It's the first published book coming off the duet, and most people are chomping at the bits for that world. I knew this book would be compared. Wouldn't live up to Zade and Addie. Truthfully, my expectations were extremely low.
But I needed something... I don't know, lighter? I needed to start fresh. Something new and different for not only myself, but maybe readers, too.
There will be people who will see Enzo and Sawyer as lesser than, but in some ways, I find their story so much more bizarre and interesting. And I love them for that. To me, they're explosive.
They're not grumpy x sunshine, they're thunderstorm x lightning. Enzo is angry, and loud. And Sawyer is bright, yet destructive. Maybe it's just because I love storms, but they're perfect together.
I hope you all go into it with 0 expectations, and no comparisons in mind. And I hope you all enjoy their story, as much as you're able.
Anyway, thank you for being here. That's really all I could ask for....more
I'll start with honesty. This book destroyed me. And you may think because it is dark and twisted, but the true reasoning is because of the immense prI'll start with honesty. This book destroyed me. And you may think because it is dark and twisted, but the true reasoning is because of the immense pressure to make this one live it up to the first and to be frank, I was a little burnt out. It wrung every last blood, sweat, and tear from my body. And I believe I came out of the other side with something beautiful - a little jagged and imperfect, but beautiful all the same.
I know some may have wanted them to reunite sooner, but I felt like I would be doing an injustice to the realities of human trafficking. And to be blunt, if I was truly being realistic, she never would've been found at all. I truly felt her trials and tribulations were necessary for her development and transformation, and I'm so proud of who she became.
Some will say Hunting isn't a romance, but I will kindly disagree. Zade and Addie have an epic love story, and the journey back to each other may be long and hard, but that doesn't make their love story less than. And they certainly don't need physical intimacy to show how much they love each other. (Though there is still plenty of that.)
Thank you all for taking this journey with me. I know it's dark, and heavy, and these characters have gone through hell and back. But who they are now? I couldn't love them more.
If you enjoyed this one, take a gander to my next standalone, Does It Hurt? It's an enemies to lovers psych thriller, and I'm so very excited for you to meet Enzo and Sawyer!
Can you believe that I almost didn't write this book? Zade and Addie haunted me for over 2 years before I finally found the courage to write it. For tCan you believe that I almost didn't write this book? Zade and Addie haunted me for over 2 years before I finally found the courage to write it. For the first couple years, I hadn't even considered it. And then when I did, I immediately wrote it off, convinced no one would possibly want to read about a woman falling in love with her stalker. I thought, people would hate that! It took one friend encouraging me, and I took the plunge. Who knew I'd end up creating a character that has absolutely rocked worlds, especially my own...
