Kissing Madeline (Dearest #3) (43 page)

To my lovely former student Rachel... I'm so proud of your many accomplishments! Thanks for sharing what your life is like as a broadcast reporter. If I got any of the details wrong, it's all on me.

A big thank you to my betas, Alexis Durbin, Kristen Humphry Johnson, and Kristina Brooks. Your feedback was wonderful!

I also have to give a special shout out to Angie Owens and her eagle eye. Thanks for proofing this last minute!

Ass slaps and smooshy hugs to Doris Gray and Jullie Anne Caparas, who started the Dearest Series Fan Group. You two have done so much for me–scoured my books for excerpts, made me teasers, and helped me plan. You were the first to Out-Skank me... on Twitter no less. *tear* Thanks for the encouragement and endless laughs! I also have to thank the girls in my group for understanding my filthy mind and for being as twisted as I am. #ThatSkankLex loves you!

I really appreciate all of the friendships I’ve made with the #IndieChicksRock gang. Thanks for sharing so selflessly in the group. NAAU, I’ve learned so much from you.

Cristiane Karamanolis, thanks for all of your tweets and shares and endless love for authors. I feel lucky to know you.

Tarah Lockard, your teasers are gorgeous. I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Kawehi Reviews, thanks for calling Veronica a slore. *giggle* It stuck with me and inspired that conversation Maddie has with Sheri at the beginning of the book. Thanks for being one of my earliest readers!

Jacqueline Russell, you’re a sweetheart for helping me with my promo!

Truly, I realize no one would read my books were it not for a few bloggers who picked up
Dearest Clementine
early on. Aestas, I can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on a new author. Lanie and the Bookaholic Fairies, you rock my socks. Dirty Laundry Review, you girls are peas to my carrots. Three Girls and a Book Obsession, this is where I snuggle you.

Hugs and hair pulling (the sexy kind) to my friends at The Literary Gossip, Smokin’ Hot Book Blog, Summer’s Book Blog, Teacups & Book Love, Owl Always Be Reading, Schmexy Girl Book Blog, One Click Addicts, Give Me Books, ByoB, Kylie’s Fiction Addiction, I Bookin’ Love to Read, Hopeless Book Lovers, Smut Fanatics, Smut Muffins, Book Baristas, Four Chicks Flipping, Restless Book Obsession, INDIEpendent Book Babes, The Smut Slut, Desert Divas Book Addiction, FMR Book Grind, Second Bite Book Reviews, Smut Bags, Books & Tea, Once Upon A Book Blog, Red Cheeks Reads, Lauren’s Book & Media Club, Bujoijoi22, Typical Distractions Book Blog, Literary Misfit, Painful Reads, Hopeless Book Lovers, BookCrushin.in, The Bookish Laurel, Little Read Riding Hood, The Never Ending Book, Reads, Calloway Books, Shelley & Courtney, Turning Pages at Midnight, Starbooks, Megpie’s Book Blog, Read Review Repeat, and One More Chapter. I know so many more bloggers have posted my cover reveals and promos and sales and teasers. If I could smother you all in kisses, I would.

A huge thanks to Natalie at Love Between the Sheets for doing the promo for all three of my books. You’re the best, Nat!

Lastly, to my readers… Thanks for reading my books and for all of your messages and tweets. It’s bittersweet to come to the end of this series. This is the last full-length novel for Clem, Jax, and Daren as their stories have been told. However, since I’ve received so many messages about Jena and Ryan, I wanted to let you know that I’m hoping to write a companion novella for them. And there might be something special down the road for Brady. I think he’s deserving of a spin-off, so keep your eyes peeled for more news!

 

xoxo,

Lex
