ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 27, 2022.

The world owes you nothing.

It took losing the woman I loved and facing the paralyzing task of moving on without her for me to truly understand that.

Consumed by regret and razor-sharp memories, I’d resigned myself to a life of loneliness until a survivor from the same plane crash that took my fiancée stormed into my life.

Remi Grey was chaos and sunshine, fire and freedom. With her in my arms, I began to believe that fate had other plans for me.

But as secrets of the past exploded around us, it seemed the only thing fated about our relationship was that I had been destined to lose her from the start.

The world owes you nothing. But for Remi, I would risk it all. No matter the cost.

REVIEW: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY AND SOMEONE is the first instalment in Aly Martinez’s contemporary, adult DIFFERENCE romance trilogy focusing on twenty-nine year old, accountant Bowen Michaels , and realtor Remi Grey.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bowen and Remi) following several timelines, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY AND SOMEONE focuses on the building romance and relationship between Bowen Michaels, and Remi Grey. Six months earlier Bowen Michaels, and Remi Grey were two of only twenty-seven survivors of a plane crash that claimed the lives of one-hundred and fifty-two people, a crash that claimed the woman Bowen had loved. Bowen and Remi would reconnect at a court hearing in the wake of a number of law suits against the airplane manufacturer, a hearing that would start our couple on a journey towards healing, reconnecting and moving forward.

Bowen Michaels has struggled in the months since the plane crash that claimed the lives of so many people. Never expecting to again find love, Bowen is pulled towards the woman that calls to his heart, a heart he never expected to beat again. Remi Grey is a bit of a flake; an effervescent but clumsy heroine whose attraction to Bowen is immediate, fated and intense, an attraction that can only be explained by a once in a lifetime love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY AND SOMEONE is a story of secrets and lies, love and loss, acceptance and second chances. The premise is revealing, captivating and riveting ; the romance is emotional and heart breaking; the characters are shaken and broken but healing. We are introduced to Remi’s roommates and best friends Mark and Aaron, as well as Bowen’s siblings Tyson and Cassidy. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY AND SOMEONE ends on a twisted cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
