I love contemporary romance—either with com or not. I’m also a literary fiction fan (Sally Rooney, Cecilia Rabess, Curtis Sittenfeld-adjacent work is very much my thing), and I’m a good fit for romances that have literary elements (what you might query as “upmarket” or “book club”) like Yulin Kuang, Tia Williams and Carley Fortune.

 

I would love to work with you on sexual tension (it's my passion), and anything with a lot of “fraught” encounters is the most exciting to me. I love angst!

 

My favorite tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, second chance, childhood-friends-to-lovers

I love books with mental health as a storyline, neurodivergent protagonists, medium-to-high heat, open door romances, though I also enjoy lower heat romances when the tension is high (like SAME TIME NEXT SUMMER by Annabel Monaghan).

 

Some recent favorites include HOW TO END A LOVE STORY by Yulin Kuang, RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT US by Jen Devon, SLOW DANCE by Rainbow Rowell, A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE by Tia Williams, TAKE ME HOME by Melanie Sweeney, THE EX VOWS by Jessica Joyce, BUT HOW ARE YOU, REALLY by Ella Dawson, NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG by Julie Soto.

 

I’m probably not the best fit for: Anything with a strong religious storyline. While I enjoy a precocious, quirky kid in a romance, I’m not a good fit for anything related to pregnancy, stories that could be described as “clean” or “wholesome” or even “sweet,” and books with arcs or characters centered around the military or law enforcement.
