Exciting news!
I have some exciting news. French Holiday narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster is a finalist in the 2024 Audies! Kelsey Navarro Foster is an amazing narrator, but don’t just take my word for it. The AUDIES award committee listed her among the top 5 romance narrators of 2023.
I’m so excited for the 2024 Audies where we all get to celebrate audiobooks and the people who help create them. One of my favorite memories from kidhood is spending countless hours listening to audiobooks. It’s a dream to be able to work with such talented, amazing narrators. I’m grateful to them all for bringing the stories we love to life.
Thank you Kelsey for your love of audio, your talent, and how your narration never fails to make people smile. And thanks to all voice actors and artists for making books great! Yay for this exciting news!

For Serena Otaki, free-spirited Californian, life is simple. She loves smashing atoms at The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. She loves Star Trek, spicy tofu, and her cat, Captain Purrk. She loves her messy (slob-fest) apartment, her chaotic brand of organizing, and staying permanently, happily unattached.
Life is perfect. She has one true love—physics.
Loving a man isn’t in her future.

Life is perfect. He has many loves—physics, family, friends. He can’t wait to find the woman of his dreams.
Love and marriage are in his future.
One perfect night Serena and Henry meet. Sparks fly, particles collide, the universe comes to a halt, and…
It was a mistake.
They’re too different.
It won’t work.
Love isn’t in their future.
Until an electric storm causes an unexpected event at the particle collider and suddenly—they’ve switched.
Serena is in Henry’s body.

Named Best of 2023!
I am so excited! The editors at Apple Books selected Ghosted as one of the best of 2023! Check it out today!
Romance is Dead…
Jillian Nejat is the only dating and relationship expert on the planet who is incapable of speaking to men. If they’re living, if they’re breathing, it’s game over.
With her bank account at zero, her career a dumpster fire, and her dating life in a ten-year slump, she moves into a tiny, dirt-cheap NYC apartment.
Unfortunately, the apartment is already occupied.
Daniel (no-last-name) is a sexy, shirtless, six-pack wielding heartthrob who is also…dead.
He isn’t living. He isn’t breathing. He’s a ghost. He’s also the only man on the planet that Jillian can talk to.
Soon, Daniel’s convinced that it’s his afterlife mission to resurrect Jillian’s love life. He knows, if he helps her fall in love then he can move on. Jillian agrees. The last thing she needs is a Lothario ghost haunting her living room.
But then, one practice date leads to another, one confession leads to more, and suddenly Jillian fears she’s falling for the one man she can never have.
See the whole list of Best of 2023 here!

Sneak Peak #2 The Space Between by Sarah Ready
Check out sneak peak #2 for my upcoming romance book, The Space Between!
The Space Between releases on July 25th, 2023 but is available everywhere for pre-order now. Check out sneak peak #2 below:
We’re behind the curtain, ready for the gig to start. Dean and Dallas already set everything up. We’re tuned. We did our sound test. It’s all ready.
I’m tapping my fingers against my leg, trying to get out the jitters. When we play in the park or at Union Square or Grand Central, we just set up and start playing. Here, people are waiting on us. I can hear their expectation. It’s this crackling, edgy sort of noise.
I glance over at Andi.
She’s leaning against the wall, partially hidden in the shadows, staying outside the circle of the band. When she sees me looking she smiles, stands straight and gives me a double thumbs up.
I smile at her.
Now the jitters I was feeling have settled in my stomach. But I think that’s because Andi’s wearing a top that rides up over her belly button and shows the curve of her waist.
I wonder what it’d be like to dance with her.
I try really, really hard not to stare at her bare skin.
I can imagine my mom smacking me on the back of the head if she caught me looking.
I wince at the thought and send up an apology.
“Who’s the girl?” Dallas asks, shooting a dark look at Andi.
Dallas is a big guy. Refrigerator big. He’s our drummer and he grew up on the top floor of our building. He and Dean are the same age and have always been friends. Dallas’s dad has been in prison since before he was born and his mom was always gone. From what I could tell as a kid, she was gone early morning to late at night.
If Dallas wanted breakfast, he came to our place. If he wanted dinner, he came to our place. If he wanted a mom to
hug him, or a dad to reprimand him, he came to our place.
Mom always called him her fourth son. Let’s just say he took their deaths as hard as we did, and when Dean asked him to take Mom’s place at the drums, he didn’t hesitate.
Dallas glares at Andi and cracks his knuckles. Most people are intimidated when a six-foot-five guy plastered in prison tattoos cracks his knuckles and glares at them menacingly.
But Andi just lifts her chin and says, “The girl is Andi.”
“I don’t like her,” Dallas says, turning away.
I’m not surprised, Dallas doesn’t like anyone outside of Pauly and our family. Mom once said that Dallas has trust issues.
I always thought that was a nice way of saying he doesn’t like people.
It never really bothered me before though. Us five, we’re loyal to each other, and we always will be. We’d do anything for each other.
When River was nine, and Dallas was thirteen, Dallas came home and found River getting beaten by this junkie who’d been sleeping on our apartment stoop. The junkie had snapped and was viciously kicking River, who was curled in this little ball. Dallas went after the junkie. He went after him hard. I didn’t see it, but I saw Dallas after. It wasn’t pretty. The police came. It was ruled self-defense.
Later that night, Dallas set our landlord’s Cadillac on fire. He dumped gasoline all over that Caddy and then threw a burning match on it. Apparently, the landlord was the one supplying the junkie with his fix and allowing him to use our stoop as his bedroom. Dallas didn’t like that.
So he went to juvie.
When he came back, his trust issues were even bigger.
But he says he’d do it again. Anything for his family.
But even if it is Dallas, I’m not going to let him bully Andi.
“She’s with me.”
Everyone turns to look at me. And it’s funny, because even though only Dean and River are related, they all have identical expressions of surprise.
River is the first to recover.
“Nice to meet you, Andi.” A wide grin splits his face. “I’m River. The nice brother.”
