Romance – Sweet or Spicy?

I love writing romance. The amount of detail I include in the love scenes depends on who I am writing for. What kind of stories do you like to read – sweet, or spicy?

Sweet Romance

At the moment, I’m busy working on short stories and a Pocket Novel for The People’s Friend. “The Friend” is a British weekly magazine known for its family-friendly content. It publishes optimistic, feel-good stories. The magazine’s readers appreciate its consistent quality and wholesome content.

Not all my stories for “The Friend” feature romance, but when they do, it’s definitely sweet. A happy ever after is always guaranteed!

You can sample my most recent Pocket Novel, The Wishing Tree, here.

Spicy Romance

My first published novels were for Harlequin Mills and Boon’s Modern Romance line (known as Harlequin Presents in the US). You can find my UK titles here, and my US titles here.

My most recent contemporary romance is Royal Passion, which is the first book in my Royal Romances series. Readers of this type of story want to explore the physical and emotional attraction between the hero and heroine. The central characters experience tense internal conflicts and emotional responses at a level that would be completely out of place in anything I write for The People’s Friend.

Sweet, or Spicy?

I love writing to please readers, so I’m happy to create stories at whatever heat level they like best. Do you prefer your romance sweet, spicy, or somewhere in between? Let me know by posting your answer in the comments box below!
