Book 1 of series!

Book 1 of The Good Ones Series! Everything Good That Happened is available on KU and it’s on audio also!

Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything that has happened. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex's whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.

Fate intervenes when Sydney's cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better... until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs, slowly crumbles as Will's easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective.

In a whirlwind of yearning hearts, family drama, and a rescue bull, Sydney and Will try to keep things platonic, but they're only one stolen kiss away from falling for each other completely. #closeddoorromancebooks #indieauthor #singlemomromancebooks #romancebooktok #bookwormsoflemon8

8/7 Edited to

... Read moreReading "Everything Good That Happened" felt like stepping into a cozy small town where intimate emotions and everyday struggles intertwine beautifully. The closed-door romance aspect really adds a layer of depth—it’s about more than just physical attraction; it highlights emotional healing and trust-building, which feels authentic and refreshing. As a reader who appreciates stories with good, cozy vibes, I found Sydney’s character particularly relatable. Being a single mom and navigating a new start after divorce resonates deeply with many, as does her initial reluctance to re-enter the dating world. This realistic portrayal of vulnerability and resilience made the story feel grounded and heartfelt. Will’s character, as a laid-back DJ with his own setbacks, complements Sydney’s journey well. His easy-going nature and gradual transformation because of Sydney’s influence add a compelling dynamic. It’s that slow-burn progression that keeps the romance believable and engaging without rushing into clichés. The inclusion of family drama and even a quirky rescue bull brings warmth and light humor to the story, enhancing the small-town atmosphere. It feels like joining a close-knit community where everyone’s stories matter. Furthermore, Michelle J.Mann’s ability to craft a closed-door romance—where the emotional connection takes center stage—is impressive. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy subtlety and depth rather than explicit scenes. For those searching for indie author gems, this book offers a charming escape into heartfelt storytelling. Overall, this book is a delightful start to The Good Ones Series, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves romances with emotional richness, strong female leads, and cozy, feel-good vibes.

hiiii everyone, I’ve noticed there isn’t much out there about book content creation as a job so I thought I’d do a series on my experience. No gatekeeping. And ONLY on Lemon8. I won’t be posting this content on any of my other platforms🤭🫣 First part is my numbers from this year so far. Quarter 1
