Diane Alberts | Breaking the Stereotypes
December 16, 2014
Hello! I’m Diane Alberts, but I also write as Jen McLaughlin! I am here today
because I just released a new book in my Shillings Agency series with
Entangled Brazen! It’s called SEDUCING THE PRINCESS, and
it’s the third book in the series! The first two are TEMPORARILY YOURS and STEALING HIS HEART. In SEDUCING THE
PRINCESS, I play with the royal trope…but instead of the usual prince
sweeping a normal girl off her feet, I did the opposite. This time, it’s the
princess who woos a commoner…in this case, American bodyguard Gordon Waybrook. One thing I like to do in the Shillings Agency books is break
stereotypes. I don’t do damsels in distress or weak women. I like to write women
who can, and DO, stand on their own. If there’s one thing you can count on with
my Shillings Agency books, it’s this: The hero will talk dirty, the heroine will be independent, and there will be a
battle of wills. I was curious to know things that you like to see most in a book, or, on the
other hand, things you DON’T like to see in books. Tell me below in the comments! Also, make sure to enter below for a chance to win an eBook copy of either TEMPORARILY YOURS (book 1)
or STEALING HIS HEART
(book 2).

Re: Diane Alberts | Breaking the Stereotypes
It was a pleasure to learn about you and your books... thanks for sharing! (Colleen Conklin 12:15pm December 16, 2014)
I like humor, and unlike you apparently, am not particularly fond of dirty talking heroes. Definitely have to have independent heroines though. (Carol Gowett 5:37pm December 16, 2014)
I like happy endings. As for don't like, perhaps death of a good character. (Susan Jang 11:37pm December 16, 2014)
This sounds so good! Can't wait to read! I looove a bad-boy with a "secretly" good heart. Dirty talking sexy hero's are fantastic :D (Michelle Brown 3:10pm December 17, 2014)
Sounds interesting. Must give it a try. (Kantu Malhotra 6:42pm December 17, 2014)
I like happy endings, humor, & strong heroines. (Kv H 6:52pm December 17, 2014)
Merry Christmas & Seasons Greetings to one and all. I enjoy reading about women and men with backbones. I don't like reading books where you don't know who in the world the author is talking about and when they use "He" or "She" too much. Who is "He?" Is he the main character or the butler that you just talked about a few sentences ago? (Holly Loch 3:57am December 18, 2014)
I like strong characters and happily ever afters. I also like it when a book is part of a series and the reader gets to catch up with couples from previous books and see how they are doing. (Jen Barnard 8:18am December 18, 2014)
I like strong heroes who are not afraid to say I love you or I'm sorry, a good love story with a happy ending. (Linda Harrison 8:45am December 18, 2014)
Sounds like you have all the right ingredients for a fantastic story! (Denise Austin 11:03am December 18, 2014)
