Happy ONE YEAR to my novella, WHEN I MET YOU. This book is my love letter to all the Glad You Exist readers who begged for a Kyle & Kim book. Because of you, I was able to make this happen. I still remember how you made GLAD YOU EXIST #1 in all the Asian American rankings when WHEN I MET YOU released last year. Thank you so much to the readers and to everyone who believed in me and these characters. Kim & Kyle will always be End Game ๐ I'm so glad YOU exist! ๐ Kaye #whenimetyoubook #gladyouexistbook #happybookbirthday #bookbirthday #bookseries #newadultromance #newadultbooks #romancebooks #romancelandia #romancereads #novella #kindleunlimitedromance #readromance #ebookstagram
New Episode: My Season of Scandal, by Julie Anne Long. Thanks to @avonbooks for the free digital copy via NetGalley!โ โ As usual, Julie Anne Long gives us the story of two perfectly-matched characters, even though they might seem mismatched on the surface. Kirke is a fiery politician; Catherine is a fresh-faced country beauty. They meet because they both happen to be staying at the Grand Palace on the Thames.โ โ JAL writes books that are simultaneously hilarious (her touch with humor is incredible) and touching. This series in particular showcases her comedic skills: the ensemble cast of secondary characters, including former couples and longterm TGPOTT lodgers, works on so many levels! What's more, the central romantic relationship is just angsty enough to please everyone who likes a fraught emotional relationship. Final note: do we love an age gap relationship? Usually not. Here it works well, but we think that if you love an age gap, you'll be pleased!โ โ Look, we loved it.โ โ 2-Word Summaries:โ โ Meg: Wall hump.โ โ Laine: Precipitous waltz.โ โ Link in bio to find the episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.โ โ โ #JulieAnneLong #PalaceOfRogues #MySeasonOfScandal #HistoricalRomanceโ
Nobody is more surprised than I am that I loved this book. Iโve only read one other Emily Henry book and I always have to look up which one it was because it was so forgettable (Beach Read). But this one WORKED for me. Fake dating your ex fiancรฉs new fiancรฉs ex boyfriend is the perfect set up for the insecurity feelings like I crave. And narcissistic parents with the wounds they leave behind was ๐ค I also laughed out loud at the banter.

I wish I could say that quote is totally full of it. My life was good. I had a wonderful family, a loving mother and father. And then that life was ripped from me. With my father gone, my mother remarried. Then I was accepted into an Architecture Program at Groveton College. And we started a new life. Everything was going well again. Until it wasnโt. My new stepbrother Xayden and his best friends, Dekker and Seven, are hotter than the sun. But they are also complete pains in the you know where. From the moment we met, theyโve hated me. Oh, and they even have their little sorority pets to help in making my life a ton of fun. And by fun, I mean completely and utterly miserable. And just when I think it canโt get any worse, I end up being the target of a mysterious someone who is hell-bent on torturing me. Life isnโt good. Nothing about this existence is good. I wish someone would have told twelve-year-old me not to get too comfortable with what she had. That life will never ever be great again. And that itโs only a matter of time before my world is completely shattered.

Who needs men when you can marry the demon? Always marry the demon ๐ My name is Buffy Martinez and Iโve spent my entire life training to be a wife, but when a cult is the one leading me down the aisle there is no happily-ever-after waiting for me and I end up a virgin that canโt drive because my family totally sold me out to be a virgin sacrifice. Jokes on everyone who thought they could lie to me because the god they tried to sacrifice me to just claimed me as his bride. WRATH-not a god but a demon, and my devoted husband all the same. Lucky me, heโs made it clear the only thing he cares to do is be a good husband, and what better way to prove his devotion than helping me teach an entire cult exactly what revenge looks like because there is no WRATH like a woman scorned. #bookstagram #romancelandia #demonromance #demonromancebooks #rebelcarter #morallygreymen #morallygreybookboyfriend #cozyparanormalromance #cozydarkromance #darkromantasy #romancebooks

