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. Plus, I love my grand fur baby Lily and corgis, too! What about you? Are you Team Cat or Team Dog? And if you’ve got a fur baby at home, please share a photo! P.S. – If you love puppers, check out Decoy Training, the first book in the K-9s on Patrol series. All the books are standalone and even better, it’s FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited.

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!

Lately I find it hard to do a lot of reading because I am so busy writing! That’s both a good and bad thing, if you get what I mean. I’m so in awe of people who do find the time to read and romance readers, in particular, are voracious readers. That’s what has me wondering how many books you read in 2023. Was it less than a 100 or over 100? Do you have a reading goal for 2024? Well, if you need more books to read, Harlequin is running a special right now! If you buy 4 books you can get 2 more free with code HQN2024. Check out my latest Harlequin books in the South Beach Security series or pick up the SBS K-9 Division spin off books at https://bit.ly/HQN-CaridadPineiro.

As best as I can remember, I haven’t had a hero with a tattoo in any of my books. Well, except for that one time my editor called me to say that they wanted the heroine to have a tattoo on the cover even though I never mentioned a tattoo in the book. That was for Temptation Calls, one of my vampire suspense books. The heroine in that book is a vampiress who has suffered horrible abuse as a human and is now dedicating her life to running the Artemis Shelter for abused women and children. Since Artemis is an archer, that’s what she had as a tattoo. But enough about that. Do you like tattoos on your romance novel heroes? I think a nice tattoo on a shoulder works for me. Maybe an artful full sleeve, but no neck, face, or hand tattoos for me. What about you? Do you like tattoos on your heroes or heroines?
