Black Cat 🐈⬛ Meets Golden Retriever ✨. Let the Games Begin!
I'm so excited to announce that I've started writing Whiskey Throttle, book three in the Bikes of Boston series! This one follows Hollister—our golden retriever energy heartthrob—and the one woman he never saw coming: Dominic’s mom. Yep, you read that right. 😉
She’s all black cat elegance, and he's about to learn that chasing a cougar isn’t as easy as it looks. It’s my first time writing this trope (best friend’s mom / reverse age gap), and I’m absolutely loving it already.
Want to get involved? I’ve got a poll live in my new Facebook Readers Group—The Cougar Den—to help name Dominic’s mom! Come join the group, cast your vote, and stay tuned for even more chances to weigh in on future books. Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/autho...
📚 And don’t miss this: Giovanni is being featured in a special giveaway! One lucky winner will score a brand-new Kindle and a steamy collection of eBooks. You can get all the details by signing up for my email newsletter at www.gigimeier.com

I started a Facebook Readers Group!
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
It's a rare gloomy day in Houston, and we're expecting rain showers. Perfect timing for that April showers bring May flowers energy. I’ve got the piano version of Rainbow Connection playing in the background while I write this, and it’s giving all the cozy spring 🐇🌸 vibes.
Exciting news! I finally started a Facebook Reader Group, and I’d love to see you there! It’s a cozy new space where we can chat, share bookish updates, behind-the-scenes fun, and I can hear directly from you, my amazing readers. Come join the party—we're just getting started! 💬📚💕

The Box Set You've Been Waiting for Releases 3.31.25❣️
I can barely contain my excitement—I've got a brand new release coming your way next Monday!
Nope, it’s not one of those bold, broody street bikers from the Bikers of Boston series (don’t worry, they’re still revving their engines)...
This time, it's the full, unfiltered Cougars and Cubs Box Set! ❣️
That’s right—ALL FIVE swoon-worthy, reverse age gap romances in one bingeable collection!
✨ Over 350,000 words of irresistible tension
✨ Smart, successful women who know what they want
✨ Younger men who can’t stay away
✨ And a whole lot of chemistry
This series has my heart. Set in my hometown of Houston, these stories are where I first fell head over heels for writing reverse age gap romance. Honestly? They’re the reason the biker series even exists.
If you love confident women, undeniable attraction, and characters you’ll root for from page one, you’re going to adore this box set.
And speaking of bikers...
Full Throttle (Diego and Isabella’s story) is already out, and Diego even makes a few appearances in Dominic’s book! Make sure to grab your copy so you’re all caught up before their story continues.
Because guess what?
Pinned Throttle is just one action-packed chapter away from being completely written—YAY! Then it’s time for not one, but two bonus scenes for Dominic and Claudia. After everything I’ve put them through, they’ve earned every second of it. 😉

Bikers of Boston Writing Updates! I LOVE this series!!
I love the Bikers of Boston Series! Last week, I wrote the scene linking Pinned Throttle to Whiskey Throttle. For you Swifties, it's a big old Easter egg that you will easily find. I'm always envious of how well Taylor does then and want to try harder to add them because who doesn't want to hunt for them?!?!?
Hollister is the golden retriever energy and glue to the entire band of brothers. He lets everyone live their life but doesn't let them stray too far into their lives. And there is a reason for that: he's lonely! Finding love in all the wrong places, often with many different women.
But when he encounters his older woman and her black cat energy, AND his best friend's mom, he's WAY out of his element. I can't wait to write his story next!
In the interim, I LOVE writing Pinned Throttle and Dominic's dark energy. He's twisted and tortured for many reasons, but his new favorite activity is pinning Marlowe in different positions; thus, why it's called "Pinned." It's his favorite way to have her.
For those binge readers, did you know I have the Cougars and Cubs Box Set coming out at the end of the month? I'm a huge binge reader and box set buyer because I want to read all the stories straight through.

HAPPY SPRING BREAK!
If you're in the southern states of America like I am, you know it's Spring Break for the next two weeks. Apparently, and I don't know why, Houston has become the Spring Break destination of choice this year. Not to put down my city because I LOVE Houston and have lived here for decades, BUT we don't have clear blue water and white sandy beaches like the shores of Miami or the freezing but gorgeous rocky coasts of California and the Pacific Ocean. We do have the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo most of the month, so that may be the draw.
Anywho, the children and I are homebound as baseball over Spring Break rules the schedule! My son is a pitcher, third baseman, and occasional outfielder on two different teams, so between the games, practices, workouts, and pitching lessons, vacations are highly coveted and strategically planned. He plays three games this week.
My daughter has also had a few fashion shows for the Livestock Show and Rodeo and a photo shoot for a Houston boutique this weekend. So, there is no rest for the weary!
No vacation means more time to write Dominic and Claudia's book!!! And let me tell you, I love it! Dominic is a tough nut to crack (no pun intended) and an even tougher nut to write. I find myself writing his chapters and then having to go back and make them more choppy. The beats are faster and far less fluff. Even though he's a chronic overthinker, he's not a sharer, and that's where I stumble.
Y'all know I like to explain every little thing in my character's head, but Dom isn't having it. Most times, we argue, and he wins. That said, I hope you like the end result when it comes out!
I'm more than halfway done with Pinned Throttle. I sent the first part off to my developmental editor as I continue writing the rest. It's my normal process, and even though he and I argue, it's going great flow-wise. I originally was going to release in June, but I want to move that way up. How much sooner? I have no idea! But you will be the first to know when it's done!
Alrighty, while the bikers are in the deep freeze of winter in Boston right now, the Houston Cougars and Cubs are warm, willing, and ready.