q: do you believe in the paranormal? @sarahadlerwrites has such a gift for quirky rom-coms that also find unexpected ways of gently touching on the heavy stuff in life, like grief, death, and missed chances. in HAPPY MEDIUM, we fall in love with gretchen, a fake spirit medium who lives by a code of leaving people better than she met them, and charlie, the grumpy and skeptical farmer whose true-believer bridge partner hires gretchen to exorcise his haunted farm. said ghost - who only gretchen has been able to see in nearly a century - reveals the existence of a curse (and a tv addiction) and promptly throws both gretchen and charlieโs plans into disarray. itโs a charming and goofy read, but it also hits some very deep and thoughtful moments. to me, thatโs the secret of a great rom-com: to balance the silly moments and the sweet with the bitter and difficult moments that make it feel true to life. (and yes, i do believe in ghosts! ๐ป) thanks @berkleyromance for this lovely and moving romance ๐ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #book #booklover #booklove #bookish #bookishlove #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookphotography #bookpicture #booksofinsta #romancelandia #romancebooks #romancebookstagram #romancebook #romancebookstagrammer #romancebooksofinstagram #romancelandia #romancenovels #romancenovel #romancereader #romancereads #romancereaders #romancereadersofinstagram #scenesfrommyshelves

I get a high from buying new books - I feel decadent and excited to dive into the new stories. I can imagine myself reading on sunlit beaches or in my garden with a drink of some kind. But the cold hard reality, when starting a new book, is I need to be rested and awake. It's hard meeting new characters and learning to care about them. Surely I'm not alone in this! #bookstagram #romancelandia #bookishlove #bookishpost #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

New on @Netgalley from @authorivydawes. Check it out! ๐ ๐ ๐ https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/362328 #NetGalley
๐ Mini Monday ๐ Laura here with the last mini of April! This book has been on my TBR for a while, and Iโm so annoyed I waited as long as I did to read it. It absolutely lives up to the hype! HD Carlton is literally the Queen of Dark Romance so I highly recommend reading her books if youโre in the mood for something dark, suspenseful, and a little (a lot) twisted. ๐ฆ What are you looking forward to this week?
Itโs here! Itโs here! I am doing a little Snoopy dance to see this in my Audible library? Why, you ask? Because itโs Stefanie Kay and Zachary Webber! Small town romance, country music star, banterโฆ oh yeah!๏ฟฝ โLove. Sucks. I donโt know where I went wrong. Whether it was letting a man convince me that suddenly, the things Iโve never wanted are right for me, or if simply believing the best in the person who I wasted three years of my life on was what lead me here. To Cherry Peak. A small town nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada. The hometown of rising country star, Brody Steele. It only takes one brief encounter to mark him as a broody jerk. An all-knowing, arrogant celebrity with a complex I donโt have the energy for. But if I truly dislike him the way Iโve convinced myself I do, then why am I always looking for him in crowded rooms? Why are his surprisingly thoughtful gestures melting the wall of ice Iโve stuck between us? Cherry Peak was supposed to be my fresh start, a place to heal and rebuild. Yet, just as I begin piecing my life back together, Brodyโs preparing to leave, as if he hasnโt become a vital part of that journey. The thought of losing him keeps me up at night. I donโt know if weโll ever be able to find our footing, or if we were just stringing each other along the whole time.โ #romancereader #ireadromance #bookrecommendations #romancereadersofinstagram #bookstagram #romancestagram #readersofig #bookstagram #romancelandia #spicybooks #booklover #bookreviewer #bookworm #theaccidentalromanceblogger #spicyaudiobooks #ireadwithmyears #narratorsaremyrockstars #audiobooklover ๐๐ง
Chronic mood readers, unite! The last few weeks I have *struggled* to figure out what the heck I want to read. Normally Iโm juggling 2-3 books at a time but nothing has grabbed my attention long enough lately to feel fully invested and Iโm dying for a book to really hook me. If youโre in the same spot, maybe this will help! Normally I am not a fan of blind date with a book (hello, anxiety!) but these ones are top tier choices, in my opinion!

#MondayMusings I love hidden staircases and secret tunnels and rooms. They play a big part in TREASURED, the first book in my Secrets of the Loch seriesโฆ and $1.99 at the moment. I really enjoy it when I can develop an on-going mystery through a series, with each book a stand-alone with its own resolution that also reveals clues leading to solving the over-arching mystery, as I did in the Secrets of the Loch series. #QOTD: Would you be brave enough to explore this tunnel?

