Release Celebration: Chocolate Aftertaste by Liz Grace Davis


 Dear followers and visitors,

As I write this post it’s midnight over here in Austria. This means the release celebrations for Chocolate Aftertaste can officially begin. I’m so excited to be publishing my second novel this year. I know I was the one who sat down to write the novel, but I had a lot of support from my family and friends (many writer friends) , especially those who watched the story unfold and believed in me from the start. I thank you all so very much.
I also want to thank a few friends who will be helping get the word out about the novel today. Drop by and say hello. Some of them even have a copy of the novel to giveaway, an excerpt or a review.

Nora’s story is very close to my heart because it’s more than just a love story. This is a story about a woman risking everything in order to find out who she really is. So many people suffer from the people pleasing disease (yes it is a disease) and end up sacrificing their dreams and their happiness just to make others happy. Nora’s mother died when Nora was a child and her father was devastated. In order to help him heal, she sacrificed her own happiness and allowed him to control her life, to take away her power of making her own choices. If you want to read more about what inspired me to write Chocolate Aftertaste, visit Cassie Deaton’s blog to read my guest post.

I'm also giving away two kindle copies of Chocolate Aftertaste. To enter, use the Rafflecopter below the post.

Thanks everyone for stopping by today. I hope you stay a little while.

At her pre-wedding dinner, Nora Darkin, the daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur, discovers her fiancé is not the man she thought he was. As her father hoists his glass to toast them, she makes an announcement: there will be no wedding to her father's right-hand man.

Due to the fresh rift driven between her and her father, Nora escapes to the quaint town of Dreara. Determined to live her life her own way, she makes new friends and pursues her lifelong desire of becoming a chef. Ethan Danes, a neighbour with his own broken heart, helps soothe hers. 

Just as Nora discovers what it means to be happy, and she begins to fall in love with Ethan, a woman from his past re-enters his life…

Okay, back to the Meme. Enjoy the 7 sentences!
Taking a deep breath, she swung her legs out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
An old footed tub leaned against one wall, facing a basin with a heart-shaped mirror above it.
There was nothing beautiful about the bathroom. The basin was stained in some places, and the mirror was cracked on one side of the heart. The cottage, like her, had a past that had tainted it in different ways. If no one else understood how she felt, maybe it would. It too had gone through a lot and had scars to prove it—scratched floors, cracked walls, and creaky stairs. But it was still standing; still charming.

Now it's time to announce the lucky 7. They are: Debbie, Larissa, Julia, Ashley, Tela, Cecilia, Diana.
