If you have a friend who's a super-fan with KU, you could... borrow their login? Not that I'm advocating for sharing accounts, but it happens. Technically against Amazon's TOS, but it's a gray area people navigate. Obviously, the friend would need to trust you a lot. It's a social solution to a digital problem!

Considering how many books she has, I'd love it if her website had a dedicated 'Start Here' page with links to the first chapters of her most popular series. Some authors do that—a curated sampler of their own work.
It would be a fantastic resource for new readers overwhelmed by choice. Until then, we're left to the retailer previews, which are still pretty comprehensive, if a bit impersonal.

This feels like a good moment to shout out public libraries, honestly. Even if they don't have a physical copy, many use Libby/OverDrive. You can borrow the eBook, read the first few chapters immediately, and if you're into it, you can finish it. If there's a waitlist, you're at least in the queue. It's free, it's legal, and it helps with library funding stats. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

The emotional pacing is totally different. A preview can feel fast-paced and exciting because it's all setup and hook. The full edition has to deliver on that promise, develop the relationship, and handle the steamy scenes. Sometimes the full book feels slower in the middle because it's building tension. The preview is all tension, no release. So comparing them is like comparing the first climb of a rollercoaster to the entire ride. One is pure anticipation, the other is the whole loop-de-loop and drop. You need the full edition to judge the actual rhythm of the storytelling.

I see a lot of KU talk, which is valid. But also consider Scribd. It's not as comprehensive for super-niche indie romance, but it has a surprising amount. They also have a free trial. It's worth a quick search on their service before you decide which trial to use. Between KU and Scribd, you might cover 99% of her published shorts without spending a dime initially.

Reading 'In The Snow Forest: Three Novellas' online for free is tricky because it depends on where you look. Some platforms offer free previews or excerpts, but the full version usually requires purchase or a library subscription. I once stumbled upon a partial upload on a sketchy site, but the quality was awful, and it felt wrong—like stealing from the author. If you’re tight on cash, check if your local library has an ebook lending service like Libby or OverDrive. They often have digital copies you can borrow legally.
Alternatively, keep an eye out for limited-time promotions or author-sanctioned freebies. Some indie publishers release older works for free to attract new readers. But honestly, if you love the book, supporting the author by buying it or borrowing properly feels way more rewarding than hunting for dubious free copies.

Sometimes the blurb is so bonkers you need the sample to see if the writing can sustain it. 'Bought by the Billionaire Beast' promises a beauty-and-the-beast scenario with a literal purchase. The sample has to make that feel emotionally plausible, not just transactional. It's a high-wire act. The first few pages either pull you into the fantasy or leave you laughing at it. So the sample's job is immense: to make the outrageous feel inevitable. That's a unique skill, and sampling is how you test if she stuck the landing for that particular premise.
