Rosalie Carlson has always been wise. She’s the straight-talking best friend of a superstar, the one person everyone turns to for advice. So why can’t she get her own life together? At least she knows better than to fall for a young musician…

the Grace Notes trilogy....

Sometimes a book comes along that just carries you into its world and wraps itself around you like a warm blanket. Falls From Grace is that kind of book for me.

If you haven’t read the Grace Notes series, drop everything and read it now. Ruby Landers doesn’t follow the “rules” of romance novels and that is exactly what makes these books so freaking good. She takes a format that you think wouldn’t work and makes it work PERFECTLY! The characters’ lives, pasts, and struggles are so real. You can’t help but fall in love with every single one of them. Just when I think these books can’t possibly get any better, she goes and proves me wrong.

Saving Graces is an absolute triumph... a must-read for anyone who loves a beautiful, diverse, and emotionally rich romance. Ruby Landers has truly outdone herself with this one, delivering a book that is as much about finding oneself as it is about finding love. I devoured it in a day

The Lesbian Review

I can't decide what I enjoy most about Landers' writing style: her effortlessly diverse cast of characters or her ability to write the humor & sass in beautifully flawed humans without ever feeling overextended or contrived. Either way, as a reader it's a win.

(Taylor, GoodReads 'Graceless' Review)

Ruby Landers’ writing feels so comforting. Her characters feel so real and messy and broken and beautiful and it gives me hope in a way I can’t really describe. This romance is a beautiful slow burn. It’s fiery and sweet and safe and passionate and it’s an absolute rollercoaster. I loved every minute.

Absolutely seeping in atmosphere and full of complex, dynamic characters with palpable chemistry, I was absolutely hooked from page one.

May, Goodreads

The story masterfully explores themes of misconceptions, misjudgments, and misunderstandings, presented in such rich detail that I found myself slowing down to fully absorb its complexities.

The Lesbian Review

...like a high quality TV mini series...

Ribbonwood

Ruby Landers lives in Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia. As you’re reading this she is either typing a million daydreamy words a minute, giving someone a thousand-yard stare while secretly working out a plot twist, having a deep conversation with anyone four-legged, bargaining with an expert toddler negotiator, or dreaming of quitting her day job. Either way, there’ll be coffee.

Two Tickets

(Grace Notes Prequel)

What does fandom mean to you?

Maggie Dale lives a secret life in her small Idaho town. On the outside, she’s shy and reserved, hiding behind the walls of her dead-end office cubicle, stuck with how to talk to anyone. On the inside, she’s full of wild dreams, and her favorite singer, Savannah Grace, embodies all of them.

When Maggie gets two chance-of-a-lifetime tickets to Savannah’s stadium show, it quickly turns into a crisis. Making it to the show means an eleven hour drive through the desert, to the most stressful city on earth: Las Vegas. Even worse, fate sends her a terrifying ultimatum: ask August Turner - her epically unrequited office crush - on a weekend road-trip to Vegas with her or miss the show altogether.
