From my list on beach reads that make you laugh out loud and sigh at the sexy sweetness.
Why am I passionate about this?
I married my high school sweetheart, so I believe strongly in the magic and power of happily ever after. Although I wrote stories for my classmates as early as third grade, becoming a writer felt unattainable at the age of 21. As an elementary teacher, I adored my students, but the writing bug burrowed deep. Finally, I left the classroom and pursued writing full-time. It was a long road, but it has been so rewarding. My goal is to create a character-driven romance that feels real and relatable. One of the nicest comments I ever received was a reviewer who said she wanted to have dinner with my characters.

This book is a bit different from my other recommendations.
When the book opens, the hero and heroine are already a couple. I loved seeing how their relationship is tested against the backdrop of the hero’s colorful, sometimes eccentric family. Again, humor! Ohmigosh, there are so many absolutely hilarious moments. For me, the book was a fascinating peek into a culture I knew little about.
Families can be a handful for young lovers. When you come from two completely different backgrounds, the pressure of expectations can cause the couple to crack. I loved Kevin’s deft storytelling and the lack of stereotypical stock figures.
