Favorite Vacation Destination

Michel- I really loved going to Jamaica, I got to cliff dive, float in the sea, snorkel and spend time relaxing. It’s a laid back culture. The hardest part for my husband and I was turning off the internal schedule. Since we didn’t have our son with the only people we needed to entertain was ourselves. The people of Jamaica are great at helping the tourists stop, sit and relax. I need to go back when we have more time now that I’ve finally learned how to vacation.

Things I Like Doing When I’m Not Writing

Reana – My two favorite hobbies are reading and dancing! There is nothing better than settling down with a good book and escaping into a new world and getting to know the characters. Reading is escapism for me and after a hard day of work, to just enjoy diving into a new universe is one of the best things for me. Dancing is another thing I love. All types of dancing! In 2007, I began taking country line dance lessons and it’s so much fun. My husband isn’t a fan, but he humors me a lot and will take me out and just hangout while I live on the dancefloor.

Sterling and Elizabeth Jackson have built a life most would envy. A beautiful home, two wonderful children and a very comfortable lifestyle. Yet something is tearing them apart. With divorce looming, they are trying to make it through the holiday season for their family.

With clashing schedules, demands from employers and two busy kids, the former lovers have managed to stay out of each other’s orbit, at least for a while. But Fate, or maybe their well-meaning family, has set them up on a collision course.

Past memories bubble up to the surface and there’s nothing to stem the flow. What once was amazing has turned hurtful and full of pain. But is that the real story? Is it too late for a couple who once lived and breathed for each other to find their way back?

There’s a thin line between love and hate. Will Sterling and Elizabeth be able to mend a love that seems broken and lost, or will the final pull on the holiday ribbon unwrap their last chance to save their marriage.

Enjoy an Excerpt:

Pulling herself together as the memory faded, Beth put on a pair of fuzzy pajama bottoms and an old t-shirt from college. With her hair already in a ponytail, she was ready for bed. When she opened the closet door, the sound of a shower caught her, quickly followed by steam. The glass of their shower door was misted over but she could still make out Sterling’s dark form inside. His hands were locked together with his fingers splayed. Catching water in his palms, then bringing them over his head to rinse the soap from his skin, his back arched. Beth’s core clenched. How long had it been since he’d touched her? Since she’d been touched at all? Her eyes traveled down his body making out the smudged form through the glass. If the old adage about the first husband being all about good looks, then he hit it on all levels. Traces of white trailed along his dark skin from the soap and she leaned against the doorjamb to watch the show. He wouldn’t be thinking she was ogling him and technically, he was still her husband.

She shifted and moved away when her hand grazed the extra flesh of her stomach. No wonder he wasn’t groping at her. She wasn’t the same young woman he’d met all those years ago. Life changed her. No, she’d allowed herself to change and as a result, it changed his attraction to her. After the divorce was final, if she ever wanted to be touched again, something would need to be done.

The shower turned off. She pulled away from the bathroom door and crawled into her side of the bed. Facing away from the en suite bathroom, she buried her face in her pillow and wondered when the man of her dreams had begun to despise the sight of her.

GUEST BLOG: REANA MALORI

My first typed word of the very first book I wrote was the hardest one I ever had to put on paper. As I made the commitment to put pen to paper, or more accurately – finger to keyboard – and finally took the leap of faith and become an author, there were several questions I had answer. The first question was “why”. Why was I going to write this story and put it out there for others to read and potentially criticize? The second question was “how.” How does one write passion, desire, and love into a story and convey all the things that readers need and want in a story? It was more than just the basics of character names, location, descriptions, and story line. It was not only the typical scenes of kissing and sensual touching, with the words on paper detailing every soft touch of lips, each whispered word of love and desire. More than ever, I now had to struggle with communicating the emotions and feeling of the characters and building a connection between two people with words alone.

Every book I write attempts to express this one universal…love conquers all. With that single premise as the basis for the overall story, the universe within the story then begins to form and build. One then has to tackle the challenge of how to bring the primary characters together in such as way that the attraction between them can no longer be avoided. As the story builds, the desire to be with one another should become a force so strong that the hero and heroine are unable to resist. The liver helps transform many toxic substances into harmless agents, which the blood carries away to the kidneys; the liver also sends wastes through the bile duct and cialis usa sphincter of Oddi into the duodenum where fatty foods are digested. It is not difficult cialis cheap uk to solve this problem not by re-evaluating their steroid stack, but by adding more drugs to the mix. cialis online online It can be prevented through intake of foods rich in beta carotene, zinc and vitamin C. But if you do not http://www.devensec.com/ISRS2016Presentations.html levitra wholesale have time or are uncomfortable leaving your house. Differences no longer matter, be it race, socio-economic status, location, age, or another determining factor, and at the end of the day, nothing else matters but the love they feel for one another. Because after all, love conquers all…

As I writer, I struggle to express all of these things, love, emotions, and unfiltered need and desire with my words. As I look back at the stories I have published, and the ones that are not quite finished, the characters that have come through on paper have taken on a life of their own. They have individual personalities, needs, and wants, and I hope the reader can find something within each character that connects them and makes it personal. If I can create a story that generates a strong response, be it laughter, tears, or anger, then I have done my job well and pulled the reader into my imagination, my world, even if only for a few hours.

Reana Malori is a pseudonym for a chick with dreams of world domination. However, if that’s not possible, I’m willing to settle for being one of the best interracial romance / erotica writers on the market. As a true believer in romantic, my stories will always have a “happily ever after” even when hot and steamy bedroom scenes are included. I am first and foremost a fan of romance and erotica and have been an avid reader since the age of fourteen. As I continue to write, my ultimate goal is to provide the reader with a way to live vicariously through my characters and escape into my universe, if only for a few hours.
