Who do you like to read?
I mainly read romances but also enjoy thrillers. I tend to read books by fellow writers and those recommended to me.
What are some of your pet reading peeves?
Poor structure, boring plot and predictable endings.
Tell us a little about your book...
Forever Mine is a twist on the friends to lovers trope. Hannah has had a crush on her BFF’s brother, Zac, for years but he’s never noticed her. But then Hannah and Zac have a chance to spend time together and he starts seeing her differently. Can a player like Zac settle down with an every day gal like Hannah?
I loved writing this book and had so much fun with it. One of my friends (who’s also a beta reader for me) read it and loved it. In fact she read it one sitting, finishing it at 2.30am! She rang me the following morning to tell me she couldn’t stop reading and wanted to know how it ended. That made my day. Hope you enjoy reading it too :)
Blurb -
It's never a good idea to fall for your best friend's brother... or so they say.
Hannah Greene is fed up. A romantic at heart, she's had a major crush on her best friend's brother for years but he's never noticed her. To shape a life for herself away from Zac, she must move on.
Zac Warne, smooth-talking sales guy who takes responsibility to a whole new level, loves the thrill of the chase but is not interested in settling down, ever. It's not that he doesn't believe in love, it's just not for him.
But circumstances have Hannah and Zac spending one weekend together and a night of fun leads to more than just emotional consequences for them.
Compelled to right wrongs and beholden to fix problems, Zac has to convince Hannah his about-turn about wanting a relationship with her is not just one of convenience. Can Hannah now trust this smooth-talking playboy who has a reputation for breaking hearts, including her own?

DeleteI love the friends to romance trope because I think it is so realistic! It would be cool to see the author's personal twist on that trope. And I agree, a boring plot in a book is definitely let down.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Olivia-Savannah! I love friends to lovers, in fact, I'm currently sketching out another storyline with this trope :) It's always fun :)

ReplyDeleteThe romantic in me looooooooooves that!!!!!! :)

When I was younger, I was in love with my best male friend and he had feelings for me, too. But we were too scared to do anything about it. So these books always make me sigh and say "what if..."
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Joanne!
Thanks Chrys :) I do love this romantic trope, in fact, I'm writing another friends to lovers book due out at the end of the year.
DeleteYour feelings of being scared are normal and usually are what holds friends back. I love exploring, in my books, their feelings for when something changes and they "let go" so to speak :)
Thanks for dropping by :)
Lovely interview and interviewee. :-)
