I almost wasn’t going to ask you which one you would rather see in a book since I suspect what will be the overwhelming choice! As for me, I’ve had royalty in my books (The Prince’s Gamble and To Catch a Princess) but I’m not sure I’ve ever had cowboy unless you count Sheriff Jackson Whitaker from Cold Case Reopened. I think both are exciting and romantic, but who would you choose as the hero? Royalty or a Cowboy? P.S. – I can’t spill the beans just yet, but you may be seeing more of Jackson in the future!

For purely research purposes, I’m always on the lookout for the latest trends for men. At the gym, I see a wide variety of haircuts although most men lean toward sporting fades with short hair and beards of varying lengths. There is also the occasional man bun, although not as often as before. Honestly, IMHO, it takes a very special man to carry off a man bun. Dare we say, the hottest of the hottest are needed for a man bun. Normally, I prefer my men nicely trimmed and groomed unless again – hottie. What do you prefer? Trimmed or man bun?

With the busy lives we lead, who hasn’t wished for someone who could help out with some of the chores around the house? For today’s This or That, who would you choose to help you out? A private chef or a housekeeper? I love to cook and while I do clean the house, I hate doing that! So, I would definitely choose a housekeeper. What about you? Who would you choose? Although I suspect that those of you who have watched the South Beach Love movie would love a hottie chef like William Levy!

Today we’re going to chat about something that’s really dear to our hearts: our fur babies! You might now I have a lovely cat named Slate so I lean toward being a dog lover but I also love taking my sister’s rescued greyhounds out for walks.

I love writing romance but one of the hardest parts of fashioning a story is deciding whether it’s going to be a fast burn or a slow burn between the hero and heroine. It changes from book-to-book and as a reader, I like reading books with different levels of romantic tension and heat. When I was writing Sabotage Operation, I realized that this was going to be a fast burn kind of book because of the danger involved and how quickly the hero and heroine are tossed together and immediately form a bond. In Escape the Everglades, the second book in the South Beach Security K-9 spinoff, it was very much a slow burn because the hero is a single father and there’s a child’s emotions to consider. What about you? Do you like fast or slow burns? Either depending on the story? I’d love to hear from you!
