The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . NOW THAT I’VE
FOUND YOU (The New York Sullivans, #1) . . .
The Sullivans’
are back. I have loved getting to know this family over the years. This was the
first time that I was able to find an immediate kinship with the two characters
before I had the chance to fulling be invested in their romance. I loved watching
Drake and Rosa fall. This was not a copy of what has been done in the series.
This was an opening to a different beginning for two souls. The reality star
and an artist did not seem to make a connection but the path they were both on
showed that we all can have someone to connect with.
Narration
from Eva Kaminsky has made me feel like I was coming home. She has that voice
the smooths the road and makes it all worth the wait for the next installment.
She makes it all come to life and gives you a deeper connection to the characters.
I love her smooth flow of diction and pacing. I found the audio to be a perfect
complement to Bella Andre’s work.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog
tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Bella Andre.
The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
Millions of readers/listeners have fallen in love with the San
Francisco and Seattle Sullivans. Now get ready to fall head over heels for the
New York Sullivans!
World-renowned artist Drake Sullivan doesn't paint women. Ever.
Not when he knows all too well just how destructive painter/muse relationships
can be. But on the day Rosa Bouchard walks onto the cliffs outside his Montauk
cottage, Drake is so captivated that he can't stop himself from bringing her to
life on canvas.
Shocked and horrified by the nude photos of her that have just hit
the Internet, reality TV star Rosa's every instinct is to run from her Miami
home and hide. After driving all night, she ends up in Montauk, New York, where
she doesn't know a soul and plans to lie low until she can figure out how to
deal with the media firestorm - and her own mother, who seems all too happy to
sell out Rosa's happiness for more fame, more fans, and more money. The very
last thing Rosa expects is to find, and to fall for, a sinfully sexy man like
Drake Sullivan.
Drake has never felt this way about anything he's painted...and
he's definitely never felt this way about a woman. When they kiss, everything
but sweet, breathless desire melts away. But can he convince Rosa to trust -
and to love - again after such a devastating betrayal?

Q&A with Author Bella Andre
·
Tell us about the process of
turning your book into an audiobook.
o I have
worked with Eva Kaminsky for many years, so as soon as I had the book done and
edited, I sent it over to her. And then weeks later, like magic, Eva sent me
the finished files for my review. Of course they were perfect, just like
always! I can never stop smiling while listening to her narration of my love
stories. She truly brings them to life!
·
How did you select your narrator?
o As soon
as I heard Eva Kaminsky, I knew I wanted to work with her. She has narrated
more than 35 audiobooks for me and I hope to continue to work with her for many
years to come!
·
How closely did you work with your
narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any
pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters?
o Eva is
such a pro that she was able to run with my books without any advice or
suggestions from me. It’s one of the many reasons I love working with her – she
always does an amazing job, no matter the genre or series.
·
Were there any real life
inspirations behind your writing?
o I’m
always inspired by the world around me. For the New York Sullivans, I am able
to pull from not only my extensive travels throughout New York state, but also
my summers living in a log cabin in the Adirondack mountains with my family. I
love writing about my favorite places!
·
How do you manage to avoid
burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for writing?
o I
absolutely love to travel, walk, cook and spend time with my friends and
family. Shared laughter, fun experiences and seeing new things all help fuel me
so that when I open my laptop or notebook to work on a book, I’m ready and
raring to go with lots of idea and inspiration.
·
How did you celebrate after
finishing this novel?
o I went
for a swim, made and ate a great dinner, then woke up the next morning and
started the next book!
·
In your opinion, what are the pros
and cons of writing a stand-alone novel vs. writing a series?
o I’m a big
believer in writing books in a series, because as a reader, I absolutely love
to follow characters and families through their lives. I write what I love to
read!
·
Have any of your characters ever
appeared in your dreams?
o YES! One
of my very first books – TAKE ME – came to me, almost in its entirety, in a
dream.
·
What bits of advice would you give
to aspiring authors?
o Read a
ton and write a ton. And hold focus, even when the noise of the world around
you might feel like it’s too loud to concentrate. Writing and reading will
always center you and fulfill you.
·
What’s next for you?
o I am
working on the fourth New York Sullivan book – Harry Sullivan’s love story! I
am so excited about this book. I’m pretty sure we’ve all been waiting to see
who the sexy academic falls in love with. ☺
