JESS’S THOUGHTS

“If this is your first time reading my books, I recommend starting with Ace of Betrayal. It’s a quick read, gives you a taste of my writing style, and it’s an interconnected standalone (which means we can avoid a messy breakup if you decide I’m not the one for you).”

JESS’S THOUGHTS

“All of my books take place in the same world, a fictional country named Wesbourne. You’ll see crossovers, character cameos, and Easter eggs sprinkled throughout. Best of luck hunting and happy reading!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Technically, yes, although the Queen of Wesbourne trilogy should be read in order. However, for the best reading experience, I do recommend progressing through each series in order.

    P.S. But if you ignore my advice, I swear not to submit you during revenge poker.

  • LOL yes. I chuckle maniacally every time a reader emails me wondering where the rest of their book went. However, I do believe in HEAs. The cliffhangers in my interconnected standalones are regarding side characters, not the main couple.

  • Spice levels vary from book to book, but you can expect it to be somewhere between 1-3 chili peppers for open-door contemporary (not dark) romance. Check individual book descriptions for spice level. And did I mention slow burn? Nearly always slow burn.

  • I am a firm believer in the third-act breakup, so short answer: YES. My books are heavy on the angst and drama. Please see individual book pages for trigger and content warnings.
