2 Comments This request comes from Kim, who is looking for a shipbuilder romance: I've got a HaBO for you. I've recently been reading Sarah Vowell's Hawaii book, and it reminded me of a book I read about ten years ago. The book was, if I recall, not particularly recent when I… read more » 3 Comments

I love a good romantic comedy. Somehow a little silliness can work in them; things can get a little campy or over-the-top, but if the chemistry is there, audiences will still smile over it. We'll Always Have Paris reminded me of a good rom com movie in book form. It's humorous, not too demanding, and even if a little predictable, the leads work well together.
My list of shipboard romances is relatively small. There is the mediocre Moriah’s Mutiny from Elizabeth Bevarly. The much better Whirlwind from Cathy Hake and the lovely Imagine from Jill Barnett.

When it comes to books, I’m often drawn to superficialities . I’ ve resisted reading romances that my friends have gone gaga over, simply because the hero on the cover has a Russian-figure-skater mullet or the heroine is the grown-up version of the class bully from my elementary school. My book club still hasn ’t forgiven me for forcing them to slog their way through an interminable, 500-page funeral dirge of a novel, because when it was my turn I’d chosen a book based solely on its elegantly embossed cover art.

One sentence summary: What would you do if the love of your life, your husband, a man who’s supposed to be dead and gone, shows up on your doorstep, bleeding from a gunshot wound? Scene you like most and would never cut: Jonas and Missy have always had a very hot, physical relationship. Even when their marriage was falling apart, it was the one thing that always worked. So when Jonas, in anger, goes to Missy’s bedroom one night and sees her naked silhouette, bam! It’s not a nice, happy, successful love scene, but it’s so critical to the story. Thing your heroine would never be caught dead doing/saying: Missy would never eat meat.

From one end of the spectrum to the other It’s rare that I have two such different responses to books by the same author. The first one I read is an keeper and the second I’m sad to say will probably be a DNF.The THRILLIONTH page
Back when I was an English Lit major in college there was some shocking tale going around about a conference where a professor was giving a big talk on a famous book (I can't remember the who's and what's). Anyway, the author happened to be in the audience. And this author stood up and corrected some assumption--a bird symbolized this and not that or whatever.Romance Junkies Blog |
I’m looking at my messy apartment wondering when my fairy godmother is going to fly in here and wand away the mess. *sigh* Wishful thinking, I know, but worth a try. You never know what could happen these days—even time travel could happen to you! The heroine in my new release, Romancing a Stranger , is a modern woman with a sailor’s mouth and a less-than-firm grip on life. She finds a strange globe on her doorstep and brings it inside. That one thing (most of us would think nothing of—we all take strange shit home) changes her life forever.My First e-Arc It's true. As soon as I found out that the Avon Addicts would have access to electronic ARCs, I decided that was the push I needed to acquire an e-reader. As it happened, I made the purchase online about 3 days before my birthday.
