REVIEW: Live For Me (Blurred Lines, Book 2) by Erin McCarthy

JennieB+ Reviewsbiracial heroine / Jane Eyre / music industry / New Adult / Older Man/Younger Woman / Series8 Comments

Dear Ms. McCarthy, I managed to make it all the way through the first book in the series without realizing that it was based on Wuthering Heights, even though the hero and heroine were named Heath and Cat. In my defense, it was definitely a loose interpretation. The parallels between ... more >

REVIEW: Sweet by Erin McCarthy

JiaC+ Reviewscollege / Ebooks / New Adult / Penguin3 Comments

Dear Ms. McCarthy, I read your debut new adult novel, True, earlier this year. While I liked it overall, I thought there were some major flaws and the ending failed to work for me. That said, it wasn’t enough to deter me from the sequel, Sweet. My interest was only ... more >

Dear Author May Book Club: Author Q&A with Erin McCarthy

JaneBook ClubBook-club54 Comments

1) New Adult is exploding right now. Why do you think that it’s resonating with readers? I think it’s resonating with readers because it bridges the gap between YA and traditional romance. It’s about the pivotal point in life where for the first time ever there is no parental supervision, ... more >
