YESTERDAY WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!
And thank you to Kristina McMorris yesterday for giving away a copy of BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES to Dianne Venetta! Congrats Dianne!!

Today’s spotlight is on a fellow debut author and friend of mine, Roni Loren, with her sizzling romance, CRASH INTO YOU. And because Roni is shouting out about my book today as well, you can catch my post on her weekly Boyfriend Of The Week today, where I talk about the sexy inspiration for “Alex Stone”, the hot and mysterious ghost in my book.
Roni wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven’t improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. Though she’ll forever be a New Orleans girl at heart, she now lives in Dallas with her husband and son. If she’s not working on her latest sexy story, you can find her reading, watching reality television, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to rockstars, er, rock concerts. Yeah, that’s it. Her debut novel, CRASH INTO YOU, is now available from Berkley Heat. Website: www.roniloren.com
To keep with the trend, I asked Roni the same three questions. Here are her answers:
Probably the story that made me fall in love with romance was Dirty Dancing. I know it’s not a book, but Johnny Castle will always hold a special place for me. I can’t resist a tortured bad boy hero. I also love Jamie from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander–the sweet-hearted warrior.
Mexican food. Nothing makes life better than a big bowl of chips, salsa, and guacamole. (And queso if it’s been a REALLY bad week, lol.)

Roni Loren says
I have to flirt somewhere because I was an utter failure at it in real life, lol.
Sheila Seabrook says
Sharla does know her man candy, so I’m heading over to Roni’s blog shortly. But first, I want to tell Roni how much I love the book blurb and cover. This sounds like an exciting read. 🙂

Dirty Dancing and Johnny Castle*sigh*. My favorite scene of all time is when he is carrying Penny out of the kitchen while she is crying. Then he starts telling her, “You have a problem, you come to me…”
Such a man.
Love Roni and her book!
Roni Loren says
Guh, I love that part too. *fans self*

Hello Roni!
I grew up in a very strict house in the 80’s and wasn’t allowed to watch Dirty Dancing (or Footloose or Ferris Bueller or Back to the Future) so I can’t really comment on Johnny. I do love me some Patrick Swayze though. Now that I’m an adult I suppose I should go rent Dirty Dancing to see why all of my friends loved it so much! LOL
I love the blurb for Crash Into You. The cover is hawt too!

Roni Loren says
Oh my gosh, you must go out and rent it RIGHT NOW. Life is not complete without that movie. (It’s available on Netflix streaming if you have that.)
Denise Ellis says
Don’t think I’ve ever read a BDSM book…but this could be the first! Sister in hiding, cops, criminals and an old flame sounds very interesting.
Roni Loren says
Lol, I’d be honored to be your first BDSM book. : ) Good luck in the contest!
pinksilkjournal says
I can’t decide if I’m more interested in where the romantic relationship goes or in how/if they save her sister! it looks fantastic, Roni.
Sharla Lovelace says
Congrats to Jean for winning!!

Dirty Dancing is the ultimate chick flick… watch it again at least once or twice a year. The theme song drives me nuts – sticks in my head for days. I’ve never heard of BDSM but it sounds like a great way to get ideas churning for writing. What a storyline combo… hard to resist! And a hot lawyer to boot. Very cool.
