Blog Tour, Review, & Giveaway: Two Blue Lines by SC Montgomery



His fear . . . Her secrets . . . Their choice.

What if the only girl you’ve ever loved lied to you?
Lied to everyone?
Those two blue lines changed everything for Reed Young and Melissa Summers. In more ways than one.
And now, he must decide for himself . . .
Man up or walk away?

SC Montgomery has created an emotional tale of first love, difficult choices, and impossible secrets. A deliciously angsty debut you need to read for yourself.

***Reader Warning*** Two Blue Lines is the emotional, honest story of two teenagers whose lives are about to change forever. While not glorified, or portrayed in detail, there are themes of sexual assault and teen pregnancy, as well as allusions to teenage drinking and some foul language. It is all meant to create an honest, relevant novel, but please be aware and read only if you’re comfortable.

***Note, while this novel is a standalone that deals with mature subject matter, it may be helpful to read Lines in the Sand first to understand what makes Reed Young tick and hear about the summer that changed his life forever. Well, before this one.

 In the story of Two Blue Lines you meet a young couple, Melissa Summers and Reed
Young, two sixteen year olds who are completely in love. One summer changes it
all. They take the next big step in their relationship and decide to have sexual
intercourse and now she's pregnant. They have a decision to make and it is the
hardest one they will ever make for the rest of their lives. One that can change
their hopes and dreams for their future. Only one problem she's hiding a secret.
Will she be brave enough to tell Reed or will she harbor it forever?

My name is Melissa Summers, and I've dreamed of nothing more than being with
Reed Young since I was thirteen years old. I will never forget the day I caught
his attention....because I'd been trying for two straight months. I wore a
Misfits t-shirt and lots of black eyeliner, and strode by with as much
confidence as a girl that age can muster with my lunch tray in hands.
He was sitting there, talking and laughing with his best buddy, Johan King, all
but oblivious to me. Until I tripped on my black Keds and fell right beside him,
dumping my lunch all over the floor and myself.
I was mortified.
I wanted to run, crying and screaming, and die in a hole.
But Reed shifted his seat and looked at me.
Finally looked at me.
And that was it.
He helped me up, we cleaned up my spilled lunch tray, and we've been inseparable
ever since.

SC Montgomery pulls you into their story and allows you to feel. How will these
two characters deal with real life struggles that happen in our day in age more
often than some will admit. Teen pregnancy is on the rise. Most teens make the
correct decision but sometimes the circumstances at which it happens cannot be
controlled by you. How do two teenagers at the young age of sixteen make the
right decision and basically do it on their own?

His fear....her secrets....their choice.
