Love on the Highlight Reel (Connecticut Kings Book 2) (41 page)

Acknowledgements

I’m really,
really
bad at this part. Once I’ve gone through getting all the words down to tell the story, it’s almost like I’ve used up my supply, and don’t really know what to say.

So I’ll keep it short.

Thank you, God, for what I feel is a gift of storytelling and a vivid, perhaps overactive, imagination. I’m honored to be used in a way that gives people a little reprieve, some light in what can often be a very dark world.

Thank you to my bae, Love Belvin, for being an absolute joy to work with on this project. I think that the genuine depth of our friendship allowed the parts that overlapped to a breeze, and your support and feedback and commentary and listening ear has been so,
so
appreciated throughout this project. I’m excited to see what develops next!

To my family – my wonderful husband, my kids, my friends – thank you for being patient and understanding with me. Making sure I got out of the house, and ate, and just for loving on me, and keeping me tethered to the real world while I was drowning in this fictional one.

To my amazing friends and beta readers, who have provided excellent feedback throughout the creation and development of this project, thank you for your eagle eyes and strong opinions and king words along the way. Your input helps me know that I’m on the right track, and keeps me from believing it too much when the voice of negativity tries to convince me this is gonna be the book everybody hate
s
.

To my readers, I can’t say thank you enough. In a world that consistently tries to persuade us that black lives, love, and romance don’t matter, YOU are the force that stamps that down. Every page read, every download, every review says that you care. Says that
this
story, these characters, their relationship,
matters.

For me, that holds unlimited value.

Thank you.
