TITLE: Still Into You (Never Over You Series Book 1)
AUTHOR: Ryleigh Andrews
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: December 5, 2014
Pro quarterback, Ethan Christopher thought he had found his home when he met rock musician, Mia Devereux. She was the welcomed distraction in his football-focused life.
Things may not have been perfect. Their individual careers made being together difficult. Her touring. His away schedule. As her success grew, they spent more extended periods apart.
But at the end of the day, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Only her.
When Mia met Ethan, she felt a connection unlike any she’d ever felt. She gave him more of herself than she thought was even possible.
But she knew it wasn’t enough. There was a lot she didn’t share, couldn’t give him.
An event two decades in her past made sure of that.
Those demons that she’d so carefully tucked away wanted out. As Mia struggled with the stress of touring and being apart from Ethan, her defenses weakened, allowing the demons to fight their way to the surface, leaving her in a vulnerable place. A place where bad choices were made.
Choices that both of them will regret.
Can Mia and Ethan's love survive her past? Or will it fall apart under the weight of her choices?

I’m in a total denial phase. That cliffy ruined me and left my heart hanging, hurting, hoping. This debut novel really had something. I thoroughly enjoyed the long journey of laugh, love, hurt, and angst with characters so entertaining (although at times a bit annoying), you can’t help but love them.
She loved the way he possessed her with his touch.
Mia Devereux was an aspiring rock star with a troubled past. Despite Mia’s hung-ups in life, she was talented, sweet, smart, loving, and funny. I loved her character. She’s like a woman anybody would like to be friends with because of this little sunshine she brings with her. But deep inside, Mia was a lonely woman trapped inside a memory, held captive by the feelings it brought to her.
My feelings for you surprise me. I’ve never felt this way before.
Ethan Christopher was a quarterback set to break a lot of records in football history. He was the kind of hero a reader immediately likes. He was easy-going, calm, fun, and drop-dead handsome...and an athlete! What I loved about Ethan was his confidence and his tendency to be realistic. He’s sure about his decisions and does everything to fit them in his life.
He had to kiss her, feel her lips upon his, the softness of them, and the life they brought to him.
Sparks flew the moment Mia and Ethan met. There was already a simmering heat between them on their first conversation and I loved journeying with them as they explored that heat further. Although they possessed different personalities, Ethan and Mia seemed to complement each other. They knew what each other wanted and what to do about it. They hold the other half’s happiness and do everything to reach it...until they were drawn apart by their dreams.
This book really encapsulated the agony of long distance relationships. I felt the triumph of every little time they spent together but also suffered with them on the times they spent apart. They have mutual feelings and plans but are separated by their individual dreams. Dreams that kept them away from each other. Dreams that drew them apart. I agree that they decided to spend the 5 weeks apart because pursuing their current situation will just draw them farther still.
I loved the aura of sweetness and love throughout 50-60% but my emotions were really caught by the events toward the end. I can’t wait to read what happens after 5 weeks!

After they took their seats, Ethan draped his arm over her shoulders, his fingers caressing her arm dangerously close to her breast while he focused on the big screen ahead of them.
The soft touch sent sparks of excitement through her body.
“Are you trying to cop a feel?” she asked boldly.
“Will you be mad if I do?”
“I’ll be mad if you don’t,” she exclaimed, causing him to laugh. “I’m serious!”
She grabbed his large hand and placed it on her breast. She then rested her head against his shoulder and looked up at him. “Keep it there,” she ordered.
“You’re bossy,” he observed.
She smiled knowingly and snacked on the popcorn. His thumb slowly moved over her nipple as she went to feed him a piece of popcorn. Her eyes closed as a small tremor rolled over her.
“Ahh … she likes,” he said, kissing her head and removing his hand from her breast. “Time for the movie to start.”

During the day, Ryleigh is an analyst, but even then, she’s writing, sneakily crafting scenes on post-it notes. She's been told she's a bit of a geek...some say nerd. She'll agree to it all. She loves music. It's been a force in her life for as long as she can remember. Her love of Star Wars and superheroes has probably been going on just as long...see, this is where the geek/nerd thing comes into play. But, most of all, Ryleigh loves the written word. She's been writing for a long time. Her first story came to her during one of her history classes. She wrote it in the margins of her notebook in teeny tiny letters so no one knew that she was writing a book instead of taking notes on 16th Century Europe. She currently lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and son, along with her Siberian Husky, Mick Jagger, and her cat, Winston Churchill.
