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.

A #Valentine #Novella- New Release from Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels

I'm very excited to announce the progress on our Valentine Novella due for release in early February in time for Valentine weekend.

Update on Blurb

I want to share the #Blurb for STOLEN VALENTINE KISS with you. Please tell me what you think. I can still tweak the blurb.

STOLEN VALENTINE KISS - Blurb


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?

One Stolen Valentine's Kiss sounds good.
Happy writing!

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Thank you, Kiru for your good wishes. 'One Stolen Valentine's Kiss' is great. I'm tempted to alter the title.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

@unwankwor left a comment on Twitter (for the blurb):

@stellaea Nice. I'd change this around a bit. I think Lorna's part is fine except for the last sentence. Logan's part needs work, confused on connection between the lamp post and volunteering. Congratulations on the endeavor. Let me know when it out!

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

@unwankwor, Thank you so much for your very helpful feedback on the blurb. As you suggested, I have tweaked Logan's end of the blurb. I'm very grateful.

I'll let you know when STOLEN VALENTINE KISS is released, Unoma. It'll be in early Feb. Enjoy your week.

Sifulya Asanyeva Gowonovna says on Facebook;

Hmmmmm...I like it and yes, I would read it Speaking of reading Stella...

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Ella de Castillo says on Facebook:

You just love interracial romance!!

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Omolara Agbaje says on Facebook:

I like it (blurb) and I will read anything Stella writes.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Margie Church says on Facebook:

I think it's too long. It offers too much detail. Write the blurb from the perspective of the person who "owns" the book. My two cents.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Thank you for your comment, Sifulya Asanyeva Gowonovna and Omolara Agbaje. Glad you want to read it. I'm very excited too. The story is well underway. Well past 54% word count. Cheers ladies.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Glad for your input, Margie. I'll trim it. You can tell me what you think afterwards. Thumbs up

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Thanks Ella, I love interracial romance. I love blonde hair and blue eyes as much as black hair and dark eyes. What do I do? I write about mixed race! Lol!

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Simone Beaudelaire says on Facebook:

Interracial is really hot, Stella. I do a lot of white/Hispanic pairings...and my WIP is interracial, but with a twist

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Chicki Brown says on Facebook:

I agree with Margie. I think you should combine the two paragraphs and condense into one short one.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Margie Church responds on Facebook:

We usually strive for under 200 words.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Will hold my breath for your upcoming title...

Mixed race!!! Even my daughter has caught the interracial fever! Lol! Thank you, Simone.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Hi Chicki, thank you. I'll shorten it and repost. Will one long blurb make an easier read?

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

@Unwankwor says on Twitter:

You could do without "When Logan walks in offering to volunteer, Lorna gets suspicious" Try "Just what she needs to take her mind of the fleeting holiday. That is until she runs into Logan''

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Huge thanks Unoma. Read this;

Juie Shetye says on Facebook:

Love the way the paragraphs are written. I think you should keep it this way. Small paragraphs with catch phrases, makes the objects more clear. Looking forward for reading it.

Flirty & Feisty Romance said...

Huge thanks so much for your suggestion, Juie. I will. How are you? I'll let you know, you bet!
