I love a good Hollywood romance, and Ava Wilder does a great job with them. HOW TO FAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD, her debut, was probably one of my top reads from 2022. And now she’s back with a new one – WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY. This is the ultimate lovers to enemies to lovers,…
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post. Why? That funny little thing called life. I’m having a baby, I have a wild toddler, we moved, work has been out of control busy. All the things, all at once. You know? It recently dawned on me that it’s been 5 years since I really…
Last week, I sent a draft of my online dating WIP to some readers. This was an earlier draft, but I sent it to my most trusted writer friends to give me some (lots of) feedback because I got to the point where I wasn’t sure what to do next or if it even worked….
I am a BIG Catherine Center fan. It started a few years ago when I chose HOW TO WALK AWAY from Book of the Month. And I loved it. Then I got THINGS WE SAVE IN A FIRE. Also fabulous. And then I got WHAT YOU WISH FOR, which is also amazing. I would say…
My first read of the year was truly fantastic, and I’m taking that to be a good omen. I’m a big Kerry Winfrey fan, and I’ve been so excited to read her latest JUST ANOTHER LOVE SONG. And it definitely did not disappoint. A confession (because I like to know these things) – I sobbed…
I’m a goal setter. Always have been. And they are usually huge, lofty, somewhat unattainable goals (like “I’m going to read 300 books, write 15 new manuscripts, beta for 85 people and travel the world while working full time with a toddler). I tend to set really intense deadlines and then nearly break my neck…
What do you get when you add a home renovation show, two former child stars and a second chance romance set in a small town in Michigan? That would be BUILT TO LAST by Erin Hahn, and it is just as delightful as it sounds. Shelby Springfield and Cameron Riggs are former child stars from…
Fall is by far my favorite season, and October is my very favorite month. I really love reading seasonally appropriate books, and I’ve got a few for this month! Side note – there should be more fall books. Not witchy / Halloween books (those are great too!) but just books that feel like fall. I’m…
I love a book with a really odd hook. Something that you read the back cover copy and say WHAT? That was my exact reaction when I read about JUST LIKE MAGIC by Sarah Hogle. And I have been dying to read it ever since. I was incredible jealous when I saw all these other…
I have always been a physical book kind of girl. I thought e-readers and audiobooks were great for other people, but I just didn’t think I’d like them. But my reading habits have changed over the last couple of years, and I’m trying new things. What changed? First of all, I had a baby in…
