Hi,
there! I’m B.L. Berry and I am thrilled to be a part of the 2014 YA/NA
Blogfest. It has been exactly two weeks since my life flipped upside-down when
I released my debut novel, Love Nouveau,
to rave reviews. This NA romance is all about owning your flaws, the
inconvenience of falling in love, and trusting your instincts.
SYNOPSIS:
The only thing inevitable in love
is despair.
I knew from the start that he would wreck me.
Nothing could have prepared me for the day he walked into my life ...
or the day he walked out of it.
I self-destructed.
All that remained was a shell of the girl I once was.
SHATTERED.
And I don't know if I'll ever recover.

BOOK
BOYFRIEND Q&A: PHOENIX WOLFE
My
leading man, Phoenix Wolfe, is quickly making his way up the book boyfriend
ranks. He is beyond thoughtful, patient and always seems to know what Ivy needs
before she even realizes it. Phoenix has graciously agreed to answer a few fan submitted
questions for the 2014 YA/NA Blogfest.
Q: What did you feel when you saw Ivy for the
first time? Was it love at first sight?
Phoenix: Love at
first sight? Nah … I’m not convinced that kind of insta-love you hear about in
Hollywood or read in romance novels actually exists. My feelings for her
started as a slow burn but over time turned into a raging wildfire. But when I
saw Ivy walk into that crowded kitchen during the party, every fiber of my
being ached to know her … the real
her.
Q: If you
could change anything about Ivy, what would it be?
Phoenix: Honestly?
There’s not much I’d change about her. Ivy is a confident young woman who is
sure about who she is and what she wants out of life. She wears her flaws on
her sleeve and I really admire that about her. Ivy is everything I want in a
girlfriend, and everything I want to be as a person … you know, except for the
whole being a girl part. If I had to pick something, I’d say her family. She
deserves so much better than what they’re offering her. But in the end, Ivy
didn’t pick who she was born to, just like I didn’t have any choice in falling
in love with her.
Q: You are certainly loyal to your friend
Sully. How did you two meet?
Phoenix: Sully and
I grew up on the same street when we were kids. As my family fell apart, his
essentially took me in. He was a good kid. Made some questionable choices
growing up, but didn’t really begin to derail until we had gone our separate
ways in college. Deep down I’d like to believe that there’s still a good kid in
there. But I really don’t want to think about that bastard right now.
Q: Okay, moving on then. How’d you pull off the
surprise in New York?
Phoenix: [laughs.]
Never underestimate the power of my boyish charm and a little bit of flattery.
Q: Do you think you’re worthy of Ivy?
Phoenix: I know I’m
not. Don’t get me wrong … I live for that girl and would do anything for her,
but she can do so much better than me and I selfishly hope she never realizes
that. Each morning I wake up trying my damnedest to be the kind of guy she
deserves. But I fear that when she learns the truth she is going to leave me
high and dry. Even so, my fear will never stop me from at least trying to be
worthy of her love.
