July Book: Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

About the Book

Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone couldn’t solve or save everything. It couldn’t save their marriage. Yasmen wasn’t prepared for how her life fell apart, but she is finally starting to find joy again. She and Josiah have found a new rhythm, co-parenting their two kids and running a thriving business together. Yet like magnets, they’re always drawn back to each other, and now they’re beginning to wonder if they’re truly ready to let go of everything they once had. Soon, one stolen kiss leads to another…and then more. It's hot. It's illicit. It's all good—until old wounds reopen. Is it too late for them to find forever? Or could they even be better, the second time around?

Award-winning and bestselling "powerhouse" author Kennedy Ryan is at her absolute best in this compelling, scorching novel about hope and healing, and what it truly means to love for a lifetime (USA Today).

About the Author
Kennedy Ryan writes contemporary romance and women's fiction. She always gives her characters their happily ever after, but loves to make them work for it! It's a long road to love, so sit back and enjoy the ride. Kennedy is a wife to the love of her life, mom to a special, beautiful son, and a friend to those living with autism through her charitable foundation.

Gallery Opening & Meet the Artist: Aidan Neely
First Friday: June 06 | 5 PM
Featuring images from Downtown Chester and the surrounding shoreline area. A mix of line drawings and paintings.

________

Aidan Neely is an accomplished artist and longtime resident of Middlesex County in CT, currently residing in the picturesque town of Chester with his loving wife and son. His artistic talents span a diverse range, encompassing both painting and fine line drawing.

Having a background in architecture, Aidan's journey in the world of art started with numerous achievements in design and drawing competitions during his schooling years. Inspired by his mother, who was also an artist, he embarked on a transformative artistic path. Over the years, Aidan honed his skills by participating in various fine arts outdoor festivals, where he had the privilege of learning from and being mentored by local great artists. These experiences helped him cultivate his unique style of drawing and painting, which stands out as a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary influences.

Aidan's acrylic paintings predominantly feature landscapes and objects, with a special fondness for seafood still life compositions and occasional portraits. His masterful brushwork and vibrant color choices bring life and energy to each canvas, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the scenes depicted.

In addition to his paintings, Aidan's fine line pen and ink drawings have garnered much attention and admiration, particularly for their focus on local buildings, especially those in Chester. With great reverence for the town's historical charm, he skillfully captures the essence of these beloved structures, evoking a sense of nostalgia that resonates with the locals and visitors alike.

Aidan's art is part of a showing at Little House Brewing, nestled in the heart of downtown Chester, CT, throughout June and July 2025. The exhibition will showcase his exquisite pen and ink drawings of local buildings, providing art enthusiasts with an opportunity to relish the beauty of the town's architectural heritage as well as his acrylic paintings. Limited edition prints of these drawings will also be available for purchase, allowing art lovers to cherish a piece of Chester's essence within the walls of their own homes.

Aidan Neely invites all to join him at the exhibition and experience the passion and love of Chester that permeates his artwork. Through his brushstrokes and pen lines, he weaves a visual narrative that captivates the imagination and celebrates the timeless charm of Chester, CT.

The Gibbons is a duo/trio/four-piece band from the CT River Valley playing blues, folk and rock originals and covers. Started by old friends Ryan Milke and Alex Kratzert as an acoustic guitar duo, the band has been joined by Evan Barrett on bass and Jon Morse on drums, bringing both relaxed, easy-listening performances as well as high-energy, improvisational shows.

May Book: Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage

About the Book
Book One in the Rebel Blue Ranch Series. She’s off-limits, but he’s never been good at following the rules. For the first time in her life, Clementine “Emmy” Ryder has no idea what she’s doing. She’s accomplished everything on her to-do list. She left her small hometown of Meadowlark, Wyoming; went to college; and made a career for herself by doing her favorite thing: riding horses. But after an accident makes it impossible for her to get back into the saddle, she has no choice but to return to the hometown she always wanted to escape. Luke Brooks is Meadowlark’s most notorious bad boy, bar owner, and bachelor. He’s also the unofficial fifth member of the Ryder family. As Emmy’s older brother’s best friend, Luke spent most of his childhood antagonizing her. It’s been years since he’s seen her, but when she walks into his bar and back into his life, he can’t take his eyes off her. Despite his better judgment, he wants to do a whole lot more than just look at her. Emmy’s got too much on her mind to think about romance. And Luke knows he should stay away from his best friend’s younger sister. But what if Luke is just what Emmy needs to get her spark back? Or will they both go up in flames?

About the Author
Lyla Sage is a hopelessly romantic twenty-something that lives in the Wild West with her loyal companion: a sweet, old, blind rescue pitbull. She writes romance that feels like her favorite things: sunshine and big blue skies. When Lyla is not writing, she's reading, usually about cowboys or hometown heroes, but she's been known to dabble with mob bosses, monsters, and billionaires, too. Lyla started reading romance novels way before she was probably supposed to, and credits her success as a writer to the fact that she was a founding member of her junior high’s writing club–even though there were only three members. Lyla writes the way she reads–obsessively and with joy. There’s nothing she loves more than love (except for maybe Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups). You can usually find her under her heated blanket, at her favorite local bookstore, or up in the mountains.

April Book: There's Something About Mira by Sonali Dev

About the Book
Mira Salvi has the perfect life—a job she loves, a fiancé everyone adores, and the secure future she’s always imagined for herself. Really, she hasn’t a thing to complain about, not even when she has to go on her engagement trip to New York alone. While playing tourist in the city, Mira chances upon a lost ring, and her social media post to locate its owner goes viral. With everyone trying to claim the ring, only one person seems to want to find its owner as badly as Mira: journalist Krish Hale. Brooding and arrogant, he will do anything to get to write this story. As Krish and Mira reluctantly join forces and jump into the adventure of tracing the ring back to where it belongs, Mira begins to wonder if she is in the right place in her own life. She had to have found this ring for a reason…right? Maybe, like the owner of the lost ring, her happy ending hasn’t been written yet either.

About the Author
Sonali Dev’s first literary work was a play about mistaken identities performed at her neighborhood Diwali extravaganza in Mumbai. She was eight years old. Despite this early success, Sonali spent the next few decades getting degrees in architecture and written communication, migrating across the globe, and starting a family while writing for magazines and websites. With the advent of her first gray hair her mad love for telling stories returned full force, and she now combines it with her insights into Indian culture to conjure up stories that make a mad tangle with her life as supermom, domestic goddess, and world traveler. Sonali lives in the Chicago suburbs with her very patient and often amused husband and two teens who demand both patience and humor, and the world’s most perfect dog.