Thank you for reading Full Throttle
THANK YOU to all the beautiful souls who brought and read Full Throttle❣️ Release Day over the weekend. It was fantastic to hear how much you loved this first book in the Bikers of Boston Series.
It's been a blast getting to write these bikers's stories! Seeing your posts on social media, getting the DMs, and watching readers write reviews on the various platforms has kept a smile on my face all weekend 🥰
I aim for this series to be more successful than my Cougars and Cubs Series 💋, which will be hard to top but certainly on its way!
As you already know, I've been writing the next book in the series, Pinned Throttle . I also wrote the set-up for Hollister to fall hard for his older woman, so that was super fun.
If you want to see what's next, pop over to my website to see all the covers in this series! I'll have more preorders this month so that you can get their stories FIRST!

Full Throttle Release Week
I can't believe that Full Throttle is coming out this Friday, just in time for a spicy weekend with a hot and smart street biker!
I love this couple so much; they practically wrote the book for me. She's uptight, loves control, and only allows herself to be free when blasting through the streets of Boston on her hot pink bike and a helmet with a long braid attached to it. A bumper sticker saying If You're Going to Ride my *ss, At Least Pull My Hair.
A college senior. His chemistry professor. A pink bike. A dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore.
It's all fun and games and outdoor MMMMMl, so if reverse age gap is you jam, be sure to pick-up this steamy hot new release!

I’m Struggling, But You’re Getting Something AMAZING🤩
I'm coming to you from my bed today. Unfortunately, I got COVID pretty quickly after returning home, and whoa, it's hitting me hard! I got it last year right after we went to Miami for my daughter's photoshoot. I swear, I'm not licking the surfaces of the airplane, but you'd think I am with how many times I get sick after traveling. I am even a health nerd and bring all my vitamins with me when we travel, but to no avail; it happens.
While on the plane home, I was in full formatting mode and finished up this weekend before the sickness hit. Hooray! Full Throttle has been uploaded to all platforms and is ready to be in your e-reader first thing Friday morning, February 28th!
That's two months earlier than I originally planned, and I've already started on the second book in the series, Pinned Throttle, as you already know from the sneak peeks I've been sharing. I'd like to keep the momentum going by releasing that early so I can get the whole series out before fall. It's a pretty aggressive timeline, so hopefully, it can happen.
The reason is I want to publish a book a month as a challenge to myself as a writer that would be released in the months before Christmas. So, we'll have to see how that goes.
Much love and good health to you beautiful souls this week❣️

Have you read my dark romance series?
Did you know that I wrote a delicious, extremely dark romance series? This series is lengthy, slow-burning, and very spicy. Although my website contains many content warnings, I love my dark Cañon Series so much.
I wrote this series through some difficult times in my life and poured my emotions into these books. You do need to read them in order, but I must admit, Isla, the last book in the series, is my darkest and has the most triggering content. Her story is throughout the series as we first meet her in the first book, Tomlin, but her whole story is told in her book, and it's everything you've been waiting for.
So, while I'm putting the finishing touches on Full Throttle, you can dive into my other series. I promise it's well worth it! And the first book in the series, Tomlin, is FREE❣️
But BEWARE, Dani Winters, the FMC is not for everyone! Readers have told me her foul mouth, in-your-face attitude, and over-the-top personality are love or hate, not in-between. But if you love her, then you'll LOVE her because she's unapologetically and slow to change, but she eventually gets there. And Tomlin Takahashi, the MMC, is just about as perfect as he is gorgeous, with patience galore for Dani. He definitely falls first and only has eyes 👀 for her.

Thank you for reading Marco
THANK YOU to everyone who bought, read, reviewed, and loved Marco❣️ It hit Amazon's bestseller list the day of release, and I couldn't have been happier at the unexpected surprise. And the rave reviews are still rolling in—thank you 🥰
It was a huge success, and I owe it all to you, the readers and super fans of this spicy, instalust series! What an amazing way to close out the year and ring in a new one!
I've been writing and rewriting Full Throttle to add more angst. Because, let's be honest, haven't you ever lusted after a guy and wondered what he'd be like?
That's basically my platform . . . steamy naughty fun
I had the whole thing written and shipped it off to my developmental editor, but we agreed that I didn't hit my target. As you'll know, I can get wordy and want you to dive deep with the characters as they try to figure things out themselves. But I'm cutting back, adding more scenes, and bringing it to you earlier than the original April timeline. If I can get the timing right between my developmental editor and my grammar editor, try a February release!
Speaking of getting my timing right, I'm going to bundle up the whole The Cougars and Cubs Series for you box set lovers. Think later Spring :)
More details on that later. Otherwise, Happy New Year
