Reader Question… Solved! The series about the brothers, and the brother in book #2 is named Brian and is a tattoo artist…

By Leave a Comment

Kelli’s reader question has already been solved, but I had to post it anyway, ’cause we went CRAZY for this series (back in my early indie romance days).

HOLY MOLY Brian (from book #2) was the love of my book life. This book was intense, and heartache-y and angsty and so romantically exciting. Butterflies in my belly? This one did just that!

She asked:

Kelli: I’m trying to remember the name and author of a book series.

The first one has a man and woman who’re friends and their spouses are having an affair. They go on his would be honeymoon and end up together. read more

Book Review – Beautifully Cruel by J.T. Geissinger

By 4 Comments

Beautifully Cruel was so often recommended to me because everyone knows my “type” and Liam was 100% IT. No nonsense. A leader. Hard to get. The ultimate bad-ass. I was told it had all of the romantic pining qualities of my past indie favorites, and that I would swoon over this unflinching Hero. Liam.

But that beard. That cover… kept killing it for me. The “hairy face” was just too much and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to develop my crush on this much-loved book boyfriend. read more

By Leave a Comment

Lie (The Covington Heights Crew Book 3) IS LIVE and the author is celebrating her release with Fun Facts about the book, and she’s today’s newsletter sponsor. :

Fun facts about LIE:

2.) I watched quite a few press briefings to get the right “spin” for Samantha.

3.) Finding ways to break Anton was too much fun. Poor guy. The scene with him and Leo at the gym was originally much harsher but my critique partners thought it was too mean so I calmed it down a bit. read more
