A little photo dump from a weekend that felt like a really big win.

Author life can be incredibly isolating, and there are a lot of days where it feels like the failures are louder than the good moments, so getting to have a day like this meant more to me than I can really explain.

The readers were amazing, the energy was so positive, and I left feeling incredibly grateful, proud, and reminded why I keep doing this.

Huge thank you to the entire @thewellreddamsel team for all the work that went into making this event so special.

Biggest thank you to my friend & my proofreader & assistant @celsharpenspages for coming with me!

And to everyone who stopped by my table, bought a book, chatted with me, took a photo, or just came over to say hi, thank you. Truly.

💕an unrivaled experience💕

Thank you so much @loveunderlined and @getunderlined for inviting me to this incredible influencer event in Chicago!! I had an absolute blast celebrating one of my FAVES, the one and only @kristylboyce and her new release Rolls & Rivalry!!
💕
We ate, we drank, we gamed, and we met so many new bookish friends who love reading romance! I’m glad I could talk to so many Midwestern readers (and bombard them with friendship bracelets LMAO). And of course, nothing beat celebrating Kristy and seeing so much love for her latest D&D romance novel 🥰
💕
Stay tuned for more sneak peeks at this event 👀 and tell me where you would love to see an influencer event hosted below!

I don’t care I’ll say it every time. Kandi has done it again, she literally never misses. One thing that Kandi doesn’t do often is Standalones and when she does, they just hit so hard. This book has become my second favorite of Kandi’s she is the angst QUEEN. Idk what kind of angst can compare to ALLTW but this angst hit in such a different way. I’m typically a second chance hater (it’s growing on me give me a break) but I absolutely LOVED Ember and Finn. This one was a new setting for me: yachting… and although I’ve never seen an episode of below deck, it made me want to watch immediately.

This audio was top TIER. To the production interviews in the beginning, to all the hot accents, and the chiming when it went into a ~memory~ just made this an all around perfect audio for me. It’s giving full cast production just like the favorites! I’m so happy I got to spend release eve with Kandi and Lena at the last chapter bookstore. It’s always special getting to meet your favorite author ever. Forever blessed to be on this ARC team 😭🖤

What to expect:
~below deck vibes / yacht setting
~ second chance
~ chef MMC x Chief stew FMC
~angst
~it’s always been you
~ forced proximity

HAPPY LOVE OVERBOARD DAY!!

i went down to @thelastchapterchi last night to see @kandisteiner in conversation with @authorlenahendrix about Kandi’s first trad published book!

it was so nice to see some friends i haven’t seen in awhile!! ❤️❤️❤️

•••••••••••

Love Overboard by Kandi Steiner is a contemporary romance novel about Ember Reed, a chief stew on a Mediterranean superyacht, who is forced to confront her past when her ex, Finn Pearson, joins the crew as the chef for a new reality TV show, Close Quarters. The book features tropes like second-chance romance, forced proximity, and reality TV drama, exploring the angsty, high-stakes tension as they navigate their unresolved feelings while cameras capture their every move. It’s known for its emotional depth, “Below Deck” vibes, and the “Queen of Angst” author’s signature style.

💙 AMY AWARD SIGNING! 💙

OH MAN LAST NIGHT WAS A BLAST!
Getting to moderate a Q and A at @thelastchapterchi with one of my favorite authors @amyawardbooks is like a fever dream I never want to wake up from.
We had a great time! We laughed a lot and maybe even cried a little, but the discussion was meaningful, powerful, and a balm for the soul.

Thank you to @allaboutthatromance and TLC for this amazing opportunity.
Thank you to @amyawardbooks for letting me be a part of this event with you.
Thank you to my amazing friends and cheering squad who have been nothing short of the best hype squad a girl could ask for.
And a special thank you to @mkbruski for sharing in my joy and triumph and always loving and supporting me. It meant the most that you came and shared this day with me. 🥰

Happy Monday! ✨

Even though I’ve finally gotten to sleep in, I’m really tired! Over the weekend, Joe and I carried two 5-drawer dressers from our neighbor’s house to ours. I’ve also been trying to start planning the boys’ birthday parties next month (we have three birthdays in July and my in-laws are visiting right in the middle so ya girl is going to be busy... and stressed. 🫠).

I found some time to sneak away to my town’s local second-hand shop. I didn’t find what I was hoping to find, BUT I did walk away with four books that have been on my TBR list! And since the books were all 50% off I sort of had to bring them home with me. No idea when I’ll actually get around to reading them, though. 😅

🔽 Tell me about your weekend using emojis! Here’s mine: 🍷🔥🔨🛍️🌱🏠📖😴