A happy #mugshotmonday to you, friends โ๏ธ Whatโs the best steamy read or watch youโve encountered lately? And while weโre at it, how do you define steamy? So curious! {Not my pic} #romancereader #romanceauthor #bookboyfriend #steamyreads #steamyromance #romancelover #romancelandia #readromance #indieromance
I started this pretend romance to save face, not to lose my heart. Iโm indoorsy with a capital I, but I need to fake a little outdoorsiness to get a promotion. A five-day hike sounds like my nightmare, but after upending my life and moving from the city back to my small hometown, I need a win. I didnโt expect to find someone like Grant Irwin in the wilderness with me. A cinnamon roll in mountain man form, heโs freakishly competent out here, and endlessly patient with my missteps. But after everything with my critical ex-fiancรฉ fell apart, Iโm not looking for love. Especially not with someone whoโs only here on vacation. So when we get back to town and run into my ex, why do I pull Grant in as my fake boyfriend? And why does he go right along with my play-acting? Heโs been burned by love as badly as I have, but he looks at me like Iโm the only thing he sees. I just canโt tell if his heart eyes are real or for show. Itโs all supposed to be fake. But falling for Grant? Nothing could be more natural.โจโจJust Act Natural is an opposites attract, fake dating rom-com with sizzling kisses but no spice. The Love in Sunshine books can be enjoyed in any order. #coverreveal #illustratedcovers #oppositesattract #fakedating #cinnamonrollhero #mountainmanhero #bookboyfriend #fictionalmen #closeddoorromcom #sweetromcom #closeddoorromance #nospiceromance #romcombooksaremyweakness #romcomvibes #romcombooks #slowburn #romancelandia #romancebookworm #loveinsunshine

PUB DAY! I am so passionate about authentic autism representation and worked hand in hand with an autism mom, advocate, and author on this sweet story. From the moment free-spiritedย cafe server Holland Mulberryย unexpectedly becomesย the legal guardian of her autistic nephew, Riley, her life takes an unexpected turn.ย Five years later, Holland and Riley thrive,ย supported byย her best friend andย Rileyโsย therapist.ย Armed with a plethora of sub-par dad jokes and enough sunshine to offset the brutal Minnesota winters, Holland puts her dreams of selling jewelry in Maui on hold and commits to maintaining Rileyโs iron-clad routine in place for his well-being.ย But when aย new,ย grumpy-but-cuteย chefย arrives, everything changes. ย Type-A Shane Blackwood never expected at twenty-six to be standing over a searing grill at his uncleโs cafรฉ. But after he quits law school, breaks up with his fiancรฉe, and shatters his parentsโ dreams, he focuses only on his passion for art and obsession with color-coding garnish.ย With a one-year deadline to open a gallery, he is determinedย to prove to himself and his family that art,ย not law,ย is his true calling.ย There can be zero distractionsโespecially not the adorable server Holland. ย Asย Holland and Shaneโs feelings deepen over caffeine-laced chocolate shakes and festival cheese curds,ย their lives are thrown into chaos when Hollandโs sister unexpectedly reappears,ย demanding custody of Riley. Hollandย is facedย with a heart-wrenching choice: shatter Rileyโs stability by allowing her reckless sister back into his life or fight her in a bitter court battle.ย Meanwhile,ย Shaneย is tornย betweenย revisiting hisย painfulย past to help Holland orย staying focusedย on his artย galleryโsย future. Both must decide if they can survive the boilerplate temperature their relationship rests upon. #autismawareness #autism #asd #romancebooks #bookstagram #romancelandia #sweetbooks #romcom #representationmatters #booksrecommendation #romancebookstagram

Nate Ellis is the polar opposite: he's a ๐๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด bestselling novelist whoโs hiding out in an MFA program on Block Island trying to overcome a bad case of writerโs block. In his humble opinion, Cecily is the most talented writer there, and he admires her optimism and energy. When an unguarded karaoke moment between Cecily and Nate threatens to get them both kicked out of the MFA program, theyโll stop at nothing to protect their professional success- even if that means getting married. But in order to make it believable, theyโll have to trick everyone- even themselves- into believing theyโre madly in love.

