There’s no rest for the fearful.
I had the privilege of reading Amber Stokes’ While You’re Awake in an early stage, while it still had a different title but the same sweet tone!
I love and admire Amber’s ability to take a contemporary setting and set a fairy-tale spin to it, complete with a darling coffee shop and a kind hero. In fact, I think I liked the hero best, just because he was so good to the heroine.
This story is different; it centers around a semi-traumatic event in the heroine’s life that catapults her into her first meeting with the hero. Thus begins a short and sweet love story perfect for a chilly autumn afternoon!

Happily, this chapter of her career takes place in the Pacific Northwest—a part of the world she’s always considered home. You can connect with Amber on her blog, Seasons of Humility.

I will answer question 3) Are you a sound sleeper or a night owl? I am a pretty light sleeper. If my husband gets out of bed to get a drink or whatever i always hear him, unless I am exhausted and then I don’t hear a thing. Haha.

I’m glad you like the giveaway prizes, Sydney, and I so hope you’ll enjoy the story if you end up reading it. :)
That’s got to be tough to be a light sleeper! I think my mom is more that way – so she wears earplugs, which seem to help her. :) Thanks for sharing your response!
