Book excerpt: She agreed to plan the party, but she never planned for love! Joey is turning thirty soon and there’s one thing she wants for her birthday: a huge party to celebrate living past the age her doctors told her she’d never see when she was a kid. And she knows just the person to help plan the big event: her friend and party planner Kelsie. Kelsie is one of Seattle’s most in-demand party planners. She loves her job. She also has a huge crush on her friend Joey, but that’s her little secret. She’s been in the friend zone with Joey ever since they met. The two women couldn’t be more opposite. Kelsie is a light-hearted extrovert – a ray of sunshine wrapped up in cute dresses and well-chosen lipstick. Joey is serious and introverted, spending most of her time gaming or working in her construction business. But their attraction is undeniable… Long days planning the perfect event soon turn into long nights wrapped up in each other’s arms. But a secret from Kelsie’s past comes to light, will their love withstand its first test? “My Party Planner” is book thirteen in the “Friends to Lovers” romantic novella series. Each book in the series is a steamy standalone featuring an LGBTQ couple making the leap from friends to lovers and looking for their "happily ever after".
