Hi everyone! Are you ready to see our next tour sign-ups?

We are so excited to be able to bring you a Bookstagram Tour for The Embrace of Evergreen, written by Rayne Hawthorne. Out on 20th February 2024. The tour will run from 25th to 31st January 2025 and we'd love your help to promote this book!

The Embrace of Evergreen is the second book in the Unexpected Love series and is an interconnected standalone. Perfect if you love slow burn, contemporary romance filled with loss, found family, longing, forest hikes, glass blowing, sweet road trips with only one bed, friends to lovers, demi-rep, quirky best friends, and of course a HEA. There is also just the tiniest bit of unexplained magic that is deliberately open to reader interpretation.

This tour is open internationally for bookstagrammers who can post a review of the book! If selected, you’ll receive a confirmation email from us within a week.

Digital copies of The Embrace of Evergreen will be available for all tour hosts while physical copies will only be available for US-based hosts. Book one in the series, Beneath the Indigo Sky, will also be available upon request.

Here's the cover:

Ethan

I’ve been in love before. It's a fact that I cling to with frighteningly intense desperation as I try to convince myself that I’m normal. Ok, so I’ve only been in love once, but I know that for at least one brief, shining moment, the world and everything in it felt like magic. I know love exists. I know it does, because when I’m lying in bed alone at night, I can still feel it. I know deep in my soul that I’m capable of love. I have to be.

I don’t know why I continue to subject my broken, hollowed out shell of a heart to the idea of falling in love again, but I don’t have it in me to quit just yet. I’ll give it one more try. One more attempt to build a real life for myself before giving up, because some part of me is still holding on to hope, no matter how dangerous that is.

Love and romance aren't for me. When I was young and naïve I dreamed of them, just like everyone else I suppose. Then I fell in love, only to end up hurt. I fell in love again, only to get hurt again. Eventually, I learned my lesson. Love, romantic love at least, isn't usually real, and when it is, it never lasts. Every time I’ve fallen it’s been fast and hard, and every time I’ve ended up patching the broken, tattered pieces of my body and soul back together on my own. Love and I just aren’t compatible.

So why can't I stop watching the beautiful auburn-haired man that's recently become a regular at the coffee shop? I know what the result of indulging this hormone induced fascination will be. I’ll end up hurt, and alone, and wondering yet again how something that once seemed so good could have gone so desperately wrong.
