BLOOMING LOVE SPRING BLOG HOP


 
Welcome to the Blooming Love Spring Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy all the different perspectives on love, find exciting new books, learn about new authors, and of course, take advantage of all the giveaways.  

Sometimes love hits hard and fast. Other times love sneaks up and takes hold of your heart before you realize what’s happening, much the same way a bud on a flower’s stem slowly opens to reveal a beautiful spring blossom. 

I write romantic adventures and suspense, and they generally follow the blooming love rather than the exploding romance formula (there are plenty of other explosions in my stories).  As the hero and heroine struggle to survive whatever predicament they find themselves in, they inevitable come to rely on each other and reassess how they view themselves and their relationships.  Even in real life, when people face a challenging or terrifying situation together the experience has the potential to tear them apart or bring them together by forging an unbreakable bond through shared sacrifice.  

My most recent novel, Big Horn Storm, is a contemporary western romantic adventure set in rugged mountain country. The story combines a too-close-to-home military crisis, a traumatic accident, a terrifying bear encounter, hold-your-breath horseback escapes and an attempt to reconcile the past in an action-packed thriller.  To survive an aggressive invasion by ruthless foreign soldiers, the sheepherder’s granddaughter must test her horse’s strength and her own will to do whatever it takes to stay alive and protect those she loves, including the rugged rancher who has always held her heart.  

As dramatic as that sounds, how far would you go for love, especially if you didn’t understand your emotions completely or know if your feelings will be reciprocated? In Desperate Dreams, America has become a safe, orderly, predictable place for the majority of the citizenship, but to a few, like Nyla and Ethan, it has become a prison. Inseparable since childhood, but now faced with being torn apart, they are determined to change the course of their future. As Nyla struggles to understand her deepening feelings for Ethan, they embark on a desperate journey for freedom through the inhospitable Big Bend region of Texas. But, is the cost of freedom and forbidden love too high? 

In some adventures the situation is just too dangerous for the hero and heroines to recognize the signs of falling in love or access the costs. While fighting for their lives, love is the last thing on their mind, and surviving a treacherous experience will inevitably change the most well-defined priorities. In Marked in Mexico an idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger who has no intention of playing by the rules. While trying to stay alive in the unforgiving jungle will they forge a bond to last a lifetime or push the terrifying memories, and each other far away?
