I write the kinds of books I want to read. Fast-paced books with lots of world-building, snarky heroines, and swoony heroes. I love story, pop culture, gossip, and baked goods. I’m a modern-day hippy and certified LEGO nerd.

Tavey has three rules for attending her coworker’s wedding:

1. Don’t make it weird
2. Don’t drink too much
3. Definitely don’t hit on Miller Evans

When she breaks all three before dessert, she’s sure she’s ruined her chances and their friendship.

Except Miller Evans—the quiet, steady, devastatingly competent man she’s been crushing on for years—turns out to want her too.

The only problem?

He doesn’t do impulsive.

He does forever.

This was Tavey and Miller's story, which we found to be fun, flirty, and cute, and found ourselves smiling throughout and even laughing out loud a few times. This was a new author to us, and we enjoyed this light and fun read, so we checked out their other titles.

Tavey and Miller are co-workers & friends; she is pure sunshine, and he ex military who has been crushing on her for some time. An opportunity presents itself to attend a themed wedding.

Tavey was a wonderful character who made us laugh. We found her to have a great personality, but she suffers from low self-esteem. We loved that she was finally pursuing her happiness, as she deserved to be happy, and we knew from our first introduction to her that she would be perfect for Miller, and he for her.

Miller, we found to be the protective type, caring, and one with a moral compass. We found him to be sweet, kind, and loving, just the kind of man Tavey needs in her life.

Overall, we enjoyed this read and its wonderful characters. The idea of the themed wedding was awesome. The witty banter was great, the characters fantastic, and if we are correct, there may have been some match-making going on in the background, neither the wiser. This one will make you smile. Looking for a quick, fun read? This one is for you.

*DELUXE LIMITED EDITION PAPERBACK featuring stenciled edges, holographic foil, designed interior covers, chapter headers, and full color special character art!*

Unexpected sparks ignite a slow burn in this grumpy/sunshine workplace romance when a single mom proposes a marriage of convenience to save her boss’s brewery.

Fans of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borison will find their next obsession with this second standalone in bestselling author Lena Hendrix’s spicy, emotional, deeply romantic Kings Series set in small town Michigan.

You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss.

You would be correct.

To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.

When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.

The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.

I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.

Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . . .
