California Promises

A Sweet Friends to Lovers Romantic Comedy

Beschreibung

How can you be totally, absolutely, completely, brutally honest when you can't even admit the truth to yourself? It is much easier for Charlie Sands to hide behind the lie she's told herself since the day she met Greyson: a guy like that could never love a smartass tomboy like her. Greyson Steele knows, no matter how often his mind drifts towards lust for his best friend, she deserves a guy who can keep up with her lightning fast mind. And that guy would never be him. When they both start blowing past the walls they've erected over the years, they may just upend everything they believe about the difference between friendship and love. In an angsty, friend-to-lovers romance about a brilliant, surfing tomboy and her anxious, fireman best-friend, Erin Spineto, author of Islands and Insulin, spins another "Inspiring tale of being just the right balance of strong and vulnerable." You'll love the hilarious, double-dating summer goal, breezy escape to the beaches of San Diego and Maui, and fantastic group of friends. California Promises is the first in the Warrior Women Series, a RomCom series full of female surfers who happen to have diabetes and other autoimmune issues and the men who are strong enough to be with a warrior woman. This is an #ownvoices story for its portrayal of type 1 diabetes by an author with type 1 diabetes.

Autor

Erin Spineto started her writing journey in 2011 with Islands and Insulin, her memoir of sailing solo 100 miles down the Florida Keys with type 1 diabetes back in a time when doctors were foolish enough to recommend against this kind of wild adventure with diabetes. She followed it up a few years later with Adventure On, a nonfiction book on using adventure to increase motivation to take care of chronic conditions like diabetes. Since then she has moved on to fiction and is currently working on Warrior Women, a three-book angsty RomCom series full of female surfers who happen to have diabetes and other autoimmune issues.Erin's journey with autoimmune conditions started in 1996 with type 1 diabetes. She added hyperthyroidism to the mix in 2007, and has rounded out her collection with a little Anti-Synthetase Syndrome, which she thinks is so appropriately abbreviated ASS. Not letting anything slow her down, Erin is also a long-distance endurance adventurer and autoimmune advocate who uses stories to encourage others with chronic illness to go big. Erin started surfing at age five when she stood up on her boogie board and realized waves were so much more fun to ride standing up. Since then she has had a love affair with empty beaches, warm water, and a post-surf lunch of fish tacos and Diet Dr Pepper (though she's had to give that up to fight the ASS) eaten on a patio in the sun with her own real life hero, Tony, and their two surfing teenagers.
