The Perfect Play cover reveal

categories: cover love, doing what you love, NA, New Adult, O'Brien Brothers, Romance, self-publishing, The Perfect Play

Hi everyone!

The Perfect Play cover reveal is today, woop!!! Prepare yourself because: It. Is. Gorgeous. <3

This is book 2 of the Southern U O’Brien Brothers series. Chase & Charlie’s book, yayyy!

A new adult romance that’s sweet, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and totally romantic. Thank you to Stephanie Mooney who designed this beautiful cover!

I’m truly in love with it. Seriously can’t wait to share!

Sooo….

….here is the cover…

…for The Perfect Play!

Gah, I just think it’s so beautiful. Chase O’Brien is so swoon-worthy. I can’t even!

Seriously, though, don’t you just love it??? I’ve had this beauty since February, and I couldn’t share because I wasn’t finished with the book yet. The model is perfect for Chase (no pun intended ha!). That stare, the intense-yet-vulnerable look in his eyes…swoon. And then the gorgeous colors, title, and tagline set everything off.

I love it–and I hope you do, too :).

I hope it made you smile/swoon.

This book is truly one of my favorites I’ve ever written. Don’t get me wrong; I love ALL of my books.

But there’s something special about this one.

I love Charlie. I love Chase. I love them together, and oh, I had so much fun writing their story. ***This is a new adult sports romance recommended for readers 18+.*** If you love sexy-sweet stories featuring brothers guaranteed to make you swoon, I truly hope you’ll give The Perfect Play a chance!

Hope you are well and having an awesome weekend, bookworms!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

CUPCAKE cover reveal

categories: Be Yourself, cover love, Cupcake, Entangled Publishing, Romance, Wallflower, YA

It’s time, you guys!

The CUPCAKE cover reveal is today, yay!!!

This is my first #OwnVoices book.

It’s a swoony, sweet, hilarious YA romance.

It’s also the first book I’ve ever had traditionally published from start to finish. Thank you so much, Entangled Teen!

I’m so excited to share this beautiful cover created by Elizabeth Turner-Stokes!

Annnd without further ado…

…here’s the cover…

…for CUPCAKE!

Beautiful, right?!?

Ariel “Cupcake” Duncan is a seventeen-year-old girl who loves movies and baking. She also just happens to be plus-sized. When she gets nominated to Homecoming Court, Ariel is surprised–and reluctant lol. She absolutely doesn’t want to be a princess.

Then she’s paired with Rhys Castle. The popular quarterback is…complex, hot one minute, cold the next. Ariel doesn’t know what to think.

Sparks fly as they complete a ton of fun/hilarious/romantic Homecoming activities.

Spoiler alert: The curvy girl in this book doesn’t have to lose weight to get her happily-ever-after.

She loves herself, as she is.

And that is my favorite thing about the book <3.

I also love Rhys *swoon*, Ariel’s awesome relationship with her mom, her best friend & their talks, the friends she makes on the Court, and all of the Homecoming fun.

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, funny, and uplifting, I hope you’ll give CUPCAKE a try!

Hope you are staying safe and having a wonderful summer, bookworms!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S. CUPCAKE doesn’t officially release until November 2nd–but it’s already available for pre-order on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Google Play! Hooray!

P.P.S. WALLFLOWER is now available in paperback!!! I will most likely do another post about this later bc it’s a big deal, and I have pics to share, woop!

P.P.P.S. Be on the lookout for another cover reveal this Saturday! That one is for my upcoming NA romance The Perfect Play! <3 Can’t wait to share it with you!

New YA Romance Novella!

categories: cover love, doing what you love, fun, Goodreads, Romance, self-publishing, The Kissing Challenge, YA

Hi everyone!

I hope you’re doing well! I have a new book coming out soon, woohoo! It’s a YA romance novella called THE KISSING CHALLENGE!

If you’re subscribed to The Cookie Jar Newsletter you may have already seen this, but I wanted to post here as well!

Here is the swoon-worthy cover <333.

And here is the summary:

The challenge: Kiss your best friend.

Sixteen-year-old Anne Elliot is in love with Captain.

He’s been her best friend for years. A rising musician with a special smile he reserves just for her, Captain even lets Anne practice her makeup skills on him—though his bandmates give him flack for it.

When Anne gets an anonymous comment challenging her to kiss her best friend, it threatens to reveal her secret. But how can she resist doing the one thing she’s wanted forever? It’s just one kiss. She and Captain’s relationship can stay the same…right?

The real challenge: Kiss your best friend, and don’t let him know you’re in love.

This YA romance novella is fun, fast-paced, and flirty, the perfect story for anyone who loves best-friends-to-lovers. Inspired by TikTok & Jane Austen, THE KISSING CHALLENGE is sure to make you swoon!

Again, I’m so excited to share Anne & Captain’s story with all of you! It’s 20k words, full of YA romance goodness, and I hope it makes you smile and swoon :). You can add THE KISSING CHALLENGE on Goodreads–and I hope you will lol! A few people have added it, and just seeing that really made me glad.

I’ve been feeling kind of tired and down. September is always hard, but I’m trying to stay positive. If you’re struggling, I hope you are able to stay positive, too.

Most of my focus has been on a charity event that I founded and have organized for the past few years to raise awareness & funds for childhood cancer. If you wouldn’t mind, please cross your fingers that it all goes okay. I’d truly appreciate the good vibes.

I hope you are all well, my lovely readers! Virtual hugs and good karma to you! Stay safe out there!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

The BEST Book Mail!

categories: cover love, New Adult, O'Brien Brothers, Romance, self-publishing, The Best Mistake

Hi everyone!

