Coffee with a Character - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

Leslie Hachtel  has set a near impossible task this week:

Which romance novel hero/heroine would you like to spend some time with and why?

Really? Like I could pick just one? I don’t even know where to start, but I’ll try.

I recently read “The Kiss Quotient” by Helen Hoang. The heroine has Asperger’s Syndrome, and the story is sweet and lovely. Stella has a unique view of the world, and I think she might be a very refreshing person to get to know.

I might also like to meet Eve Dallas and Roarke from J. D. Robb’s “In Death” series. They are one of my favourite romance couples – but I might also be too intimidated! They are both such strong characters that I might be too starstruck to say anything (which, if you know me, is saying a LOT!)

One of my all-time favourite writers is Courtney Milan. I love her historical fiction the best, and meeting any or all of her characters from those books would be amazing! Violet, from “The Countess Conspiracy” is a genius who is investigating genes and inheritance traits. I love that sort of science, and I think it would be a thrill to discuss that with her over coffee some day.
​
How about you? Is there a character you’d like to meet? Tell me about it in the comments, then hop over to A. S. Fenichel ​and see who she who she would like to spend time with.

I had the chance to apply to a summer-themed promotion with KOBO US.
I won't know if I'm in it until Thursday (July 11) but I decided to put my two summer books on sale anyway!
​You can pick up NO LIFE BUT THIS and MOUNTAIN FIRE for just 99 cents, from now until July 21.

Abigail Garsson feels trapped in her safe, boring, conventional life. Desperate to escape, she signs up for an adventure vacation on the Portuguese island of São Miguel.

Santos Carregado enjoys introducing tourists to his tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic. At first he barely notices the unassuming Abigail. He soon finds her meek exterior hides a vibrant woman who teases his senses and ignites his passion.

Abigail is stunned to discover the handsome, confident Santos is attracted to her, but his fiery kisses and searing caresses convince her to accept a sensuous invitation.
​
Will the realities of life shatter Abigail's holiday daydream? Or can the shifting sands of a short-term fling become the rock on which a life-long relationship is built?

​A mountaintop mystery leads two conservationists to dangerous obsessions and violent passions.

Natural resources student June Brandt climbs Longworth Mountain for some alone time. But when Conservation Officer Alex Weaver arrives to look into the death of a grizzly bear, June is caught up in the investigation—and fascinated by Alex. 

Alex is attracted by June's competence and coolness under fire—as well as her lithe body and honey-blonde hair. Although their mutual interest in protecting the natural wonders of the area brings them together, they soon realize they view love from very different angles. He offers passion and pleasure, but June wants more. 
​
When one of Alex’s colleagues is murdered, June and Alex must work together to find the poacher before other lives are lost. And Alex must look deep inside to discover if he can give June what she deserves.
