Books By Ashley Herring Blake
Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.
When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.
Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms. Even worse, she’s starting to think she doesn’t want to...
For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she’s been focused on her career—her friends might say she’s obsessed, but she knows she’s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn’s renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.
However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru’s granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family’s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid’s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means. Is she going to pursue the life that she’s expected to lead or the one that she wants?
Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. Her best friends are all coupled up, her siblings have partners that are perfect for them, and her parents are still blissfully married. And she’s happy for all of them, truly. Iris doesn’t want any of that—dating, love, romance. She’ll stick to her commitment-free hookups, thanks very much, except no one in her life will just let her be. Everyone wants to see her settled down, but she holds firmly to her no dating rule. There’s only one problem—Iris is a romance author facing an imminent deadline for her second book, and she’s completely out of ideas.
Perfectly happy to ignore her problems as per usual, Iris goes to a bar in Portland and meets a sexy stranger, Stefania, and a night of dancing and making out turns into the worst one-night stand Iris has had in her life. To get her mind off everything, Iris tries out for the lead role in a local play, a queer retelling of Much Ado About Nothing, but comes face-to-face with Stefania, whose real name turns out to be Stevie. Desperate to save face in front of her friends, Stevie asks Iris to play along as her girlfriend. Iris is shocked, but when she realizes the arrangement might provide her with some much-needed romantic content for her book, she agrees. As the two women play the part of a happy couple, lines start to blur, and they’re left wondering who will make the real first move....
Hazel Bly used to live in the perfect house with the perfect family in sunny California. But when a kayaking trip goes horribly wrong, Mum is suddenly gone forever and Hazel is left with crippling anxiety and a jagged scar on her face. After Mum's death, Hazel, her other mother, Mama, and her little sister, Peach, needed a fresh start. So for the last two years, the Bly girls have lived all over the country, never settling anywhere for more than a few months.
When the family arrives in Rose Harbor, Maine, there's a wildness to the small town that feels like magic. But when Mama runs into an old childhood friend—Claire—suddenly Hazel's tight-knit world is infiltrated. To make it worse, she has a daughter Hazel's age, Lemon, who can't stop rambling on and on about the Rose Maid, a local 150-year-old mermaid myth.
Soon, Hazel finds herself just as obsessed with the Rose Maid as Lemon is—because what if magic were real? What if grief really could change you so much, you weren't even yourself anymore? And what if instead you emerged from the darkness stronger than before?

“Uma comédia romântica divertida e picante, com a qual muita gente vai se identificar. Amei cada um dos personagens hilários, cada uma das loucas confusões e, principalmente, Delilah Green.” – Talia Hibbert, autora de Acorda pra vida, Chloe Brown
Delilah Green jurou nunca mais voltar a Bright Falls, a cidade onde cresceu. Lá não há nada para ela, só as lembranças da infância solitária e do desprezo da madrasta e da irmã postiça, Astrid. Em Nova York ela tem uma carreira como fotógrafa em ascensão e uma mulher diferente em sua cama todas as noites.
Mas quando Astrid usa chantagem emocional e um cheque polpudo para forçá-la a fotografar seu casamento e a maratona de eventos preparativos, Delilah acaba concordando em voltar.
Seu plano é chegar, fotografar e ir embora de fininho. Só que assim que ela reencontra Claire Sutherland, uma das insuportáveis – e lindas – amigas de infância de Astrid, percebe que talvez haja, sim, algo divertido para se fazer em Bright Falls.
Criando a filha de 11 anos praticamente sozinha ao mesmo tempo que gerencia uma livraria e lida com um ex nada confiável, Claire só quer uma vida sem surpresas. E a chegada repentina de Delilah é uma surpresa e tanto.
Em meio a todas as questões mal-resolvidas do passado e os problemas do presente, o desejo que nasce entre as duas se torna cada vez mais evidente. E elas não sabem se terão força para resistir aos encantos uma da outra. Pior ainda: estão começando a achar que não querem mesmo resistir...
When Sunny St. James receives a new heart, she decides to set off on a "New Life Plan": 1) do awesome amazing things she could never do before; 2) find a new best friend; and 3) kiss a boy for the first time.
Her "New Life Plan" seems to be racing forward, but when she meets her new best friend Quinn, Sunny questions whether she really wants to kiss a boy at all. With the reemergence of her mother, Sunny begins a journey to becoming the new Sunny St. James.
This sweet, tender novel dares readers to find the might in their own hearts.
When a tornado rips through town, twelve-year-old Ivy Aberdeen's house is destroyed and her family of five is displaced. Ivy feels invisible and ignored in the aftermath of the storm--and what's worse, her notebook filled with secret drawings of girls holding hands has gone missing.
Mysteriously, Ivy's drawings begin to reappear in her locker with notes from someone telling her to open up about her identity. Ivy thinks--and hopes--that this someone might be her classmate, another girl for whom Ivy has begun to develop a crush. Will Ivy find the courage to follow her true feelings?
Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World exquisitely enriches the rare category of female middle-grade characters who like girls--and children's literature at large.
Grace, tough and wise, has nearly given up on wishes, thanks to a childhood spent with her unpredictable, larger-than-life mother. But this summer, Grace meets Eva, a girl who believes in dreams, despite her own difficult circumstances.
One fateful evening, Eva climbs through a window in Grace’s room, setting off a chain of stolen nights on the beach. When Eva tells Grace that she likes girls, Grace’s world opens up and she begins to believe in happiness again.
How to Make a Wish is an emotionally charged portrait of a mother and daughter’s relationship and a heartfelt story about two girls who find each other at the exact right time.
Delilah Green juró no volver a Bright Falls, donde no le quedan más que recuerdos de su solitaria infancia en la que era poco más que una carga para su fría y distante madrastra. Su vida está en Nueva York, donde su carrera como fotógrafa está tomando impulso y su cama nunca está vacía. De acuerdo, la acompaña cada noche una mujer distinta, pero ya está bien así.
Cuando su hermanastra Astrid la presiona con un sutil sentimiento de culpa y un talonario de cinco cifras para ser la fotógrafa de su boda, a Delilah no le queda otro remedio que volver al pueblo al que una vez llamó hogar. Su plan es llegar y marcharse en cuanto pueda… pero entonces ve a Claire Sutherland, una de las mejores amigas de Astrid, y decide que, después de todo, quizá sí haya algo divertido que hacer en Bright Falls.
Claire Sutherland es madre de una hija de once años a la que ha criado prácticamente sola, tiene que aguantar a su desastroso ex y es la encargada de una librería, así que su vida no tiene espacio para sorpresas. Y Delilah Green es una sorpresa muy poco bienvenida… al principio. Aunque se conocen desde hace años, no se conocen, por lo que a Claire la inquieta que Delilah sepa exactamente qué es lo que la hace saltar. Cuando se ven envueltas en el torbellino de preparativos para la boda, incluyendo una artimaña para salvar a Astrid de su horrible prometido, Claire comienza a dudar de su capacidad para resistirse a los encantos de Delilah. Y lo que es peor: empieza a pensar que tampoco quiere hacerlo.

3. Zum ersten Mal küssen – und zwar einen Jungen.

Doch immer, wenn sie ihrem Ziel näher kommen, macht Quinn einen Rückzieher. Und schließlich ist sich Sunny nicht mehr sicher, wen sie wirklich küssen möchte.
