My second book, "The Shortlist" was released last night and is now available on Blushing Books.com, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Barnes & Noble. My first review is in and it was 5 stars! Wow, what a fantastic Tuesday surprise. I'm humbled, sincerely.

It always takes about a day or so until the eBooks reached Amazon but I will add links and update as soon as it goes live. You can also follow me @bella_bryce to see when they go live and for my other updates and posts.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to reading constructive reviews.

I enjoyed the Solitsation very much and have been waiting for the follow up. The short list was good. I liked the sibling rivalry that developied between the two girls. There didn't seem to be as much development with Elizabeth. She was never a little and there was more about Alice. I thought there should be more between Elizebeth and Bennent. It seems to be a short time living with Bennent and then to courtship. Hopefully there will be a third book.

Hi Laurel,

Thank you for your comment and for reading my books, it’s fantastic to hear that you like the series!

I’m happy to explain a little insight to your comments/questions. Elisabeth doesn’t come from the same background as Alice and is a lot more mature, hence why Bennett never regressed her. He didn’t feel he needed to because she grew up quite quickly, being the caretaker for her parents and all. The Shortlist very much focuses on the redemption happening inside of Bennett; how he changes because of Elisabeth, softens slightly (but not too much!) Also, one must remember, that Bennett is 29 years old – he has been waiting, patiently, and watching many many many females at various social gatherings and inside his circle to find the right one for him. He’s obviously very picky and when he discovered Elisabeth was that girl, there was really no need for him to delay in expressing that he wished to court her. It just took him awhile because he is a man of conviction and didn’t want to blur the lines of their disciplinary relationship, until he realised he needed to say something or he could either lose her completely, or risk her never knowing.

I myself was 21 years old at my first kiss, my husband and I saw each other once and he bought me a ring. He proposed to me 3 months later and within 5 months we were married. I was like Bennett – I knew what I wanted and once I found him there was no need to delay. But alas, that was real life and this is fiction 

Thank you again, Laurel, for your feedback and comments. There is definitely a third book, which I’m working on fultime at the moment. There is more change, as there must be, because people need to develop and move on. The third book will also concentrate on Bennett and Elisabeth’s courtship partially, with the focus still being on Brayden and Alice.
