 When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops. I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen. The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness. Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn’t always the truth. Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find. And in a flash, she was gone. Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans. She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated. Caged. Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her. Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again. When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops. When we met again, I became her darkest storm. 5 Star Review by Ashley I can't...my heart...this book....Gah! This book was just stunningly beautiful and heartbreaking, too. But this is Brittainy C. Cherry, I knew Behind the Bars was gonna pull at my heart going in, I just didn't know why or how much. I can't tell you who I liked more, Elliot with his shyness that spoke through his music. Or Jasmine with her soul much older than her years. These two were polar opposites. It shouldn't have made sense. They shouldn't have been friends. But they were and it was beautiful. As they bonded through the one thing that moved them both, that friendship grew into something so much more than their young hearts knew what to do with. Then life happened. Dreams shifted. Tragedy struck. Life changed. Elliot changed. Jasmine changed. The music in them changed. It was painful. It was raw. It was real. And it broke my heart. There was more than one time when I caught myself trying to rub the ache out of my chest. I feel as if I'm stuttering like Elliot trying to the words right to describe how much Behind the Bars moved me (so forgive the rambling on). I felt Elliot and Jasmine's pain. They suffered so much, needlessly. And guilt was suffocating at times. But despite the pain and the time, there was one thing that couldn't and wouldn't stop. The music. It bled them dry, it revealed their truth and healed them. I felt their love. It was powerful and come from the purest place of their souls. And that ending, be still my heart it was the perfection that Jasmine and Elliot deserved. About the Author Hi! I'm Brittainy! Join me as we travel through my mind as a Romance Author.