@lynnrhysauthor is next up in the Groveton College Series book in just one week! Shattered releases May 6, 2024 Have you pre-ordered it yet? https://books2read.com/shattered-groveton Added to your TBR? https://bit.ly/tbrShattered BLURB You know that saying, โIf itโs too good to be true, it probably isโ? I wish I could say that quote is totally full of it. My life was good. I had a wonderful family, a loving mother and father. And then that life was ripped from me. With my father gone, my mother remarried. Then I was accepted into an Architecture Program at Groveton College. And we started a new life. Everything was going well again. Until it wasnโt. My new stepbrother Xayden and his best friends, Dekker and Seven, are hotter than the sun. But they are also complete pains in the you know where. From the moment we met, theyโve hated me. Oh, and they even have their little sorority pets to help in making my life a ton of fun. And by fun, I mean completely and utterly miserable. And just when I think it canโt get any worse, I end up being the target of a mysterious someone who is hell-bent on torturing me. Life isnโt good. Nothing about this existence is good. I wish someone would have told twelve-year-old me not to get too comfortable with what she had. That life will never ever be great again. And that itโs only a matter of time before my world is completely shattered.

thank you @berkleyromance & @prhaudio for the free book and audiobook! #berkleypartner #prhaudiopartner #berkleyig #penguinrandomhousepartner Effie Olsen's Summer Special by Rochelle Bilow Pub day is 4/30 ๐ Effie, a professional chef, comes back to her hometown for the summer after sixteen years of globe-trotting, cooking, and being anywhere except stuck in the small town she grew up in. Her childhood best friend, Ernie, is still there and currently working in the same restaurant that Effie was hired at for the summer. Forced proximity!! In a hot kitchen!! ๐ฅ โข I didn't expect to love the chef/kitchen aspect of this story so much--but it was excellent!! I loved the behind the scenes kitchen drama, interactions, and where the restaurant plot went in this story. ๐ โข Stop it right now with these names!! Effie and Ernie! (Euphemia and Ernest! I love that they talk about their geeky, old folk names in this, too.) I am quite biased over the cuteness and importance of these names...because my youngest is named Effie!! ๐ โข For second chance romance lovers! I like that their initial "chance" was more friendship than romance and the characters have clearly grown up a lot since high-school! โข He's sweet and she's a little saltier! He always chooses Truth and she always chooses Dare! Definitely some opposites attract here. โข Charming, small town without being too over the top with it. ๐ง Lovely narration! Very glad I listened to this one! This was my second Rochelle Bilow book (totally recommend Ruby Spencer's Whisky Year as well!) and I'm excited to see what she writes next! . . Happy Monday!

Q: What are you starting off the week reading? Iโm starting off the week reading a rivals to lovers, fake dating trope e-arc that takes place on a Hawaiian vacation ๐บ ๐ ๐บ Book Description โฌ๏ธ ๐บ The Design of Us by Sajni Patel (pub date 7/16) One impulsive lie leads to a weeklong adventure of fake dating for two bickering coworkers in this swoony destination wedding rom-com by Sajni Patel, author of The Trouble with Hating You . Sunshine incarnate Bhanu brings big UX energy to whatever she does, including going for the promotion where her only serious competition is her work nemesis, AKA Sunny, the grump with the Denzel voice. She expected to get a reprieve from him while visiting her family in Hawaiโi, but the universe has other plans. When Bhanu runs into Sunny at the hotel and witnesses his ex criticizing him about being single, Bhanu does the first thing that comes to she impetuously claims to be Sunnyโs girlfriend just to get some peace and quiet. Except Sunny is on island for a friendโs wedding and his ex has already texted the entire wedding party about this mysterious girlfriend. Bhanu truly is the bane of Sunnyโs existence. But the last thing he wants to do is cause tension during his friendโs wedding festivities, much less be the object of their pity. He has no choice except to play along, if only he and Bhanu can put aside their quarreling and act like a real couple. Between Bhanuโs hilariously meddling family and Sunnyโs ecstatic friends, the two are pushed closer together, even as stress mounts over the impending promotion. They say what happens on island, stays on island. But as Sunny and Bhanu let their guards down, will either of them be able to resist this romantic getaway without crossing the line?
In the spirit of some recent sizable music drops (I'm a Cowboy Carter sun with an Eternal Sunshine rising, for what it's worth)... Singles vs. deep cuts! This is in no way a critique of ANY books--I am a fan of many singles and many deep cuts. I'm just having fun with it. I often think about what kind of books I'd recommend to someone just trying some of my favorite authors... Books that are among the most popular (and therefore easily accessible, with lots of fans to discuss them with) and books that kind of sum up the author's overarching vibe. That's what I based the "singles" on. Deep cuts are a little different. In some cases, I went with books I found underrated in comparison with the rest of the author's work, books that stand out and show a different dimension of the author, and books with plotlines that might be a little zanier, a little more "read this after you've read some more conventional books first, maybe". Or even just books that came out earlier in the author's career, before they really made a name for themself and set expectations. Anyway, it's just a thing.

