Not a Strong Enough Word is a beautiful book, inside and out. I have held the new copies in my hands, and they are SO gorgeous, they took my breath away. The cover? Brilliant. The sprayed edges? PERFECTION.
But here’s the thing about sprayed edges. They’re EXTREMELY LIMITED. Page & Vine only prints so many, and then they’re gone. If preorders eat up the entire sprayed-edge print run, bookstores without preorders will get plain-edged books even as soon as release day.
So what can you do to make sure these gorgeous sprayed edges are in your hand? Preorder, of course!
AND DID YOU KNOW that Scribbles Bookshop is a signed copy only, online romance bookstore run by another indie author (so she gets it!), and they are the only store offering personalized copies of Not a Strong Enough Word for preorder?? That’s right—if you order from Scribbles, I’ll sign AND personalize your book (if you want). But hurry, because they only have a limited amount of these sprayed-edge beauties for me to sign. Get yours now!
It’s also NetGalley Day!!! Not a Strong Enough Word is available on NetGalley now, so go request it! I promise, you’ll fall in love with Scarlett and Ryan. Maybe you’ll even fall in love with Scarlett and Ryan AGAIN! You can request it again, even if you read it before. I’m not here to judge you. Good books are meant to be re-read.
I’ve been getting tons of messages about Not on the Same Page. It’s almost like y’all need your Allie Samberts New Release fix. Far be it from me to hold you back! ARCs are ready, and they’re going out in waves. My street team got them first, which is why you’re seeing people with them. And I’m sneaky, so I also hid the link to sign up at the end of the prologue, which I went in last week’s newsletter.
But I get it! Not everyone wants to read one chapter AND THEN STOP. That’s cruel, honestly, because that prologue is going to hook you from the very start. So I’ll drop the sign up form below and you can save yourself the suspense.
The cool thing about this link is that, once ARCs are out, it’ll turn into a bonus Casey + Trina short story, plus the playlist and preorder information is already on there, so bookmark it!
There will be a lot of ways to get an ARC of Not on the Same Page I’ll have sign ups at all my events (do you have your tickets yet??), and it’ll be on NetGalley, too. So there will be plenty of opportunities.

William Clark IV never anticipated being back in his hometown. At least, not until he had a long and successful career as a pitcher in the major leagues. He couldn’t have foreseen his career-ending injury right out of the gate or the painful return to his family’s apple farm in rural North Carolina.
What started as an effort to get back on his feet turned into nearly a decade of going with the flow. Now the grumpy farmer is stuck in a resentful rut. He’s bitter and bearded, and baseball is a sore spot that never stops aching--not when his well-meaning neighbors keep reminding him of everything he lost.

Becca Kernsy never expected to fall in love with a town. To be fair, she’d never had much luck with men either. But the tiny hamlet of Kirby Falls completely blindsides this city girl and makes her ache for something she’s never had before: a place to belong. The residents are quirky and lovable. The setting is picturesque perfection. And it doesn’t hurt that she keeps running into Will Clark and his faithful dog.
Getting a reluctant smile out of the handsome farmer becomes her favorite pastime. But pretty soon, her innocent crush gets out of hand. Becca ignores the looming expiration date on her trip down south, and like a helpless cliche, she finds herself falling hard for the man she met on vacation.

Through small-town adventures and increasingly friendly outings, Will starts to remember the hometown he once loved. The only missing piece is the tourist who’s headed back to the city at the end of her stay. The one packing up and taking his heart on a six-hundred-mile journey home.
Book #1 in the Kirby Falls small-town contemporary series follows the steamy romance between a grumpy former professional athlete and the sunshiney tourist he can’t seem to resist. ‘Take It or Leaf It’ is a full-length romantic comedy filled with humor, heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
