"My Life on Tender is a great and emotionally provocative novel with a solid plot and such real and relatable characters. It's the type of romance novel you need every once in a while."-- Reader's Favorite
Arina Gramma has it all-good looks, social status, social media followers-except for one thing: true love. Prompted by the reading of a gypsy fortuneteller, she embarks on a journey around the world and dating apps to find the man of her dreams. But falling in love with a smoking hot rockstar from Southern California is not exactly what she expects...
When Arina mistakenly super likes a profile on Tender, she has no idea what's in store for her. The man hiding his identity behind a beach picture is a successful guitar player from California and seems to be the perfect match. Cal is sexy, passionate, and gives her his undivided attention. How could she decline his invitation to visit him in Southern California?
Eager to fulfill the gypsy fortuneteller's prediction and delete Tender from her phone, Arina packs her orange fashion Samsonite with her laptop and designer clothes for her trip to Los Angeles.
But Cal doesn't own a mansion in Malibu, as she expects, and his temper is rather quick. As months go by and Arina falls deeper and deeper for him, dark secrets surface. Cal's tumultuous past comes back to haunt him, threatening their future together. Their life is akin to a rollercoaster, with the exhilarating highs of beach kisses and the plunging lows of kitchen quarrels.
Will Cal conquer his inner demons and become Arina's forever match?
