More sci-fi, a higher body count, and a much slower romance. The Day Before is a departure from my romance roots.
SLOW BURN MEANING SERIES
For those who haven’t read my Heroes and Villains series yet, I won’t spoil it for you… just know that they have to work for HEA. It was love at first sight, and it all went wrong.

Even Villains Fall in Love had a protagonist (he really isn’t a hero) who fell in love with his arch-enemy. As some of you know my first published work was based on insta-love. I’m just too stubbornly rational to accept that anyone could jump into a relationship without having a nice long talk about the serious things in life: how is the rent getting paid, who is taking the puppy to the vet, is there a TV in the bedroom or not? Communication is key to a healthy relationship and too often it seems an insta-lust romance sets characters up for a future visit to divorce court instead of the Happily Ever After we want for them.ĭon’t judge me too harshly for that assessment. Insta-love always leaves me just a bit suspicious. But a slow burning romance? The story that starts with strangers who cautiously learn to work as partners until they finally realize they love each other? That’s pure seduction in my book.Įyes meeting across a crowded room never did it for me. Seeing the searing passion of rage turn to passionate love is amazing. There are two romance tropes that will make me pick up a book every time, the enemies-to-lovers story and the slow burn romance.
