Blog tour + Review Disgrace by Brittainy C. Cherry
Disgrace, an all-new romantic and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available NOW!
Synopsis:
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.
After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.
I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.
All I wanted was for him to come back to me.
Then, Jackson Emery appeared.
He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.
We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.
Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.
I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.
When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.
I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…
I prayed for him to be mine.
Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.
Review
Wow I
do not have enough words to describe this heartbreaking, emotional and dramatic
story. As always happens with Mrs. Cherry's stories, her words enveloped my
soul and remained forever engraved in my heart, but in this case they tore at
me, broke me and affected me very deeply because with this story the author hit
very close to home , my heart suffered so much in the course of the whole story
because it was as if it spoke directly to me, Grace is a reflection of my soul,
I felt it so deeply that it still makes me sob uncontrollably.
Jackson and Grace are two lost souls who feel very lonely despite having people around, both have gone through so much pain and loss that they hit bottom and do not find their way to the surface. But by chance fates they meet each other, and after overcoming their initial prejudices begin to relate and find a way to the surface together, find a way to heal their pain in the other, and both help the other to discover themselves. It is so beautiful to see them open, change and heal, that it still makes me shiver.
Grace is a brave protagonist, who always gives the best of herself to everyone no matter how badly they treat her. She completely forgets herself and lets the desires of others rule her heart even at the cost of her own happiness. I felt so identified with her, she made me feel so much.
Jackson is a completely lonely boy, with an alcoholic father, who throughout his life suffered bullying from others, who has only one dog as a friend; it is because of that and the losses that he suffers that he closes his heart to everyone and becomes the cool monster that everyone says he is, but that inside he is only a scared child in search of love. It provoked me so much tenderness, that I only wished I could enter the story and embrace him and sustain him through all the pain him felt.
I loved July Grace's sister and her brother-in-law Hank, supporting her unconditionally, and Uncle Alex, who was always there for Jackson.
This is a story of second chances, but above all it is a journey of self-discovery, which makes you reflect deeply about love and dependence, about self-love and selfishness, about loneliness, happiness and forgiveness. In a roller coaster of emotions that caused me such diverse feelings that I went from laughing, to crying, to uncontrollably sobbing from one scene to another.
The author does her magic and gives us a powerful story full of pain, loss, suffering, love, forgiveness, self-discovery and loneliness. Her words are like a balm for the soul of those of us who have felt lonely on some occasions despite all those around us.
Highly recommended for those who love drama like me

Excerpt:
Jackson
“I’ve read about boys like you in books, ya know,” she whispered, her fingers slowly spinning spirals on my chest.
“Oh, yeah? What did those books teach you about boys like me?”
“Well…” She bit her bottom lip, and with a small inhalation, she whispered, “They taught me to stay away.”
“Then why are you so close?”
She tilted her head up, looking me straight in the eyes. “Because in those stories, the heroine never ever listens.”
“And then there’s trouble?” I asked.
“Yes, and then there’s trouble.”
From the way she said those words, I knew trouble was exactly what she was in search of. We were the classic cliché. She was the good girl next door, I the monster from around the block. We were perfect opposites for the perfect storm, and she was asking me to be her next flaw, her greatest mistake.
And, well, who was I not to live up to her request?
“I could destroy you,” I warned.
“Or save me.”
“Is it worth the risk?”
“Isn’t it always worth the risk?”
The more she touched me, the more I wanted to touch her back. I wrapped my hands around her wrists flipping us around so she was now against the wall with her hands above her head. “I have rules.” I leaned in closer, lightly brushing my lips against her neck. God, she smelled good, like peaches and my next sin. “You can’t break these rules, either.” My tongue rolled from my mouth and circled against her neck before I gently sucked her skin.
She shivered at my touch. “What are they?”
“Rule one,” I whispered, my mouth moving across her collarbone. “You never stay the night.”
“Check.”
“Rule number two,” I said, dropping her left arm to the side. Taking my hand to the bottom of her blouse, I slowly raised it up and massaged her skin. “You never develop feelings.”
“That’s easy enough,” she replied, her breaths uneven as I teased at the top button on her jeans. “I don’t believe in feelings anymore.”
I didn’t know why, but that made me sad for her. I, too, didn’t believe in falling for people, but that was my norm. Grace seemed the type to believe in something bigger than love, so the fact that her belief was completely gone was a bit surprising.
Maybe we had more in common than I thought.
“Rule number three…we don’t talk about my life.”
“Like ever?”
“Never.”
“Okay.”
“And lastly, rule number four…” My mouth brushed against hers, and I slid my tongue slowly across her bottom lip. “If your favorite pair of panties get ripped, don’t expect me to replace them.”
