Today we welcome Melissa Stevens as she talks about romance and what it means to her.  Plus we get a peek at what she thinks makes Jade and Steve, from her newest Jade’s Peace, work as a couple.

*****

I should probably start with saying that my idea of romance isn’t just two people fall in love and live happily ever after. In order for it to be a good match, in order for it to be believable for me, I need them to be able to work together to face whatever comes their way. To deal with the stresses and trials of life together, not work separately then present the solution or the solved problem to the other. Working together is part of what makes a couple whole.

In Jade’s Peace, I’ve tried to show how Steve and Jade do just that. Steve supports Jade and pushes her to do what needs to be done to help her through the issues from her past. At the same time, Jade helps Steve to see past the problem that had left him to leave her behind so many years ago.

To me, this shows that not only are they compatible now, but they will be for years, because whatever troubles and trials come their way, they’ll face them together. What better sign is there that it will last?

Blurb:

Steve left his hometown to avoid doing something he knew he would regret. Now, ten years later, the girl he left to avoid has come looking for him, but she’s not a child anymore.

Jade has spent the last six years haunted by memories and nightmares. At a turning point in her life, she’s tired of waiting for something to change. She tracks down the only person she’s ever been drawn to, a man she hasn’t seen in more than ten years. But can she convince him that their differences don’t matter, that together they can both find peace?

Author Info:

Melissa was born and raised in Arizona, she’s spent her entire life living across the southern half of the state. She’s found that, along with her husband and three children, she prefers the small towns and rural life to feeling packed into a city.

She started reading at a very young age, and her love for series started early, as the first real books she remembers reading is the Boxcar Children series by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Through the years she’s found that there’s little she won’t read, and her tastes vary from westerns, to romance, to sci-fi / fantasy and Horror.
