I am dying! The upcoming At First Spite by @OliviaWrites is getting a stepback in the hardcover edition (limited number of these, of course) and it's an homage to Johanna Lindsey's Fires of Winter!!!!
Isn't it gorgeous?
(to get your own, preorder through Love's Sweet Arrow by December 31)
I've just learned of an online auction to support the Ashland MA public library. Lots of your favorite authors (including @OliviaWrites) have items up.
Found this virtual panel at 2022 #LasVegasBookFestival via @tuphlos; very enjoyable, but especially caught on what @OliviaWrites has to say about her Spoiler Alert, and how she had so much to say in the book she thought would be "her one and only chance" to be in bookstores around the world.
Day 27 of #RomanceAwarenessMonth and today's post is dedicated to @lenoreo as she mentioned #CinnamonRoll MMCs in a recent reply. My fave Cinnamon Roll Hero is probably Martin in Olivia Dade's "Teach Me": he's been hurt in a previous relationship; he's a doting dad; he is sweet and gentle with the FMC Rose, until he becomes a dirty talking sexy lover (after seeking her consent for talking dirty, of course).
Please share your cinnamon roll recs! @romancelandia @romancebooks
@Diva007@lenoreo@romancelandia@romancebooks That @OliviaWrites book was what motivated me to look up what a "cinnamon roll" was in the first place. Still not sure I can identify it without someone else pointing it out for me.
@Anthro_CLH@lenoreo@Diva007@romancelandia@romancebooks Now this is the kind of question that helps me understand the classification. @OliviaWrites has a lot of cinnamon roll characters, but Alex has a snarky, slightly bitter sense of humor that doesn't quite fit. Is he on the border? His buddy Marcus is equally capable of being sweet, but built his withdrawn and chilly side for self-protection. (Loving this discussion.)
As his partner puts it, "He has a way of making you want to take care of him, doesn't he?"
He's blisteringly competent one minute, then he can barely feed himself. There's a whole covert team at the office to keep him humming along efficiently.
