It feels fucking impossible.”
“Yes, you can.” She sounds so certain and I have no idea how she’s doing it—managing to sound so calm when I know she can’t be. “Just take it and dump it down the toilet. You can do this. I know you can.”
“You have too much faith in me,” I say, slipping my fingers between the bed and the mattress, fighting the urge to hang up on her and turn to what’s only inches away from my fingertips.
“No, I have the right amount,” she replies. “Now let me know when you have it and you’re headed to the bathroom. And don’t hang up on me.” It’s like she can read my mind.
I sit there forever, going back and forth with what I want and need to do. At one point I grab the bag of crystal and put it back. Then pull it out again and open it, staring at the white crystals so close I can almost taste them. But I can also hear Nova breathing on the other end. Soft and full of concern. Acting calm, when I’m sure she’s freaking out. I want to throw them away just for her, but I have to wonder if it’s possible to care for someone so much that I’d give this up. Do I care for her that much?
After a lot of deliberating, I come to one simple answer.
Yes. I care about her that much.
I get to my feet and make my way to the bathroom, not speaking. Then I lift up the toilet seat and, shutting my eyes, I tip the bag over, pour the contents into the water, and flush them down.
“Did you do it?” Nova asks at the sound of the flushing.
I press my lips together, resting back against the bathroom wall, realizing how sweaty I am and how much I’m gasping for air. “I did.”
“See, I knew you could do it,” she says with relief in her voice. “I knew you’d do the right thing.”
The right thing? Is that what I just did? Sometimes it feels like it is, but there are other times when it feels like what I’m doing is so wrong and disrespectful to Lexi. But through the right and wrong, there’s always one thing that gives me hope and that’s Nova. She’s what keeps me going.

    Right now my favorite series is Callie & Kayden, but there are a lot more series written by Jessica Sorenson I have yet to read, so I am sure I will have a new favorite once I read more of her books.
    Thanks for this giveaway!!

  2. Staci Pope

    I haven’t read any of her series yet. I have Callie & Kayden on my nook.

  3. Michelle T

    If I absolutely had to pic I guess I would go with Callie and Kayden but that’s a very hard decision!!

  4. Lindsey Tummins

    I Love them all! Callie and Kayden was probably my favorite, until Nova and Quinton! I can’t wait to start reading it! Such an exciting & emotional series!!

  5. Cary I

    Can’t wait to read the ending to the Nova and Quinton story and then to find out that Tristan is getting his own book too. SO EXCITED!

  6. Kristy

    The Coincidence series is my absolute favorite!!!! Love it! I love the Secret series and the Nova series. But I would have to go with the Coincidence books.

  7. Kim Urban

    Ella and Micha still hold a slight edge over Callie and Kayden for me but it is very slight

  8. Melissa C.

    I have read a few of her books and loved them all so I am not playing favorites. lol

  9. tracy

    I truly enjoyed Breaking Nova. Looking forward to finishing their story. Thanks for the chance to win.

  10. Beth Scoggin

    I haven’t read any of her books yet but I’m most excited to read the books about Callie and Kayden

  11. Jessica Williams

    Ella and Micha has been my favorite series. I can’t wait for their children’s book to come out later this year!

  12. Cynthia M.

    I love The Coincidence series with Callie and Kayden, and The Secret series with Ella and Micha! <3 Both series deal with serious issues that individuals face in real life. I think Jessica just writes the stories perfectly, and she makes us understand that we can pull through in tough times, and that if we just let someone in to help things can be different.

  13. Rachelle

    So far I love all her books 🙂 Callie and Kayden are my favorite though! Thanks for the awesome giveaway 🙂
