Book Excerpts discussion

This is a place for Goodreads' authors to post groups they have created for readers to learn more about their books, to be part of group discussion and to be the first to know about giveaways and new releases.

It is a great place for authors and readers alike to support the efforts of authors who are working in a committed way to share their work.

It's always a joy to connect with readers, especially during the exciting release of a new book. The sequel to my warmly embraced "Love on a Limb," "Love on the Line," launches on March 9th. We pick Matt and Mikaela Grayken's emotional love story up exactly where we left off, but I have to say that the research on this one was eye-opening and tender, inspiring what I hope you'll find to be another five-tissue read. Here's the B-liner:

Matt Grayken fell in love with Mikaela the first time he watched her serve her cancer patients. Mikaela crossed an ocean to find Matt’s birth sister Kate, whose stem cells could save his life. It was that devotion that prompted them to make this promise to one another—“Whenever love is on the line, we choose us.”

With the future still so uncertain, the miracle and challenges of Matt’s impending bone marrow transplant inspire the couple to pursue a more purposeful life, a life bigger than leukemia. But in their quest to defy the limits of Matt’s cancer and return a bit of the good they’ve known, they embrace grand, even miraculous opportunities.

But these opportunities entwine the couple in the lives of complicated people whose needs and friendships stress both their limited reserves and Matt's health, putting the Graykens' promise to the test . . . and their love on the line.

"Love on the Line," Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens, Book Two, is the highly anticipated sequel to "Love on a Limb."


I'm gearing up to speak with readers about this new release and anything else they'd like to ask me. Please send me a question. I promise to get back to you ASAP.

Hi Laurie,

Thank you for joining the group, welcome!

I want to congratulate you on your success as an author, and for your new and upcoming sequel to, 'Love on the Limb' 'Love on the Line.' These sound like very heartwarming books and I am sure I will need an entire box of tissues while reading the story of Matt and Mikaela!

Please feel free to create an Event within this group for your book launch.

Also, don't forget to add your books to the bookshelf. I am thinking that instead of us putting all of our books, we should choose 1 selection that we would like members to read in the 'Book Swap.' This way books won't get lost on the shelf, and it will encourage us to visit each other's profile.

Sincerely,
Ali :)
