More Than Words: Bestselling authors and real–life heroines

Every year, Harlequin's More Than Words award is given to three real–life heroines, women whose courage and vision have helped change people's lives for the better. Once again, three bestselling Harlequin authors have written stories inspired by these remarkable women.

In Red at Night, Stella and Jonah are total opposites. She's the girl with purple hair from the wrong part of town. He's a high school senior who hangs with the cool crowd. Until a car accident leaves him haunted by guilt, and Jonah starts spending time at Stella's favorite refuge…the local cemetery.

Stella knows she should keep her distance–after all, she spent her girlhood being bullied by Jonah's friends. Once he's sorted out his tangled emotions, Jonah won't have time for her anymore. Too bad she's already fallen for him….

Look for all three ebooks inspired by real–life heroines: Red at Night by Katie McGarry, You Are Here by Liz Fichera and The Gift of a Good Start by Earl Sewell.

I adored Red at Night! This is another novella that I would have loved to read more of as a full-length novel. Stella's dad is never around, so she lives with one of his ex-girlfriends, and hangs out in the cemetery in her free time. Jonah was at the scene of a car accident where he tried to help a man who wound up dying. He now visits the man's grave which is how he meets Stella. The two begin hanging out in the cemetery, just talking, but Stella tries to keep him at arm's length since she doesn't care to hope for more. Of course, by the end, they're together, and it was really sweet.

What I loved most about Red at Night was that there was no huge drama. Stella and Jonah just naturally come together and I needed more of their cemetery dates! I also really liked Jonah standing up to his friend who's been bullying Stella since they were kids. And I loved watching Stella dare to dream of more from her life despite her less than ideal living and financial situation. I just really, really liked this one.
