Buckle Up - episode 6 Read online

  “Thing is, I can’t concentrate on the driving. This is precisely why I don’t get serious with people. I can’t allow my head to be smashed to smithereens. I know I want him, but I’m not built to wrestle with all this ambiguity. I don’t have the capacity. Too much of me is already devoted to my job.”

  “Now, Elliott, you stop that. There is something pretty special about you and Kyle that’s why he’s managed to get you into such a state. Don’t you dare give up on this because of a career which has a finite end date.”

  I hear her, but I’m not sure whether I agree. My heart and my head are colliding and I guess I’ll just have to stand back and see which one is the louder as the week progresses.

  Hi Everyone

  Welcome to my new, Buckle Up series, a MM erotic romance. My readers are constantly nagging me to release quicker, so I’m trying something new here as there’s only so many words a girl can write a minute. I’m going to be releasing this series in sections.

  You’ve got the brand new, episode 6 here, and then every few days as I get another section finished, you’ll be able to download it from on Amazon.

  When I get to the end of a novel length, I’ll bundle all the episodes together, so if you’d prefer to read a traditional book format, that’s the one for you.

  If you can’t wait, then grab episode 7 here and also, if you sign up to my newsletter, I’ll tell you when the book is out as well as the next in the Naked series that I’m also working on at the same time. Plus, for your trouble, I’ll also give you an exclusive free interview with Elliott, one of your two co-stars in this Buckle Up series.

  I mentioned the Naked series briefly, I know, it’s a bit forward, telling you about my other books before I’ve given you a chance to read this. But hey, it’d be remiss of me to miss an opportunity. Where’s a struggling author going to break even if I don’t at least give you the chance to check out my other titles? So here goes:

  Please review

  Until I started writing, I never left a review, that time was a piece of my life I’d never get back, and what did it matter, anyway?

  Wrong!

  Reviews are so important, I can’t explain. Without masses of positive reviews, our books don’t get the exposure they could because Amazon doesn’t think readers engage with them. Why would they push something that isn’t that interesting? And so, they drop down the listings on produce pages and all our hard work stagnates in a pile at the bottom of the rankings with minimal exposure if any.

  Plus, and I didn’t appreciate this myself until later, if a book doesn’t have enough reviews, it’s impossible to get on some of the best book advertising platforms because, they too use this as a gauge to judge whether it will bring in enough revenue.

  So, long story short, if you enjoyed this, please, please, please leave a positive review.

  Thank you x
