It took me a while, but I'm mostly caught up. <3

You're so good at romance and your couples are so sweet. It's not a genre I normally deal with, so I'm impressed by how well you pull on your readers' heartstrings in that way. I loved all the wedding bits. The screenshot of Liberty saying that she found a ring Matteo had been preparing for her right after the honeymoon shots for Danielle and Londyn was perfect.
Now that the honeymoon is over, I'm happy to see Danielle and Londyn progressing in their careers, except, of course, Danielle is being punished for wanting to publish sapphic novels. ☹ I'm glad that Londyn is there for her and to help her fight back. Far too often people in marginalized positions don't have enough leverage to do anything. They have to get paid to live and/or support their families, so they would have to apologize to Faith and then promise to right two hetero romances. If they were lucky, they could try to convince her that a sapphic romance would be great for business because of X, Y, Z … and beg that couldn’t they please do it if the two stories are great hits. It's nice when there's someone with relative privilege who can just say no, stand up for what's right, and opt out of playing those games because they can afford to take the hits.
