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 love Katie McGarry, and this powerful and touching novella has only cemented her place on my bookshelf. She can turn a concept into an emotionally changed storyline that captures your attention and holds on until the final page. In a series of novellas called More Than Words, also free to download from Amazon or from the Harlequin Blog, the More Than words program celebrates the active role women play in the community to change peoples lives. Katie McGarry's contribution celebrates Nikki Berti, the founder of Goodie Two Shoes, a program in which gives children new shoes, who couldn't normally afford a pair of new shoes that fit. Nikki's charity is integrated within the storyline, as the organisation that Stella could always rely upon. They made a huge difference in her life over many years, and together she shares the experience with Jonah of giving back.

Not only is it a truly worth cause, but Harlequin should be applauded for celebrating these women in our community that make a life changing difference to those less fortunate. I wanted more. I would love to see Jonah and Stella's story told more in depth. Katie McGarry is by far my favourite young adult contemporary romance author, and with her Pushing the Limits series, I absolutely loved this little read.
