Among the Echoes Update: Now added to the Wrecked & Ruined Series



*Tap Tap* May I have your attention please. I have an announcement to make.

As of today, I will be adding Among the Echoes into the Wrecked and Ruined Series as book 2.5. Allow me to explain why this is just now happening.

When I originally marketed Among the Echoes, I chose to promote it as a standalone and leave it out of the Wrecked and Ruined series. I wanted that series to include only those individuals who were DIRECTLY involved in the wreck: Brett, Caleb, Sarah. (You will note Savor Me is also not included in that series officially.) But more than that, I really wanted to give you an "Oh shit!" moment at the end when you realized that Leo was crossing over to Broken Course.

Back in August when Echoes released, I didn't want you to know that Leo was Sarah's man ahead of time. I just wanted you to meet Leo in his own element before forming your opinions of him. Basically, I wanted you to fall in love with Leo without Sarah's reputation overshadowing him. I needed to give him a fighting chance before I fed him to the Sarah haters. (And trust me there are plenty. Rightly so.) It worked. MOST people fell in love with Leo (though some didn't.) Some loved him so much that they sent me hate mail about what a terrible person I was for hooking him up with Sarah. I laughed. That was fun.

Now. Let's fast forward to Friday when I released Broken Course. It became blindingly obvious to me that, while I enjoyed the hell out of the shocked reactions at the end of Echoes, I had confused several of you by not announcing that Leo was first met in Among the Echoes. Several of my readers didn't realize that the books tied together at all. I want to apologize for that. I love a good twist, but it appears I may have twisted it a little too hard.

So full disclosure...
★ Yes. Among the Echoes is a complete standalone that includes an epilogue for Slate and Erica. It is not Leo's book, but he does have a substantial role.
★ With the exception of the last sentence of the book, there are no cross over characters or situations from Changing Course and Stolen Course in Among the Echoes.
★You do NOT have to read Among the Echoes in order to understand and enjoy Broken Course. Leo's past is explained in Broken Course.
★ If you would like to fully experience Leo's past ahead of time, it is suggested that you read Among The Echoes between Stolen Course (Book 2) and Broken Course (Book 3).

So there you have it. I'm sorry for the confusion. Well, I'm kinda sorry anyway. Seriously, that hate mail after Echoes was hilarious. Thank you so much for reading! Now I must go. It's wine time!!!

BROKEN COURSE (Wrecked & Ruined #3): NOW AVAILABLE




Title: Broken Course (Wrecked and Ruined, #3)
Author: Aly Martinez
Release Date: November 06, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Add to your TBR: Goodreads



Synopsis: 

Seven years ago, my life changed forever. One accident and the person I saw in the mirror no longer resembled the woman I used to be. I was lost and confused inside my own body. I felt alone and disconnected from the world, carrying the incredible weight of guilt and loss that wasn't even mine to harbor. 



Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn't hurt to breathe. Don't get me wrong. Leo isn't perfect. He has his own cross to bear, and the truth is, that might be why I fell for him in the first place. But despite everything he does for me, learning to forgive myself is infinitely harder than overlooking the flaws of another. 



Now, the secrets and lies of our past have begun to dictate our future—threatening to ruin us before we get the chance to try. Perhaps we were cursed from the start. Or maybe, just maybe, the remnants of our fractured lives will fit together to form one whole, where love isn’t questioned and being happy is…well, easy. 



Can a second broken soul be enough to fill the voids of my own? Or will such scarred pasts prove too much for our love alone to overcome?







**Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone.**
