About the author

Hey I'm K.J., a Midwest native who has been obsessed with the written word ever since consuming the entirety of the Nancy Drew collection. My favorite genre is anything romance: mystery, fantasy, cozy and dark.
I live in Minnesota with my husband, two kids, and our pitbull rescue.
My debut novel Love and Bruises is coming out August 2024. It is a contemporary enemies-to-lovers romance with spice, mystery, and murder. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Such an amazing way to end the series! Toni is such a cool FMC, and I loved how protective and determined she was. I think she was my favorite character in the series! I always love how KJ Ersti ties the books together too. Definitely a fun read and a solid third book!

I enjoyed the way the story developed between Toni and Bryce and how they slowly got to know each other and their trauma. The chapters looked at the past of the two characters to help me learn more about their backstory. I also liked the mix of the romance and the mystery and suspense part of the story.

An interesting story that I was able to plough through.
This is Bruce and Toni's story.
It is the story of how they met and their relationship developed. Both with huge personal problems to overcome.
Can they mesh their two lives together?
