Where in the World - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

Doesn't this look irresistable?(Stock Image from Canva)

For the Romance Writers Weekly Blog Hop, we have a sign-up every week so we know who is joining. Posting that sign-up is my job, so sometimes I take a few liberties and make sure the topic is a skewed to what is going on in my life. Take this week, for example:

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

Considering we leave today for Portugal, doesn’t this subject seem apropos? 😊

I am very privileged to be able to travel – and to have a husband who enjoys it as much as I do. We’ve been to Disneyland and San Francisco, Mexico and Kauai. We travelled with my parents to Belgium/France and his parents to the Azores. We spent six unforgettable weeks driving across Canada and the northern United States. Spain was a highlight last year.

We are very excited about Portugal. We will be spending time in Lisbon and Porto, doing a one week walking tour, have a week on the beach in the Algarve, and rent a car for a few days to make sure we don’t miss anything.

Maybe as you can tell from my list of past destinations, we like to mix things up. So when it comes to a direct answer on this topic, it was so hard to choose!

I ended up picking Petra, in Jordan. This ancient city, lost to the world for centuries, is utterly fascinating. It doesn’t hurt it was a location for one of the Indiana Jones movies, either. (Harrison Ford 🔥🔥🔥 ) It’s history and construction would be so amazing to explore.

What about you? Is there somewhere special you’d like to go? Let me know below and then hop over to Jill Haymaker to find out her destination.

I'll be back on the blog hop in one month. Talk then!

MONTANA PINES AUTUMN LEAVES

Sometimes the love you need is right in front of you.

​Cathy McIntosh has lived her entire life in the small mountain town of Pine Meadows, Montana. A widow for the last eight years, she gave up on romance when her husband passed. Now that her sons are grown and living on their own, she’s content to live alone in her small bungalow with her chihuahua, Sparky. After all, she has many good friends to keep her company, especially Jerimiah Thorne.

Jerimiah became a widower twelve years ago when his kids were still young. He doesn’t know how he would have made it through the tough times without his neighbor, Cathy. Over the years, they’ve developed a strong friendship. He mows her lawn and shovels her snow, and in return, she frequently cooks him wonderful meals. He can’t imagine his life without her in it.

​When a famous, handsome stranger moves into their neighborhood and takes an interest in Cathy, she wonders if it is possible to find romance again. Jerimiah can’t stand the newcomer and his attention to Cathy. Is he just being a protective friend, or is it something more? Does he have feelings for her that are more than friendship? Would an attempt at romance threaten the relationship they’ve built or give them a second chance at true happiness?
