From the author who brought you A Thousand Boy Kisses comes the new emotional novel, A Wish for Us.

A story of music. A story of healing. A story of love conquering all.

Nineteen-year-old Cromwell Dean is the rising star of electronic dance music. Thousands of people adore him. But no one knows him. No one sees the color of his heart.

Until the girl in the purple dress. She sees through the walls he has built to the empty darkness within.

When Cromwell leaves behind the gray skies of England to study music in the South Carolina heat, the last thing he expects is to see her again. And he certainly doesn’t expect that she’ll stay in his head like a song on repeat.

Bonnie Farraday lives for music. She lets every note into her heart, and she doesn’t understand how someone as talented as Cromwell can avoid doing the same. He’s hiding from his past, and she knows it. She tries to stay away from him, but something keeps calling her back.

Bonnie is the burst of color in Cromwell’s darkness. He’s the beat that makes her heart skip.

But when a shadow falls over Bonnie, it’s up to Cromwell to be her light, in the only way he knows how. He must help her find the lost song in her fragile heart. He must keep her strong with a symphony only he can compose.

A symphony of hope.
A symphony of love.
A symphony of them.

Title: Damn Tillie You Did It Again!<3
Review: This was absolutely devastating and brilliant but I didn't expect anything less. It's really hard to review this actual book without giving spoilers so I won't do that. But it is 100% worth the read. If you have ever read a Tillie Cole book then you know what you're getting into. 💙This book is beautiful, it's a love story whole being tragic and devastating and somehow she wraps it up with a bow that is still broken but taped back together in a wonderful way, that warms your heart and feeds your soul.Sensei feel like I will swirl anything about this book if I talk about it in a review I'll just rave about the author and why you should read this book. ⬇️If you've ever read one of Tillie Cole's books, It doesn't matter if it's one of her sad ones, If it's one of her books that Amazon decided to ban because people like to complain, or just anything she's ever wrote. She is an absolutely brilliant author. She has a way about her that no matter what type of book she's writing that includes taboo, lighter but sad (And I don't mean light like fluffy ..I mean not super dark) or it's dark or it's here hold my beer while I rip your freaking heart out.. They all still have that same vibe where she just somehow finds a way to freaking grab into your soul and make you feel bone deep and hold on until you reach the end!! She is truly brilliant at making your soul shake and not just in a way that makes you cry I mean in a way that makes you feel deep!! The very first book(s) I read of hers were The Hades Hangman MC Series, so I actually didn't start with the sadder book that is also very popular, but I started with more of her darker stuff, And then I ventured into her other books which are just as brilliant(even her taboo one😘🥰).. She just grabs you so tightly and you stay tightly wound and tightly bound until you reach the very last page. And even after you reach the very last page you want more, And it's not because she doesn't complete the books or finish them in a proper way because she always gives you that ending that makes you feel complete, weather that completeness is in sadness or happiness you still feel completed. But it's because she just makes you fall so in love with her characters and you feel so heavy for their happiness and everything that they went through, from cover to cover. This book is no different .. She completely rips your heart out to put it back together but you're still broken at the end because everything that put your heart back together was devastating. It's something that a lot of authors try to do and they don't do it as well as Tillie does. I obviously won't spoil the story but the fact that to have a happy ending you have to have tragedy is what Tilly does best and it's one of the reasons that I love her and I will always read every single book she puts out. And every single book that Amazon bans I will go and buy the physical copy because that's what she deserves. Bow down Queen you did it again! 💙

