You Had Me at Ice Cream

From treadmill to true love?

Zara isn’t what Oliver expects when he enlists a personal trainer named “Zee” to shed his Covid kilos. She’s blonde, brainy, and never says no to a Magnum – something Oliver can get on board with being an ice cream lover himself.

Suddenly, exercising is less excruciating with Zara slogging it out next to him on the treadmill – even if he is paying her for his pain.

Zara isn’t oblivious to Oliver’s charms and, as they become closer, considers breaking her “never date a client” rule for him. But she could be too late to the party. Other women are noticing his newly toned physique and aren’t being shy about it.

With Oliver’s ego swelling along with his muscles, and their friendship hanging in the balance, can they even remain gym buddies, let alone grow into something more?

A lighthearted, dual POV, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy for fans of Portia MacIntosh and Beth O’Leary.

The Illiterate Prince

Wake. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Eric Prince is in a rut. He manages a fast food restaurant, plays computer games. Smokes a bit. Life is a little ho-hum. And on a night like any other he closes the restaurant and heads home.

But then he wakes up naked, on a cliff, in a fantasy world with no idea how he got there. Or how anything works. And things are very different in this world… For a start they don’t speak English. Or read and write English. Which makes him illiterate.

Desperate for answers, Eric makes friends with a waitress, a librarian and a horse who seems smarter than them all put together. With violent death around every corner, will he make it back home or will he be stuck in a medieval world forever?

For anyone who loves portal fantasies and other world adventures.

-Adriane, Goodreads

★★★★★  The Illiterate Prince is a fun read where magic, fights with monsters, and constant thrill are not sparse.The book is a story of adventure, of hope and self-discovery. I really enjoyed it and I hope the author is planning a sequel!
