Happy for You is the third book in the Love and Family series but can be read as a standalone. The other stories in the series are great and I recommend them.The story is told in first-person, alternating between Felix and Mort. Felix has crushed on Mort for as long as he can remember. Mort is his brother’s best friend – or he was. Something happened and Mort left town.

Like all of the Anyta Sunday stories I’ve read this one has her famous slow-burn treatment. She takes her time revealing all of the bits and pieces for the story. Early on we learn that Mort has been gone for a year, that his relationship with his best friend is broken and that he wants to repair the damage done by his leaving. We also learn that his best friend’s brother, Felix is still in love with Mort while also being crushed that Mort left town without even saying goodbye. What we don’t learn for a while is why Mort left and this was a bit frustrating to me as a reader.

The chemistry between Felix and Mort is hot and when they finally let loose – watch out, the sex scenes about scorched my e-reader!

I had a little trouble telling whose chapter I was reading because both characters speak a lot in each one. It’s kind of a minor yet frustrating thing as I found myself going back and forth a bit to make sure I was on the right track. This kept me from giving it the 5 stars that I’ve given to most of her books.

The last two chapters in the book more than made up for any confusion I had about who was talking. The love between Felix and Mort really shines and left me with tingly, happy feelings for them.

Release Blitz Q&A with Anyta Sunday:

What is the significance of the title “Happy For You”?

AS: This book’s all about happiness – where to find it for ourselves, how to make others happy, and how to live with the fact that we can’t make everyone around us happy. Mort and Felix have to learn it the hard way: if they’re both only trying to make others happy, they’ll lose sight of themselves. They have to find their own happiness first to finally be happy together.

What were the key challenges you faced when writing this book?

AS: While every book has its own challenges, this one was special because it features a large family that wanted to have ample space on the page. To give all of them their rightful place was not easy, but they all demanded to be heard ☺ This spring and summer, when I worked on “Happy For You”, was also a time of transitions for my family – from my son changing schools to me transitioning to a new diet, so finding time for the book wasn’t always easy.

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with your readers about?

AS: I am always working 😀 At the moment, I’m diving back into astrology and star signs, and tackling book 5 in the “Signs of Love” series. A Cancer and an Aquarius are the lucky couple in this one, and I’m already having so much fun with them. It’s quite emotional, but just like all the other SoL books, also full of banter and romantic comedy!

Where do you draw inspiration from?

AS: Inspiration is all around – walking the streets, seeing a couple interact at the café, getting a lovely message from my husband. So many things can spark an idea, like a smell that brings back a memory or a piece of music that becomes alive in my head. I try to soak it all in and scribble it down as soon as possible.

Do you have any new series planned?

AS: There are a few ideas currently swirling in my head, and I never know how they’ll finally arrive on the page. One series idea I just cannot stop thinking about is what I call the “Love Shack” in my head. A beachside house that brings different roommates together, always sparking new misadventures and love stories! Another idea is a cozy, super sweet and romantic mystery. But whatever series comes next, you can be sure it’ll be full of slow burn romance!

Prize: Enter to win one complete paperback set of the Love & Family series: Taboo for You, Made for You, and Happy for You, or, one of three e-books of Happy for You. Prizes are open internationally. Must be 18 to enter and win.

I’m a big, BIG fan of slow-burn romances. I love to read and write stories with characters who slowly fall in love. Some of my favorite tropes to read and write are: Enemies to Lovers, Friends to Lovers, Clueless Guys, Bisexual, Pansexual, Demisexual, Oblivious MCs, Everyone (Else) Can See It, Slow Burn, Love Has No Boundaries. I write a variety of stories, Contemporary MM Romances with a good dollop of angst, Contemporary lighthearted MM Romances, and even a splash of Fantasy. My books have been translated into German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Thai.
