“Brittainy C. Cherry has the ability to shatter your heart and heal it with the same story.” - The Bookery Review
"Whenever I hold a book by Brittainy C. Cherry, one of today's most beloved contemporary authors, I'm certain of one thing: I'm about to fall in love. And I'm never wrong.
It's not just the magnetic nature of the writing, the moving plot, or the sometimes startlingly realistic characters. There's that unique scent of the author that awakens our senses, drawing us into the pages, experiencing her loves and heartbreaks as if they were our own.
In A Disastrous Love , we feel the desperation of the heroine who pretends to be tough—Hazel had to be that way; learning to take care of herself as a teenager wasn't a choice. All she wants is to disappear from Eres, a small town in Nebraska, fleeing with her pregnant mother to free her from her abusive stepfather. So she accepts the job on a ranch. As if spending the day with pigs and bales of hay weren't bad enough, she's also forced to deal with the bad mood of her boss, Ian Parker, a complete jerk also known as the town's biggest player.
For Ian, the ranch is just a way to make a living. He dreams of music, stages, and a huge crowd screaming his name. However, no matter how dedicated he and the band are, their songs always seem to lack that "something extra" that will lift him out of the doldrums and onto the top of the Billboard charts. Frightened, Ian finds an answer when he approaches Hazel, an unhappy yet beautiful reminder of the past he's so desperately trying to suffocate.
Such different temperaments, such distinct desires... yet friendship finds fertile ground to take root, and, surprised, Ian and Hazel realize they have much more in common than they suspected. They also begin to suspect that "best friends" may not be enough to explain what's going on between them.
What a beautiful melody Hazel and Ian are! A breathtaking romance that warms the heart with the knowledge that no matter how bumpy the road, a porch light will always be on to light the way.”
