My universe starts with Ms. Fortune. This is a prequel novella to the Accidental Lovers series and leads into a serial trilogy (meaning 3 books about the same couple that need to be read in order). Many of my future series planned and ongoing stem from characters and places in this series. And right now, Ms. Fortune is free when you sign up for my newsletter.
For the Accidental Lovers series — yes, Book 2 picks up where Book 1 ends. Secret Second Chances is a standalone novella in the Nerd in Love series. All books can be read in any order.
On Nerdy Romantics Podcast, I give a heat level to books from 1-5 chili peppers. Mine are coming in at around a 3. I usually have a few sex scenes in each novel, maybe 1-2 in each novella, and they are open door scenes. However, I don’t use overly graphic language, detailed physical description, or a lot of slang terms. If there is cursing, it’s usually mild (like current prime time TV).
Yes — every book has a QR code and link inside at the beginning that lists content warnings and triggers. These are also on each book’s page here. Reader comfort is a priority. Full warnings are listed at https://ymnelson.com/trigger-warnings by series.
