New Adult Contemporary
Book Description:
A girl who needs to undo the past.
A boy who wants to forget it.
In love, there’s no way back.
At high school in Steep Hill, Kansas, Cassie O’Malley
and Josh MacBride were the poster couple for quarterback/cheerleader
romance until they starred in their own tale of teen pregnancy. No
need to say: their shotgun wedding was low-key. But when there was no
baby anymore, they went their separate ways.
Five years later, Josh has breezed through Georgetown
and is about to finish his post-grad degree at Oxford University. He
is set to join a lobbying group on Capitol Hill, owned by his new
fiancée’s father. For Josh, the sky is now the limit… only he
must first take care of a tiny legal matter: technically, he’s
still married to the girl who broke his heart.
Meanwhile, Cassie has been waiting tables in Steep Hill
to pay for her sick grandmother’s care. On the day of the old
lady’s funeral, Cassie is served with two sets of papers. Josh is
asking for a divorce. Her heart squeezes, but, well, he moved on a
long time ago. But the second envelope shakes Cassie to the core. So,
for the first time, she leaves Kansas and heads to good ol’
England.
There, Cassie finds that Josh has not just “moved on,”
he’s freakin’ engaged to some blue-blooded heiress. The feelings
Cassie had buried deep rush back to her. But no matter if he keeps
thrusting the divorce papers under her nose, she needs him to save
the only person she loves more than Josh, more than life itself…

About the Author
Marion’s parents are
terribly disappointed with her…
They wanted her to have a
serious job, providing financial stability and social standing. For
years, she really
tried to make them happy; she studied hard, got into top schools,
graduated with honors and found a high-achieving job.
But deep down, Marion was
miserable. She never wanted to be a top executive, brokering deals in
New York, London or Tokyo. Marion wanted to be… a ROMANCE WRITER.
She wanted to spend her days in that good ol’ tracksuit of hers, in
front of her laptop, popping down Oreos like there was no tomorrow.
She wanted to fall in love with a different man each time she wrote
the first line of a new book (while being happily married to the most
handsome man in Great Britain).
That’s exactly what
Marion does these days, and it makes her incredibly happy. She loves
to share these happy vibes, talk book crush, fictional boyfriends and
sexual chemistry with like-minded people. And because she spends most
of her days on her own deep inside her writing cave, you are welcome
to come and say “hello” from time to time. Just to make sure she
doesn’t sink into insanity.
Her friends, family and
arch-enemies (there are quite a few) will be forever grateful for
your help.

(*I received a ecopy of No Reverse for this tour. I'm not a paid reviewer and these thoughts are my own*)
No Reverse was a wonderful New Adult book. Perfect for the age group and genre. I was rooting for Cassie through the whole story. I was hoping everything was going to turn out good for her. She is a sweet character who proved that she cared more what happened to others then worry about her own happiness. By the end of the book I was hoping she would get the happiness she deserved.
No Reverse is told in the POV of the two main characters; Cassie and Josh. Josh and Cassie were high school sweethearts who end up getting married young when they find out that Cassie is pregnant. It's not only a baby for them..they were madly in love but with the help of some people who felt she is unworthy of Josh's love, tell her to get rid of the baby and to let Josh go. Feeling like she had no choice she did just that..she let Josh go and gave up her child. Five years later, She has to finally has confront Josh because he is server he with divorce papers so he can marry someone else and she needs to tell him the truth after so long..she hopes for his help. He isn't to thrilled to see her and doesn't want to help her. The more he see her though the more he start to have a change of heart...
Even though there are other possible love interest for both main characters I was still hoping that their true love would shine brighter than any other type of love. I can't wait to for book 2 to come out. I desperately want to know what will happen to Cassie, Josh,...and Lucas. I would recommend this to anyone who loves New Adult Contemporary reads. It's a must read!!
