199: Sneak peek reading of insta-attraction romance novella, Love By Design

from Author Diary Entries · host Sagan Morrow

Happy BOOK RELEASE DAY to Love By Design: an insta-attraction, forced proximity, friends to lovers, in love with a married man, small town romance with an unexpected premise: The main character needs to live alone with her boss’s husband (without her boss around), and she develops a HUGE crush on that man — and he seems to be interested in her, too — AND her boss seems to be encouraging them to spend more time together. (So this is kind of a twist on the workplace romance trope, too!) …Basically, the main character has NO IDEA she’s in a “why choose” polyamorous romance story. As the newest addition to the Polyamorous Passions Universe, Love By Design is part of the Small Town Stilettos duology. It is Book 2 in the duology, however it can 100% be read as a standalone book. Love By Design is a “PG-13” book (it has very low steam/spice — but that doesn’t mean it won’t make you swoon!). Grab this book at your favourite e-bookstore, request it at your local library, or read it for free if you’re a Kobo Plus member. Thank you for celebrating book release day with me by buying this novella for yourself or a friend, reviewing it on Goodreads, and/or helping me spread the word by sharing about the book! I appreciate you.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
