I’m very excited to share a new series that has three of my very favorite things: coffee, mountains, and romance! The Coffee Loft Series Mountain Brew Collection is coming in January, but all of these lovelies are available for preorder now 💙

☕🗻🪓 COVER REVEAL ☕🗻🪓

The Coffee Loft Series is back with another collection of cozy, stand-alone sweet romcoms—this time served with an extra shot of rugged charm!

About the Mountain Brew Collection:

Wrap yourself in flannel, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and settle in with a new brew. Mountain Brew is bold and smooth, just like the men who drink it. These bearded mountain men may look rough around the edges, but one taste, and they’re irresistibrew! Get ready to fall for flawed but lovable heroes, laugh-out-loud dating disasters, mixed signals, surprising twists, and heart-stopping grand gestures guaranteed to make you swoon.

Grab your favorite table over in the corner and prepare to be swept off your feet by these unforgettable mountain men.

Oh my goodness! How do those Dolly Parton lyrics go - yawn and stretch and try to come to life? 👍🏼 It's finally feeling like spring around my neck of the woods (for the next 15 minutes, anyway) and I'm shaking off the sluggishness of winter hibernation. How have the first two months of 2024 gone for you?

I'm so pleased that my February is ending so pleasantly, with THREE new ARCs to read and review as well as inklings of ideas for spring projects. Sometimes it just takes a little quality down-time to recharge the ol' batteries!

I'll be sharing some of my latest reads and hyping some new ones in the next few days. Until then, what have you been up to, friends? Any new projects on your hooks?

I was lucky to get my hands on an ARC of this adorable holiday romance from Claire Wilder, Contemporary Romance Author ♥️ I think you’ll fall for her sweet, smart leading man, Leif, just like I did! Without giving anything away, I will say that you should be prepared for this one to give you ALL the feels. This novella is a quick escape from all the frantic holiday-ing you’re doing right now, and it’s free in KU: http://geni.us/wishforme

That first year, all I wanted for was a night to forget. Instead, I got the most magical night of my life. But Leif Kelly and I both have big dreams. The kind of dreams you can’t just toss aside for love.

The kind of dreams that keep us light years apart.

Still, each year when we both come home for Christmas, I fall a little more in love with Lief. I know there’s no world where we can be together, but I’ve always known how to dream.

Except this year, things are different. This year, my world comes crashing down around me. This year it might be too late to tell Leif that all I ever wanted was for him to wish for me.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still feeling stuffed to the gills from all our family’s Thanksgiving food! I think I may stick with steamed broccoli and salads for a few days until I can walk without waddling again. 😂

Here’s a teaser of my current WIP. What do you think I’m hooking up?

Grateful for all my friends - new and old - and for your support in this journey! Have a wonderful day with friends, family, and food!
