Behind the Bars, the first beautiful and emotional standalone in the all-new Music Street Series from Brittainy C. Cherry is available NOW!

BLURB:

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.

I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen.

The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness.

Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn’t always the truth.

Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find.

And in a flash, she was gone.

Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans.

She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated.

Caged.

Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her.

Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again.

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.

When we met again, she was the darkest storm.

Excerpt:

By the way, what happened to Todd’s nose?” I asked. “I broke it,” Elliott said matter-of-factly. “What? How? Why?” He shrugged before turning to look out the window. “He called you a bad name.” “What was it?” “It doesn’t matter.” “Eli,” I started. He turned my way and locked his hazel eyes with my browns. “Jazz…” He shook his head. “It wasn’t true.” I swallowed hard, a big part of me certain Todd’s words held some form of truth. Elliott saw it in me—my fear. He kept shaking his head and whispered, “I don’t feel sorry for you. Sometimes you look at me like you think I feel sorry for you, and I want you to know I don’t. I think you’re perfect the way you are.” I quietly laughed at him repeating the words I’d told him earlier. A few tears rolled down my cheeks. “I’m a little messed up.” “I know.” He nodded. “That’s why I like you.” He went back to staring out the window, and I kept staring at him. And there it was. So small, so tiny, so real. Love. It wasn’t love, but it was the beginning of it. I knew I was young, and I knew it was stupid, but in that moment, I began to fall in love with the quiet boy who quietly cared for me. The boy who was scared and still strong. The boy who stood up for me when he was surrounded by reasons not to do such a thing. I hadn’t known much about love. I hadn’t known how it looked, felt, or tasted. I hadn’t known how it moved, how it flowed, but I knew my heart was tight and currently skipping a few beats. I understood the goose bumps covering my arms. I knew this stuttering boy who was sometimes so scared was someone worth loving. He was worth being the first one I gave my heart to. I knew Elliott Adams was love. And I was falling into him so fast.

Review by: Tatia

GO BUY THIS BOOK! Do not walk, RUN!!

This book was brilliantly breathtaking. The notes written in the bars on this page, the lyrics between the lines, Behind the Bars is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It's thought provoking, heartbreaking, and yet soul-restoring all at the same time. It makes you hope and believe that there are people like Elliott in the world. Ones that no matter what you've been through, what you've done, good or bad, they'll always be there. They'll always have words of wisdom. They'll always have a place waiting for you to call home. And then there is the beauty that is Jasmine. Sure, she's beautiful on the outside, but she's so much more. Her soul is fierce and forgiving. She loves those who don't deserve it, giving them numerous chances they don't see or take advantage of. She's protective, doing whatever it takes to help those she loves.

This book. Words don't adequately describe my love and adoration for it. These lyrics spoke to my being. I cried my heart out and yet found it being rebuilt. My faith was broken but within these pages, I found it being built back up. I think I highlighted at least half of the book. One highlight would turn into an entire page being highlighted. I wanted to be able to easily look back on the words that broke my ability to read anything else. Writing books is in Ms. Cherry's blood. I'm sure of it. You don't write stories like this if you weren't born to do it. This is one of my favorite reads EVER. The best book I've read all year, hands down. There is no competition. I could read it again and again and never grow old of it.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book

OMG If I could I would rate this book like 10 stars. This author... Every single book I read has touched me on some level. And this book was no different.

I don't want to post a long review, because trust me if you have every read a book of hers you will understand.

Eli... Had me from the very first page. What he went through, I can't even imagine, it freaking broke my heart and had me in tears. Even years later the way he was described as this cold hard big muscled guy, as you read all you want to do is just hug him and tell him it's going to be okay.

Jazz, I would have liked to hurt her mother. Seriously she is not worth the title of mother. I loved how that even though Jazz had her own demons and her own issues she never gave up on Eli. She was there even when he didn't want her around, just quietly being her.

Everything about this book will have you invested from beginning to end. It will have you smiling, then break your heart and then put it back together again. Amazing, Awesome Read. I can't wait to read the next book this author writes.
