Mini - Both have main characters have a soft spot for underdogs and lost causes.
I am not sure. No mystery, it is a romance, set in Colorado, so maybe in west side of US? Mc changes work? I don't know :D
Oh, how about Kinsey is a unisex name, fit for a girl and a boy, and so is Sawyer?

Maddy, I am SERIOUSLY impressed with how fast you read. Like holy cow! How do you fly through books so fast?! Lol.

But actually, it is mostly audio books. While I am updating one book, I am already listening to the next one ;D
Lol I love to read too but I can't do it that fast. For some reason audio books just don't work for me so it takes a bit longer for me. Good for you!
Oh, I get it completely. I used to hate audiobooks, but I found this subscription, where I can put a 2x speed on them and it works better for me. Assuming the narrator is okay. I still prefer my romances to be ebooks, but I love mysteries on audio for some reason, so I make it work somehow :)And I am sure you have a nice speed too, so don't put yourself down, you are doing great ;)

It is helpful to if someone forgets to check if something works for a reverse if you can let us know.
I'm going to get everything updated and then I'll post an update. I think we are close to having all the color cards, WD4 and reverses covered.
