I love you ladies and I love all the fun we have.
You ladies have been the driving force and reason for most of my sanity. It’s been one hell of a year so far, and I just wanted to thank you for your love, friendship, and support. I cherish every single one of you and can’t wait to see what happens next.
To my betas and partners in crime: Beth Rustenhaven, Anne Morrilo, Stacy Hahn, Sharon Dunn, Christy Baldwin, Beverly Tubb, Heather Oregon and Patty Tennyson, I can’t thank you enough. This book scared the crap out of me in that it wasn’t my usual genre, but your words of encouragement and awesome critique gave me the courage to keep going. I love you ladies dearly. Thank you!
Thank you to my amazing cover designer Amy Q. You little bad ass, you! Thank you for sharing your gift with me and reading my mind!
To my girls from Wrapped in Reading Patty, Mel and Dee. You are seriously the most amazing group of ladies. Thank you for being the women you are and for your unconditional friendship. I’m so lucky to have my three fairy godmothers in my life.
Thank you, Edee, my editor extraordinaire, for all that you do and the friend that you are. Fist bump soul sister. We finished another one. XO
Juliana Cabrerra, you make me a better human. I love you with all my wicked heart. I love that you know me as well as you do and still speak to me.
To my dear friend, Christine Stanley, I can’t even believe what a golden person you are. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. I’m lucky as hell to call you friend. I love that you call me on my bullshit. I’m so thankful that you look out for me. I love you.
Thank you to all the bloggers for doing what you do. With so many books to choose from, I’m honored anytime you give my words a chance. I appreciate every single one of you. XO
Thank you to my Texas and South Carolina families for your love and support.
And a huge thank you to my husband, Nick, for being the safe, soft place to land. I can’t believe your enduring love and that you haven’t smothered me with a pillow yet. ;)

“The cost of the rings alone is sickening to me. Let’s say the happy, yet delusional couple, waits until they finish college. They are more than likely in debt up to their eyeballs with student loans already. Then they go buy a ring that they can’t afford to start their ‘new lives' together, forever.’
“BUT WAIT, that’s not enough. Throw a last hoorah with all of their friends in Vegas with booze and strippers. I mean what says undying, everlasting love and faithfulness like lap dances and used up snatch picking $20 bills off someone’s face?
“Then all of a sudden they wake up the next day and are never going to want it again? Yeah, right. Let me ask you, when is the last time you ate just one double stuff Oreo cookie?
“Don’t kid yourself that eating just the cream inside isn’t cheating, eating is cheating.
