ELEANOR & GREY by Brittainy C. Cherry Tour

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now!

Greyson East left his mark on me.

As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.

Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.

When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.

I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.

When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.

He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.

But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.

I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.

UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEWS

REVIEWER: AMY

RATING: 5 STARS

So it's been awhile since I've found myself in a character. Eleanor is a good after my own heart. I just wish I would have had a Grey in my life like her. She is caring, kind, good hearted girl plus a bookworm. She loves her Harry Potter and wants everyone around her to love it as well. She is a wallflower. The weird girl or Braceface as people called her. Grey sees more. He helps during an highly emotional time in her life. When I say highly emotional, I mean it. This book had me crying more then I expected going on. I was a mess reading this book. It hit me in the feels over and over again. The hardest part was with Grey and his girls. The family had some pain and weren't dealing with at all. Eleanor was the light they all needed. Just writing this review is making me cry all over again. It's bringing back all those times and I can't help to cry. This book will stay with me for a while and I can't wait to read more from this author. She brings the emotions to a higher level in this book. It is a beautifully written book with characters you can't help but love. 

REVIEWER: ANNE

RATING: 5 STARS

This is by an author who never fails to play with my heart. A love story years in the making. As with her other books this story deals with real issues. Love and loss are everywhere in the book. Characters you will relate to, you will feel their unrestrained joy and feel every ounce of their heartbreak. The sadness is unavoidable however so is the happiness. The feeling of hope and second chances is what I will take from this book.

Another amazing book from an author who is always at the top of my list. 

REVIEWER: CATHY

RATING: 5 STARS

I know anytime I pick up a book by Brittainy Cherry I am in for a beautiful & unique story that manages to pull at your heart strings. This was no exception. She always writes such relate-able characters. Life is not always easy and you see this in her books but she always shows the good in people and how love and friendship can heal people through the darkest times. The small moments along the way that she writes are just amazing. Her secondary characters always add such layers to each story and you can feel the world she is creating jump off the pages. I really liked the amount of time she spent developing Ellie and Grey's relationship in high school. I do feel like it was a little rushed during parts of the second half. I wanted the story to keep going and it all just ended too quick for me. I wanted to find out what happens next with them since you come to care so much about them all. I read this book in one day and would highly recommend as with all her books.

Excerpt:

Eleanor

Thirty-two years old

Greyson’s assistant, Allison, finished giving me a tour of the house. “Okay, I think that’s everything. I’m going to head out now, but go ahead and make yourself comfortable. Get used to the property. Mr. East knows you’re here today, so don’t feel like you aren’t allowed to wander around a bit. If you need anything, my cell number is on the contact list in the book, or you can email me. If nothing comes up, I hope your first day goes well. Claire will be with you Monday to make sure the transition goes smoothly.” I must have looked terrified because as Allison grabbed her coat and purse to leave, she gave me a light squeeze on the shoulder. “You’re going to be fine, Eleanor. Mind over matter. You got this. Let’s touch base later in the week so I can check in on how things are going.” “Sounds great. Thanks, Allison.” After she left, I took a deep breath and flipped through a few pages in the binder. Then, I did a once-through of the house, familiarizing myself with whose room was where. There was something so unsettling about the quietness of Greyson’s home. It was so dark with an odd gloomy feeling attached to it, haunting almost. I didn’t mean dark as in the lighting situation, rather it was the energy level. There was such a heaviness in the space. The place felt like a house, not a home. If I hadn’t known any better, I wouldn’t have believed a family lived there at all. It felt so abandoned, almost like a memory frozen in time. That might’ve just been my own thoughts, thought, due to knowing about the tragedy that had taken place in the lives of the individuals who lived there. With the number of books I’d read, it wasn’t inaccurate to say my mind wandered toward the dramatics. I walked back into the kitchen, flipping through the binder, completely taken aback by the girls’ schedules. Between school, swim lessons, karate, piano lessons, physical therapy, and grief counseling, I wasn’t sure how they found the time to live a little. “Eleanor.” I leaped out of my skin at the sound of my name and turned to see Greyson standing behind me with an empty glass in his hand. He was dressed in a suit and tie, which was so strange to me. Who wore a suit and tie in their own home? I hardly wore pants when I was home alone. “Oh, Greyson, hi. Sorry I’m still here. Allison was just giving me a tour, and she said it was okay to look around a bit more.” “She made me aware.” Wow. He had responded immediately, unlike the first time I saw him. I called that progress. I smiled at him, but he didn’t smile back, and that felt like the oddest thing in the world. The old Greyson had been full of smiles. “It’s a beautiful home,” I stated, unsure what else to talk about. “It’s massive. I swear, it’s like ten times the size of my place.” He blankly stared my way as I shifted from foot to foot. “I love the décor,” I blurted out, and I hated myself the second the words left my lips. Just walk away, Eleanor. Don’t be awkward. “Those throw pillows in your living room are to die for. Where did you get them?” “The interior designer chose everything,” he replied dryly. “Oh, right, of course. My interior designer is normally the clearance section at T.J. Maxx,” I joked. “Or on special occasions, Target.” He didn’t laugh, probably because I wasn’t funny. I wondered when was the last time he’d laughed. Did he ever find anything funny anymore? We kept staring at one another in the most uncomfortable silence, though I didn’t feel as if I could pull myself away from it. I probably stared at him too long, but how could I not? I’d gone fifteen-some years without looking at him. It was understandable that I wouldn’t be able to turn away quickly. The awkwardness of it all finally came to a halt when Greyson cleared his throat. “Eleanor?” “Yes?” “I came for water.” “Oh?” I stared at him like an idiot, wide-eyed like a deer in headlights, waiting for his next words. I stood still as if he were going to expand on his interest in water. Was he offering me a drink? Were we going to sip water and catch up on things? Was I finally going to be able to ask him how he’d become the CEO of his father’s company at such a young age? What had happened to his father? His stare narrowed, and his lips turned down in a displeased fashion. He nodded once. “Hmm?” I asked. He nodded more aggressively this time, gesturing past me. I glanced behind me and realized I was standing right in front of the refrigerator, blocking the water dispenser. I stepped to the side, mentally beating myself up. Idiot. “Oh, right, of course. Well, I think I’m done here, so I’ll see myself out,” I stated, scrambling to grab my binder. “Have a good afternoon.” He didn’t reply, but that wasn’t shocking. I was quickly learning that this new Greyson didn’t have nearly as much to say as the old one.
