Grateful for your support Sam 🙏❤

Ariella thinks everything is going as well as can be expected. Caleb has ghosted Melissa and is tortured by the memories of a devastating incident, but is pretending that everything is fine.

It’s all going to be okay in the end..... Right?

❄️ Mini ARC Review #2 ❄️

Complicated is out and again, another cliffhanger ending and now I’m desperate!!! What a series so far! “Complicated” sucked me in just as much as the first and man, the ride this book takes you on is a complete mind explosion 🤯

We continue to follow Ariella and Caleb as they navigate their relationship as well as their individual growth. This is what I LOVE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS SERIES! It is so REAL. I literally say this every time I tell someone about this book. It is so realistic in a way I haven’t seen in other contemporary romance novels. It is so HUMAN. It showcases growth, bad habits, betrayal, sadness, depression, victories, badass moves. Everything makes sense. Every MOVE makes sense. And the progression to making those choices and the consequences/successes after said choices is so smooth. This book is written so well. I am so so impressed.

Watching Aari’s growth from this baby rabbit to a phoenix in the last act was beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Watching her choose herself, recognizing and no longer regretting doing that…beautiful. Watching Caleb accept his actions, consequences, and feelings and being okay with being vulnerable…beautiful. But I will say that the miscommunication went on a tad bit longer than I wanted to the point it seemed like straight manipulation, but it worked in the end.

Ola Tundun…Ola Tundun…Queen Ola. You can write, girl. You can write! The buildups in this book hold you and when Tundun hits the ground running during that last act...Oh my god! Fantastic book. Fantastic!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a kind and thoughtful review Diandra! I am so grateful ♥️🙏🏾

❄️ Mini Book Review ❄️

Oh my goodness, OH MY GOODNESS! What a way to start the new year. I have no idea what I was expecting, but this book took my soul for the day. I literally sat at 6pm and finished this book at 1am with maybe two breaks. It was THAT GOOD. This is one of those series that needs to be a movie or a tv show. I need this on the screens pronto!

The feeling of the story and chemistry between Caleb and Ariella is so real. SO REAL. This could happen to you or your best friend, and having that feeling that you can relate made me love it so much more. Ola is a fantastic writer with such a beautiful observant style. She builds the scenes around you, instills the feeling of the MCs within you. It was such a delightful reading experience. I am a fan! She is now Autobuy for me!

Caleb is an absolutely s*xy MMC. Not because of s*x appeal alone, but because of his heart and when he recognized he loved that girl…woo! Nothing was going to stop him! Ariella, our FMC, is so pure, trusting, and humble. Because she was constantly surrounded by such a protective loving family, when she recognized that she wanted to go out into the world and find out who she is, you have to root for her. She cares soooo much about everyone and everything and seeing people try to hurt and manipulate her broke my heart. But she is such a strong woman who truly fought for her own. I LOVED THAT!

I read along with the audiobook and the narrator, Savannah Davies was fantastic! I really hope she narrates the sequel, Complicated.

Grateful to be part of this fantastic lineup! Go check out the of 2024!🥂

QOTD: What new book are you most eagerly anticipating the publication of this year? 📚✨

Did anyone else get in trouble when they were younger for reading way past bedtime? 🙈😂😂

To this day, I'll stay up past 2AM reading, even though the day job starts at 9. 😅

📚 Arc - review 📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Complicated by Ola Tundun

Publication date: 5th of January ✨

"I started this book not knowing that it was the second book in the Roommates series.Even though I was a bit confused in the beginning,I got to know the characters and their stories pretty quickly.Complicated - I don’t think there is a better word to describe the relationship between Caleb and Ariella. They go through a lot,there are so many emotions and plot twists that kept my attention picked throughout the book. Overall it was a great read,but I would really recommend that you read Roommates first,which is the first book in Caleb and Ariella’s story,so you can get the whole context.

✨Synopsis: Ariella doesn’t want drama. Well, that’s too bad.
All she wants is to stay wrapped up in her lemon-scented love bubble with reformed pl***oy Caleb. But then her new boss turns up, the high-flying, high-maintenance Melissa, who has a mysterious history with Caleb.
Suddenly Ariella finds herself working miles from home, fighting with Caleb, and wondering where it all went wrong?
And just as they’re about to sort it out, real trouble comes knocking…
Fans of Emily Henry, Tia Williams and Lucy Score will adore this romantic, s*xy and joyful novel.

♥ Slow burn ♥
♥ Pining hero ♥
♥ Love triangle ♥
♥ Opposites attract ♥

Thank you to and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Happy publication day 🤗"

If anyone at the beginning of 2023 had told me that a second book with my name on it would be published at the beginning of 2024, I would have laughed at them, said ‘your lips to God’s ears’ and bought them yet another drink.

As Complicated releases, it is impossible to celebrate it without acknowledging and thanking the incredibly supportive authors, readers, reviewers, friends, family, gatekeepers and motivators that helped to make this release a reality.

Emily Glenister you’re the best. Storm Publishing thank you for your continued belief. Eva Kinder I will never stop thanking you.

Today, I am very far away celebrating with the two most important people in my life and thanking God for all His blessings; so sadly I am unable to have a release reception today.

However, those that know, understand that I take drinks and nibbles to celebrate life, love and friendship VERY seriously, so watch this space. UK crew, we will assemble before January is over. US crew, I’m working on our double celebration, this year. Swedish crew - I’m buying you and some other friends dinner this year. I don’t know how or when, but it’s going to happen.

With all my love, gratitude and deep, DEEP thanks,
Ola x 🙏🏾♥️

💙 Be captivated by this hilarious, and oftentimes, heartbreaking journey into both Ariella and Caleb’s worlds, as one tries to rebuild their once-perfect life; while the other struggles with just how much theirs could change forever.

QOTD: how many books did you read this year?

"2023 was such a great year for me and getting back into reading. 📖 I went through all 37 books I read this year and these are by far my favourite this year.

Thank you so much for including Roommates I am so grateful that you gave Roommates a chance ❤️🙏🏾

Ariella thinks everything is going as well as can be expected.

Caleb has ghosted Melissa, is tortured by memories of a devastating incident but is pretending that everything is fine... 👀

It’s all going to be okay in the end. Right? 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It's out THIS FRIDAY, 5th January, but you can pre-order it NOW! http://geni.us/320-cr-two-am

Ariella Mason has the perfect life.

Perfect job? Check.
Perfect home? Check.
Perfect fiancé? Check.

None of this is by accident. Ariella is a card-carrying perfectionist.

On the other side of the city lives Ariella’s polar opposite. Caleb Black is an unrepentant smart-ass, seat-of-his-pants, arrogant party-boy getting through life on charisma and raw s*x appeal (his words).

So why, one night, does Ariella turn up with her bags, asking to rent Caleb’s spare room? Ariella has done a complete 180 on her life. And nothing good could ever come of this… Could it?

Be captivated by this hilarious, and oftentimes, heartbreaking journey into both Ariella and Caleb’s worlds, as one tries to rebuild their once-perfect life; while the other struggles with just how much theirs could change forever.
