Synopsis:Never apologizeHard-edged rocker Graham Allen has it all. He’s flush with cash from playing bass in a band by night and restoring classic cars by day. And there are plenty of women willing to share his bed for a night, complication-free. Perfect, because if there’s anything he learned from his past, it was to never get attached—to anything. So when bartender Carly Sullivan flashes her innocent smile, Graham isn’t prepared for what happens next.
Never fall in love
Two rules, that’s all Graham has—never apologize and never fall in love. He knows Carly is everything he should avoid. Cheerful and sweet, she has “relationship” written all over her. But Graham can’t stay away from her probing questions and concerned blue eyes.
When Graham discovers Carly is hiding a crushing secret, he’s prepared to risk it all. Until in one single moment, everything changes and Graham’s past threatens to collide with his future. His life is crumbling down around him, and soon no apology in the world can save him.
He should’ve known to walk away.

AUTHOR BIO
Sybil grew up in Northern California with her head in a book and her feet in the sand. She used to dream of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books about wistful summer days and first loves drew her into the world of storytelling. Her true literary love is the New Adult genre but really, any story about a love so desperately wrong and impossibly beautiful, makes her swoon.
Sybil now resides in Southern Florida and while she doesn't get to read as much as she likes, she still buries her toes in the sand. If she's not writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in her backyard, you can find her spending time with her handsomely tattooed husband, her brilliantly practical son and a mischievous miniature boxer who stole her heart.

Review By Maria York
No Apologies is an awesome read, a great book and one amazing story. A story of love, hate, loss, gain and trust. If you are looking for a book that has all types of emotion, characters that have broken past and have to learn how to trust, love and figure out that they are worthy of one another than this book is for you. Graham is a man, a rocker and owns his own shop. Carly is a good girl, a bartender and innocent. Graham has a messed up past that has caused him to hold a ton of anger inside. Carly has a past that has made her fearful of men and to make her hide behind her smile. When these two get together they push and pull each other in all different directions. Except for the fact that they can't seem to stay away from each other. Then part of Graham's past comes into his life and leaves just as quickly, but leaves something behind that changes everything. A 5+ star read, Author Sybil Bartel did an amazing job writing this story.

I absolutely loved No Apologies! It was such an amazing story. The author drew me in from the very first page and I could not put it down until I finished. I felt so many different emotions while reading this book and to me that's what makes the best books. I would definitely recommend this book to all. Such a beautiful story very well written by the author. I love a book where I can feel the author's passion and this book done that and so much more for me. Very well deserved 5 stars from me!
