What happens when characters create dating profiles for each other?

We’re about to find out. I asked Jared and Sable from Jaguar’s Judgment to create a dating profile for each of other. I’m very interested in seeing what they came up with, so I brought them with me today.

Hello, guys. Thanks for coming and sharing your profiles with us.
Sable: You’re welcome. I had fun creating my profile for Jared. I think I nailed him.
Jared: [grows but one side of his mouth lifts] I’m not sure if fun would be the word I’d use, but I have put together Sable’s profile.

Lia: I have a hunch that we’ll have more fun listening to you read them. Sable, why don’t you go first?

Sable: [smiles wide] My pleasure. So here’s Jared prefect dating profile.

Dark, sexy jaguar seeking strong, confident female.

Name: Jared Nickels
Age: old
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Brown
Height: 6’ 2”
Species: black jaguar

Short Bio: I’m a born justice and lived most my life as a lone-cat until my parents passed away and left my baby sister in my care. I like quiet evenings at home and long runs under the full moon.

Prefect Mate: She’s strong, confident, and caring. A great mother to cubs. And she won’t hesitate to kill to protect her family.

Warning: this is for entertainment purpose only. Jared is happily mated to a female who will kill to protect what is hers.

Jared: [presses his lips together before speaking] Was the warning necessary?
Sable: Yes.
Jared: Un huh. Well I did mine a little different and less online mating site style.

Sable Darwin-Nickels, if she was available—which she is not—is strong, stubborn, a caring and protective mother, and beautiful. She likes to be dominated, but only on her terms. She loves chick flicks, spending time with her son, and making rogues pay for their sins. If you enjoy beatings by her jealous mate, give her a call.

Sable: [crosses her arms and glares at him] You are not funny.
Jared: [shrugs] I never said I was. But I did say you were beautiful.
Sable: You did…
Jared: Besides you described yourself in the perfect female part of yours.
Sable: [moves to sit in his lap] Because I’m your mate and no one else can have you.
Jared: The same goes for you.
Sable: I’ll have it no other way.

Lia: That went better than I’d expected. I mean, sometimes they can be a little… well, they can misbehave and things can get too heated if you know what I mean.

Thanks for coming by. You can read Jared and Sable’s story in Jaguar’s Judgment (Ashwood Falls, book 6)

You Want Me to Settle? Hell No!

“Romance novels and romance novel heroes are unrealistic and a total fantasy.”

As a writer of romance novels, I hear this phrase often. As a single woman who writes romance novels, I hear this statement all of the time.

A few weeks ago a reporter asked me if romance novels should be used as guides for relationships, to which I answered “absolutely!” But often I am told that I am setting myself up for disappointment for believing that I could have a relationship like those in my books, and more specifically find a man who is like my heroes. I have been told that I need to lower my standards.

Excuse me? Back up. You want realistic? Let’s get real.

Take away the man chest book cover and let’s look inside at the men in my books. Here is what they all have in common:

*Kindness           *Compassion             *Intelligence         *Courageous     *Wicked Sense of Humor
*Loyal        *Takes Pride in Their Appearance       *Has the Ability to Rip it Up Between the Sheets
*Has Respect for Themselves and Others

So I ask, the man described above is a fantasy? Why? Some would say, “No one is perfect, Anna.”  Ah, but notice I never mention perfection. Perfection is unrealistic. And my heroes are not perfect. They have their quirks and faults, sometimes they make poor choices, but at their core they are good human beings who find someone who inspires them to be a better person. Not perfect, better. 

Of course the door swings both ways. As the heroine in my own story, I strive to be like the women in my books. Those characteristics are not that much different than my heroes. Compassion, kindness, possess a generosity of spirit, loyal, and holds respect for others. I won’t be a martyr and will ask for help when needed, but I’ll  do all that I can to save myself. I take pride in my appearance and yes, I am adventurous in the bedroom.  I will give as good as I get.

To the people of the world I say don’t lower your standards, instead rise them up! I am not going to settle, and I do not want to be the person someone else has settled for.  

Available now for only $2.99 on Amazon!
You want me to choose between fantasy or reality, I’ll take the fantasy every time. Who’s with me?

Until next time y’all,
