Cindi Madsen | ADDICTED TO LOVE

bookbubamazongoodreadstwitterfacebookInstagram

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to love. Stories, that is. Real life, too,
actually. I like the butterflies and romantic chemistry whenever two people who
are meant to be are near each other, and I like yelling at the characters in
books or movies to "Kiss already!"

So, I decided to put my romance addiction to good use, and write stories filled with it. The idea behind my Accidentally in Love series was to have two people who don't exactly mean to be in love with each other, but find themselves falling anyway. In FALLING FOR HER FIANCÉ, it was best friends who faked an engagement, and were terrified their desire to be more would screw up their friendship. In ACT LIKE YOU LOVE ME, an actress gets a second chance on her first crush. In the final book in the series, RESISTING THE HERO, I've got Connor, a SWAT hero who falls for his best friend's sister, even though he knows it's a bad idea. And while Faith's sworn off hero types, she's having a hard time resisting the bad boy once she sees what a good man he is.

I like taking characters who have a lot of challenges to get over to be
together, but also find that their lives our better with each other in it. It's
also fun to make two people who didn't expect it to fall in love. Despite Faith
and Connor's best intentions to steer clear of each other, preparing for the
town's Fall Festival keeps pushing them together, and they start to become
friends. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny the spark
between them. There's also something about a man who's dedicated his life to
trying to keep people safe.

Sparks, humor, and seeing characters find that one person that's hard to live
without. It's what keeps me going back again and again to my favorite romantic
movies and books, and why I love trying out new ones that promise a happily ever
after. They always make me smile and sigh, and that's why I can't help but be
addicted to love, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The first book, FALLING FOR HER FIANCÉ is only $.99 why not start with it?

About FALLING FOR HER FIANCE

Resisting her brother's best friend is futile...

Faith Fitzpatrick isn't looking for a hero. Burned one too many times in the past, she's now sworn them off completely. And when her brother's best friend, Connor, convinces him to join the dangerous SWAT team, Faith has never been more anti-hero. What's wrong with having a safe job? There's nothing safe about Connor. Confident, sexy, and sporting a six-pack that should be illegal, he's everything she doesn't want.

When his best friend's sister moves to town, local cop Connor Maguire knows he's in trouble. Faith is feisty, funny, and talks trash like nobody's business. She's also his partner's sister—and so totally off limits. Working on the Fall Festival together, they agree to a truce and become friends. But the more time Connor spends with Faith, the more he's willing to risk the wrath of her brother. If he could only convince her to take a risk on him, too.

Re: Cindi Madsen | ADDICTED TO LOVE

All 3 of these stories sound like they're going to be a good read, and I can't wait to read your book, and find out how you let them play out!! I'm glad that you're a hopeless Romantic like I am, and I, too, love to read a good Romance - be it a story, or an entire book about one set of characters!! Congratulations on your book, and I will be looking forward to getting cozy one more time in my favorite chair, with a cup of hot chocolate, and this book to keep me warm. What timing with this book to warm a person up on the last half of Winter, and put a smile on your face!!

Love the plot! Especially the whole forbidden love trope where the hero's not supposed to get involved with his friend's sister.Yep, that'll lead to a whole lot-of-trouble.

I do love the falling in love totally by accident stories! All three of these look like great fun books!
