  8. Just finished F5F book 1 last night and started on book 2. And I’m confused. Ty is marrying Amy? What happened to Shannyn?

    Like

    1. Which version of book two did you read?

      The original book one for F5 was Simply Irresistible, and the heroine was Amy. I rewrote that book for various reasons and the new series starter for F5Fitness is Just One Fake Date. Book #2 was Addicted to Love, but was revised with Shannyn as Tyler’s partner to be Just One More Time. If you stick with the “just” titles (and the Flatiron Five Fitness series name), it will all be consistent. If you bought older versions before starting to read, that’s okay too: you can download the “Just” updates free from your portal of choice.

      I hope that helps! If you’ve found a typo, please let me know.

About Me
USA Today bestselling author Deborah Cooke, who also writes as Claire Delacroix

I’m Deborah and I love writing romance novels that blend emotion, humor, and happily-every-after. I’ve been publishing my stories since 1992 and have written as Claire Delacroix (historical and fantasy romance), Claire Cross (time travel romance and romantic comedy) and myself (paranormal romance and contemporary romance). My goal is to keep you turning the pages, no matter which sub-genre you prefer.
