Wow, I can’t believe that 2023 is nearly over. It’s been such a great year for me with publishing Bell Time and Wedding Bell Time, and I’m so thankful for the amazing support I’ve received with both books.
“Just like the first book, this was a clean romcom with seriously funny moments and plenty of tension regarding the wedding. I loved the comparison between the two families given the unusual nature of a short notice wedding, following what I really considered to be the proposal of dreams in such a picturesque setting, dog included!
The events leading up to the wedding were filled with drama and humour, all revolving around the fact that Michael had made the mistake of booking the wedding on the day he had committed to running a marathon. The resolution of the issue was so entertaining.
I love the author’s writing style and have thoroughly enjoyed reading both books in the series. She writes effortless dialogue, and with an engaging style that draws you into the story so that you can easily relate to the story and the events within it.
Wedding Bell Time is the perfect continuation to Bell Time, taking the romance to the next level, and I found it drew me into the lives of Jen and Michael so much that I did not want the book to come to an end.” Book Mad Jo
“This is such a funny, sweet and fun romance. There’s so much heart in this story… and did I mention those romantic gestures?” Bookish Gila
“It was lovely diving back in to Jen and Michael’s hilarious and chaotic romance, the ultimate grumpy/sunshine couple, but with a dual pov this time adding a second layer to the narrative. The character interaction and dialogue is so funny and real that you feel invested in them.” Emma Bookshelf
Thank you to everyone who has left a review (it makes SUCH a difference!) and shared my social media posts like this video on Facebook – it really helps me to reach more readers who love clean romance.
But my absolute highlight of the year was my launch party in November, where so many lovely friends, family and supporters came along and played the ‘Which character are you?’ quiz, swapped books and listened to me reading about Jen getting an impromptu makeover which happens to be livestreamed on Youtube!
It’s been just wonderful to share my stories and hear that other people have enjoyed them, so it’s not just in my head anymore! So thank you all so much and I’m excited for 2024!
