ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We need to first thank our husbands, who were entirely supportive during this whole process. You let us write, and write, and write. And text each other . . . a lot. You are both pieces of Max and Adam. You are our pieces of perfect.

To Amanda—Thank you for so eagerly reading our first draft. Over and over. And over. Thank you for using your “Wet-O-Meter” to evaluate all of the hot scenes, and for giving us encouragement and some well-deserved criticism. “Gall” is definitely a word.

To Trish—Thank you for reading our book cover to cover in one night—even the part that wasn’t done and we told you not to read—because you couldn’t put it down. If anyone is a master of reading this genre, it’s you!

Most of all, we’d like to thank our readers! We hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as we’ve enjoyed writing it. And we hope you never go on a flight again without wishing for it to have a “happy ending.”

Lastly, we’d like to thank each other! What started as a crazy idea has quickly turned into a reality, and we couldn’t have done it without the other one pushing us to keep going.

To Hayley—
I can’t believe we wrote a friggin’ book! There are no words to properly convey how thankful I am to have gone on this journey with you. I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have done it with. Here’s to many more adventures together.

P.S. Is it bad that I keep looking at “done it with” and thinking that it’s inappropriate? lol

To Elizabeth—
We actually did it! Thank you for looking at all of my “first drafts” a million times until they finally made sense. And thank you for always writing late at night so I could read about orgasms first thing in the morning. It made me want to get up each day! This has been so insane and so fun. I can’t wait to keep writing with you!

P.S. No! My mind is perpetually in the gutter, especially now. That’s what makes me think we found our calling.
