Sandra Marton | ESCAPE FROM REALITY… and it’s non-fattening!
July 2, 2009
The Chinese have an old saying: “May you live in interesting times.” Well, we’re
certainly living through interesting times right now, don’t you think? Of
course, whether those times are good or bad is up for discussion.
Life can be a challenge. There are small challenges:
How to get one kid to
dance class and the other to swim class at the same time.
What to make for
dinner when it’s 6 o’clock and you’ve just come through the door.
How to do
three things at once before you leave your desk for the day.
And there are big
challenges:
Losing a job.
Serious illness.
Relationships gone bad.
Whatever
happens to us, we can all use a bit of escape at the end of a long day. A
book is perfect. And, unlike chocolate, It’s calorie-free!
Welcome you to the worlds I create for Harlequin Presents and to my current
novel, BILLIONAIRE PRINCE,
PREGNANT MISTRESS. Prince Alexandros Karedes has everything. He’s rich,
powerful, gorgeous and sexy. Maria Santos is a talented, struggling jewelry
designer. She’s not looking for romance but after one breathtaking night in
Alex’s arms, Maria is lost. She knows Alex is all wrong for her. He knows it,
too, but he can’t forget her. Now, weeks later, he comes to New York to claim
her. When she tries to deny him, Alex uses the one thing Maria most wants—the
highly coveted commission to make his mother the queen’s birthday necklace—to
force her into his life and into his bed. But Maria is proud. She’s
independent. She won’t be a pushover for any man… not even when that man is a
Prince… and especially not once she knows she’s carrying his child.
Reading is a wonderful way to relax after a busy day of working, cleaning up making meals; definitely better than chocolate when you look in the mirror (Diane Sadler 10:30am July 2)
I've always found that a book (or two or three) makes anything bearable! And non-fattening too.
And probably better for your health as well! (Sara J Reyes 1:25pm July 2)
As I sit here reading I am also eating some of my trail mix. I MUST multi-task :>) (Karin Tillotson 1:58pm July 2)
Your book sounds wonderful...just the kind to take your mind off all of the daily worries. (Robin McKay 3:21pm July 2)
Times may be interesting, but how wonderful to go to another world where romance is always in the air and love just around the corner. Your book should take me there. It sounds great. (Rosemary Krejsa 9:01pm July 2)
You are right. After a long day, a nice relaxing read is just what I need. Sometimes I want suspense, sometimes a little magic, and sometimes a bit of romance. Books are such great friends! (Patricia Barraclough 11:41pm July 2)
Reading is a great way to mentally escape your daily life...you meet a variety of people, travel to different placed, and you get to eat some really yummy food without gaining an ounce! (Patsy Hagen 12:54pm July 4)
