LOUD. Loud is definitely the word to describe this spectacular debut book by Mercy Brown. Usually, when something is loud, we are often asked to lower the volume or tone it down but that doesn't apply to this book. LOUD IS HOW I LOVE YOU was LOUD and PROUD as it paints a literary tale that screams and begs readers to experience the gorgeous prose that Mercy Brown has captured of two hearts finding the same rhythm and beat.
LOUD IS HOW I LOVE YOU is a fresh, deafening and intensely sweet and charming book that will resonate to all romance aficionados out there that LOVE is taking that risk. Taking that chance to shout out and let your love be heard. And let it be LOUD. Well, in this case there is only one way to have a love story be heard. The lyrics must be felt and let me just say Mercy Brown, I have heard you and your book not only delivers a deafening sound but this book delivers everything I wanted in a New Adult Romance.
"Stay loud so I don't lose you. I will follow the sound of you anywhere."
One night. One night was all it took for Emmy's world to be rocked on it's axis. One night with Travis, a member in the rock band that Emmy also belongs too. The one rule to not get involved with a member in the band was tossed out the window when Emmy couldn't shake out her intense attraction and feelings for Travis. But the only problem is Emmy doesn't want to ruin the band dynamics so she keeps Travis at a distance while Travis doesn't want to sweep what happened to them under the rug. He wants to make it known that this tangible connection that he has with Emmy can't be extinguished and that you must let your heart surrender to the music.
"Then he covered my mouth with a deep, heartfelt kiss. And it wasn’t everything I ever fantasized about with him. It wasn’t my dream come true. It was so much better than that."
This book captured what life and love is all about. There will be some high notes, some low notes but put together they compose an unforgettable song and melody. LOUD IS HOW I LOVE YOU comprises a story layered with love, friendship, music, life, and hope. Mercy Brown did an amazing job writing the story of Emmy and Travis. She truly captured a palpable connection of two friends who took awhile to get their love heard out loud. While Emmy may have been frustrating at times, I understood her fears because the band was her life, her family, and her purpose. And if she lost the band, it would devastate her but losing Travis would be a heartbreak that might she not be able to recover from.
As I said before earlier, Mercy Brown, I have heard you loud and clear. Your writing was fun, fresh, innovative and oh so entertaining. You made me reminisce the 90s music scene and at the same time had a love story that was meant to BE LOUD. With a lively cast of characters, Ms. Brown gave her readers a full spectrum of what looks like a vibrant and amazing series. So Mercy Brown thank you for this LOUD and BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY!
