New Adult Clean Contemporary fiction is the wave of the future. The New Adult genre flipped a switch between Young Adult and traditional contemporary adult novels. The need for a cleaner version of this genre is evident and so we're turning a new corner. When people ask me what genre my novels fall into, I have always struggled: Well, they’re at a Young Adult (YA) reading level with a very mature theme and college-age characters. A critique partner pointed out that my books probably fall into the category of New Adult (NA) rather than YA. I didn’t know such a thing existed! The largest group of readers of NA fiction are that same crossover audience that took YA to the top of the industry, namely Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. I write the stories that come from my heart and mind. It’s good to know my stories have found their square-peg home in the round-peg publishing world. Let's rock! -Julie L. Spencer

I love 💕 your beautiful covers!
An interesting cover. Very different, makes me want to study it ...like a painting. I like it!! :-)
A wonderful story of love and forgiveness! Highly recommended.
Thessa Lim gives you an office romance that is bittersweet. Zara Castillo has everything and even found the ideal man in Matthew, except that with her work and her own personal demons, her relationship is in testy waters. The only one who can sort our her demons is Zara and she has to make that choice before she loses the man she loves. I think she captures Manila very well, since I studied there it made me nostalgic.
Fabulous tropical setting with the story of Zara and Matthew--highly enjoyable!

Really amazing story about what love can do with us. I like how characters are so real and so vivid, you drown in their story. Natasha is so strong woman and I admire by her. She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.

I enjoy NYC settings.
This is the book about 2 people, but not only that. My opinion is it is the psychological story, in which you can learn big point.
Every time I see this cover I'm intrigued! Love the blurb and the potential in such an exciting place as New York!
A shiny Big Apple of a story about second chances!
I love Luana Ferraz! She is such a great writer!
