HAPPY MONDAY EARLY BIRD RELEASES!!! I’m working on this one as we speak, so keep checking back as it will grow. There are already TWO on here that sound AMAZING (a sports romance grumpy sunshine one – that one to the left and an obsessed stalker/marital strife affair one. HOLY. MOLY!!!!

And also…

Three things:

1.) I did a HUGE UPDATE on my “Upcoming New Releases Page” that I’m thrilled about. The list goes all the way to August 2026!! <— Make sure to check it out.

2.) I got in on some amazing Bath & Body Works deals this weekend. Between shopping online & heading out to the actual store, I got in on 2 huge sales. Two of my 3 favorite products were super-bargain priced this weekend —> 3 wick candles & the wallflowers <— that was a flash sale. Plus I had some free gifts (due to my birthday —> so I got a mini hand lotion (strawberry poundcake!!) and a room spray (strawberry melon!!) and coupons for percentage off, and I made out, BIG time!! I have the perfect warm and cozy scents to take us right through Christmas. 🙂 My wish is that they’d release some of their super- Christmas smells (along the lines off Christmas trees and berries) in lotions and body washes too. I’d LOVE to smell like a sweet Christmas tree. 😂

3.) I’m thinking I need a candle warmer instead of lighting them. I have a bottom warmer but probably best to use it for the jars with only a last inch of a candle left. So off I go to find myself a sweet, glowy, top warmer. I’ll miss the beautiful glow of a candle so at least with a top warmer I’ll still have a glow. So off to search for my perfect one… Oooooh I REALLY love that one to the right (it’s grey and will match my kitchen perfectly). SO cute. But I also love this cute delicate perfect pink petal one. Ohhhh this one’s fun (like an olde-timey lantern with the handle and everything). This one is just full-on pretty. Oh and I love all of these lantern-style ones (this one is so coastal which also matches my house). This fishies one – so cute, and this one is the perfect teal green for my decor. I’m actually saving them all right here in this post so I can go back and choose one. 😉

Play Me : a Grumpy Sports Hero, Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

ADRIANA LOCKE’S LATEST SPORTS ROMANCE —> RUGBY PLAYER ALERT! SHE DESPISES HIM…

“…I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was. My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.

Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god.

Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn.”
