Hi, everyone!
I hope you're having a better week than me. We've had the dreaded stomach bug here over the last few days (which is why this newsletter is a couple of days later than normal). Send help & Clorox wipes.
Anyway... I at least got some re-reading and audiobooking in over the last few days. I'll have Jamie & Amanda's story back in my hands soon to go over edits & I can't wait for you all to meet them. Maybe I should let Jamie pop in and take over a newsletter (though that might be more Amanda's thing).
In this email: The Future Play PR opportunity, another TFP teaser, & a featured book.
Jamie Henderson = your new book boyfriend 😍

My already soft heart melts at that. Her words show me that she’s not giving up on this… whatever’s growing between us. She sees the potential there too. A future. For so long, when I imagined making it to the majors, it always felt a little lonely. Sure, I’d have my family and friends to celebrate with me, but the idea of having someone who’s by my side through it all? It’s almost too much to hope for, but I won’t stop hoping, because Amanda deserves to be someone’s hope. Someone’s dream. Someone’s wish. There’s no doubt anymore, she’s mine.

The Future Play PR package opportunity!
Bookish besties, I have a fun PR package opportunity for you...
First, a couple of important notes:
- You must have some form of active social media where you can share about a package if you receive one.
- You must have a U.S. mailing address. (To all my international besties, I love you! But shipping is terrifying at the moment and regulations are getting more complex. I will be working to incorporate international giveaways in the future.)
- Signing up does NOT guarantee you will get a PR package. These will be very limited.
What you'll get:
If you're chosen to receive a PR package, you'll get...
- Your choice of hot guy or discreet signed (not personalized) paperback
- Character art & stickers
- A note from me :)
I'm not sure exactly when PR packages will go out as it depends when the book is finalized and I get copies from Amazon, but if you are chosen, you'll receive an email confirming your shipping information.
Not sure about a PR package, but want to read it early?
Sign up for an opportunity to ARC read it here
(P.S. If you are already a member of my ARC team, you don't need to sign up!)

This week's featured book:
Free Fall by Khushi T. Saha
It was only supposed to be a little legal advice, and a crash course in the sex department, but what happens when the grumpy lawyer falls for the less-than-experienced-sunny romantic?
Big-shot attorney Aariv Abbas is every woman's dream: hunky as sin, successful, and that man who puts responsibility, and family duty first (the kind of man every South Asian hopes their son becomes when they grow up). Too bad he's such a grumpy asshole with a one-track mind. And thank God he's only in the market for an Indian wife.
Chrissy Smyth is young, brash, full of hopes, and a head-in-the-clouds dreamer, but a chance encounter with a grumpy lawyer has her realizing that romance isn't for everyone. And she doesn't need to waste her time with nonbelievers like him, no matter how hot or big his … biceps may be.
But when her life takes a major misstep and her family's business gets pulled into a serious Russian crime ring, what's a girl to do but look to the only attorney she knows for advice, Grumpenhunk and all?
And how's the good Indian son supposed to behave when his attraction for a woman who ticks none of the boxes on his life list becomes unmanageable?
Free Fall is a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, slight age gap, cultural differences, and ultra steamy romance that will make you laugh, cry, want to punch a pillow, and then do a happy dance.
Free Fall is available on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited

Is it weird that I'm almost halfway through The Last Love Story?? Probably because it's about half the length of my usual books lol! The Baker Girls series are all quick and snappy rom-coms, and Justin & Jade are keeping up with the banter & tension. Can't wait to tell you more about them. But first, I'll be screaming about all things Jamie & Amanda until release day next month!!

Behind the scenes with me...
Want to know what I'm working on right now? Listening to? Reading? What's rumbling around in my head? Well, I'm going to tell you anyway!
🖊️Currently working on: The Last Love Story
👀Currently distracting me from that: The evil, evil germs.
📖Currently reading: Fun fact: when I'm sick, I re-read my own books because they make me feel cozy. In the last few days I finished up reading Real Love and am almost done with Forever Love.
🎧Currently listening to: Time for me to scream for a second about one of my author friends, Jenni Bara. I bought the whole Boston Revs series & I'm only halfway through The Fall Out (which I'd already read) and it is SO GOOD. So many laugh out loud moments & the narration is *chef's kiss* so go check them out if you haven't!
If you want more fun behind the scenes info, make sure you join my FB reader group, Bethany’s Book Besties! It's where we talk about books, romance, my characters & their love stories, and where I share random unedited snippets of what I'm working on and other fun teases! And this year there might be an exclusive giveaway or two as well!

That's it for me today! Until next time, take care and happy reading!