Spending a fortune on props, hyped up, or trending books that weren't even authors I read all in the hopes of being "good enough" or better, only to get one or two likes. Spending HOURS taking pictures trying to get them right. I started only looking at follow counts (๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด), like counts, reel views & what had started out as my beautiful escape, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ being fun. โ ๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ.โ โ So after some thought, I had two options. . .

You know the drill... See you on the flip side! Who needs sleep anyway? ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ *Arriving Monday, May 6* Captain Hook isnโt loyal to anyone, but Iโd die for her. Once I was a prince, then I became a lost boy, then their king. Now, Iโm nothing more than a heartless villain. Or at least so I thought. Until I met her. Until I had a reason for that husk in my chest to resume its beating. I know Iโm not alone. Sheโs worked her magic on all of us. Her monstrous beast Her vengeful dragon Her merciless god And of course me, her mad pirate Iโve been trapped far from home, without my crew, without my ship. A captain with no purpose. But Dahlia is my port in the storm. She calls me to her and grounds me. Unfortunately, itโs not enough. With every passing tick, tick, tick, my madness grows. How can I protect her when I can barely remember who I am? Something dark is coming for us all. Itโs been hiding in the shadows, but now itโs time to play in the light. And even without a compass to guide me, Iโll fight for her until the bitter end. For fans of Supernatural and American Horror Story, USA Today bestselling authors Meg Anne and K. Loraine are thrilled to bring you another installment in the Mate Games Universe. Warning: The Mate Games: Death is a spicy paranormal series with a cast of antiheroes utterly devoted to their heroine (even if they havenโt realized it yet). It contains a cursed Novasgardian berserker with primal energy, a dastardly pirate captain who deals in pixie dust, a possessive fae dragon shifter who is fond of hand necklaces, and a mysterious Southern gentleman whoโd show her what he liked if only he could remember.

