Hi !
Fated Late has been out for a week, and reviews are rolling in! I feel like every day I get a DM or see a review that makes me emotional. 🥹 Here are some of the things readers have said about the book…
“I wasn't even through Chapter 1 before I knew I was going to love it and that it was going to be SO cute. When I finished the last page every expectation I had was exceeded. This was amazing. It was cute and sweet and funny and heartbreaking and lovely and ahh. It was such a treat to be back in one of Sara's worlds, enjoying the space carved out for a beautifully unconventional love story.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“So flippin’ adorable! Sweet, spicy, unique, wonderful! Perfect palette cleanser. Left me with the warm and fuzzies.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This was so very good! I loved watching the fmc gain herself back… as she relearns who she is and what she's worth! The mmc was the perfect amount of everything a mmc should be!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The chemistry builds in a way that’s both funny and genuinely swoony. It’s cozy, a little wild, and surprisingly heartfelt.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m so glad people are loving this slightly off-kilter take on fated mates! It was really fun writing a heroine who is a little bit like me: mid-40s, perimenopausal, and watching my kids outgrow the need for my constant attention…although thankfully, Mr. Hill is nothing like Julia’s husband, Richard! 😂
The part I wish was like my real life: Julia’s incredible friends who live across the cul-de-sac. I have some wonderful friends, but they are scattered across the globe. In an ideal world, we could live across the street from each other and hang out more in person! I also wish I had Julia's singing voice. Alas, mine is more like Ian's howl. 😭
If you have left a review, thank you so much! Haven’t dipped into the book yet? You are in for a treat. It’s cozy and spicy and full of surprises.
COME PARTY WITH ME TODAY
I’m doing a takeover TODAY (Friday March 6) in the Monsters, Demons, & Knotting Facebook group! Join me at 1pm Pacific/4 pm Eastern for games and giveaways to celebrate the Fated Late launch. It should be fun and I hope to see you there!
BOOKSHOP RESTOCK
There are new signed paperbacks in my Etsy shop!
I finally got my act together and restocked the paperbacks in my Etsy shop. New titles available:

A hundred years is nothing to a Dragon, except when you’re waiting for your true mate.
WHAT I'M READING RIGHT NOW
I just picked up Ainsley Booth's new hockey romance, Pucking Inconvenient. Ainsley's other hockey series, Off the Ice, is hands down my favorite hockey series of all time, so I know this one is going to be a banger.
Have a great weekend full of great books!
Love,
Sara
