Celebrity Crush

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Keeping the newsletter super brief today so we can get to the good stuff

1) The One That I Want - Celebrity Crush Edition! Join me TODAY and TOMORROW for the 5th Annual Fall Into A Book reader/author event in the Isn't it Romantic Book Club on Facebook. Lots of great giveaways! Here's my post where I share a few of my celebrity crushes over the years and invite you to share yours too!
2) Just in time for the weekend: Searching for your next sizzling hot happily after??? Look no further! Ravenous Romance Reads's collection of steamy contemporary romance is here! (Includes my forthcoming anthology, Winter Wishes and Holiday Kisses).
3) Poll results -- Looks like we have an even split between Team Deadpool and Team Wolverine. Seems fitting for these rivals turned pals to be co-winners. Who doesn't like a good Enemies to Lovers trope? (Side note: we got one random vote for Team Cowboypool.*)
4) A little book news: I've submitted "The One That I Miss" to the Light My Fire anthology coordinators and (after I finish formatting) I'll send "The One That I Need" to the Winter Wishes and Holiday Kisses peeps this weekend. Both anthologies are up for pre-order now. These two stories plus "The One That I See" in Craving My Roommate feature David and Celia Mack and can be read individually or as a series of snapshots of their lives as they go from wanting to having a baby over the course of a year.
Not gonna lie, this couple has been an unexpected gift. I've loved getting to know what makes them tick and I hope you enjoy reading their trials and triumphs as much as I enjoyed writing them. l

Ciao for now,

Greetings! It’s been a minute—how was your summer? Mine swung between “go-go-go” and “fleece blanket hibernation + inbox avoidance.” Through it all, I valiantly managed to devour plenty of book treats including: Christina Lauren’s The Soulmate Equation, Ilona Andrews’ The Inheritance, Artificial Mischief by James H. Thrall (why yes, he *is* my dad!), Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Simply the Best, and more. The book fairies were very generous! 🧚🏻♀️📚✨ 🎉 Big News: Meet Camuel! Remember Keira’s...

The One That I Tease in Finding Forever - Out now!

Mission: A One Night Bang With Her Secret Celebrity Crush

Release Day! It's T-minus 5 days before I jump on a big jet airliner and take off for a week hiking in Cinque Terre, Italy and I'm racing around trying to make sure I pack enough socks and the right power converter thingy. So naturally this is the BEST TIME to release a new book. Oh, but what a book it is! Finding Forever: A Limited Edition Wedding Romance Collection has it all. Slow burn. Forced Proximity. Second Chances. This anthology includes 12 steamy stories where the hero and heroine...

Stories, Stories Everywhere

March Reset The last few months have been a year, so last week I took time off from the daily grind to rest and renew, thinking I’d sneak in at least *some* writing time in between staring off into space and playing games on my phone. Nope! No, apparently, my brain really needed to go offline so… I let it. Now I’m playing catch up—but since it’s been a while since I checked in with y’all, sending a little howdy your way happily rose to the top of my to-do list. Fun! Speaking of brains, right...
