Adrienne Frances

~That's What She Said~

I honestly can't say enough how much I appreciate the bloggers and reviewers who take time out of their busy schedules to spread the word about novels. A lot of authors today would be lost without them. So, on that note, THANK YOU to all of the reviewers who have made Under the Orange Moon what it has become. I am literally brought to tears by some of the things I have read. What you do is so important to not only the authors who you support, but the readers who look to you for their next read. I am forever grateful.

 

 

"Books like this are the reason I read. They are why I pick up book after book and suffer through some bad ones. Because every once in a while I pick up a book that simply blows me away...Under the Orange Moon is one part funny and sweet, one part emotional and a bit of angsty, and a whole lot of beautiful and moving. I'd recommend it to everybody

without a single doubt."

"When I started Under the Orange Moon I knew it was going to be good, but I had no idea how much I was going to fall in love with the characters and storyline. From cover to cover Adrienne Frances took me by surprise and left me with one of the most enjoyable book escapes."

Adrienne has such a beautiful way with words. The simplicity and beauty in her words will have you falling in love with Ben, Dylan, and all her crazy overprotective brothers. With this being Adrienne's first novel there is just no telling how many more incredible love story's she will give us. Thank you Adrienne for bringing Ben and Dylan's love story to life in such a breathtaking way."

"Zomg this book was THE most adorable thing! I loved Dylan and I loved Ben! I’m hoping for other books, perhaps about her brothers. I love books about childhood best friends that fall in love and this one did not disappoint! Definitely recommend!"

~The Chiq Blog~

 

"Pleasantly surprised, that is the only way to describe this book. I was up until the wee hours of the morning reading and crying and laughing and being down right mad at Ben. I absolutely love childhood romances and long lost love stories. And this, is definitely one of those."

"I loved the Mathews brothers. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to grow up with 4 older brothers, one of them being a twin. Their banter was hilarious. I loved Dylan, her loyalty, her spunk. She wasn’t perfect but she had a lot of love to give to Ben, and it pissed me off that he fought it. This story had everything…..it was funny, sweet, sad and sexy. It had some angst but wasn’t OTT. I enjoyed it from cover to cover."

"Well, knock me over with a feather-this book was incredible. I'm pretty sure I have just fallen under the insta-love spell for Ms. Adrienne Frances and for once, I'm totally okay with it...This book had me right from the word 'Prologue', I simply could not put it down-it had it all. Sooo so much angst and drama, steam, frustration, laughs, tears, the list goes on. The entire cast of characters were wonderfully fantastic-the brothers were friggin awesome, their mom was just perfect-I really have no complaints other than it's over. I want more from these people- I can't say goodbye, I'm not ready. All around, it was an amazing story from an author that has firmly landed herself on my 'Must Buy' list for a long time to come."

"Overall, this is a great story that I immediately fell in love with from the first chapter. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to more works from this author."

~Judging Books By Their Covers~

 

"What a great book! This was my first read by this author and I will definitely be looking for more from her, that’s... for sure! Dylan & Ben’s story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It was captivating from the very first sentence. I was sucked in and could not stop reading. I took my Kindle with me everywhere I went until I finished. Middle of the night feedings for the baby? Yep, reading then. Nap time for the toddler? Reading then, too. Waiting for the bus for the oldest? Yep, reading. I could not stop until I finished their story!"

~Novel Seduction~

 

"This story was such a sweet romance and has so much about learning to forgive yourself and others. There comes a time when you need to grow up and grow out of the shadows of your parents and learn that you won’t make the same... mistakes they make and that you aren’t exactly the same person they are/were. You have to embrace the things that make you happy and stop torturing yourself and making yourself suffer for no reason when happiness is right in front of you."

~Broadway Girl Book Reviews~

 

 

"This book sucked me in from the very beginning with it's friends-to-lovers story. I love reading these. I couldn't put it down! It was THAT good! Under the Orange Moon is full of love, family, friendships, and the road to growing up and maturity. I loved seeing how the characters developed and getting to know each one of them. I really don't have any complaints about this author's work at all! In fact, I was only disappointed to see the story end. It was wrapped up very nicely, but I just didn't want it to be over! This book was very well written and flowed well throughout. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from Adrienne Frances!"

~Sammy's Book Obsession~

 

"I really liked this book. I like the ups and downs of it. The story was different and interesting. I really loved the family dynamic of it. This family is so real. 1 sister, 4 brothers. And a boy from the neighborhood that is as much as a brother and son as one of their own. Except to Dylan. I loved Dylan. I loved how she stood up for herself, especially in the end. She was willing to put her heart on the line and when Ben ripped it to shreds, she mourned, she was upset, but she started building herself back up. And when he came back, she made him fight for it. I really like Ben, too. He was complicated. He thought he should never be loved and love someone else. But deep down, he knew. He had always known. I loved all the brothers in it too. I would love to see books about them also. This is definitely a book I would recommend. I held my attention all day. I finished it fast and couldn’t put it down."

~Katie/Southern Belle Book Blog~

 

"This book brought me to tears more than once. Ben's struggles just broke my heart (although he did need slapped a couple times too). He needed to feel worthy of Dylan's love - heck - anyone's love for that matter. Waiting for him to realize this was quite an emotional roller coaster ride."

~Jodie's W.I.N.E. List~

 

"Under the Orange Moon is also about accepting love, realizing your own worth, and not letting go of the life you want. Obviously, I rather enjoyed this story. It made me feel good although there were times when I was so frustrated - usually with Ben. :) The epilogue was the perfect ending. I don't know if we'll see more from the Mathews or not but I certainly wouldn't mind. The story flowed well and I adored her use of multiple POVs. Ms. Frances has written an impressive debut."

~Bookworm Brandee~

 

"Wow! I didn't expect for this book to get to me the way it did. I swooned, laughed, cried, and smiled. At times my chest hurt from the pain that the characters were in. I can't believe that this is the authors first novel!"

~Melanie Stories and Swag~

 

"There were moments in the story that left me crying and feeling a deep connection with these characters, but they were moments were I couldn't stop smiling with all the shananigans going on. This is great debut book for this author and she will definitely be one to watch from now on."
