Win A Kindle Fire!
To celebrate the launch of the second book in the Ardent Springs Series, available Nov 10th, I’m giving away an 8GB Kindle Fire tablet to one lucky winner.
Here’s the blurb for OUR NOW AND FOREVER:
When Caleb McGraw sweeps Snow Cameron off her feet, she never expects their whirlwind romance to lead to a Vegas wedding chapel. Before she can catch her breath, Caleb starts talking kids and college funds while his wealthy parents make their disapproval painfully clear. Convinced she was blinded by lust, not love, Snow takes off for Ardent Springs, Tennessee, two months into the marriage.
Heir to a media conglomerate, Caleb never experienced struggle or rejection, until Snow sends him on a wild hunt for his runaway bride. When he finally finds her—managing a curiosity shop beloved by the quirky locals—she agrees to give the marriage another chance, but on one condition: no sex for a month. Can their love stand the test, or will they give in to their attraction?
In this humorous and heartwarming Ardent Springs romance, two lost hearts start over in a town where everyone deserves a second chance and love always wins in the end.
I loved the idea of starting a romance novel after the couple is already married. No meet cute. No drawn out courtship. For this book, I had to basically save a marriage, at the same time toying with the idea of love at first sight and if it can really turn into a happily ever after.
So what I want to know is…. do you believe in love at first sight? And can it really last forever?

Love can happen with a glance. Seeing that person across a room, hearing a voice that sends a tingle through you. It builds on you until you can't imagine not seeing that person again, not waking up next to them, not seeing them when you get home from work. Relationships and marriage takes work and I believe that even through all the ups and downs that if there is love on both sides it can last forever.
I like your outlook on it, Mandy. It's nice to find someone who still believes in the power of love. :)
I believe in love at first sight but I also feel that love alone can not sustain a relationship especially when outside forces are trying to break that bond. The relationship needs to be nurtured with kindness, respect and appreciation. All relationships need work from both sides in order to last. While love is the foundation that builds the relationship there are other aspects to maintain that strong foundation.
You're spot on, Danielle. This is why I get frustrated with couples who put so much into their wedding day and don't realize that all the days after that one are way more important.
