August Lane

Praise for August Lane

“August Lane is taut, voicy, emotional, and propulsive. In a word: spectacular. Regina Black is hands-down one of romance’s must-read authors.”
 

“I need Regina Black’s words fresh when they drop, because I know I’m always about to have my mind blown and my heart cracked open in the best possible way. It’s a beautifully crafted story of yearning and angst, forgiveness and down-bad devotion worthy of any country song.”

“Black’s emotionally resonant and swoon-worthy prose will keep you captivated and eager for more!”

“August Lane is acoustic soul. August and Luke set the pages on fire with sultry chemistry as thick as any southern summer night. Whether you have guitar strings or heart strings, August expertly plucks them both. A love letter to the South and Black Southerners who stayed, August Lane cements Regina Black as the new vanguard of Black romance authors.”

“August Lane, like a good country song it breaks your heart and mends it all at once. A deeply emotional second chance romance that honors the place of Black artists in country music and affirms that no matter the how far you’ve drifted from your dreams there is always a chance to make a comeback.”

“‘Obsessed’ doesn’t even begin to cover how I feel about Regina Black’s books. Impeccably written, exquisitely angsty, and populated with characters so raw and real I had to remind myself I couldn’t lose hours googling them, August Lane is easily a new all-time favorite.”

“August and Luke are magnetic—raw, beautifully flawed, and palpable enough to jump off the page in perfect harmony. You’ll demand an encore.”

“Regina Black's sophomore novel August Lane showcases romance writing at its finest. On one hand, it's a story about two lonely people who initially connect through the power of music, but it also speaks to the vulnerabilities and fears we all feel when opening our hearts to falling in love and taking chances. August Lane is a true tour de force, and Regina Black is a singular talent. We are so lucky to have her work!”

"The combination of complex characters, gorgeous prose, and a compulsively readable plot made The Art of Scandal one of my top romances of all time.

This wildly steamy, utterly heartwarming novel is all about finding transcendent love and passion where you least expect it—and the ways in which art can transform our lives.
