Did I cheat by using the R for Romance? Not in my opinion because the fabulous Nana Malone, USA TODAY bestselling author is from Ghana and comes to visit quite often? I haven’t met her yet, but I’m in love with her books. Brilliant writer. If you like a lot of heat in your romances, then pick one up.
She has a new book out which is sitting on my Kindle calling to me.
The Blurb
It wasn’t exactly like spunky, photography
student, Abbie Nartey ran away from her life…except, that she left under the
cover of darkness and put three thousand miles between her and her
ex-boyfriend’s betrayal. She went to London searching for her dream. She never
expected to find love, or herself.
Heir to his family’s tech fortune, sexy, Alexi Chase, is looking for freedom—from his family and from his past. What he’s not looking for is love. With secrets like his, he can’t afford to let anyone get too close. But a chance rescue has him wondering if the price of keeping secrets is too high.
Will Alexi risk losing love to keep his past hidden? Will Abbie trust herself enough to love again? Or will their pasts keep then from accepting true love?

Must be nice to have a namesake who also happens to be a romance writer.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. She's someone I look up to.
DeleteI think this is my first time hearing about Nana Malone. London Bound sounds fantastic--hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will she is a fantastic writer.
DeleteI'm hoping more people will start to realize that true romance comes from hooking up with one, land only one, person for life. You get what you give, love and excitement included. Sounds like that might be what Ms. Malone's characters eventually discover sqq hopefully she doesn't tarry too long in the before-time.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I agree with you philosphy, Robert. But I appreciate your opinion.Such things can happen in romance novels and movies, but doesn't always work out like that in real life. people change, sometimes for the worst.
DeleteI like the cover!
ReplyDeleteIt's unique.
DeleteShe has "spunky" in her first line of the blurb. I like her already!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of her, but sure...she can be my second favorite Nana in the world. Must look her up.
(Oh, by the way, I would like to change the word "dare" to "challenge" in my previous comment, fingers crossed that does the trick... lol)
Lol. I'm glad I'm not being replaced as your favorite Nana. Sorry, changing the word won't help. The heroine, Esi, won't have it.
DeleteLOL! No, I don't think using "romance" is cheating. Besides, we're near the end of the challenge, so exceptions to the rules are perfectly acceptable. =)

Thanks for your approval, Crystal. I wonder if any word with an R anywhere in it will do at this point. We're almost finishished.
DeleteNo it's not cheating!! Never heard of this author but the book sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThanks. She is fantastic.
DeleteI don't think making R stand for Romance is cheating. I think it's a natural fit :)
ReplyDeleteConsidering I'm a romance blog, it is, isn't it?
DeleteAdd my vote in that it's not cheating. I have a Nana Malone book on my TBR and I need to get busy and read it. Romance leads to some awesome escape reading.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I read this genre. Nothing too taxing. I get enough of that in real life. I'm looking forward to reading her book to.
DeleteI haven't read a straight-up romance book in a while (although plenty with romance as a subplot), but spunky heroines definitely make for the best romance stories.
ReplyDeleteHope you’re having fun with the A to Z challenge,
Jocelyn
I like to take a break every once in a while from romances, but I always return. Can't stay away from that HEA.
DeleteOh my! This is a sizzling blurb indeed! That picture alone ...... ;)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a hot cover?
DeleteIt's sitting on my Kindle too, Nana - can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you've read any of her other books, Felicia. I read her Sexy in Stilletoes series and have her Protector series sitting on my Kindle.
DeleteI love the cover and description.
ReplyDeleteThe book both sounds and looks amazing.
DeleteNot cheating, the theme is optional :) Sounds like a great book.
