Please welcome another guest from Small Town Charm--Julie Anne Lindsey, author Bloom.

I love a good romance. Who doesn’t? What I don’t love is a
heroine who’s too waify. Too proper. Too snorey. When I set out to write my
first sweet romance, I hoped to create a woman who'd make readers smile. For
me, that meant making my heroine relatable...and again...for me, that
meant she needed to be kind of exuberant, perhaps even a well-meaning hot head.
*Looks in mirror* *waves*
Hey, I
like big personalities. I can't help myself. They make me smile. I
couldn’t help wonder what a slow speaking, hay baling, small town hero might do
if faced with an uptight, displaced former local? It was this course of thought
that led to my first sweet romance heroine. Voila! Cynthia Potter was born.
In Bloom, my heroine Cynthia says what she
means…at the moment… and causes a problem or two as a result. She’s feisty. I
like her. She puts her foot in her mouth. A lot. Gets caught kissing someone
she didn’t intend to kiss. (Who hasn’t been there?) And makes an
embarrassing discovery of biblical proportions. <-- a="" after="" bloom="" heart.="" hhh="" joke.="" my="" nbsp="" o:p="" own="" s="" she="" that="" woman="">
Writing
sweet romance opened a whole new world for me. I learned what mattered most was
the chemistry, banter and the will-he, won't she of it all.
I get screwed up in a knot on my couch writing every “Kiss her already!”
moment, and I love it. In sweet romance, every sentence leads up to the all-important
confession, “I love you.” And getting there is so much fun. Cynthia
finds a lot more than romance in Honey Creek, but you'll have to take a peek
for yourself to see what else. J
If you’re
in the mood for a sweet and sassy heroine , I hope you’ll visit Honey Creek.
It’s a beautiful place where anything can happen. Kick off your shoes, relax
into that porch swing and cuddle up to a steamy hot toddy. Take a trip to
Honey Creek. They're just a click away: See you there!
Bloom
by Julie Anne Lindsey
In a town filled with her past, she never expected to find her
future….Seven years ago Cynthia left Honey Creek with a broken heart. Three years ago Mitchell arrived with one. Now Cynthia’s come home, and these two hardened hearts can’t stop arguing. If they’d only take a break long enough to find some common ground, they might be surprised to find love can grow anywhere.
If they let it, love will find a way to Bloom.
