When one sets out to write a romance novel based on/inspired by Pride & Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary, one must read such works for “research.” What I noticed upon the re-watches and re-reads and the writing of my own version (Lady Bridget’s Diary) is that the love story between Elizabeth/Bridget and Darcy is a…
Dear Romance Readers of the World, Pull up a chair and we’ll have a nice chat. I’m so happy to be here today to tell you about the first book in my new four book series, The Spare Heirs! Yes, it’s true that I’m an easily excitable person, but I’m especially looking forward to the…
A dark-haired, handsome guy shares domestic life with me, and I treasure him dearly. As romance heroes go, he has some creds. For example, he never says much unless he’s worried for my welfare, and then he’s as vocal as he needs to be. He’s kind to kittens and others of his ilk, and never…
Farrah Rochon’s newest story, Passion’s Song is out this month as part of the Harlequin Kimani Febraury Lineup. (I’ve written a DIK review of it for AAR).

Eric was introduced in that story as a 20-year old gang member…

Ms. Brown is giving away three e-copies of the book to three lucky readers. Leave a comment below and you’ll be entered in a…
One of the things I like in a good contemporary romance is how real the characters feel. In a contemporary, the setting is familiar and the technology and manners and culture are all familiar, so I can sink into the characters and the story. Everything about the book feels like it could be happening down…

I have always been a sucker for a holiday romance. There’s something about the holidays that allow me to access the over-the-top, gushily sentimental core of my heart that is normally hidden under a layer of “loves complicated realism in romance.” At the holidays, I let myself get overwhelmed with love for and joy in…
