About Me

London
I’m Stella, Author & Publisher of 40 Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels. I’ve been married to my too-hot-to-handle, sexy husband for over 23 years, we have two adult children to God’s glory and live in London, UK. My romance stories feature sexy heroes who have hearts and souls and curvy heroines who are smart and know what they want. My lively, flawed characters who on their quest to find love will elevate your pulse rate, make your heart skip here & there, so that you’ll laugh, shed a tear sometimes and gasp for breath as their story unfolds. If an emotionally intense happy-ever-after is what you want coupled with a sprinkling of life lessons, turn to chapter one now & start reading. When I'm not writing, I'm having a laugh watching movies with my honey-boo, swimming like a star fish, or on mom duties with my grown-ups, or praising God in my own corner of the world. I dare you to read any or all of my steamy romance stories. I’ll love to hear from you.

What Makes a Movie or Book Hero Wonderful to the Point Your Toes Curl?

Welcome to the Winter Wonder Man Blog Hop hosted by H.D Thomson. It runs from January 16 - 19th.

This is an absolutely exciting hop with over fifty blogs participating.

What Makes a Movie or Book Hero Wonderful to the Point Your Toes Curl?

From my point of view, what makes a hero wonderful to the point my toes curl is a combination of looks, character and the story.

A hero has his hold on me from the start, if he's gorgeous! Yes, I'm a sucker for good looks in a movie or in a book. If I want it any other way, I'll gladly turn to reality.

For my toes to curl, my heart to warm and to sustain my interest the hero has to be true to himself, have strength of character, show consistency, be nice but have a mind of his own.

I love heroes who dish out ultimatum and follow through until they get results. Again, he must have just the right amount of arrogance mixed with subtle humility. Sounds complex? He's the ultimate package!

The hero that captures my heart is sexy and wild, loyal and kind but has an edge to him and does the unpredictable.

He's a package of attraction and connection.


Bradley James, Kevin Costner, Denzel Washington sure make me swoon.

STOLEN VALENTINE KISS - Blurb

One broken heart. Two grieving minds. 

One broken heart. Two grieving minds.
To Lorna Ibe, Departmental Manager with one of London's multi-channel retailers, Valentine's Day lost its romantic flavour years ago. An unplanned holiday to New Jersey is her perfect getaway from the stress and emotional turmoil locked in her heart, just what she needs to take her mind off the fleeting holiday. That's until she runs into Logan.

Magazine publisher, Logan Blake has had his fair share of stress in the past few years. When his sister asks him to drop off old clothes to charity, he has a minor accident in front of the charity shop where Lorna volunteers. When he sets eyes on her bare midriff as she wipes the display window, he clears his busy schedule to volunteer his time. Two burdened hearts afraid to get entwined.

One Stolen Valentine Kiss. Will Valentine season bring them romance or will their fears keep them apart?

CapeFearLibn said...

Arrogance and humility? That's a tough line for any real man to dance. I guess that's why we like fiction! I like a smart guy with a sense of humor, self-deprecating.

Dear bn100, I'm elated you think the blurb doesn't give too much away. I can't take all the credit. I got help trimming it from my very helpful fellow Authors and Readers. I owe them immense gratitude.

Hi Jenny, many thanks for connecting. I'll hop over to your blog. Keep writing and best wishes.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Hello Cathy, yes, a bit of arrogance makes him the hero that he is and a dash of humility softens him up, making him down-to-earth. My toes are curling *wink*
I love a hero who can laugh at himself, you are so right. Fiction is my guilty pleasure. Anything goes. The wilder the attributes, the better. Lol!

Thank you so much for your visit and for sharing your views. I really do value your contribution.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

I'm hopping on one foot, Delphina because you love the blurb. I can guarantee you the story is yummier! Lol!
