My Life as a Mixtape

2018

From award-winning author LJ Evans comes an emotionally charged, standalone romance between a sexy bassist and a small-town nurse who can’t walk away from each other when the chips fall down… “I always saw relationships as a burden instead of a gift...until Wynn showed me the way.” Lonnie Brennan may be the comic relief in the chart-topping band, Watery Reflection, but he’s also the one silently protecting it from behind the scenes. Which is how he ended up living in Tennessee and falling in love… with the Southern charm and sweet-tea lifestyle of the small town. When a sexy, redhead enters into the mix, he isn’t sure he’ll ever escape again. Wynn Nichols has always been the stable friend guiding the way for others until her world crumbles, and she slinks home with disappointment and failure following her. With divorce papers in hand, she isn't looking to start a new relationship. Certainly not one with a sexy musician who treats life like a series of jokes. When Lonnie finds himself suddenly in charge of his tiny niece, Wynn swoops in to help, and they form an unlikely friendship that gets them through the darkest days of their lives. But can they risk the relationship they need for a chance at a very unlikely happily ever after? Inspired by Chris Janson’s “Drunk Girl,” My Life as a Mixtape is the fourth heart-searing, slow-burn standalone in the My Life as an Album series.

Award winning author, LJ Evans, lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like Ted Lasso, Wednesday, Veronica Mars and Stranger Things. If you ask her the one thing she won’t do, it’s pretty much anything that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis. Which is exactly what LJ loves about fiction novels—the characters can be everything you’re not and still make their way into your heart. Find out more about LJ and her books at www.ljevansbooks.com
