~~~REVIEW TOUR & GIVEAWAY~~~ BECOMING US by Amy Daws

Author, Amy Daws

released A Broken Us

last September,

but now she's

re-wound the

clock to go back

to where it all began...

THE PREQUEL TO A BROKEN US:

College love never hurt so good.

The dreaded friend-zone...

The last place I ever want to be with college basketball God, Jake LaShae.

I am losing my mind trying to figure out what this gorgeous

and confident man wants from me.

I need to break through his walls.

What is it about me that makes him not go there? What am I lacking?

When a mind-blowing betrayal knocks the wind out of me,

and I think I can't feel any lower...Brody stumbles into my path—barefoot no less,

and sexy as hell. His direct and mouth-watering swagger is a breath of fresh air.

The feelings this man gives me are like nothing I've ever experienced.

But Brody has a past.

A past that makes it nearly impossible for him to trust me and let us

become us in whatever capacity that may be.

Just when Brody and I truly connect,

just when I think that finding my soul-mate in college isn't a total joke,

Jake comes back into my life…and messes things up…possibly for good.

I look back out the window and am floored when I see Brody standing there with a big goofy grin on his face. I stand up in shock and walk through a row of computers closer to the window to figure out what’s going on.

He smiles even bigger as I approach, then holds up a finger, indicating to wait one minute.

He fumbles in his backpack lying on the ground next to him, and presses a white sheet of paper up against the window. I squint to read it.

I FORGOT TO GET YOUR NUMBER.

I laugh out loud at his message, to which Parni and a few other students look up at me and train their eyes on the Brody Spectacle as well. I run back to my desk, grab a notebook, and quickly write my number down. I return to Brody’s eager eyes and hold my paper up. We’re now separated by two feet and one pane of glass.

He smiles, then quickly grabs his phone out of his pocket and enters my digits. He holds up one finger again, and reaches into his bag and presses another sign against the window.

DOES THIS MEAN I CAN CALL YOU?

I laugh out loud again.

“Oh for the love of God!” Parni reprimands, but I ignore her and nod enthusiastically to Brody’s dark blue eyes. He reaches into his bag and pulls out another piece of paper.

JUST MAKING SURE.

I continue shamelessly beaming back at him, and he swaps his paper with another.

YOU LIKE SAILING?

I furrow my brow and shrug my shoulders, unsure how to answer that.

ME NEITHER.

He shakes his head and gives me a look that he’s disgusted. I laugh out loud at his adorably comedic expression.

SERIOUSLY, WHO SAILS?

Before I can even get a chance to laugh again he presses another sign up against the window.

I MADE GOOD USE OF MY TIME IN CLASS TODAY.

I give him my best impressed look.

I’LL CALL YOU.

I bite my lip and nod, returning his wave goodbye. I turn on my heel and my Brody-buzz is pummeled at the sight of Jake standing in the doorway with a brown bag of food in hand, looking visibly shaken. We lock eyes and my smile fades instantly at his somber expression.



 BECOMING US REVIEW by Terri
   Again, Amy Daws has taken me on a roller coaster ride that I won't soon forget.  To me, it took a while to adjust to this being the prequel to 'A Broken Us'. I think that the series would have been just as good if Becoming Us came first in the sequence. But with how Ms Daws has been switching my emotions, I know she has a method to her madness.

In Becoming Us, we go back in time to Finley starting college.  She starts to fall in love with college basketball star, Jake.  They become good friends and that is all he wants to be while Finley would love to be more.  Then along comes Brody.  We watch as the build their relationship and the troubles all new couples go through.

Ms Daws has a new fan. I will definitely try anything Ms Daws writes. 

A BROKEN US REVIEW by Terri

I feel like I have just gotten off a rollercoaster.  First sad, then happy and laughing, then sad and crying, then content. 

Amy Daws has done a beautiful job taking such a difficult subject that many couples face and write about it.  Her characters are built on a very strong foundation. Finley and Brody are the typical college loves, loving each other, living life.  Until something happens that devastates Finley.  She goes to London to visit a friend to do a little thinking.  

This was a very difficult book to set down.  Ms Daws captures your attention on page one and keeps it throughout the entire book.  I will definitely be reading more works by Ms Daws.

*If you're new to Amy Daws...we recommend reading this new release, Becoming Us, first and, A Broken Us, second! Though they can be read in any order. :)



Amy lives in South Dakota with her husband, Kevin, and their miracle daughter, Lorelei. The long-awaited birth of Lorelei is what inspired Amy’s first book, Chasing Hope, and her passion for writing. Amy’s contemporary romance books are a part of the The London Lover Series and currently have two

installments out with more to come. Amy’s inspiration for writing is and always will be her six precious angel babies and her daughter. On most nights, you can find Amy and her family dancing to Strawberry Shortcake’s theme song or stuffing themselves inside children’s-sized playhouses because there is nothing they wouldn’t do for their little miracle.
