Sarah Smith | Author-Reader Match: THE CLOSE-UP
Author Guest / April 5, 2022

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Sarah Smith!   Writes:  I write sweet and sexy romcoms featuring Filipino-American MCs. In THE CLOSE-UP, media editor Naomi gets drunk at a bar and swears off relationships forever after dumping her cheating ex. She hits on a random hot guy named Simon who happens to be the famous cam guy she lusted after in college. She’s so shocked to see him that she vomits on his shoes before running off. The next day she finds out, much to her embarrassment, that she’s been assigned to film an online series about him (he’s a couples therapist now). The two try to navigate professional boundaries, but their attraction is undeniable, and they can’t help but give in to it.   About: Let’s cut to the chase. You’re aching for something funny and filthy to read, right? Well, look no further because I’m the author for you. My books will have you laughing one minute and fanning yourself the next. It’s a guaranteed…

When I blink, I don’t see Callum anymore. Every muscle in my body is relaxed, free of tension at the thought. Soon I’m asleep. It’s deep and hard and everything good. Until I start to dream. *** Dream Callum is a million times nicer than real-life Callum. Dream Callum spoons me from behind, my absolute favorite. How did he know? He presses his clothes-free body against mine, a perfect shell for my hot and bothered self. None of this is real. That doesn’t make it any less divine. He wraps his arms around me. They’re so thick that when pressed against me, they cover most of my naked chest. Leaning back, I groan. “You like that?” he asks. I nod a yes, then moan again. Those thick lips press against the back of my neck. “What do you want, Nikki?” When his voice is this low, this gentle, it makes my eyes roll to the back of my head. The hottest sound in the world is Callum’s English…

Once these two finally get their happily ever after, they’ll be spending loads of time in the bedroom, as any newly in-love couple would. But that doesn’t mean cooking will be put on the backburner. Nikki would figure out a way…
