Do you believe in love at first sight? Do romances that happen really quickly in a story come across as unbelievable to you, or do you find yourself rooting for the characters in spite of the timeline? Connecting Strangers, my romantic suspense releasing July 21st, has a whirlwind romance, and I see that it's a divided issue between reviewers. Some like it. Some don't. To me, when someone is hungry for love and they meet "the one", they know. Their hearts tells them not to waste time. Maybe that makes me a bit of a softie or even too much of a dreamer. Regardless, I still believe in fairy tales, and whirlwind romances are what dreams are made of. What about you? Do you think romances that happen fast are too unrealistic? How long did you know your spouse or significant other before you knew he/she was the one?

We all have our favorite bedtime stories. When we were a kid, they were stories like Puff, the Magic Dragon or anything by Dr. Seuss. As we grew older, we chose our own books and read to ourselves. Maybe a little Judy Bloom? Once we're adults, the stories get a little more interesting. Whether it's romance or non-fiction, horror or coming of age sagas, we all have favorite genres that we curl up with at night or other times of the day. And we all have those stories we return to time and again because they're like a security blanket. Everlastin' by Mickee Madden is one of those books for me. Reading is a wonderful past-time, but do you ever miss cuddling in the bed while your mom or dad read a story to you? Or maybe it was your big sister or brother, or a favorite aunt or uncle who took the time to read to you at night. If you miss hearing a soothing voice lull you to sleep, you might want to give audio books a try. The sense of comfort is still there, and if you find a book with the right narrator, you've got your bedtime story all over again. Or you can skip the bed altogether and stay up to listen to the end of the story. Good luck explaining the bloodshot eyes to the boss, though! |
