This is such a cute concept!! I love that you made them Heated Rivalry fans too (as they should be!!) Also yes, I do wanna see what the Moonie's characters are up to!

I humbly petition you to do these updates every year and to definitely let us know what the Moonies crew are up to! This was a goddamn delight.

Well this was an absolute treat! Thank you so much for it, I absolutely loved knowing what everyone has been up to AND a little bit of extra Heated Rivalry love thrown in as a bonus. Can't wait for the new book to come out!

HR wasn’t originally part of this (even if I have genuinely been thinking about my Alexei while watching) but then a reader mentioned to me how they thought my characters would be enjoying it too…and after that, honestly it brought this to a whole other level for me, haha

I especially can’t stop thinking about Ben & Julie’s HR chat now. True friendship shit

ahhh thank you SO much for this, it was just wonderful to picture these characters living their imperfect but happy lives together!!! this paranthetical in particular made me snort laugh: "Sorry to bring Russell Vought into this made-up world; I know, I’m a sick fuck."

them: we love romance because it's such an escape!

me, for absolutely inexplicable reasons: hahaha i'll show you!!

Alicia Thompson's avatar

ahh but your books ARE an escape, because you present a world where people care so deeply about each other, which a) allows us to escape into that kind of a world which is not always the one we see outside our windows and b) allows us to believe that that kind of world is possible
