Blog postA while ago I was invited by the lovely team at Shepherd.com to create a list of 5 favorite book recommendations for readers who also love my books. Here is what I chose and why.
The best romance, chick-lit, and women’s fiction books I love women’s fiction, romantic comedies, and chick-lit because they are a fun slice of escapism, a guilty pleasure that pushes our problems on the back burner for a bit. A good women’s fiction novel has everything, from romance, to drama, to self-disco -
Blog postHello, friends!
I’ll start this post with a fun fact: did you know that today is National Men-Make-Dinner Day? Yep, you read that right! Today is the perfect excuse to get your man cooking, and although the rules say that no BBQ is allowed, I say you should take what you can get.
I am lucky and blessed that my husband actually enjoys cooking, and in the little free time he has, he spoils me with dishes from great chefs like Gordon Ramsay. I don’t even care if he mak -
Blog postWhen I was kid, summer seemed to last forever. Not just because I was young and had a higher tolerance for low temperatures—and in the south of Romania, where I lived, winters are vicious. But summer seemed to start earlier and end much later than it does now.
This year we started having real summer temperatures in July, and here we are, with August almost over. The weather fairy is ticking off the calendar days, and summer is already moving on. All year I have been dreaming of a holi -

Blog postHappy Apple Strudel Day!
How do you feel about pastries? I adore them, which makes it really hard for me, because I have decided to cut back on sugar and carbs. The pandemic brought me a few extra pounds and a lot more aches and pains than a year ago. While I’ve been putting everything on account of being sedentary, I’m starting to think that eating sugar several times a day might contribute to all that.
However, I have a lot to show for all those hundreds of hours spent with -
Blog postEven a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
I’m sure you’ve all heard this proverb, maybe to the point where you roll your eyes when you hear it again. But it’s true.
In 2013 I was finishing my first story, Rendezvous with Hymera. I’ll tell you straight, it was terrible, and it took years to build the guts to say this. But at the time I was beyond proud of my first “baby”.
I very boldly wrote to Janet Evanovich and asked for her advice on what to do -
Blog postHi everyone!
To those of you who are in the US, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope y’all make the best of today. I think it’s wonderful to have a holiday for celebrating what we are thankful for, and I’ve thought a lot about where my gratitude lies.
2020 has been a rough one, but thinking back I am thankful for all the extra time I got to spend with my hubby, for everything that I’ve learned this year, the things I never thought I would do and achieve, the things I re -

Blog postHi everyone! I hope your week is going well, although that’s more and more difficult to say these days. Since I figured we all need a break from news and politics, today I want to share with you my favorite kissing scenes in movies. It was very difficult to make a Top 5 because I love all of these movies, but here it goes:
5. Vivian and Edward in Pretty Woman
This movie has a simple plot, yet the characters and the dialogue are so witty and beautiful it became an instant class -
Blog postNow a very popular format, ten years ago audiobooks were still making a shy debut – just when I needed them most. Reading has always been my biggest hobby, but as I worked in an office all day with my eyes fixed on a computer screen, traditional reading became impossible. My eyes got tired easier, my neck became stiff from bending over a book. That was when my husband suggested I tried audiobooks.
At first I was reluctant. It seemed weird listening to someone read a book out loud, but -

Blog postPara celebrar el Día Internacional del Idioma Español, ¡aquí hay un extracto de FAMA! Kendra acaba de enterarse por su madre de que su aventura con un actor famoso está en todos los periódicos.
“—Supongo que todavía no has leído la prensa. Hay fotografías de ese actor, Blake Tyler, y de ti en todos lados.
—¿Qué?
Estaba tan sorprendida que no sabía cómo reaccionar. Como una tonta -
Blog postIt is my firm belief that all great love stories start with a spark of madness. I know mine did. My relationship with my husband was like a volcano – for years it burned so slowly and silently no one knew it was there, until one day when it erupted and the hot lava consumed everything in its path. Except there was nothing destructive about our love. All we had was a burning desire to be together. But since many people were opposed to that idea, we did the only thing we could so that everyone
