Why do you love to read romance novels?

Over the years I’ve been asked why romance novels? Why, of all the books on the shelves, each time I enter a bookstore, or shop an online one, I hit the romance section first? My answers always the same… I love being swept away by the exploration of love. It’s not always an easy path and that’s what makes it realistic, but by the last page of the book I get to sigh with pleasure as another couple commits to each other. The setting and circumstances certainly add to the experience but in the end I’m always won over by the romance.

I asked a few friends their thoughts on romance novels and here’s what they had to say:

“I love the love scenes. They give me hope that a stunning hero might be out there for me also!”
Kristen, Richmond, VA

“I pick up romance books when I want to be taken away from the daily hum drum of life. I enjoy being dropped into another person’s life to walk the path to falling in love with them. It makes me happy all over to know that love still conquers all.”
Natalie, Easton, MD

“Passion and promise, that’s what I enjoy about romance novels. They give you both in equal doses and then the happy ending comes. Sometimes I want to weep with joy and others I was to jump up and do a happy dance! It’s an adventure!”
Dorothy, Syracuse, NY

“I like the hot covers and everything in between.”
Lucy, Bowie, MD

A Sweet New Year!

We’re stepping right into the new year with a new book!

There’s no place like Sweetland for a holiday celebration…

When the idea for a new script brings Hollywood actor Kelan Hunter to the Wine & Chocolate Festival in the small town of Sweetland Valley, MD, sparks fly with the charming candy shop owner who has a list of reasons for why their love isn’t meant to be.

Ruthlessly organized Sydni Murray’s life goal checklist was derailed after her broken engagement last Valentine’s Day. Now, with the holiday fast approaching again and the town’s biggest chocolate festival on the horizon, she must put her biases about love on the backburner. Until Kelan walks into her shop with his model good looks and a box of his grandparents' love letters that melt her heart.

But happy ever after may not be in the cards for the couple as Sydni’s in danger of losing her shop and Kelan’s plan to stay in Sweetland is threatened by an unbelievable career opportunity.

Get ready to spend another holiday with the delightful citizens of Sweetland!
