Romance: Real vs fantasy

I’m a reader of everything. Some of my favorite books are so far from romance novels, people often wonder why I write romance. It’s because I love all those feelings a person has in a new relationship. From meeting someone for the first time, to the butterflies and the first kisses, to realizing you’re helplessly, hopelessly in love.

How much of that is real and how much is fantasy?

All of it is real. Well, at least for me, it is. There really are butterflies and shivers of excitement, tingles on every nerve-ending just from the sound of someone’s voice. I’ve experienced these feelings, and that’s why I love writing about them. I met and fell in love with my husband when I was 15. I had the world’s biggest crush on him! He was a senior and barely knew I existed, until one night, when I was 16, suddenly there he was, saying my name. It was amazing! And I swore I would marry him. And I did. But, writing about new relationships keeps those feelings fresh in my mind, and reminds me of how head of heels I was for him all those years ago. Especially now, when we’ve been married 10 years and there are some days I want to throttle him. haha!

Of course, there’s a lot to romance novels and movies that aren’t realistic, like flawless heroes or heroines. However, it’s true that in those first months, even the first couple of years, new romances are never about concentrating on those flaws. I think that’s why a lot of romance novels tend to leave them out. I write romantic comedy so it’s always fun to let some fo the flaws shine :)

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
