My daughter just loves taking a long soak in a sudsy, scented bath. I, on the other hand, prefer a nice long hot shower. There is something about the warm water cascading over me that not only relaxes me, it helps me work through things like a gnarly plot point or other mental roadblock. Sometimes I use some bath salts or a shower bomb to get some calming smells in there! What about you? Do you prefer a nice soak or a tranquilizing shower? P.S. I’ve got a number of books available on Kindle Unlimited for FREE or if you’re not in KU, specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time. You can download them at https://amzn.to/3SG2rtz.

It’s time for some truth-telling! Would you prefer to have breakfast in bed with your loved one or dinner in a romantic restaurant? As much of a romantic as I am, I’d have to pass on breakfast in bed. All those crumbs and stuff all over not to mention that klutz that I am, I’m sure the champagne and/or jelly would end up in all the wrong places! LOL (and get your minds out of the gutter, ladies). So my choice hands down is a lovely dinner in a romantic restaurant. What about you? What would be your choice? P.S. Dinner in a romantic restaurant is what unexpectedly happened to Maggie and Owen from ONE SUMMER NIGHT. If you haven’t read that story yet, it’s on sale of 99 cents and also available in Kindle Unlimited but only until June. Download it at https://amzn.to/3SndEie.

Today’s This or That may be a tough choice! Would you rather have your partner in nothing but skin in bed or in some super satiny PJs? I’m torn on this one, especially when I’m writing a scene that involved going to bed (to sleep ladies!) My characters usually wear bedclothes of some kind, whether it’s fancy pajamas or serviceable sweats, until it’s time for a love scene. I actually think the dance of removing the clothes can be way sexier and more intimate. What about you> What do you think about nothing but skin or pajamas in bed. P.S> – In SABOTAGE OPERATION, the military hero is a no-nonsense type who definitely wears sweats. But I bet he wonders if the heroine who he thinks is a rich girl (she’s actually a hard-working stable owner) wears something silky to bed! LOL.

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?
