About I live in Midwestern Illinois with my happily-ever-after husband of 28 years. We have two adult children, a rowdy miniature dachshund puppy, and two equally rowdy grand puppies. My husband and I enjoy travel, music, wine, and bourbon tasting. As a reader, I look for the covers that speak to me and then find the biggest of those books, and then read the blurb.

Evelyn Sola | FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH A BOOK BOYFRIEND
Author Guest / September 17, 2021

I think it’s safe to say that a swoon-worthy hero, the ever-elusive book boyfriend, is what makes a good book great.  As a reader, I’m always chasing this man. To me, he’s like the unicorn of the contemporary romance world. They come in many forms. We have the nice guys, alpaholes, daddies, and Dominants, mob bosses, to name just a few. What’s swoon-worthy for one reader might not cut it for another. For example, I tend to prefer the nice guy to the alphahole, but nice guys and alphaholes can share many things in common. All the heroes in every single book I’ve written are different, but they each possess some of the same attributes that make me swoon. I’ve been reading romance way before I started writing, and it’s all about the hero for me. Yes, I love a strong, feisty heroine, but I read to find a book boyfriend, and now that I’m a writer, I can mold and shape my hero to meet my book boyfriend criteria. Here are the five things that make me fall in love with a fictional character, whether a nice guy or not. POSSESSIVENESS – A hero who knows what he wants…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR The only thing I love as much as reading is chocolate. However, my husband and dog come a close second and third. I met my husband at the end of my first year of university, when we both worked for a summer at McDonalds. On our first day, he cracked a dirty joke and I was the only one who laughed. That’s how he knew he had to lock me down. When we’re not in a Covid world, I enjoy travel. I live in New Zealand, so it’s a long flight from here to anywhere and it’s nice to see outside the borders of my beautiful country. I wrote my first book when I…
