4 Days Until Ricochet: Full Book Summary

We're finally releasing the full book summary. The trouble of being a duo writing team is compromise (and also consistency editing *jeans-dress debacle*). That's why this has taken us so long. We wanted it to be perfect, but what we wanted to include in the summary differed. Ultimately, we both agreed on this one. So here's the final product:

As a sex addict, Lily Calloway must do the impossible. Stay celibate for 90 days.

Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale rec...

5 Days Until Ricochet: Teaser Poster #2

More Ricochet goodies today. And it involves a steamy picture with a quote from the book! All of our novels definitely push boundaries, and Ricochetis no different. Boundaries will be pushed. Sexy scenes will be had. And emotions will be crushed...hopefully in a good way ;) Feast your eyes on the teaser poster below.

6 days until ricochet: cover change

For the past few weeks, Krista and I have been debating a cover change. We made the original cover before we wrote Ricochet, and we were just focusing on making it somewhat similar to the first book by keeping the same model. But after we finished Ricochet, we began realizing that it doesn't capture the essence of this book. Not at all. It's quite sexier than the first one.

And then we had another problem. The book can no longer really be considered a novella. It's reached 70,000 words. And it...

7 days until ricochet: Official teaser poster

We made a steamy teaser poster forAddicted to Youbecause we decided not to have two models on the cover, but we still wanted to push boundaries in some way because that's what this book is all about. We thought a teaser poster would be a good way to show the sexy side of the series -- which gets progressively sexier in the novella (or what really should be called the prequel to the sequel since the length is longer than we expected).

And so, in that spirit, we made a teaser poster forRicochett...

8 Days Until Ricochet: Excerpt #2 - Connor Cobalt Edition

For all of the Connor Cobalt fans, this excerpt should be enticing. It features the most endearingly pretentious character from Addicted to You who isnow in Ricochet along with the rest of the main cast.

In the excerpt from Ricochet, Connor is trying to guess Rose's most embarrassing moment.

Connor nudges her hip with his elbow. “What is it? Did you fall into the Reflecting Pool?”

“No,” Rose deadpans, glaring at the wall.

“Did you misquote Abraham Lincoln’s speech?”

“That wouldn't happen, an...

9 days until ricochet: how much will lo be in the novella?

SPOILER ALERT : BELOW WILL TALK ABOUT THE ENDING OF ADDICTED TO YOU. DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HATE TO BE SPOILED.

Okay, if you've read the ending of the first book, then you're probably wondering where we're going to take Ricochet. The tagline says it all:

Three months have never felt so long

The novella picks up 7 days whereAddicted to Youleft off. Lo is in rehab, and his treatment is supposed to last 90 days (hence the three months that feel so long).It's not told from his POV. Everything is st...

First page, first lines of Ricochet:

I fucked up.

That’s the only thought I have when I digest my surroundings. A live DJ blasts music from wall-engulfed amps while people guzzle colored drinks. My youngest sister, Daisy, sips beer from a Solo cup,...

Collaborative writing. Whose name comes first?

This question was posed right when Becca and I started writing together. Whose name would be first on the book? For other writing duos it might be in alphabetical order or maybe the more famous of the two. It will always differ. Especially for us. We’re sisters. In fact, we’re twins. So you might be a little surprised why my name is first on the book. Let me answer some guesses that I’m sure you have before I reveal the truth :)

Krista, why does your name come before Becca’s on the book?

Is i...
