Sound Bites

The Blurb

Renee Evans has a knack for trouble. After walking in on her best friend and boyfriend in bed together, twenty-five year-old Renee flees sunny Los Angeles and her dream job as a music journalist and returns to her hometown of Boston – only to meet Dylan Cavallari, the mysterious, aspiring musician who lives in her apartment building. Dylan’s piercing gaze and womanizing demeanor make him exactly the type of guy that Renee should steer clear of – which is most likely the reason she falls for him. But when Renee’s troublesome ex comes back and threatens to drive her and Dylan apart, Renee is forced to face her past and save her relationship with Dylan before it's too late.

Sound Bites dramatizes what happens when Renee finds herself caught between a painful past and an uncertain future. Happiness turns out to be within her grasp, but it all depends on whether she can trust herself enough to make the right decisions. Sound Bites is a novel about love, friendship, betrayal, forgiveness, and the power of music to help you find your way.

Excerpt 2:

When I arrived back in L.A. the following week, I had a new and improved attitude. I told myself that I would stop over-analyzing every aspect of my relationship and start living one day at a time. Maybe my forever feelings about David would change in time. Maybe they wouldn’t. But I loved David, right now, at this moment in my life. And with my new outlook in mind, I went right from the airport to his house to surprise him.

I surprised him all right.

I strolled in his front door, through the living room, down the hallway, and threw open his bedroom door, not expecting what was waiting for me on the other side. 

 

I stood there in a momentary lapse of paralysis, taking everything in, as David’s eyes stared back at me in horror, followed by another pair of eyes. Eyes I knew all too well. Eyes that belonged to someone I loved and trusted more than life itself. Eyes I knew that, no matter how many times I stared back at them, would never look the same again.

Somehow, after gathering the scattered pieces of my brain and piecing them back together, I managed to unbuckle my feet from the floor and back away from the deluded scene that was unfolding before my eyes. My legs guided me in the reverse direction as the outline of their figures became smaller and smaller. 

 

And then I did the only thing that I could manage to do in my state of shock. I ran.

And I never once looked back.
