Emotional, raw, and beautiful
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m feeling all of the emotions right now. This book made me cry several times, but for several chapters I also just had this smile stuck on my face because I could literally feel the love. I’ve gasped, grieved, had a couple wtf moments but in the end, this book now holds my heart and will live rent free in my head for a long time.

I am distraught
For a debut book this story is absolutely beyond anything I have read previously. The characters are alive on the page, the trauma, their journeys, are all hard hitting. An absolutely amazing read, the authors story telling ability, along with the depth of the emotion portrayed by the characters is just phenomenal.

Captured from page 1
Oh my god I really enjoyed this book the dedication caught my attention and I was sucked in from page one all the way to the end. I loved how well written this story was and how relatable the characters were. I love how easy it was to picture them in my mind. Can’t wait to read more from this amazing author.

Reading Order
My hopes with being a new indie author, is that I find my tribe of readers. The loyal ones who flood my DMs with theories of who's getting the next book or who's getting paired with who. With me only having two books published, I know it's tempting for a reader to pick up my newest release. But this series, specifically the first two books are heavily, and I mean heavily, interconnected.
Where to start:
The Night We Met is book 1, which follows Kamryn, Mason, and Liam. While this is not a love triangle, Kamryn does date and fall in love with both of the men. I know most readers have their own definition for what a love triangle is. But in this instance, neither Mason nor Liam fight for Kamryn when she's with either of them. But, how? The relationships between Kamryn and Mason then Kamryn and Liam happen at different times in her life.
Once The Night We Met ends, I paved the way for book 2. In book 1 we saw how a specific event was the sort of catalyst for both Kamryn and Emily. Of the two books, I feel Make It Without You is my highest tearjerker. Let's ignore that I've only released two books that made me cry while writing them and my readers cry while reading. Book 2 was definitely an "all gas, no breaks" in terms of the emotions.
Book 2 is Emily's book. When I wrote book 1 and her book, I made sure not to show too much of other couples as I want their books to focus on them. So going into this, Emily's story needed to be front and center. This book follows, James, Emily, and Adam. If you know how book 1 played out, you'll also know that this is so far from a love triangle. I've been asked countless times if I regret writing that scene. You know the one. And I teeter on the 'yes' and 'no' when someone asks me. As much as I hate to say it, I feel the characters were better off for that writing choice.
Both of these books do end in well-deserved HEAs. I know a lot of readers have that question.
Trigger warnings
My books have trigger warnings. Book 2 also has a 'Disclaimer' that it should be read second to avoid spoilers that happen in book 1. Some readers have ignored that warning and then come to regret it when they get to that big scene.
Book 1 trigger warnings: explicit spice, homphobic minor character, character deaths, mental health rep.
Book 2 trigger warnings: explicit spice, death of characters, cancer, grief, parental abandonment/neglect.
If I did miss any, it was not my attention.

I first marketed this as a friends with benefits romance. And they do have the benefit of knowing each other for so long and then crossing that friendship line.
make it without you tropes
- friends to lovers
- boy next door
- single dad
- age gap
- teacher/student's dad
- cinnamon roll MMC
- he falls first
I know readers love a single dad book. But I'm begging you to not start with this book. To save both of us from the OMG-factor, start with book 1. I do have a disclaimer in the of this book and if you choose to ignore that, that's your perogative.
