Ladies: Love is difficult at the best of times. The squeal-worthy feeling of in-love-ness doesn’t last forever, and eventually we are faced with a person we chose while we were letting our libido rule our choices. Choosing wisely is paramount, even for a short love affair. Gut reactions can be the best ones, but we need a measure of caution along with that sexual attraction that gets an initial love affair off to a wonderful beginning.
No one understands love better than a romance novelist. When you’re in the business of dreaming up steamy love scenes and intense relationships, you learn a lot along the way. We asked the authors behind Passion & Danger, a new 10 book set, to share their ultimate love lesson for achieving a happily ever after from each of their 10 stories.
Lesson #1: When love is staring you in the face, don’t push it away.
Deadly Offerings by Alexa Grace
Lesson #2: Guarding your heart too well can lead to heartbreak.
Stolen in Paradise by Toby Neal Love
Lesson #3: Be true to yourself.
Deadly Obsession by Kristine Cayne
Lesson #4: Love should make you feel good about yourself.
Revenge by Dana Delamar
Lesson #5: When a relationship is over, don’t rebound too fast.

Choose wisely and enjoy the ride, remembering that no one person is absolutely perfect and if you find you need to put a little Passion & Danger into your lives, reading romance is a wonderful distraction!
