The Secrets Trilogy should be read in this order: 1. Ordinary Secrets 2. Captured Immune 3. Scrubbed Mind If you go in any other order, you will be severely confused. You have been warned. :) Memory Catcher (Book #4 in the Zordi World) can be read as a standalone.

Official Unofficial Spice Rating System When romance authors are asked to rate the spice in their novels, this is the most common rating system authors use (from my experience): ​ 🌶️: fade to black (kissing, then next scene) 🌶️🌶️: closed door or vaguely open door (lightly described foreplay, then next scene) 🌶️🌶️🌶️: 1-3 explicit scenes, but mostly plot 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️: 3+ explicit scenes, heavy descriptions 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️: erotica, it’s so hot your kindle is on fire 🔥 Ordinary Secrets: Secrets Trilogy #1: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Captured Immune: Secrets Trilogy #2: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Scrubbed Mind: Secrets Trilogy #3: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Memory Catcher: A Zordi World Standalone: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

ah-rel-lah

Music and lyrics are a great way to capture a chapter's vibe or a character’s feelings. How you could use the playlists: 1. Listen to the songs before, during and/or after the chapter it belongs to. 2. Listen to the playlist after you have finished the book. 3. Have the playlist on in the background while you read. (Props to the people who can do this. My brain could never, lol.) 4. Skim the playlist to see if there are any songs you recognize. 5. Ignore the whole damn thing. 😆

Liz, specifically her relationship with Trey. I just adore how close they are and how Liz stands by Trey no matter how stupid or crazy he acts. Liz is the best friend everyone needs. Trey comes in second because he was the most complex to write. I love his character arc and seeing his growth from book 1 to book 3.

My personality is most like Javina’s. She tells it like it is, and we have the same vernacular. If I saw a hot man look sad, I, too, would say something like “I’m about to go out there and offer him a blow job just to wipe that godforsaken frown off his face.” (Line from Scrubbed Mind, chapter five.)

In the words of my fellow Minnesotans, "You betcha!"

What if I told you none of it was accidental?
