SYNOPSIS

Skylar Nixon is a twenty-seven year old failed actress with no Plan B. After a humiliating stint on a reality TV show crushes what’s left of her childhood dream, she finds herself back in her hometown with no money saved, no college degree, and no confidence she’s anything but a joke—a small town starlet who couldn’t hack it in the big city.
When she runs into former classmate Sebastian Pryce, she can’t believe the hot body and chiseled jaw belong to the shy, troubled loner she knew ten years before. He’s not exactly friendly at first, and she’s heard the rumors about his tragic past, but something in his sad eyes intrigues her. She only wants to get to know him better.
Until the night she wants more—and takes it. (Hard and deep. Twice.)
Are they just two lonely people seeking solace? Or can a disgraced beauty queen and flawed, frustrated man find some sort of happy ever after?
**SOME SORT OF HAPPY is a full-length, dual POV novel, complete with a happy ending.**

Yesi’s Thoughts

Totally unexpected!!! That was my first thought after I started falling head over heels in love with Sebastian. As a fan of Melanie Harlow’s previous work, I really should not have been surprised. Frenched sat on my Kindle for close to a year before I opened it up and holy wow I wanted to kick myself for not reading this author sooner. I knew, right then that I would absolutely read anything by this author. Some Sort of Happy was no different, it completely blew me a way. I knew I was going to like it and I knew that I would be getting quality writing, but what I didn’t know at the time was just how much I was going to love this story, the characters, and most of all Sebastian. WOW.

If you are looking for an escape and for a hero who is just a little bit damaged, for lack of a better word, then this is it. Melanie wrote his character perfectly. I fell for his quirks, for his OCD, and for the beautiful haunted man that lived within. At first, I wasn’t so sure I was going to like our heroine, but I am glad that I was proven wrong. Sebastian and Skylar’s story is heartfelt and simply exquisite. I loved that she was there for him time and time again. Ms. Harlow made me a believer in love conquers all… <3

Don’t hesitate, pick this up ASAP!
