Hey yāallā¦ Happy Friday!š
FridayĀ FavesĀ is a little meme where I can post some of my absolute favorite book related topics, including various tropes, awesome heroes/heroines, bad boys, bookish stuff and wellā¦Ā WHATEVER!
*REMEMBER:Ā All the books featured on Friday Faves are books that I have read and adored at some point unless specifically noted!
THIS MONTHāS THEME:
Popular Authorās First Book
We all have our āUnicorn Authorsāā¦ those authors that we return to time and time again. Our favorite series or those that get an automatic ONE CLICK on Amazon before we even read the synopsis of the book! I definitely do and it seems Iām always finding new and awesome authors. Sometimes Iām lucky enough to find these unicorn authors at the beginning of their literary journey but mostly, I end up picking up a book without really knowing reading orders or other books that have come before. So letās take a peek at some popular authors and their very first published work!
P.S. I have NOT read many of these books!

“COME TO AMERICA. YOUR HOME IS WITH ME NOW.”
Adelia Cunnane’s uncle had written her. So Adelia had left Ireland to join him on what he had described as the finest horse farm in Maryland.
Adelia agreed with her uncle about the farm. But what should she think about its owner, Travis Grant?
She knew that he could master his strongest horse. She had seen his eyes soften at the birth of a foal. Yet his lips on hers demanded a submission that she was not yet ready to give — at least not until he had spoken the words she had to hear.
