Craving More - Paperback

by Amanda Ashwood (Author)

At the heart of Craving More is Vivian, a woman who spent a decade waiting for a love that never materialized. After years of enduring emotional neglect in a relationship with Russel-a man who never committed-Vivian finally walks away, hoping to find herself and heal from the scars of her past. As she navigates life alone, she's unexpectedly reunited with Starr, a man from her past who disappeared without explanation years ago.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, steamy, intense, but Starr's painful history is far from easy for Vivian to accept. As they try to build a life together in the small, close-knit town of Stomping Rocks, Vivian must confront not only the ghosts of her past but also the secrets Starr has kept hidden. With each revelation, the stakes grow higher, and by the end, Vivian realizes that the love she is building with Starr may cost them everything.

At its core, Craving More is a journey of emotional healing and self-discovery. Vivian's path is shaped by the love and support of her older sister, Adrienne, who challenges her to live for herself, not for others. It's also about learning to love herself again-because before she can fully embrace the love of another, Vivian must first find peace within herself.

The book is a blend of romance, mental health awareness, spice and emotional growth, with a strong focus on self-love and overcoming trauma. As Vivian navigates her own healing journey, she confronts the fears and emotional scars from her past while learning how to embrace love again. Through vulnerability, strength, and the courage to face difficult truths, she discovers that healing is not just a destination, but an ongoing process that requires learning to love herself before she can fully open her heart to someone else.

With a tone that is both bubbly and intense, Craving More is a love story that goes beyond chemistry and passion. It's about healing wounds, finding closure, and ultimately creating the life and love you deserve.
