BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE is Now in Print!

May 11, 2016Leave a comment

Being published for Kindle has been a pretty awesome experience. But still, I have always held onto that dream of seeing my work in actual physical print.

(I know technically an ebook is in print. But you know what I mean.)

Now that dream has come true!

BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE is now available in print at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Three friends. A broken engagement. A surprise elopement. A big secret. A lot of chocolate.

*squeeeee*

This is like, the epitome of awesomesauce for me as an author.

And if you’re of the “I prefer Kindle/ebook” persuasion (because let’s face it, it’s easier to load up on books for a vacation when you don’t literally have to load up on books), and still haven’t snagged a copy of BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE yet, here’s another fun scoop of awesomesauce.

For one week, starting this Friday, May 13th, BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE will be available for $0.99 at Kindle Nation Daily and BookGorilla.

So really, there’s no good reason to NOT check it out. 🙂

On a somewhat related not and as a final announcement, thanks to everyone who entered my Rafflecopter giveaway for the May Fresh Fiction Box NOT to Miss. Congrats to Ryan Summers, the lucky winner of this great box of literary goodies.

When in Rome (Sweet Somethings #2)

Love isn't always picture perfect...

LOVE ISN’T ALWAYS PICTURE PERFECT…

Atlanta-based photographer Kate Miller doesn’t believe in fairytale romance or relationships of the forever kind. She’s determined to build her own happiness through hard work and professional success. So, when the opportunity arises to join an exclusive fashion photo shoot in Rome, she jumps on the chance to gain international recognition. But she’s not counting on an instant attraction to the charismatic, sexy, and irritatingly arrogant director of the shoot.

World famous, Domenic Varezzi is used to calling the shots. His clients trust his instincts and they’re willing to pay for the best. But while his career is thriving, his personal life has been lackluster at best. Hoping Kate could be the answer he’s been looking for, he’s determined to win her over. Every challenge she sends his way drives him to break through her tough-as-nails exterior to reach the vulnerable heart that matches his own.

Surrounded by the beauty and magic of Italy’s “Eternal City,” a foundation begins to form that could lead to a lifetime partnership, both in business and in love. Until Domenic’s past comes back to haunt the present and threatens to destroy everything.

Reviews are in for BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE

I feel like I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth lately, but in fact, I’m really just up to my eyeballs in boxes and packing material. Casa de Rowan – South is about halfway to feeling homey. Most of my free time on the weekends and evenings of late have been spent either putting things into boxes, taking things out of boxes, or trying to keep Babycakes away from the boxes.

Toddlers, FYI, are horrible assistants when one is trying to move.

But there’s still been a lot of writing going on around here. In fact, we’re only about a month or so away from another Sweet Something – so stay tuned for more info on the upcoming release of Book 2, WHEN IN ROME. In fact, if you haven’t signed up for my email newsletter yet, go do it right now so you can get the news when it breaks!

In the meantime…

For an author, nothing is quite as satisfying as discovering that people are enjoying your work. And this certainly seems to be the case with BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE!
