Beau
She is beautiful, probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, but she's damaged. Her a-hole exboyfriend broke her. I still want her. I can show her that all men aren't the same. That I'm different. But time isn't on my side, I've only got a few weeks to make her mine before she's gone forever.
Mallory
He's everything I need to stay away from, handsome, cocky, and irresistible. I try to resist him. I really do, but he's relentless. Against my better judgment, I give in and let him have me. All of me. I should have known better.
Can’t Let Go is a heart-warming love story about Beau, a country boy with a heart of gold, and Mallory, a woman scorned. The timing couldn’t be more wrong, but sometimes someone walks into your life and you just can’t let them go.

Interview with Crissy BrownAuthor of Cant Let Go
Welcome to JB’s Bookworms with Brandy Mulder.
Tell us about your newest book.Can’t Let Go is a sweet, yet steamy, relatable romance. Beau is a down-home country boy. Pure of heart, with good intentions, the kind of guy I feel like most girls don’t realize is amazing until he’s gone. Mallory is a damaged girl. Her ex put her through the ringer and she has a hard time trusting anyone. As much as she isn’t ready for a relationship, their chemistry is undeniable. Sometimes though, chemistry isn’t enough and these two have to figure out if they’re willing to fight for what they’ve got or just let it go.
Writing isn’t easy. What was the most difficult thing you dealt with when writing your newest book?
Finding time. Working full-time as a teacher and a mom of five year-old twins makes it hard to have time for myself. Add cleaning and other mom/wife duties and my days are full. However, I make it a point to sit down two or three nights a week for at least an hour and set a weekly goal.
Tell us a little bit about your writing career.
Its new! Which is exciting and terrifying all at once.
They say Hind-sight is 20/20. If you could give advice to the writer you were the first time you sat down to write, what would it be?
Start your author page and build a platfrom from day one. Not the day your book is done, but from the day you decide your’re going to write a book. I waited for my novel to be finished before I thought about a platform and am playing catch-up.
Excellent advice. What was your most difficult scene to write?
The intimate scenes. I never know how much is too much. And the first one was the worst! It felt like I was losing my virginity all over again because it was a new and scary experience. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve them
What are you working on now?
The second installment in the Gerogia Boys Novel: Come A Little Closer. If you’ve read Can’t Let Go, this next book follows playboy Kevin as his childhood sweetheart moves back to town. She’s everything he hoped she would be, but he’s nothing like the boy she left behind ten years ago. Will his past ruin their chance at a future?
Is there a release date planned?
February 9th
Oh, we'll be watching for it.
Who is your favorite character from your own stories, and why?
Rob because he is the resident bad-boy. Although we don’t see as much of him in the first two books, his the world will get to know him in the third.
Most writers were readers as children. What was your favorite book in grade school?
I can’t say I had a favorite book, but I loved the author Christopher Pike. Every now and then I’ll pick up one of the many books of his I have on my bookshelf and re-read something.
What are your plans for future projects?
The Georgia Boys series has at least three novels in the works. I also am working on a new series but the kinks are still being flushed out.
Is there anything you would like to add before we finish?
I just want to say thank you for this interview and I hope everyone likes my book!
You're welcome. Good luck with your newest release, and thank you for being with us today.
Keep scrolling for an excerpt from Cant Let Go, by Chrissy Brown.
Two days. It’s been two days without Mallory, and I’m going fucking crazy. I miss her so much it hurts. I didn’t know it was possible to fall for somebody so fast and so hard. It sucks; being alone sucks.
Days are hard. Nearly every place I go triggers a memory, but nights are even harder. Every time I close my eyes I see her face. Her heart breaking over and over again in my dreams. I don’t know if my memories are becoming clearer as time goes on or if my mind has started filling in the blanks. My nightmares get so bad I can’t sleep unless I black out.
Every breath hurts, every movement, even something as simple as getting out of bed in the morning is a struggle. The guilt of knowing how much I hurt her and the loneliness I feel inside eats me alive.
I spend my days wondering what she’s doing.
Is she okay?
Is she still crying?
Is she curled up on the couch watching Mama Mia and trying to forget me?
Is she out drinking herself to death like I am as I try to block out the pain?
Or, the worst one of all, did she get over me and move on to someone new? I think that thought tears me up the most. I know we haven’t been apart long, but the phrase “to get over someone you have to get under someone else” haunts me.
Thinking about her in some other man’s arms, his lips kissing her soft skin, his hands roaming her body, makes me sick. The only thing that helps numb the suckiness that has become my life is the whiskey.
I grab the bottle of Jack beside my bed and take a swallow, then chase it down with another and another until the pain doesn’t hurt quite as much. But no matter how much I drink, there’s always a dull ache that is Mallory.
