Y’all, I wrote a book about two chaotic bisexuals who get tangled up in a modern day, nerdy as hell, Dungeons & Dragons flavored, You’ve Got Mail-type situation.

And I love it.

the pink! the dice! AHH!

It’s sprinkled with the geekiest, yummiest tidbits all of my chronically online besties (readers) will squeal over and…a bucket hat???? Yeah, our golden retriever, soft dom hero is obsessed with his head-wear of choice. Sadly(???), it does something for Old Suze, our prickly bean heroine.

Not Looking is hot. It’s messy. It’s a low stakes, slice-of-life, hilarious (if I do say so myself?), spicy romantic comedy and I want you to read it early!!!!

If all that doesn’t convince you, here’s a review from one of Not Looking’s earliest readers:

I didn’t think I could fall harder for an Alaina Rose book, then along came Suze. A fiery redhead on the brink of 40, living loud, proud, and only slightly, generally bothered. Enter Dillon: golden retriever, wholesome menace, and owner of the world’s most tragically endearing bucket hat who crashes into Suze’s life flipping her carefully curated chaos into something softer, scarier, and so much sweeter.

I wasn't out here looking for a book I could self insert this hard into, but it found me anyway. No notes. Delightfully nerdy and fully satisfying, if you’ve ever sworn off romance only to find it creeping back in with impeccable timing and a witty comeback, this one’s for you.

(This link self-destructs when I run out of mental stability. Or Advanced Review Copies to share. Whichever comes first.)

Not an ARC reader? That’s okay, I still love you! You can preorder the ebook and support my ongoing emotional breakdown!

Y’all are the best, you know that??? Thanks for being here.

xoxo
Alaina
