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 Tracy Broemmer! Writes Women’s Fiction and Contemporary Romance. My latest women’s fiction release is The Valentine Suite, which came out on August 20, 2021. My latest contemporary romance is the small-town romance in the Blue Collar Romance series called Hold Onto the Stars.

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…
