Here are a few quick details:
Standalone or Part of a Series: Loss and Damages is a standalone billionaire romance with a happily ever after. It’s a complete novel at around 350 printed pages.

Triggers: None that I know of. Dominic deals with some family drama/trauma, and Jemma gets roughed up while trying to stop a break-in, but nothing graphic or prolonged.

Where to Review: Amazon and Goodreads are best, since Loss and Damages will be in Kindle Unlimited. If you want to share on social media too (Instagram or Facebook), that’s awesome but not required.

What to Say: Whatever you want! If you loved it, say so. If it wasn’t your thing, that’s okay too. I really don’t mind. Honest reviews help future readers find books they’ll love.

Thank you all for picking up a copy and giving it a read. I hope Loss and Damages is a lovely part of your summer relaxation!


Bonus reminder:
If you’ve read my King’s Crossing serial and haven’t left a review yet, now’s a great time. Even a few quick lines for one or two books will help other readers find it.

One last thing: We got a new cat named Pim! My son’s friend moved out of state and couldn’t bring her along, so we made the arrangements with our property management and adopted her! She’s adorable and loves being carried around on your shoulder. It’s been really nice to have a cat around again. 🐾

I hope everyone is doing well and that your summer so far has been full of friends, family, and good reads.

Fridays and Freebies: A Little Bookish Boost

Now that I have your attention, I just wanted to pop on here quick to tell you a couple things before your weekend starts! I don’t have big plans… I work Saturdays and Sundays so I can have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays off. I think it’s a fair trade since no one likes getting up on a Monday morning and having to go to work. I’m lucky I work at a job that allows me to do that, and I have never taken it for granted.

Tonight I’ll be be editing Loss and Damages (oh, the glamorous life of a writer… but at least I’ll be in my pajamas and I have ice cream!) and going to bed early. Breathing just wipes me out, but there’s nothing better than working on my book for a couple hours in silence before going to bed.


My friend Melody is looking for ARC readers for her storm-chasing novel aptly titled, Into the Storm. It’s the fourth book in her Storm Series, but it can absolutely be read as a standalone. Here’s the blurb:

He chases tornadoes, but he only wanted to catch her…

Storm chaser Austin Jones loves an adrenaline rush. With his YouTube channel gaining popularity and an opportunity to chase tornadoes on television, he’s living the dream. When a close encounter with a twister sends him to the hospital, the last person he expects to stitch him up is his high school sweetheart. Seeing her again feels like fate.

The storm that shattered Lizzie James’s life may be long gone, but the damage was never repaired. After a tornado tore through her hometown—taking her parents and destroying everything—she swore she’d never go back. Haunted by nightmares and burdened by anxiety, she’s done her best to forget that day. But when her former boyfriend ends up in her ER, the memories she buried come rushing back.

Despite every instinct telling her to stay away, Lizzie finds herself back in Texas—where Austin is eager to remind her of what they once had. But his reckless devotion to storm chasing is a risk she cannot ignore. Determined to control the situation—and maybe protect Austin from himself—Lizzie makes a bold choice. She’ll face her fears, literally, and join Austin for the chase. If she can’t stop him from risking his life, at least she can help keep him safe.

As another violent tornado threatens the region, Lizzie has a sinking feeling that Austin is about to make a dangerous call. This time, the real storm is the one inside Austin—torn between chasing the next tornado and holding on to the woman he loves. Because some storms you chase…and others you have to weather together to find out what really matters.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, here’s the Google form to be on her ARC team:
