Beyond Expectations

Born and raised in the multicultural, diverse, and bustling city of London, I now reside on the peaceful East Sussex coast single handedly raising my two children, and getting lost in the world of books, whenever I get the chance to.Creativity has always been in my blood, whether it be musical theatre, acting, Opera singing or writing.When I was nine years old I wrote a poem that got published and ever since I have always found solace in writing down my imaginative stories.My grandparents are from Barbados, Montserrat, Austria, and Italy, and despite growing up in a multicultural family, I always felt unseen and unrepresented when reading my favourite books.And after many frustrated years of never reading romance stories about main characters that looked like me or those around me, I finally decided that instead of waiting and hoping for such books, I should go and write them myself.And have now vowed only to write about multicultural and interracial romances with characters coming from all over the world.My greatest joys are my children, cooking, adding books to my ever growing home library, researching which tattoo I should next add to my collection, falling for amazing book boyfriends and of course creating new worlds with my own books that I can't wait to share with you.My debut novel, an Interracial Contemporary Romance is the first in a series of interconnected standalone's.

This book was incredible!! You honestly would not believe this is a debut. A beautiful interracial romance that’s deliciously spicy! You can tell that a piece of the author went into this story and I’m so very glad I got the chance to read it.This is so authentic, so brutally honest in places and just a joy to read.Serena is a successful lawyer who also loves playing around with and fixing cars. She’s built her own firm and is a strong and brave woman who has been hurt in the past and is scared to let love in.Rhett is from a privileged background, will eventually be taking over his father’s company and is the complete opposite to Serena. He comes from a family who have outdated and snobbish views on people of other ethnicities, although he himself doesn’t share them! Let me say here..Verity needs to take a long walk off a short pier.I loved that Rhett misjudged Serena to begin with and was knocked on his butt when he realised that the beautiful woman he’d been fantasising over was smart, driven and not taking any crap!Their story was heartbreaking in places, I actually sobbed my little heart out, and in certain places I wanted to throw my book in anger at some characters bigoted views!They were explosive together, sparks flew from the get go and they go through so much that by the time we got to the end I was whooping and cheering at his grand gesture.This book was beautifully written and even though what they go through shouldn’t still be happening in this day and age, it showed that true love can literally overcome any obstacle and won’t be stopped by anyone who judges a person by the colour of their skin or how they were born and raised.This is what romance should be..two humans who want to be together doing so regardless of what anyone thinks. If we are lucky enough to find true love, no matter who it’s with, no matter what race or gender, we should grab it with both hands because life is too short to do otherwise!""The message was clear and strong without taking away from the characters story or feeling heavy. The story was beautiful and well written""I loved this story. Rhett and Serena had instant chemistry and had so much in common that a relationship between them was inevitable and so was the complications. Rhett was a loner who dealt with so much family pressure and a complicated relationship with his family and Serena was loving and had a close relationship with her family but was cautious with relationships and was dealing with abandonment issues. Rhett and Serena together were such a power couple and better together than apart. The family and friends all had prominent roles in their lives which helped them through see one of their relationships issues. Definitely recommend reading this book. Loved it."
