‘Gritty, raw, heart-wrenching. Perfection.’: Minding Their Manners reviews are in

by | Dec 21, 2021 | Neighborly Affection series

Only one week to go until the release of Minding Their Manners: Neighborly Affection Book 6!

I’m so excited I can hardly breathe. What makes it better is knowing how much the early reviewers are loving the book.

The Minding Their Manners reviews are overwhelmingly positive so far, and I couldn’t be happier. This was an incredibly emotional book to write, and it sounds like reading it is an all-the-feels experience too. But don’t let me speak for them—here’s what the reviewers on Goodreads are saying in their own words:

“…if you like cerebral kink without stressing over gender norms and expectations, and want to be left feeling good about what you have spent your time and money on, not just an empty calorie book, please continue reading this series and beg for more.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Minding Their Manners review, 5 stars: "Henry, Alice, and Jay are such beautiful, well-developed characters that they feel like old friends. I love watching their relationship grow and strengthen through happy moments and emotional struggles."

“Henry, Alice, and Jay are such beautiful, well-developed characters that they feel like old friends. I love watching their relationship grow and strengthen through happy moments and emotional struggles. The love and commitment that these three share is what dreams are made of….”
