There's something about winter that gives me all the small-town romance vibes. Cozying up on the couch with a cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, the fire roaring, and a sweet and spicy small-town romance novel makes the perfect day, doesn't it?

In between writing, and editing Sound of Love (coming this spring!), I've been reading a lot as well. Please don't ask me about the household projects I thought I'd get to during Christmas break, or if I'm keeping up with my daily chores. (Spoiler Alert: I'm not!)

If you're like me and are looking for valid excuses to keep you from the daily grind stuff that brings no pleasure, here are a few books that can keep you distracted from cleaning toilets. You. Are. Welcome!

Easy to Love, the first book in my Acadia Falls series.

Falling for him is too easy. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel cherished.

But Holden is keeping secrets from me. Now I have to find out if he truly is

the easy-going man I fell in love with, or if it was a trap that I’d fallen into

once again.

Mine to Love, the second book in the interconnected series, Acadia Falls.

Not even my best friend and a jar of peanut butter could make things better.

But when Logan Pierce walks in with his stuffy demeanor and fancy suit that

accentuates everything delicious about him, the distraction takes the edge

off an otherwise rotten situation. Maybe it’s the wine, or maybe it's the way

he squirms when I shamelessly flirt, but a quickie in his BMW couldn’t make

my day worse, could it?

My author pal Mel Walker has a sweet and spicy small-town romance, When We Were that's free! It's the prequel to The Amazing Date. So good!

Guilt-free reading!

Have a fabulous weekend, friends.
