I wish I had physical copy just so I could throw this book across the room. What a freaking roller coaster!

WOW! I’ve never read books by any other author that leaves my mind blown & jaw on the floor like JT’s does.

Surprisingly I had the sinking feeling in my stomach that she was imagining James & having a mental breakdown. But the plot twist of the epilogue:

I really enjoyed this book. However, the type of “twist” in it is not my cup of tea, so I give it 4 stars. I was actually angry..

Olivia is a writer running from heartbreak, looking for inspiration (and maybe a little peace) in Paris. Enter James—a mysterious, swoony artist with secrets of his own. What starts as a sizzling vacation fling turns into an emotional rollercoaster I did not see coming.


J.T. Geissinger is the queen of plot twists, and this book delivers them with a punch. I was hooked, gutted, and completely obsessed. One of those reads that lingers long after the final page.


Tropes you’ll find:

💋 Strangers to lovers

✍️ Writer heroine

🎨 Artist MMC

🌆 Vacation fling

🏠 Forced proximity

🎭 Hidden identities

💔 Grief & healing

🗝️ Big secrets


⚠️ Trigger Warnings: grief/loss, death of a child, mental health struggles


This one hurts, but it’s worth every tear. Add it to your TBR—you won’t regret it.

I have no words just

Erotica & Thriller

Perfect Strangers is the erotica/thriller I never knew I needed. We follow the main characters' path of writing her novel with many very steamy scenes.
