Ann). Her writing ranges across various levels of heat—but don't pen her in a box! Writing about love and relationships, especially open door, are her jam. She writes about empowered women seeking pleasure with their partners for mutual satiation, no needs ignored and mutual enjoyment a must. Her characters love to explore their sexuality and pleasure in unrestricted consensual ways. She's also a podcaster at Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow, and an audiobook narrator..Links:http://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/https://linktr.ee/RuanWillowhttps://ruanwillowauthor.com/http://instagram.com/ruanwillowhttps://www.facebook.com/ruan.willow/Threads: ruanwillow and ruanwillowauthorTikTok ruanwillow.Keep Up With The Book Babes:Social Media: BackstagewiththebookbabesEmail: [email protected] & Guest Author Applications: linktr.ee/backstagewiththebookbabes.Find Alby Blake & Her Unique Sports Romance Books:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_alby_blake/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alby_blakeWebsite: www.lovelunapress.com.Find Nikki Jewell & Her Spicy Contemporary Romance:Social Media: @nikkijewell_booksWebsite: authornikkijewell.comEvent Links: ://linktr.ee/nikkijewellbooks
