The Book

Laine Rodriguez has mastered the art of spontaneity—even if it means changing her NYU major four times. After six years of searching for herself, she’s finally one class away from earning her degree. But when she barges into her Shakespeare class weeks late, she doesn’t expect her new TA, the serious and structured Sutton Davis, to be her toughest challenge yet.

Sutton doesn’t have time for distractions. Between earning his master’s degree, working toward his dream job, and staying one step ahead of his past, his life is as meticulously planned as his color-coded calendar. But Laine—chaotic and completely captivating—throws his world off-balance. As tutoring sessions turn into late-night ramen runs and spontaneous karaoke duets, Sutton finds himself drawn to her in a way that threatens to unravel everything.

When Sutton is called back to his family’s ranch for his estranged brother’s wedding, Laine offers to be his fake girlfriend so he doesn’t have to show up single. Despite the complicated dynamics of the Davis family, the trip seems like the perfect escape from Laine’s own uncertainties. But pretending to be in love with Sutton proves harder than she imagined—because the more time they spend together, the less pretend it feels.

Untruly With You is a mild spice, fade-to-black romance.

The Author

I’m in the business of making people feel good through lovable characters, swoony heroes, and happily ever afters.

I started my writing journey as a playwright in my parent’s living room, directing my fellow preschool peers in a fresh retelling of Cinderella. It received rave reviews. Now, I write witty and fresh contemporary romance that’s guaranteed to make you smile.

Book Review

Untruly With You is the second book in the Wonderings series but can definitely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

Right from the very start, Sutton and Laine's characters absolutely drew me in--- they were both such wonderful characters that I couldn't help but enjoy and had an effortless chemistry that had me rooting for them. Don't let the cover fool you into thinking this is just a lighthearted romance though... while there were certainly many moments that kept me smiling throughout, it was also a very emotional read and took on some harder topics like grief, anxiety, depression and complicated family dynamics. There was definitely more depth to the story than I would have expected based on the cover and blurb... but in the absolute best way possible. I thought there was such a great balance between those more lighthearted and swoon-worthy moments to those more emotional and tender ones, working together to create a beautiful romance I couldn't help but enjoy. 

Untruly With You is a closed-door romance. It does have some innuendo and minor language throughout.
