Reviews
Praise for The Guilt of WantingWhat Early Readers Are Saying: ""I'm all done with The Guilt of Wanting: ) What an amazing book! So honest and real. Well done!"" - JL Early Reader""You control the tempo like a master. The emotional pacing is deliberate, devastating, and earned-never sensationalized, never rushed. I trusted the author completely."" - IP Early Reader""This is the kind of chapter that makes people forget they're on public transport. The pacing is ruthless in the best way. Every beat lands exactly when it's supposed to. Tight, mean, and delicious."" - BR Early reader""Devastating. Intoxicating. Impossible to put down. One of the bravest, most honest depictions of sexual trauma and its aftermath I've ever read in romance. I've never felt more protective of a fictional character in my life. Lydia feels painfully real-heartbreaking, complicated, and unforgettable. You took me from orgasm-high to soul-crushing loneliness in one seamless drop. I was emotionally invested on a cellular level. Every paragraph earns its place and moves the story or the emotion forward."" - MV Early Reader""I wasn't expecting to get this emotional. This book made me feel seen-like things I've carried alone were finally brought into the light. It's raw, deep, and incredibly powerful. This book felt like therapy. It brought things to the surface I don't even talk about out loud. The raw emotion is undeniable. I loved how the sentence structure shifts to mirror panic and self-gaslighting. The emotional execution is so intentional and effective."" - GC Early reader
