Growing up without a father, I always felt differe

Growing up without a father, I always felt different. ⁣
I wanted to be like everyone else.⁣
And, then one day, I didn’t. ⁣
I wanted to be me. The path was harder. It was full of thorns and quicksand, but it made me who I am. And that’s why I write strong female characters blazing their own paths. You won’t find any doormat heroines in my books— only women who know their minds and don’t mind taking a different, less-traveled road. #writing #writersofinstagram #amwriting #amwritingromance #travel #wellreadwomen #strongheroine #traveller #strongwoman

Haunted by the tragic death of his best friend, Ha

Haunted by the tragic death of his best friend, Hawaiian surfer Declan Bishop hasn’t returned home for nearly two years. He says he’s been chasing the waves, but really he’s been running. ⁣
He might have kept on running if he hadn’t met Pearl Sunn, a fearless surfer whose smile reminds him of the warm waters of home. Brave, strong, and determined — Pearl's everything Declan wishes he could be. ⁣
Their relationship is supposed to be fake, a publicity stunt for his career, but Declan has never felt anything so real. He falls hard for Pearl, but to earn her love, first, he must face his demons. ⁣
Escape to the Hawaiian Islands with this steamy romance featuring a flawed hero and the woman who must risk it all to return his love. Fans of Try Easy will love Try Me, the second standalone installment in the Aloha Series. #hawaiian #aloha #amwritingromance #authorsofinstagram #kindleunlimited #readersofinstagram #romanceseries #authorlife

I love making new friends, trying new foods, discovering new cities. Starting a new project is scary and fun at the same time. Creating new characters and storylines lights me up. Wrapping everything into a tidy bow and actually stamping it FINISHED is the hard part. ⁣

I'm a starter.⁣

Want to play along? Start with a book that has a one-word title and build from there. See how high you can get your stack. I only got to 7. I had a book with 10 words, but I was missing 8 and 9. ⁣

The three-foot rollers sweeping in from the south

The three-foot rollers sweeping in from the south were perfect for beginners and tandem surfing if you knew and trusted your partner. “Get up here,” Pearl said, pointing to the front of the board.
“Bossy.”
“Just do it.”
Declan splashed into the water, slipped around Pearl’s leg, and then pulled himself up onto the surfboard in front of her. They were silent, watching the glassy waves for a bump big enough to ride all the way to shore.
Pearl leaned forward. Her hand brushed Declan’s shoulder, and her whisper tickled his ear.
“There’s one,” she said.
Pearl’s voice unleashed a torrent of fantasies in Declan’s mind. His body stiffened in response. His muscles tensed. His heart rate skyrocketed. He pulled in a breath and focused his gaze on the wave barreling toward them. “You sure?” he asked. “Trust me.”
A bitter taste flooded his mouth. “I don’t trust anyone.”
“I’ll make you look good,” she promised.
“I already look good,” he said, keeping his tone light, joking even while his heart raced.
She laughed and leaned closer, brushing her chest against his back. “I’ll make you look better,” she said.
Her husky tone sparked a flame of lust that Declan couldn’t deny. His skin flushed, and his blood surged to his crotch. He turned his head and caught Pearl’s eye. She winked. “Go,” Pearl urged, leaning into Declan’s back.
Declan went. *******
Try Me, the second book in the Aloha Series, is the story of a broken man who must learn to face his fears before earning the love a firece woman.
Do you love strong heroines? This book is for you!

My #whyromancebookstack isn't pretty. The top two

My #whyromancebookstack isn't pretty. The top two books have been read so many times that the spines are brittle and the covers are falling off. My stack is ugly, but so is my path to owning that I love romance. Let's face it, romance isn't embraced in the book world. It's seen as sappy, cheesy, or worse *cringe* mommy-porn... So, why do I love romance? Besides the hot heroes, sexy settings, and happy-ever-afters? Romance gives us the opportunity to grow. The best version of ourselves is when we are in love. Sharing your whole heart with someone takes guts and trust and passion. 😁😍😉 Do you love romance? Tell me your Why.

I guessed my #tbrstack was about 6". I underestimated. It's 11". How high is yours, and which one are you going to read next? I'm excited to read Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore. I love historical fiction. I've heard so much about this one! Have you read it yet?

I've been thinking a lot about fear. Trying to understand why it has such power over us. Trying to be strong when everything is crashing down.
Fear makes our minds race and our hearts pulse.
It allows our imagination to take over, creating scenarios that are worse than the now.
I've been trying to pause through fear, and remember the wise words of George Addair quoted above.
I refuse to let fear control me. I laugh in its face. If I can't laugh, then I'm not living. So, fuck you fear. I'm not buying your drama.
