* * * Grab the first three books in one boxed set* * * 

The Summer Lake series is sweet n steamy, small town romance with a focus on fun, friendships and happily ever afters. It follows a group of friends from a small lakeside town in the California hills. They have kept in touch over the years and now, in their early thirties, their lives are drawing them back to Summer Lake and to each other. 

In Love Like You've Never Been Hurt, you'll meet Jack and Emma. He wants to give her forever - the trouble is, she doesn't believe in forever anymore. 

In Work Like You Don't Need the Money, you'll meet Pete and Holly. He doesn't have room for a woman in his life - only in his bed – the trouble is, once he gets her into his bed he can't get her out of his mind. 

And in Dance Like Nobody's Watching, you'll meet Missy and Dan. He's a quiet, shy, tech genius whose success in life should make him happy – the trouble is, it doesn't. She's a broke single mom who talks too much - being around her makes him happy. 

This book is intended for adult readers 18+

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed these stories and cannot wait to read more about the friends and relatives around Summer Lake. They have each experienced heartaches, disappointments, soared to the heights and crashed to the bottom. The trials they face are believable, and the traumas painful, just as it is in real life.

I have to admit, I stumbled upon these books when looking for a light-hearted, feel good romance. And boy am I glad that I did!!!! What an amazing writer, to write stories that are filled with laughter and joy, pain and heartache, but so much love you can't wait to see where you'll end up next. I also strongly believe in the semicolon project..... I myself am going to get it tattooed on me to remind myself that I am not a completed sentence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing these stories & I am going out to buy the rest asap :-)

It was such an amazing journey and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city joining a group of true friend on a journey of love. SJ, thank you for sharing this beautiful story awakening my childhood believe in happily ever afters.

About the author

 Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I  can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.

I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