#StepbackSaturdayReveal! Pale Moon Rider, by Marsha Canham. โ โ I have been #bookfluenced by @meggatzabookclub ... to at least pick up and look at Marsha Canham's books! Honestly, these stepbacks are absolutely gorgeous, even if I'm a little nervous to actually read one of these angst-fests. โ โ Have you read any Canham?โ โ Synopsis:โ โ He lived by night--the dark, dangerous highwayman who stole her heart....โ โ "It was a fine night for treachery, dark with a pale moon rising...."โ โ Like a wraith he appeared in the Coventry night, the notorious highwayman called Captain Starlight. Renรฉe d'Anton watched, breathless, as the cloaked figure commanded, "Stand and deliver!" and her coach shuddered to a halt. Little did he know Renรฉe had come in desperation to meet him. For the dark, seductive highwayman was her only hope in a perilous game of chance....โ โ She was pure temptation, challenging Tyrone Hart to steal a set of heirloom rubies and name his price. He couldn't resist her. So he agreed to risk his life for the fiery beauty--to recover the jewels that would free her from an arranged marriage and an unspeakable threat. But first Renรฉe had to win his trust--even as she ignited passions that seduced him out of the shadows to sweep her into his arms....โ โ #MarshaCanham #HistoricalRomance #PaleMoonRider
โจ Stepback Saturday Reveal โจ A late #StepbackSaturday reveal as I just got back from a very quick trip to Virginia for the #SpillTheTea event and had a blast! It was so great to be surrounded by so many romance readers and authors and see so many bookish friends there! Yesterdayโs gorgeous stepback was from BY DESIGN by Madeline Hunter. I sadly left this behind as Iโm seriously out of shelf space and am trying to be ~selective~ with the books I take home (but also failing miserably at that ๐) If youโve read this, let me know what you think of it! Hereโs the blurb: ๐ฉโ๐จ BY DESIGN ๐ฉโ๐จ The moment Rhys saw the stunning young woman selling her exquisitely crafted pottery in the marketplace, he was captivated. But the wealthy freemason would never have guessed that just a few days later, a misunderstanding would land Joan in the town stocks and he would become her unlikely savior. After the grueling ordeal, Rhys tenderly cares for Joanโs bruised bodyโand her bruised pride. Yet he longs to do much more ... to satisfy the fire that sparks between the pair the moment they are alone. Rhys could not have known that Joan once enjoyed a more privileged life. Sheโd had no choice but to become an indentured servant, but she is determined to avenge the crimes that ruined her family and destroyed her world. When Rhys meets with her employer to buy potteryโand buys her instead โJoan is furious. She vows to resist falling under the spell of the handsome, imposing Rhys. But she finds that her resolve quickly softens when tempted by Rhysโs powerful charmsโand she can only hope to find a way to avoid surrendering to her potent desire...

๐REVIEW๐ ๐Should I read in order? I think overall this series would be better in order as thereโs some character cross over and events referenced, but overall this one does focus mostly on the main couple so rebel readers will probably be fine. ๐Basic plot: Sophia finds herself in a total muddle when she realizes she doesnโt love her betrothed, but his cousin instead... ๐Give this a try if you want: - Regency (?) - forbidden love/taboo vibes โ heroine is engaged to heroโs cousin - affair - captain hero - pets โ heroine has a dog - LGBT positive - low to mid steam โ 2 full scenes ๐Ages: - heroine is 20, didnโt catch hero ๐First line: Sophia tugged at the leading string to draw Peaches closer to the hem of her dress. ๐My thoughts: I think I said the first book of this series put me on a roller coaster and I had a variety of feelings about it โ I feel similarly about this book! I think I liked it a bit more than book, but itโs still such a unique story and a bit crazy. I donโt mind the โadulteryโ aspect here, but I think the plot points and separations of the mains dwindled my enjoyment a bit. This couple had so much working against them and I was on my toes the whole time and was left wanting to just have the time to get to know the mains well and enjoy some longing between them. I cannot help but think that this series would make absolutely amazing TV. I did really love both main characters! I think I wouldnโt reread this one, but again another really memorable book unlike anything else Iโve read in HR.
๐ถI cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art. You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.๐ถ I had so much planned this year but due to some recent life changes I've had to cut down on my book releases this year. Please watch out for an announcement on the next book after FWY in September. ๐ซถ๐ผ Thank you for supporting me for the last 3 years and I promise that I still have so many amazing surprises & announcements in the coming months! I'm glad YOU exist! ๐ Kaye #bookstagram #bookishlove #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #icandoitwithabrokenheart #indieauthor #romanceauthor #indieapril #romancebooks #romancebookstagram #readromance #romancelandia #romancereader #readmorebooks
Did yโall know itโs a dream of mine to illustrate a romance novel cover? Iโve been reading romance since I was 12 and Iโve had that secret little dream all this time. Well no more secret dreams! I have decided to illustrate a cover for some of my favorite romances, and the most recent is In A Jam by @katecanterbary I have reread this book three times since it came out and it just always delivers the best feelings. What do you think? Have you read In A Jam? Did I capture Noah and Shay? What do you think of this #fanart ? #Characterillustration #Characterart #Romance #Romancenovel #bookstagram #Illustration #coverart #Coverilllustration #romancelandia #bookcover
Nothing new, just editing ๐ Admittedly the editing process is a mundane one and itโs even harder to try to promote youโre book while doing so! ๐ฉ So hereโs a little reminder that #Havenwood, my comfy small town debut novel is coming this summer!
