Love is weakness.
Love is unkind.
Love is selfish.

I know better than anyone else. Having made the mistake once before, I refuse to give myself to anyone, body or mind. My heart isn’t even an option. Fresh out of college, I plan to spend my final summer home in the small town of Aurora, New Hampshire with my loving, flighty mother and old friends, my eyes set on the future. That’s before I’m welcomed home by a beautifully flawed drifter, in search of his own. It’s hardly love at first sight. More like loathe. He creeps under my skin from the moment he refuses to acknowledge my existence.

But, it’s hard to deny there’s something in the way he watches me, the way his presence calms and electrifies me, bringing something dead inside to life again. He’s been jaded by his own loss and heartache. It’s burned into his very being. I want to know Holt Turner—and that terrifies me to death.

A STANDALONE NOVEL.
New Adult Contemporary Romance.
18+ for some language, adult situations, and sexual content.

In love with these characters!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

It’s been a while since two characters have completely taken over in my head.

These two absolutely made theirselves at home. They are complicated, raw, messy and so damn real with all of their faults.

The saying “you can never go home” doesn’t apply to Violet (Evie). She’s home from college and things aren’t as they appear. Her mother is cleaning and cooking. There’s a boy living in her studio and the boy she loved since preschool is back home too. The town folks all stare and whisper. She’s got a secret of her own that’s a game changer.

Holt has been living the nomad life for too long. He’s fine with it though, he’s never really felt the need to stay in one place... when a lady takes pity on him and makes a deal.. food and board for help repairing and keeping up her property, he figures it’s a good place to rest till he’s ready to start moving on again..until he see’s her picture. The girl in the pictures all over the house.

Then she’s there.. can they both break the walls they’ve built to see what more life has for them?

This is probably my favorite book from this author and that’s saying something because I’m a huge fan. Definitely a 5 Star must read!

I like my Happily Ever Afters, but...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Not bad! I mostly enjoyed it. The characters and their relationships all felt *mostly* authentic, and the setting felt real to me too.

My main problem with it is the drifter hero, who spent his backstory free of attachment, and now he runs around glaring and insulting the Main Character, being generally hostile, manipulative and socially unacceptable, and then grabbing MC for vigorous (but not graphic, thankfully) hate-sex. Suddenly (after the MC deals with her main, unrelated problems) HEA. The MC has a small character arc, in that she only changes a little from the beginning to the end, but that's the focus of the story; Mr. hero has to undergo a huge character change (manipulative, noncommittal, hostile --> honest, generous, devoted) for MC to get her HEA, but it comes off as an abrupt change. Did he start taking a really strong medication or something?

TL;DR: an anti-hero that I had come to understand, if only because I could see how he would sabotage his own happiness, was suddenly possessed by HEA romance gods. I didn't love him (I would have, as a teenager), but he didn't deserve that.

If the other elements of the story were worse, I wouldn't bat an eye at wishful-thinking, bad-boy-turned-good-suddenly author antics, but this was almost a legitimate bit of literature. As it is, it's still a good read, but I won't remember it.

Talented New Author -- Great New Book!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2016

What a fantastic debut novel for Aubrey Brenner! Very rarely do books affect me in such a way that I become a weeping pile of goo...but, this book touched something in my heart.

Not only did the story flow and keep my interest, so did the characters. There was no point in this story when I felt as though any character lacked depth, feeling, or even a storyline. Everyone had a place and a purpose and added something special. I found myself really rooting for some and really despising others.

At its core, this is a love story. But, it's not your typical and predictable love story. There's something here for everyone...with just the right amount of heat to get your heart racing. I look forward to so much more from this author...she's a great new talent and she can tell a story like few others I've read. Bravo, Aubrey! When's the next one coming out?

Secondary Colors is a beautiful realistic love story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Secondary Colors is a beautiful realistic love story. I highly recommend this to everyone especially those who have struggled and are struggling with their demons and felt and feel like you're alone. This was a very emotional read for me because you see so many characters struggling with things that happen every day. This book is a breath of fresh air because we get to see everything build as we're reading instead of your normal cliche' reads to where you're hit with everything at once. You fall hard for these characters to the point you feel and see everything they are. During this book you'll see a little bit of everything from complete chaos to that raw you think you're going to break because you are absolutely terrified love.

Beautiful Colors

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This sweet book by Aubrey Brenner really deserved 100 stars! It grabbed me and quickly pulled me into it's circle of townspeople, good (& bad) friends, a couple of people one gets to know near the end, family, and a nice and nicely influential lady from NYC. Of course, there is Evie, also known by her birth name, through whose voice this book is told. There is caring, disrespect, jealousy, anger and plain ole family loving. But Evie probably would never have gotten through her teens and college if not for her college homecoming being met by Holt. I am unable to say anything negative about Primary Colors!

Secondary Colors by Aubrey Brenner is a wonderful story of the life of a young lady. It's the trails of what she goes the through and how she overcome what life hands her. The story seemed to move slow for the first part of the book but then picks up and you won't want to put it the book down.

I've fallen in love. Not only with Holt Turner, but with Aubrey Brenner's writing. Her descriptive and heartfelt writing has won me over and brought tears to my eyes. Though I was attracted to the book by the vibrant and intriguing book cover, I was captivated by the imagery and emotions that Aubrey's writing evoked in me. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a highly-satisfying romantic book to read!

second chance love story, but it not how you think

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Every girl has had that crush on a boy from a far, some are luckily to get there HEA, others never get the chance, and a small percent get to experience it if only for a night. Evie got to her chance only to wake-up the next morning all alone. Three months later she is returning home from uni to tell Aidan she is pregnant,only his interfering mother has other plans.

Flash forward 4 years and Evie is returning home for the summer months after finishing uni and until she can start her new life in New York, but she wasn't prepared for what she would find when she returned, not only is there a complete stranger(who is HOT, and intriguing) living in her family's home. Aidan has returned home for good too and can't wait to have a chance of making things right between them.

This is a story about trying to heal from the past and moving forward to finally have a life she always dreamed about. Can either of these two men break down the wall she has built up to protect herself from getting hurt again by the men in her life.
