Hi everyone!!

Let me start with something fun: my second book, Still Falling for You, is currently 25% off when you pre-order online with Barnes & Noble! Barnes & Noble Rewards and Premium Members get 25% off all pre-orders today and tomorrow using code PREORDER25! (It’s free to sign up for the rewards program and you get occasional bonuses which is fun!) Premium Members get an additional 10% off!

25% off now!

Plus, Most Eligible, my first book, is also on sale at a number of retailers! Find it about 25% off at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target, and perhaps a few more I don’t know about!

Most Eligible!

Asking people to preorder is always a little intimidating, as self-promotion often is… pre-orders are HUGELY important for authors because they tell publishers and booksellers that people actually want to read the book! But pre-ordering is not the only way to support books by me or other authors. Even before a book comes out, you can request that your local library buys it, which is a tremendous help as well!

I’ve been very busy lately drafting a secret project for fun, preparing a new rom-com proposal to send to my editor for a hypothetical book 3 (!!!), and just life in general.

Here’s a few books I’ve read lately that would make a perfect summer reading list, if you’re looking for books to bring along to the beach:

  • American Love Song by Britt Middleton - I cannot say enough about this book! Steamy, swoony, and full of heart, this is truly the country music romance of my dreams.

  • Safari Murder Party by Rachel Moore - This book was simply SO much fun! What do you get when you leave corporate employees on an island to fight to the death? An absolutely delightful romp of a book that had me hooked from page one.

  • Chase Me if You Can by Heather Frances - If you, like me (and everyone else) loved Twisters and said “where the heck was the kiss,” this one’s for you! Action-packed, steamy, and emotional, this book will have your heart racing!

Out soon:

I was lucky enough to read early copies of these books and they should definitely be on your radar!

  • Rewrite the Stars by Lindsay Hameroff - perfect summer vibes! This book is out July 7!

  • Vengefully Matched by Audrey Goldberg Ruoff - delightfully witchy and magically swoony! Out October 6!

Bonus recommendations:

I read these two a while ago, and they’re both written by dear writing friends of mine! Perfect summer vibes to be found in both:

What I’m reading:

Currently listening to Into the Blue by Emma Brodie and reading an early copy of Second Chance Saloon by Maggie Eckersley! Loving both!!

What I’m watching:

20 years late, I’m finally watching Friday Night Lights. 10 years late, I’m finally watching Stranger Things. Notice a theme? I’m also watching Love Island which I am very much not late to as it comes out every day!

Until next time!
Isabelle
