Friends, I’ve had a large number of “unrealistic” things happen to me. Once, many years ago, when I felt I was so alone in this world, I broke down in the living room of the home I was now sharing—mostly with new friends. It wasn’t an easy time. I’d just separated from my partner. I didn’t really know why I was still in USA. Also, my parents were unavailable to me—for one, my father, a Frank Sinatra fan (that’s important!) was dead, and I was really feeling that. So, inside my head, I cried, “I’m so alone!” And as soon as I had, my laptop in my bedroom switched itself on, opened my iTunes library, and started playing Frank Sinatra’s Me & My Shadow—a song about never being alone.
Unusual story, right? Which brings me to this. As the naysayers love to point out, category romance can absolutely be unrealistic. And that’s often how I like it to be. Then again, when the protagonist, Dara, cares so much about a business deal that she scales the walls of a towering Sicilian nightclub in her high heels, it has nothing to do with the paranormal. Yes, it’s unlikely. But that just shows she’s brave AF.
The Harlequin novel in question is called Resisting The Sicilian Playboy by Amanda Cinelli. It’s super-fun—one of my fave Presents novels. If you like category romance, check it out!
Wishing you supernatural wonders, my friends.
