Book Men Got Real Men Nervous 👀
For every woman who ever wondered if the love she wanted only existed in fiction.
The Fiction That Spoiled Us
There’s a reason you still blush when a fictional man kisses her like she’s air and answers her phone calls like they’re lifelines. It’s not just the fantasy. It’s the effort.
Book men show up. They see the woman. Hear her. Protect her. Grow for her. They be in therapy by chapter eight and emotionally available by ten. 😂
And maybe you’ve heard, “That’s just fiction.”
But maybe… it’s not. Maybe we’re just not accepting less anymore.
Because you’ve cried on real pillows from real men who couldn’t lift a finger. And then you’ve cried over fictional men who moved mountains. And it wasn’t about being “too sensitive.” It was about realizing you’ve never been loved out loud like that.
So no, you’re not asking for too much. You’re just finally recognizing what it looks like when a man is ready.
The Dance – The Book Bae Who Doesn’t Miss
When Roman meets Laura in The Dance, he’s not trying to replace her ex. He’s just a man who sees her.
Even when Laura can’t see herself.
He doesn’t need to be convinced she’s worthy. He doesn’t minimize her heartbreak or rush her healing. He just shows up with patience, consistency, and a little sexy side-smirk that makes her knees wobble in the middle of cardio class
Roman is the kind of book man who might walk away when he’s scared, but he comes back when it matters.
Not with apologies. With action.
Not with promises. With proof.
Because a real one doesn’t just stay.
He returns stronger.
The Reason I Wrote This
Let me tell you something real: I didn’t fall in love with love again because a man changed my mind.
I fell in love with love again because I changed mine.
After heartbreak, I thought the kind of love I wanted only existed in movies, in romance books, in the stories I kept rereading under the covers. But I kept writing those stories anyway—because they made me feel hopeful. And eventually, one of those stories stopped being fiction.
The man who loved me as I was…
Who didn’t flinch when I told the truth…
Who made me laugh again when I thought I forgot how…
That man is my husband.
But he didn’t rescue me.
He just met me where I already was—doing the work, choosing myself, and finally believing I deserved more.
Book men aren’t just fiction.
They’re a reminder.
Of how we want to be loved.
Of how we deserve to be loved.
Of how we will be loved—once we stop entertaining anything less.
The Dance drops October 7th.
Preorders open soon.

Because Roman?
He might stumble, but he shows up when it counts.
And when he loves you?
He doesn’t play about it.
