So what do I think is romantic? Often times, it's the little things like the touch of a man's hand on my side when we're walking. No, it's not a huge PDA, but it's a subtle clue to how he feels about me. I'm sure it must feel fantastic to have your boyfriend/husband buy the Times Square billboard and declare his love for you there, but for me, I prefer the smaller touches.
I remember the first romantic thing a boyfriend ever did for me. It was my junior prom and my boyfriend and I were seated with two couples we didn't know and my friend and her boyfriend, who fought the entire time we waited for the food to come. (Always adds ambiance when people are fighting like cats and dogs next to you. Sets the mood. LOL)
Well, I can tell you the fighting stopped (but then got so much worse after) when my boyfriend proceeded to feed me my fruit appetizer. I have no idea where he got this idea, but it silenced the table and the three tables around us. Even the adults in the room stopped to watch. It was sexy and romantic all at once. Very cool teenage memory. ;)
Now on to the giveaway! I'm in a romantic mood and now I'm thinking about being fed (Mmmm...), so I'm going to give away a copy of one of my Sons of Navarus series because I can't think of anything better than a romantic dinner with one of those vampires! It will be winner's choice, so they can choose Brandon, the sexy, lonely vampire from Vampire Dreams Revamped; Vasilije, the sensual hedonist from Blood Avenged; or Saint, the brooding, haunted vampire from Blood Betrayed. (If you're new to the series, the prequel, Vampire Dreams Revamped is a good place to start. The third book in the series, Blood Spirit, will be released on September 17, so you can be all caught up by the time it arrives!)

This is without a doubt, the best Vampire series I have every read. You give a terrific new twist to these hunky vamps that no-one else has done.
Love them all and can't wait for Sept. 17th!!!

I'm a little things that add up sort of person... that romance that doesn't require a ton of plan, but exists because you think about the other person and something that you picked up on impulse reminds you of them.
I don't know which I would start with - I love paranormal romance..
thank you for participating

To me little gestures are more romantic that the big ones. It means the other person is paying attention.

Feeding your loved one is a courtship ritual among many species.
Your prom date must have been really into you.

For me, romance is all about the trust and respect built between the characters. Since I write BDSM, these elements are very important.

Why I like Romance Novels….The reason I like Romance Novels so much is because it is one place where I can be anywhere like England, Scotland, Rome, Ireland, or anywhere in the US. I can also be in any time like 1200’s Scotland, 1500’s England, 1900’s Chicago. I can be anyone like a princess, a servant, a werewolf, a duchess, a vampire, or a lost soul. But no matter what I get the privilege and the experience to overcome many different obstacles and find love. I am a mother of three teenagers as well and there are many days when I need an escape and my heart needs a rest from the trials of being a parent and trying to do what is best for everyone but yourself. I have overcome cancer, loss, and financial problems and Romance Books let my heart soar and feel free. Let me tell you in this world, and during this time where life can have so many struggles it is great that you can be, have, and do so many things to find love and romance and still be yourself!
