Favorite Quotes:

I would’ve rather massaged a porcupine than talked to him.
Getting relationship advice from him is about as smart as taking a bath with a toaster.
My Review:
I have a new favorite author! I gleefully hummed and wiggled in my chair as I savored this delightfully amusing and witty tale. Perusing this one was so much fun! The writing style was well-paced with the perfect combination of sass and sizzle wrapped in generous lashings of clever snark and razor-sharp banter. I need more of this in my life.
Hazel James owes her writing career to her 12th grade English teacher, who wrote, “You should consider a career in writing” on the top of her short story. As a kid who grew up bringing books to the dinner table, Hazel took that advice to heart and became a journalist in the Army.
Hazel is best known for her military romance novels, which weave in pieces of her husband’s Army career and journey with PTSD. Connecting with readers and promoting the importance of mental health awareness will always be the biggest highlight of her career.
Hazel lives in Tampa Bay, Florida with her husband and three children. When she’s not writing, she can be found knee-deep in a DIY project (usually accompanied by 90s music and a Diet Coke).
