Lynn's 5 Star Review
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of contemporary romance. Stephanie Witter has been able to do what few other authors have accomplished. I absolutely adore her writing. Stephanie's stories are not unrealistic or unattainable. Her writing is REAL. The stories tug at your heart strings and remind you of your past loves. The same is true in her latest book, Six Years. Who among us didn't have that crush on the older high school guy while we were much younger? (Mine was Paul and he lived across the street.) The back and forth between Brooklyn and Nolan is very REAL. And you can cut the sexual tension with a knife! There are many layers to this story. The relationship between Nolan and his mother rips at your heart. Brooklyn's non existence with her own family will bring you to tears. This story plays out in your mind as you read it. Its so real and relatable. If you were a fan of Patch Up you will love Six Years.
Cheree's 5 Star Review
A fantastic and heart wrenching romance. But love is love, and the heart can't be fooled. True to Stephanie Witters way, this story is so real and believable. Your heart breaks for the way Brooklyn and Nolan grew up and the things they had to experience. So much emotion and deep situations. And you really connect and understand the way the characters are feeling. There really is so much going on, so many issues that go deep into making these characters who they are, and form the decisions and choices they have make. And then there is all the hotness and tension between them, enough to make you yell at the book JUST KISS HER ALREADY! Sigh, greatness

Title : Six YearsAuthor : Stephanie Witter
Book Cover : Jo Raven Release Day : June 9thCategory and genre : New Adult Contemporary RomanceNovel length : over 100.000 words. Standalone
Blurb :
They hadn’t seen each other in six years.
She’d always had a crush on him.
He'd only ever seen her like a little sister.
And now...he’s back.
Brooklyn
I thought that he was a part of a distant past. I thought I didn’t feel anything for him now, but I was not so sure anymore. Having him back in my life, for however long it was, was making me see things differently. So many things had changed in the last six years and somehow I’d lost myself and forgotten all about my dreams.
My home life was still a mess, my personal life was nothing to boast about and when I see how successful he is, how everything he’d always wanted came true, I couldn't help but feel lacking in a lot of ways. But he’s back and he needed me. I knew I was the only one who understood that part of his life, the only one he’s willing to share it with. My heart is still beating too hard and too fast for him and this time around, I was as much an adult as he was.
Having a six year age gap didn't mean shit.
Nolan
Being back in Riverdale was harder than I thought. I’d turned my back on that life, but there had always been that one girl in my head. Little B. Now she’s nothing like the twelve year old girl I’d last seen. She’s a young woman, gorgeous and sexy. I couldn't stay away. There’s something drawing me to her and it goes beyond my need to reconnect with her, to have her back in my life and fill the hollow part of my chest. But I couldn't forget the little girl she had been; I shouldn’t forget the little girl she used to be.
Growing up with a junkie mother and nobody else, my neighbor, Brooklyn, had been my only happy place. I had taken care of her, and when I had left, I had to leave behind a huge part of me. I couldn't do it again. I needed her. Once again, she’s the only person I want in my life, but I wasn’t sure if it was for all the right reasons.
Were there too many obstacles in the way?
Contemporary Romance standalone novel for readers over 18.

Short Excerpt:
"I won’t push you away."
His Adam’s apple jumped once and a smile brightened his face. My eyes landed on his pierced lower lip and a wave of lust punched me low in my belly. I cleared my throat, feeling uncomfortable with the pictures my brain conjured.
He came closer, erasing the little space separating us. I could feel the washed away denim of his blue jeans and his firm thigh underneath against my bare leg. I wanted to close my eyes and revel in his presence, in the feel of his body against me, but I didn't. I kept my eyes open as he leaned into me and wrapped his arms around me. The lean muscles in his arms flexed, his bare and hot skin brushing mine. I felt naked in my tank top as his bare arms were doing things to me I never thought possible.
"Relax, Brooklyn. It's just me," he said in my ear, his thin lips and loop tracing the words against the sensitive skin of my ear. I never realized before how an ear could be so erogenous. I couldn't believe it. I was in Nolan's arms six years after he left. He was here, in my bedroom.
I took a deep breath and the smell of his clean clothes and the scent that was only him, assaulted me. I was taken back to six years ago, before I had to face the loneliness that was my life. Before I lost my best friend. But right now, I wanted to stay in his arms without thinking about his departure or the future. I wrapped my arms around his narrow waist and balled his t-shirt in my fists.
He relaxed against me and ran a hand up and down my back, avoiding the small of my back that was bared by my tank top which had ridden up. "It feels different," he said, pulling away. He nibbled on the loop in his lower lip.
I nodded and smiled weakly. Losing the heat and weight of his arms around me made me feel depressed. I missed that kind of attention, of touch. Mike and all the guys before him never hugged me just because they cared about me. If they hugged me it was with the purpose to have me naked minutes later and while I was all for it, it was also difficult when you had nobody to give you a real, warm hug. I’d forgotten what comfort felt like.
"It's different. We're both adults now."
