“Resilience” Book 2 released today!
You all know that we promote Rob 100%, but occasionally we pull out an extra 10% to promote Nick Osborne’s novels. As many of you know, Nick was the producer of Remember Me. I was fortunate enough to forge a friendship with Nick due to his involvement in that movie (and my constant querying about things to which he always politely responded). From that I may have volunteered to read an early draft of Refuge. To my surprise, Nick sent me a copy and I never looked back. I love Charlie & Noor’s relationship and the characters Nick has developed. When I got to the end of Book 1 – Refuge – I couldn’t wait to find out what happens in the next instalment. Lucky for me I read a draft of “Resilience” earlier this year and I was not disappointed. Now I’m hanging out for the third and final instalment. What to expect in book 2? Everything. Here’s the summary from Nick’s website:
“Noor has arrived in Saudi Arabia to begin her new life as a Princess, while Charlie is back in the United States having been deported from Pakistan.
For Noor, there is the temptation, given that she believes Charlie’s dead, to accept her new situation and assimilate into the Prince’s family. For Charlie, there is the temptation to come to terms with the fact that he’ll never see Noor again and move on.
But each, in their own way, resists. Noor yearns to be free, while Charlie yearns to free her. And so despite incredible odds, each sets a plan in a motion to achieve their goal.
In Resilience, the second novel of the Refuge trilogy, N.G. Osborne continues Noor and Charlie’s love story and in turn tests their love’s very resilience.”
As part of our 5 year anniversary celebrations, Nick has kindly agreed to personally sign 2 sets of “Refuge” and “Resilience” for us to give away. Â This competition is open worldwide. Â All you have to do is comment on this post and we will randomly select 2 lucky people*.
If you want more background on Nick or just want to purchase both Refuge or Resilience in paperback you should check out his website here or Refuge’s Facebook page here. Note: Resilience is currently only available in paperback, the ipad/Kindle version will be available from Amazon tomorrow. I’ll update this post once it’s live.
For those who want to purchase (thanks Cindy for the links):
Good luck everyone.
*Giveaway will close at 6pm (AEST) Sunday 10 November 2013.
I would love to read these!
Another bonus of being apart of this site!
looking so forward to part 2 of this fabulous trilogy. Thanks girls and Nick 😀
Wow ~ What a cool giveaway. My DH will be happy to hear that book 2 is out ~ he really enjoyed Refuge. Thanks so much for info. SO cool that you get to give copies away.
Pick me. Pick me!!!
Seriously, I broke a rule too and visited Nick’s FB page. And I had to ask my daughter how to Like something. Becuase I do. I really do!
I’d love to read these – I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🙂
I finished reading a book today, just in time to start reading Resilience tomorrow. I’ve been waiting for more on Charlie and Noor for way too long now. Love their story so far. Thanks Maria and Nick 🙂
Thank you for the book and giveaway information, Maria!
I never would have connected Nick with RM and the books. In fact, this is the first I’ve heard about them but if you and others are so gung-ho about them then I guess it’s past time for me to read them. 😉 Pssst…even better if I won! If not, then I will purchase them as I’m able.
Thank you!
Sure hope they let me read Resilience in Rob Rehab ………haha. Thanks a bunch, Maria & best wishes Nick!
What a wonderful post and fantastic giveaway Maria. Thanks so much to Nick, I absolutely adored Refuge and can’t wait to read Resilience 🙂
I don’t expect to be counted in the giveaway, just wanted to say how awesome this is 🙂
Thank you so very much Maria and Nick 🙂
I was deeply touched by Refuge and was so excited to hear at the time that a second novel would be released. Thank you Nick and thank you Maria it’s lovely how you support Nick.
The first time I read about Refuge was through RP Australia twitter feed. I was very curious and bought it. I loved it. Cannot wait to start reading Resiliency.
Sorry about that typo: meant Resilience 🙂
That’s OK Flavia, we know what you mean 🙂
Good luck everyone!
That’s another thing I love about this site – all the new leads to other subjects (not necessarily Rob related). It’s like a ripple effect, with Rob at it’s hub! Have discovered so many other films, directors, actors and writers through this site. Maria, you’re awesome for getting in touch with people and getting stuff happening – someone ought to hire you as a PR person! Anyway, I wish Nick every success with his new book – hope it becomes a best seller!
I agree with the comments – a wonderful added bonus of what you generous ladies share with us. Thank you and to Nick , also best wishes to him on his new book and good luck to everyone – 🙂
How amazing of Nick to do this! The first book was amazing and he deserves all the success coming his way!
Not an entry just wanted to wish you all luck! 😉
These sound like an awesome read. They would make an awesome birthday present 😉
Maria, I’m not sure where I could write this comment, I’m ok with it not being part of the giveaway. I hadn’t yet discovered your wonderful site at the time of Remember Me and I wasn’t aware of Nick being the one behind the amazing movie. I had seen you mention Nick in other posts but it just clicked today. I just wanted to say I hope Nick knows what am impact that movie had on people. My friend and ex school Principal in his early 70s could not speak highly enough about the movie. He refused and still refuses to watch Twilight but he absolutely loved Rob and his character in Remember Me. It was the first movie he saw of Rob and still talks about it til this day. He was deeply touched by the story and what he saw and I can assure you he doesn’t hold back in his criticism if need be.
Thanks @Silvie – I’ll make sure Nick does see this comment. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be chuffed 🙂
LOVE reading your friend’s comments about Remember Me Silvie.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway, what a lovely thing to do. I bought Resilience today around lunch time through amazon and I CANNOT STOP READING!!!!!!!!!! I’m already halfway through. Nick has done it again, it’s a great sequel. The suspense is killing me already and I hope that we won’t have to wait too long for book 3.
Awesome giveaway. And a wonderful gesture on Nick’s part. No need to consider this an entry. Just wanted to say that I loved Refuge and am looking forward to reading Resilience! Will be downloading a copy to my kindle shortly. He’s an amazing writer and I wish him much success. 🙂
He is Suze and you won’t be disappointed 🙂
Thanks Maria for this post. Looking forward to catching up with this read and thanks for all your Amazon details.
@Silvie – awesome story. And just my 2 cents worth – not knowing about RPAU back then shouldn’t be a reason not to enter. I love hearing new fans coming to Rob and it is brilliant to have new commenters on the site through the years.
Just finished reading Resilience on kindle …… All I can say is, Nick better be spending his every waking moment writing Book 3, because I NEED to know what happens to Charlie & Noor!!!!!! Absolutely LOVED Book 2, congrats to Nick for another brilliant read. Now I’d just like to hear news of a Refuge movie deal ……. *I have the perfect Charlie in mind*
Just about to finish uni for the year. Would love to read these in my time off.
I told you @Sue you wouldn’t be disappointed. Book 3 should be coming out early next year I believe. Will keep you all posted.
I agree I think it would make a fantastic film.
@Carmel, thank you. 😀
