Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Renee Ann Miller. Writes: Renee Ann writes sexy historical romances where there is drama, lots of feels, some giggles, and always a happily ever after. Her heroes need an independent and strong heroine to show them what they are missing out on in life. Her current series is the Infamous Lords. There are six books in the series, but most readers feel they can be read as standalones. Her newest book, NEVER MARRY A SCANDALOUS DUKE, is about Lady Sara Elsmere, an entomologist who is so firmly on the shelf, that she might as well be nailed in place. Not that Sara minds. She is far more concerned about her study of butterflies than society’s gossip. Of course, it’s also true that the nervous laughter that ruined Sara’s debut still haunts her. The hero, Ian McAllister, the Duke of Dorchester, is perfectly satisfied to remain a rogue for the rest of his days. But when he finds he has kissed the wrong woman at a masquerade ball, albeit…

It’s our great pleasure to present Angie Hockman!   Writes: Angie writes romantic comedies that will make you laugh, swoon, cheer, and sigh happily through the night. She loves crafting perfectly imperfect characters with quirky personalities who aren’t afraid to explore what they truly want out of life and love. Romantic relationships rooted in mutual respect are a must (no toxic, controlling alpha males here!).

1–What is the title of your latest release? THEIR BARCELONA BABY BOMBSHELL 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Isabella Rivas is a free-spirited paramedic and Carlos Martinez is a nurse on a mission, determined to discover more about his late father. Barcelona brought them together, but will their pasts tear them apart? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Well, this book is actually part of a continuity, meaning four books tied together through the setting and also the characters—who are sometimes related or just work together in the same facility—so the Barcelona setting was already chosen for me when I received the brief from the editors. But don’t worry. Each book is a standalone and you can start with any of them (though we hope that once you finish one book, you’ll want to read the rest!) 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely. Isabella Rivas, my heroine, is such a cool person. Strong, independent, yet caring and so concerned about the well-being of those around her. She a caretaker, grew up in that role, so she’s used to taking charge and making sure things get done right….

There were a lot of little towns in this area of New Mexico that are now long gone, but still interesting for what they offered. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Probably not at the start. She’s spoiled and opinionated and thinks she’s got all the answers. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Loyal, determined, and Godly. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I always learn something, whether it’s some tidbit about how banking in a silver mine company town often enslaved people to a point they could never hope to leave.
