"Make Up Dates" by Kristen Barenthaler
Honestly, the idea was cute...
Grab a copy here! Write a Goodreads review here!
I thought I had a great idea here, but did I flush it out well enough is the real question? I enjoyed writing this one as a newbie author, but didn't really know what I was doing as a self-publisher (check out my article on self-publishing here). It's another YA, clean, easy romance.

"Falling Across the World" by Kristen Barenthaler
Grab a copy here! Write a Goodreads review here! I wrote this as a young adult (think like 17-18) and was clearly completely innocent on love, travel, and marriage. Don't hold it against me! It's a clean, innocent romance perfect for those just getting into the genre who want to avoid the more intense parts of relationships.
