Cedar Fort Publishing brings you…
Olivia Tate is a broken shell of a girl haunted by the tragic events that fill her past. She has closed herself off from the world, each day grasping at something—anything—to live for. Convinced there will never be a way out, she seeks solace in the depths of her medicine cabinet. When she wakes up days later in the hospital she is introduced to Jude, the quiet stranger responsible for saving her life. She never could have guessed then that her mysterious rescuer would end up saving her life a second time, while simultaneously turning her world upside down. A modern-day romance with a twist, Emerald City has a little bit of something for everyone!
Praise for Emerald City:
“It’s a heart-wrenching love story about forbidden love. A love that a man will sacrifice heaven and fight hell just to hold the woman he loves. Alicia K. Leppert went beyond the typical Paranormal Romance. She wrote an emotional, heart-melting love story with Olivia and Jude’s forbidden love—a love that will not be denied. Leppert writes incredible, heart-stopping romance. My heart is still in awe of the tender, intimate way Jude loves Olivia. Alicia K. Leppert thank you for Olivia and Jude’s beautiful story and thank you for a breathtaking, forbidden love story.” –Debbie, I Heart YA Books
“I was drawn into Emerald City from page one. While it starts out a little dark I was pulled right into the story of Olivia and the mysterious young man from the next building. If I hadn’t been so tired I would have read straight through the night.” –Shanda, LDS Women’s Book Review
“From the preface to the last page, I was hooked. The characters came alive and I felt like I was right there in Seattle with them going through their lives with them. The descriptions were fantastic and made it easy for me to imagine everything taking place. I was left with a need at the end. A need to know what happens next, I was so in rapture with this book. This is definitely quite the debut novel. I will be excited to see more from Alicia Leppert in the future.” –Hillary, Goodreads
“It was a lovely, romantic, twist-leading, mysterious book that pulls your emotions in so many different ways that it is almost impossible not to love this book, at least, in my opinion! I would recommend this book to people who love emotional romance books that have something more, and to anyone who is, or has ever experienced depression or knows someone who has or is. It is a powerful book that I could not praise highly enough; I loved it more than words can convey.” –Faye, A Daydreamer’s Thoughts
“Wow…another great debut novel. It’s a great love story that dives into some really deep subjects along the way…I will say that that this may be one of the best 2012 debuts I’ve read this year so far! Written so the pages keep flying and you can’t put it down…I highly suggest you pick this up….well…4/10/12!” –Jacque, Good Family Reads