I have some book mail to share with you today, yayyy!!!

The Best Mistake proof came, and it is gorgeous! Thank you so much to Sarah Hansen for her beautiful cover design! See pics below :).

The awesome cover! *swoons*

Lovely spine!

And wonderful back cover!

And of course, I had to get one (or three lol) of Archer O’Brien and me together! (Totally knew this mask would compliment the cover :))

I love the paperback SO much! Very excited with how it turned out and can’t wait to add it to my shelves! It’s going to look so gorgeous up there!

Also sidenote: I don’t love how KDP puts that not-for-resale line across the books–however it is nice to know the cover still looks amazing even with the line running across his mouth lol!

The Best Mistake paperback will be available on July 30, 2020!!! That’s right, you guys! The Best Mistake comes to print tomorrow (or today depending on when you get this), hooray!

Probably only like three people will want it–including myself ha!–but maybe more awesome readers will discover Honor, Archer and all of the O’Brien brothers in this new format <3. I hope so anyway!

Hope you’re all doing well, bookworms! Stay safe and healthy out there!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S. The Best Mistake paperback comes out July 30, 2020, YAYYYYYY!!! I can’t wait! 🙂

The Best Mistake cover reveal

categories: cover love, doing what you love, Goodreads, New Adult, O'Brien Brothers, Romance, self-publishing, The Best Mistake, Xpresso Book Tours

Hi everyone!

It’s time to reveal the cover of my new book, The Best Mistake! Ahhh, it’s so gorgeous, you guys! I hope you love it! <3 Sarah Hansen, the cover designer, is so incredibly talented! I’m very thankful to her for working with me and making it just…perfect. And thank you so much to Xpresso Book Tours for hosting the cover reveal!

I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting…

…so, here it is…

…FINALLY…

…the cover of my next book…

….my first New Adult sports romance…

The Best Mistake :).

Say hello to Archer O’Brien, everyone!

Isn’t he lovely? *sigh*

I so love this cover! Honestly, I can’t stop staring lol. And I’m so excited for you to meet Archer and all of the O’Brien Brothers (and their sister :D). Not to even mention, my main girl Honor, who is such an awesome, hilarious, smart, book-loving heroine!

In case you’d like to read the book summary, you can find it here! ***Again, this is not a young adult book. It is a new adult sports romance set in college and is intended for readers 18+.***

You can also now add The Best Mistake on Goodreads, hooray!!! And I hope you will! 10 awesome people have added the book so far, and that makes me so glad!

And seriously, we could all use a bit of happy.

This is such a scary, uncertain time. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. I’m there, too. Mostly, I’m scared for my loved ones. I don’t care about me. But I do not want to unknowingly get this disease, be asymptomatic and make anyone sick. It is one of my worst fears. I pray the spreading and suffering stops, that someone develops an anti-virus and people begin to recover, that things become less bleak and hope, wellness and most of all love makes a comeback.

Again, I think I write happy stories because the world can be so unbearably sad, and I, like so many others, are all too aware of that fact.

Sorry this got so serious. It seems odd to celebrate a cover reveal at a time like this–but I wanted to share it with you. My readers are so wonderful! I have no idea what everyone’s going through, but I truly hope this brings some joy to your day.

I hope you’re well, bookworms! I hope you stay well and find your happy wherever you can <3.

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

Happy V-Day!!!

categories: cover love, Romance, self-publishing, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, YA

Hi everyone, and Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

I know it’s all about the candy, cards and cute stuffed animals…but I got some awesome bookmail this week and wanted to share! See pic below, and prepare yourself for the pretty *__*.

That’s right, you guys!

The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad is coming to paperback next Monday (February 17th)!!!

Hooray! And it’s just in time (almost lol) for Valentine’s Day! <3

Love and romance are in the air, and I’m thinking of watching one of my favorite romcoms (speaking of which, check out this cool post I did a while ago for the Entangled blog on my Top 5 Teen Romance Movies <3). Also, maybe it’s because I’m a self-confessed bookworm, but it just seems like the perfect time to pick up a swoon-worthy romance :).

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S. Sadie & Colton’s story is going to be in paperback, yayyy!!!! I can’t wait! <333

categories: audiobook, cover love, Release Day, Romance, The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad, YA

Today is very special!

The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad audiobook releases today, yay!!! And my best friend/favorite person of all time was born on this day years ago!

When I found out TGGGTBB audiobook would release on September 30th, I was so excited. I didn’t actually get to pick the date; Tantor Media did, and I’m so glad they chose such a great one :).

Here’s the beautiful cover <3.

I love everything about it, of course! <333

And the narration of the audiobook! Wow! Madeleine Dauer, the narrator, was absolutely perfect for Sadie!!! When I first heard her voice, I knew she’d be wonderful, but then I listened to the sample of the audiobook. Oh my gosh, you guys! Her inflection, the emotion she managed to convey with her voice, the timing, it was so right on! I laughed out loud and smiled several times. Just brilliantly done!

If you love audiobooks and YA romance, you should definitely give The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad a listen!

Happy audiobook release day to TGGGTBB!!!

And to my best friend who I miss dearly every day: Happy birthday, Aunt Pat! I love you so much and wish you were here. It’s hard even on the good days being without you. You made every moment brighter and better, and I just miss you. I hope there are books, birthday cake, and all the best things up in Heaven. I love you always. Say hi to Mema & Papa, and kiss the babies for us. Love, Your Cookie.

Happy reading (and listening),

Cookie O’Gorman
