More Than Words: Bestselling authors and real-life heroines Every year, Harlequin's More Than Words award is given to three real-life heroines, women whose courage and vision have helped change people's lives for the better. Once again, three bestselling Harlequin authors have written stories inspired by these remarkable women. In Red at Night, Stella and Jonah are total opposites. She's the girl with purple hair from the wrong part of town. He's a high school senior who hangs with the cool crowd. Until a car accident leaves him haunted by guilt, and Jonah starts spending time at Stella's favorite refuge…the local cemetery. Stella knows she should keep her distance—after all, she spent her girlhood being bullied by Jonah's friends. Once he's sorted out his tangled emotions, Jonah won't have time for her anymore. Too bad she's already fallen for him…. Look for all three ebooks inspired by real-life heroines: Red at Night by Katie McGarry, You Are Here by Liz Fichera and The Gift of a Good Start by Earl Sewell. Visit the Harlequin More Than Words website, at www.harlequinmorethanwords.com, or your favorite ebook retailer to download these free novellas today.

Red at Night

kudos honestly to the back story of this book.

I liked the characters Stella and Jonah. They were so interesting and complex. It was a beautiful building up of their arc of growth, daring to dream bigger than their reality, standing up and speaking up. however, it ended up  falling flat at the end by the abrupt period put into this. I know it is a novella, but I think this story ended up in the climax of the story, and I really think this deserved a better built resolution.

I mean, it seemed pretty typical of YA contemporary romance. I haven't read other books by MgGarry. Maybe I'll try.

Dicen que no hay nada mejor que la realidad y este libro está basado en hechos reales. Ahora, si tienes la mente si mucha imaginación como yo habrás pensado “¿ELLOS SE ENAMORARON EN LA VIDA REAL? AWWW TENGO QUE LEER ESTO YA” En mayúsculas pienso, grito en mi cabeza, de ahí que esté tan loca. Pero no, no es sólo sobre una historia de amor, sé que eso es lo que parece que vende pero no es sólo eso.

Este libro está inspirado y escrito alrededor de la Fundación Goodie Two Shoes, que lo que hace es donar zapatos a niños y jóvenes. Sé que para la mayoría de nosotros, un par de zapatos es casi nada, damos por seguro que los tendremos inmediatamente si los necesitamos. Esta fundación aparte de entregar las donaciones, deja que los beneficiarios elijan, y no hay nada más importante que una persona aprenda a que tiene opciones, que no todo tiene que seguir siendo de una manera, además que tener algo nuevo y que nos guste nos sube mucho el ánimo. Quedé completamente fascinada y conmovida por esta Fundación, tanto así que me gustaría poder algún día hacerlo aquí en país.

Esta novela aparte de darnos algo nuevo de Katie McGarry era darnos a conocer y apoyar la fundación, y lo ha conseguido porque más allá de la historia romántica que es muy a la McGarry, los puntos más altos de emoción para mí fueron cuando Goodie Two Shoes tiene lugar en la historia, tanto como para Jonah como para mí fueron momentos en los que nos hicieron más conscientes de nuestro entorno.

Quizá todo esto de la fundación haya movido mis emociones y estoy siendo no tan parcial, pero créanme que es una historia bonita, como dije más arriba, muy a lo McGarry.

I totally want this as an actual book. I'm kind of craving more Jonah and Stella.

* i actually read the short stories tying up the pushing the limits and thunder road worlds* I am so happy I read them! They were so prefect and made me smile so much. I loved seeing all these characters and seeing them so happy and where life took them was lovely!

This review was originally posted on Caity Reads.

This is a beautiful, moving short story. This is a story about two teenagers who are complete opposites. They have completely different lives. Stella is a poor girl who was moved from place to place all her life. Jonah is a rich guy who hangs out with all the popular kids. They’ve had a complicated past together, relating to one of Jonah’s friends and some of his actions, but they are able to move past it when they meet in a cemetery and start spending time there together. I absolutely loved this. The character development is phenomenal. It’s definitely worth a read, plus it’s free!

Cute. But not even close to her best work. I think she did succeed in bringing about awareness about the foundation because that bit fascinated me the most

I liked the story and look forward to reading more stuff by her soon. 

3 stars and a C.
