A reader asked: Do all your books have happy endings? Me: Yes, I try to end with at least “Happy for Now” because I hope the characters have an enjoyable life. But you never know what the future holds for them; there will always be challenges. But I can’t tell what they’ll be unless I write a sequel. 😊 Having said that, there is one exception. My first book, The Essence, ends with what I call “happier later”. I found it interesting that a reader posted a review saying that they wanted to shake Sophia because the book does not have a typical romantic ending. Further in the series, the reader will find that both characters are better off that way, and eventually, everyone does get their happy ending. (To find out for yourself, read the Scoops and Schemes series).  Thanks for reading my blog!

Book Lovers by Emily Henry I loved this book because it made me laugh aloud. The scene in the coffee shop was one of the funniest I've read in a long time. I loved the writing and how it parodies some of the commonly used tropes in romance. And to my delight, the smart, determined career woman gets a happy ending. If you love romantic comedies, you'll love this book! Since We've No Place to Go by Kate Watson This book takes place at Christmas but I read it in January, and it's a great choice for any month, especially ones that can get dreary. It's a fun, fast-reading romance with captivating banter and caring characters who did kind things (despite what they believed about each other at the beginning). I loved that Liesel, the main female character, was intelligent and Cooper respected it - though it didn't stop him from being attracted to her or ribbing her. And the oversized dad and goofy brothers were great additions to the story. Are you looking for book recommendations? Check out the post in Patty Warren’s Substack Happy Reading!

Romances are a new genre for me, and I hope you enjoy this one!
One advance reviewer described it as "funny, charming and heartwarming" and another said "It was a smooth read, quick and flirty and fun."* I'm planning a series, each providing a "happy fix" escape from reality with lively characters, setting you can relate to, humor, and of course, a happy ending, so if you like fun romances, join my mailing list! *Review quotes from Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228883352-head-over-heels |
