A Guest Post where I asked the author what attracts her to this genre
The Appeal of Romance...
I started writing screenplays before I moved into novel writing. As a
screenwriter, I have explored various genres – including drama, stories based
on real events, family comedy and thrillers – but so far my books have all been romantic fiction.
But even within romance, I’m trying to explore with other sub-genres. For
instance, my current work in progress is a romantic-thriller and my second book,
Trouble Has A New Name, is more of a romantic-comedy.
What I find fascinating about the romance genre is the fact that there are
millions of readers all around the world who want to read it. We are living in a
so-called cynical age and yet we want our dose of happy ever after stories.
Actress Emma Watson has been quoted as saying, “I’m a feminist but I
think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what
people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.”
Perhaps that’s the reason why romance continues to be a preferred genre
and for me as an author that is truly an inspiring thought.
Thank you Adite for your insight!

Until Rayna’s ex turns up with a new girl on his arm!
Hitting the panic button, Rayna searches for a solution. Surely Neel wouldn’t mind being her fake fiancé…? In an instant the attraction they share is fever pitch, but when scandal comes calling, Rayna soon finds herself in more trouble than she can handle!
