Native Author: A bonus book

Week 13: By indigenous or aboriginal authors

This one isn’t an audiobook (yet? I hope!) but it sounds so good, I wanted to at least mention it! It’s spring break for me, so maybe I’ll actually pick this one up in paperback and read the old-fashioned (and painfully slow) way.

The Road Home (Lost in Austin #2) by Christina Berry

Sex and rock & roll are my top priorities. I mean, let’s face it, they’re my only priorities.

As frontman of Austin’s most popular metal band, I have it all. But when a car accident nearly kills my best friend, I’m rocketed back to memories of that horrible night, all those years ago when I lost my family at the hands of a drunk driver.

That’s trauma I’d rather leave buried, so when Nicole, aka Arson Nic, the roller derby dynamo, skates into my bed, I’m more than happy to bury myself in her sweet solace. What I don’t expect is to wake up with feelings.

When a once-in-a-lifetime tour opportunity lands in my lap, it’ll bring me back to the Cherokee reservation where I grew up. If I’m going to take the road home to a future with Nicole, it’s time to face the past I buried long ago.
