Cover Reveal: Between Now & Never by Laura Johnston

Today I'm participating in the Cover Reveal for author Laura Johnston's 
newest YA contemporary romance, BETWEEN NOW AND NEVER!

Between Now & Never
TBR March 31st 2015 by Kensington

A convict’s daughter should never fall for an FBI agent’s son, certainly not a teenager like Julianna Schultz who is furious over her mother’s incarceration and the injustice of it all. But that’s exactly what seventeen-year-old Julianna finds herself doing when Cody Rush, the cocky son of the FBI agent who put her mom behind bars, moves into her hometown of Gilbert, Arizona.

Cody Rush—studious, principled, athletic, good looking and blond to boot—is everything Julianna hates, or so she thinks. Yet a series of ill-fated events one night brings them dangerously close, entangling the futures of two people who were never meant to be.

Excerpt

“Listen”—I cut him off before his flirtatious ways turn me into a puddle of mush at his feet—“for the record, that whole photo booth . . . incident . . . didn’t mean anything, okay?”
He sits up, leaning forward to pull a wallet from his back pocket. He fishes something out and slaps it down on the coffee table.
“Oh, yeah?” he challenges. “What about that?”
I glance down at the pictures—the photo-booth pictures. His index finger taps the third picture, the one of him practically kissing my neck. The nerve! I feel a wave of heat rising up my neck and into my cheeks. Wait, he keeps this in his wallet?
“Pulling out that dimple-loaded smile of yours and doing . . .” I fish for a term to describe what he’s doing in that picture. Smelling my hair? Kissing my ear? It’s too intimate, too personal to articulate. “. . . doing . . . that. . . might win over every other girl who comes your way, but it doesn’t work for me.”
“Oh, yeah?” he asks again and leans in dangerously close, his tone doubtful. His gaze drops from my eyes to my lips. “What does do it for you, Julianna?”
The sound of my name on his lips sinks right to my core, rich and tempting. Like chocolate.
“You would like to know, wouldn’t you?” I ask, loading as much spite into that challenge as possible.

One side of his lips kicks up, like he’s thoroughly enjoying this.

  1. I liked the cover. It is quite nice. What interest me about the books is the background difference between the two people and how they will be able to overcome it. Thank you so much for hosting.

  4. It does fit. I'm not completely sure about his finger going through her earring, but otherwise it's cute. I like this author and I really liked the first book of hers, so I'm planning on reading this one. :]