Title: My Favorite Book of 2018! Simply Beautiful! All the Stars in all the colors!!!
Review: This book was amazing! I think I’m calm enough to do leave a review but bear with me because this is probably going to be a ramble-fest. I tend to do that when a book blows my mind, and this one completely did. I don’t normally do Tillie Cole, not sure if by choice or lack of opportunity, but this is not an author normally on my radar. I do own a lot of her books, I just haven’t gotten to them. Anyways, not important. I was mesmerized by this cover, and intrigued by that beautiful blurb. So I was so excited when I got this one, and prayed hard that it didn’t disappoint me. IT DID NOT. This was everything, and then some. My heart was in my throat the entire time, and I went through all the gamut of emotions. To say this wrecked me and gutted me is an understatement. But it also made me happy, so freaking happy. Sigh, this was such an experience. It’s the reason why I read, to have these experiences and read beautiful books like this.“You can’t fight the colors you were born to see.”Tillie Cole can write, she can freaking write, and it’s beautiful and all the rage and so much more. This was not cheesy, or sappy, this was original, and raw and real and perfect, just perfect. The descriptions, the colors, the characters, the angst, the romance, the friendships, the heartbreak, the loss, the love, above all the love, it’s all in there and it’s written in such a beautiful way that you can’t help but love every second of it. Even if it breaks you. Now, I’ve read that people are already comparing this with that other book of hers, you know which one, but it’s not, it’s different, so don’t even go there.“You’ve complicated things for me, Cromwell Dean. You were never meant to complicate things.”This one I’m not spoiling, because it wouldn’t be fair to anyone. The blurb tells you a lot, the rest is in the book. I can definitely guarantee you that you will be completely happy in the end. But go blind, please go blind because this freaking book is amazing and you have to experience it for yourself. I’m even going to be super picky with my highlights, even though I have too many to count.This is an epic love story between two people that are broken for two very different reasons. Cromwell and Bonnie were such great characters, I loved them and this relationship so much. Their amazing connection and their love for music, combined with the way they saved each other was simply perfection. I just can’t even. This book also explores so many other things like family and relationships and other things people should talk more often about like mental illness and addictions. These characters will stay with you for a long time. This book will stay with you for a long time.Like I said, this was perfection. The writing, flawless. The characters, amazing. And the epilogue? For someone that craves the perfect epilogue, this one is at the very top, beautiful, perfect epilogue. Tillie Cole has gained a new fan and this has definitely become one of my favorite reads. Pick this one up, you won’t be disappointed!

Review: A Wish for Us was an emotionally charged, new adult romance that hits you with the feels and the angst, and in the best ways possible!Cromwell Dean is brooding, broken, and a musical genius. One of the biggest EDM DJs in Europe, he feels and sees music through colors. Bonnie Farraday lives and breathes music, and like Cromwell, she too feels music. She also has dreams and aspirations, wanting to one day play in concert halls around the world. Bonnie and Cromwell are like oil and water, two opposites yet their connection is magnetic and it's truly beautiful to behold throughout the story. Together, they're the perfect symphony. They create notes and melodies that seep into your bloodstream, all while mending each other's souls.Once again, Tillie Cole has blown me away with her beautiful storytelling. Heartbreaking and inspirational, A Wish For Us left me rearing with goosebumps all over as I felt the music through words and they not only touched my soul, but shook me to my core!

Review: I love this book. I ugly cried, felt my heart burst with happiness at Cromwell and Bonnie's story. The author did a fantastic job writing this book. The reason I know she did such a great job is because I felt every emotion the characters felt, the good, the bad and the ugly I felt it all.

Review: Andaba con ganas de un libro emocional y que me hiciera llorar y este lo logro :’)Es una historia de superación, duelo, pérdida pero también donde dos personas se encuentran y juntos se dan la fortaleza para seguir sus sueños.No sé tocar un instrumento, pero la forma en que la autora lo describe, me transporta a un mundo entero donde la música y el color se combinan, es que fue increíble!!!El crecimiento de los personajes me encantó, sobre de todo de Cromwell, el hecho de que poco a poco va bajando sus barreras y le permite que Bonnie entre a su corazón me dejo con mi corazón latiendo de felicidad.Es diferente a su otro libro “mil besos tuyos” en la forma que tiene un final no tan triste y te deja satisfecha con el mismo, lo cual fue bueno porque mi estabilidad emocional iba a caer de otra manera.Es un libro que siempre voy a recomendar y que se quedará en mi corazón ♥️.Ahora creo que haré maratón de lectura de esta autora jajaja

Review: Ich mag Tillie Cole und ihre Bücher im Yound/New Adult- Bereich. Auch dieses Buch war sehr interessant, spannend, dramstisch und rührend. Ich hab es in einer Nacht durchgelesen ( wie so ziemlich jedes meiner Bücher :-/ ) und bin mit 1-2 Stunden Schlaf zur Arbeit. Ich liebe Bücher die mich fesseln. Ich weiß nicht warum, aber je mehr Tränen umso besser. Ich möchte nicht viel zum Inhalt preisgeben, die US-Bewertungen geben ausreichend Informationen zum Inhalt. Ich möchte nur sagen, dass mit "Synästhesie" ein sehr interessantes Thema aufgefasst wird, das defintiv zum "googlen" anregt. Ich wäre gerne in der Lage mein Leben in Farben zu sehen, ich denke, das würde vieles anders machen. Wie dem auch sei, "A wish for us" bietet alles, viel Drama, eine junge Liebe die zu tränen rührt und vor schmerz kauern lässt, man trauert mit den Protagonisten, man erfreut sich an den Erfolgen und man lernt etwas über eher Unbekannte Wissenschaften.
