Worlds Away

by J.V Elaine

Amalia Sinclair thought she had love all figured out until she didn’t. At twenty-four she had given eight years of her life to a relationship that left her restless, broken and desperate for more. She decided to find out who she was outside of a man.
So, she walked away. Not just from him, but from the life she’d always known.

Amalia set off across Europe to write a new chapter of her life,
one filled with freedom, adventure, and self-discovery.

But fate had other plans.

After a one chance encounter at a crowded bar she meets Jeremiah Collin’s.
A tall, charming Rugby player whose smile makes her forget every scar of her past.
Their time spent together was supposed to be just a moment in her whirlwind travels.
Instead, it becomes a spark that changes everything.

Amalia settles into London with dreams of finishing her writing degree, only to be blindsided when the same man is in one of her classes.
The Irish cutie isn’t just a distraction. He’s the father of the child she’s carrying.

Suddenly, Amalia’s carefully constructed future is thrown into chaos.

She’s always wanted a family, but not like this, She never wanted one out of obligation, not without love...

Jeremiah insists he’s not going anywhere, and she’s not going to go through this alone.

Now Amalia must decide if she’s brave enough to open up her heart again,

Or risk losing the one man who might just be her forever.

I’m so glad I was chosen as an ARC read for this book because oh my goodness I could not put this book down or even stop thinking about it once I finished it!!

A feel good Romance book of two people finding themselves and in the process find each other along the way. Great quotes, writing etc I loved this book! I related soo much to Amalia Sinclair, she had me crying, fist pumping, and smiling throughout the whole book. And to any Rugby fans out there…the way the author describes Jeremiah, girrlll even I fell in love with that man! and his ruby matches..the intensity and excitement felt like I was watching a live game!!! Had me giggling and feeling butterflies the whole time. ❤️❤️

This book is not just a love story, it’s a story of growth, of pain from the past. It’s a story of hearts ebbing and flowing and learning the other to their very souls. While it’s beautifully written, a page turner, it’s also charming, poetic, funny, and romantic 🥰

10/10 would recommend this cozy read

I was happily chosen to be an ARC reader for this book. I enjoyed having the two perspectives and being able to see how they both thought from one scene. It really painted the story and I love when you can hear what’s going on in each characters head. I love how real the author made the book. You can see the growth of the main characters and you can see how they not only learned to grow on their own but together built something. It was nice to read something raw that felt like real life as opposed to a fictional world. The only thing I struggled a little bit with was the accent of the male main character Jeremiah written into the book because i’ve never seen that before. However, it was an interesting way to add depth to his character and shows readers his background. I think that it may throw readers off a bit but it is worth it to keep reading. If you want something to relate to this is absolutely a book you’ll love.

I loved Worlds Away. I found myself getting emotional while reading this book. The way that she described Amalia's past experiences and how she was rebuilding herself is something that anyone who has gotten lost in life can relate to even if the experiences aren't the same.

The book kept me wanting more and made me feel all the things that a good romance does. The way that Jeremiah and Amalia love each other and bring out the best in each other is what every person in a relationship should strive to have.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance with characters who are journeying to find out who they are in this big world and are looking for someone who helps quiet the noise.

I was happily chosen as an ARC reader and so thankful that I picked up this book.

The character arcs that Amelia and Jere went on, their story and their struggles was so well written. The author did not shy away from the hardships of a relationship, she gave raw feelings, difficult conversations and a healing journey that I’m sure so many people can relate to.

This story encompasses the saying “if he wanted to, he would”, and definitely worth the read.

Very grateful to have been an alpha/beta/arc reader for this amazing debut novel! 😍
If you're looking for a heartfelt story with a relatable FMC and a charming MMC this is it. Amalia's story is so relatable for all of us who have ever felt like we lost ourselves along the way, always chose to do what pleased others and never followed our own way. This book is touching, funny and I guarantee it will make you smile and help on your own journey of healing and self-love.
