We are so happy that our grandson Axel has finally arrived! It’s so exciting and he’s so cute. We are so blessed at this new addition to our family!

It’s National Tropical Fruit Day! Yeah! I love quite a number of tropical fruits but mangoes are my absolute favorite ones. I love them just plain but I also love them in a milkshake or mango lassi. They are just tasty but my husband can’t eat them. He says he gets a weird taste in his mouth which could be an allergy to one of the proteins in the mango. If you’ve read SOUTH BEACH LOVE, the heroine just loves her mango milkshakes!

There are lots of difficult things about writing a romance. When writing romantic suspense, I have to balance the action and romance. If it’s a contemporary romance, it’s making sure the conflict is believable. Paranormals? So many other things to consider! LOL! But in all of them, the big question is: When will they finally give in to passion and what will happen afterward? Today I’m asking you what you like to see for the after. Do you like when they talk or is a cuddle what you want to see? P.S. – If you like books with romance, action, and talk, you might want to check out THE FIFTH KINGDOM which is one of my personal favs. It’s specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time at https://amzn.to/3Y286g4.

Three Broken Hearts, One Shore Town, and a Second Chance at Everything

Life on the Jersey Shore wasn’t always painted in shades of regret for Rose, Casey, and Nita. Once inseparable best friends, a tragic twist of fate ripped them apart, scattering their dreams across the miles. Now, years later, fate brings them crashing back together in the quaint seaside town that holds both bittersweet memories and a promise of redemption.

Rose, a once-celebrated chef, drowns her sorrows in vodka, the ghost of a successful New York career clinging to her like the salty spray. Casey, haunted by the threat of losing her family’s cherished inn, struggles to keep her head above water. Nita, yearning for a sense of normalcy, discovers an unexpected pregnancy just as life throws her a curveball.

As the summer sun paints the sky in fiery hues, these three women, bound by the enduring threads of friendship, embark on a journey of healing. Laughter and tears mingle with the salty ocean breeze as they navigate the messy realities of life, love, and the unexpected beauty of second chances.

Will they find solace in the familiar embrace of their hometown, or will the ghosts of their past forever keep them at arm’s length? Discover the heartwarming story of friendship, resilience, and the transformative power of love under the Jersey Shore sky.

This summer romance promises laughter, tears, and a story you won’t forget.
