“Cara Bastone is an absolute master of tender, emotional, soul-charged love stories. Her writing feels like a fish hook in my chest, in the best possible way. No Matter What is an aching meditation on love in all its forms and how it changes and shifts and molds itself around you. I’ll love everything Bastone ever does . . . no matter what.”New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms

“Cara Bastone is writing the new classics in romance. These are sacred texts; stories that feel familiar and fresh all at once.”—Tarah Dewitt, USA Today bestselling author

“Silent yearning and aching hearts animate this deeply emotional contemporary. . . . Bastone makes their reconciliation a delicious slow burn. . . . This impresses.”Publishers Weekly

“Bastone brings her signature tender character development to a marriage-in-trouble romance, perfect for readers seeking more of this trope after reading Tarah DeWitt’s smash hit Left of Forever.—Library Journal

“Through exquisite turns of phrase and a fascinating cast of characters, [Cara] Bastone provides a loving portrait of New York City and an intimate and poignant look at a fractured relationship. . . . Most romance novels depict the growth of a relationship, but this one very successfully shows one deconstructed and then built anew. It’s a lovely story that will wring readers’ hearts.”BookPage

A Love Story

"I will never doubt Cara Bastone and her ability to take an unconventional, difficult subject matter and create a beautiful love story. Only select few have the talent to do so in Romance genre and also write wonderfully. I can't wait for her next book and books after that and just thankful that I have that to look forward to for years to come. "Draw, Antonio; draw, Antonio. ; draw and don't waste time. " - Michelangelo"

I want a Vin of my own!!

"No Matter What, if it's a Cara Bastone book, I'm bound to enjoy it! Set in West Village, New York, Vin and Roz are a married couple who have been through a traumatic accident and it's taken a toll on not only their relationship, but their mental health. As they try to find their way back to each other, they grow and learn, incorporating different forms of therapies to heal. I rooted for Roz and Vin from the start. Their slow burn is tender with emotion. But also has splashes of light too. Their biggest downfall is a break in communication. And it truly made me sad for them. So much unnecessary pain. But as they learn to communicate again, the way they support and care for one another is so heartfelt. The vulnerability just eats at you. Especially Vin though. You get brief POV's from him and yet, the author will make you wish for a Vin of your own. And when things do heat up, it gets needfully hot, yet intimate. Their connection undeniable. I loved the way their story comes together in the end. There is a big piece of plot in healing through art. For some reason, it was something that took me out of the story a little bit while reading. I just wanted more focus on the couple together. In reading the authors 'Behind the Book' end note and finding the personal significance though, it really made me look back and appreciate it all the more. In the end I didn't have that same love I had for the author's last two books, but it's one that I really enjoyed nonetheless. Her writing is so effortless to read and get lost in. I definitely recommend trying it. Especially if you are an art lover who enjoys the marriage in crisis trope!"

Cara Bastone is the bestselling author of Ready or Not and Promise Me Sunshine. She lives and writes in Brooklyn with her husband, sons, and an almost-goldendoodle. Her goal with her work is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories. She's been a fan of the romance genre since she found a grocery bag filled with her grandmother's old Harlequin Romances when she was in high school. She's a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren't hobbled by their own masculinity.
