Stacy Reid | Madly in love….in Seven days!
December 9, 2015
Can two people fall in love after seven days of knowing each other? The hero and
heroine, Mikhail and Payton from the latest book in my Scandalous House of
Calydon series, THE ROYAL
CONQUEST, certainly believed it possible. After their initial meeting, the
witty and sensual banters, the illicit touches and the daring against
conventions to be together, Mikhail and Payton wanted to be with each other. “She had only been with Mikhail a total of seven days, and she wanted to lay her
heart and soul down before him. The idea terrified her. “ “I know I adore you. The utter wonder of meeting you and knowing you have taken
a piece of my heart, although I’ve only known you for seven days, has not
escaped me. I do not need seven weeks or seven years to know you are the woman
for me, Payton. I know it now. I see it in your smiles, your kisses, the passion
and joy you find in the simple pleasure of life. What I see I admire, and I can
only grow to love and appreciate you more.” I remembered when my hubby read my first draft, he said to me, “Seven days?” And I replied, “I write emotions that I know.” There was a pause, and then he
smiled and kissed me. For you see, I met him when I was fifteen years old, and
seven days later when he asked, “Will you be my girl?” I said “yes” because
without a doubt I loved and admired him most ardently. What I’d glimpsed of his
character I hungered for, what I’d tasted I could not do without, and the way he
made me laugh, I never wanted to lose such joy. From our first meeting I was
captivated by his charm and smarts, and when I went home I thought about him for
hours. When I saw him the next day at school I could not help but stare. On day
four he gave me my very first kiss, and my world narrowed only on his lips and
the sensations he made me feel. By day five, we strolled for hours, and we
talked and talked and laughed and talked some more… I was dizzy with the sweet
feelings in my heart. Now 15 years later it has been one hell of a ride. Wildly exciting, frustrating
at times, but I would never regret saying yes then, or seven years later when we
got married. In fact I still say yes to him for my heart lurches every time he
touches me…in a damn good way. Has our love grown? Oh Yes! Am I an anomaly? Absolutely not. My mother met my father and moved in with him
two weeks later to the distress of her family! They were married for 34 years
until she passed away this year. Did they have frustrating times, yep! Did they
have passionate and fun times? Oh Yes. What made me so sure? What made her so certain? Was it divine intervention? The
stars aligning in the universe? Whatever it is…I know the possibility of
enduring love in as little as seven days. I took the risks my heroine Payton took. I felt the pain of fearing my lover’s
touch as Mikhail did, and like them I have known scorching bliss and
contentment. Will Mikhail fall deeper in love with Payton and she with him, and
have years of happiness together? I have no doubt. What do you believe in? Love is possible in mere days? Or does it takes months
to know the right one?

His dark seduction will be her undoing After being cruelly jilted by a
lord who claimed to adore her, Miss Payton Peppiwell swore her future husband
would be as ordinary as she. Now if only her family would listen to her. Then
she meets Mikhail Konstantinovich, an untitled horse breeder, in a highly
improper and scandalous encounter. Never had Payton expected to be so attracted
to the dark, intriguing man, who seduces her to recklessness with a mere
stare. Mikhail abhors anything to do with intimacy. Yet Miss Peppiwell
stirs hunger and a need long forgotten in him. But Mikhail has a dark past—one
that means his lust must be sated in a way entirely unsuitable for a lady. But
his biggest secret will be the hardest for Payton to overcome: Mikhail is not
only titled, he’s a prince

It is absolutely possible to fall in love-or lust with
someone in 7 days. Yes, it takes time to get to truly know
someone, but it is definitely possible to fall in love with
someone in days, hours, minutes, seconds.

Love can strike om first sight.

I fell in love with my Husband in a matter of days. He didn't
know it at the time, but I carried the torch, and let him come to
his own realization. That was when the sparks flew!! We have
been married for over 30 years now, and they haven't all been
easy, but we know we did the right thing by being married to each
other. No marriage is easy, but when you both work towards the
same goal, it gets easier as you work towards the same goal. It
also helps once you can keep the clutter out of your life, and
just focus on yourselves. That took me a long time to learn, and
caused a lot of grief for me. I'm looking forward to reading
your book, and put it on my TBR list. Have a wonderful
Christmas!!

I believe love can hit you like a ton of bricks!!! I fell in love with my husband right from the start. Now we didn't marry for a few years but that love just kept growing and growing! I believe you recognize your soul mate right away!

Totally possibe---I fell in love with my first husband that
fast.
(Sue Farrell 11:22am December 10, 2015)
I think you can fall in love quickly... it is working things out and staying together that takes time.
(Colleen Conklin 12:03pm December 10, 2015)
My husband and I were the best friends that became
lovers, although he tells me all the time, he loved me
before then. :-) I guess I was the one who was slow on
the uptake. I do believe people can fall in love in that
short amount of time. But like Colleen Conklin said, it's
the working through every day issues and weathering the
tough spots and even the mundane ones that take time. But
love at first sight? Definitely! I'm a believer!

Thank you for adding my books to your shelf Marissa! And I
love that I am not the only one who knows love like this is
real!
(Stacy Reid 1:05pm December 10, 2015)
Yep...you are totally right about that one Colleen! And 3o
years Peggy! I love it! Thanks for adding my books to your TBR
lost! :)
(Stacy Reid 1:07pm December 10, 2015)
It can happen right away.

I think it's possible to fall in love in a matter of days you
may not recognize the feeling at first for what it is but your
heart certainly does!
(Dana Hopkins 11:22pm December 11, 2015)
love at first sight
(Debbi Shaw 1:05pm December 12, 2015)
I think that your heart truly knows when the right person is there for you all
the time!
(Susan Patterson 9:38pm December 13, 2015)
yes , I do believe you can fall in love with someone at first sight or in a few days of getting to know someone .Thanks for this giveaway and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year .

I was working at a week-end job when my husband first saw me -
he didn't even know my name or had spoken to me yet; he told his friend, Jimmy, "There's the girl I'm going to marry."
Of course, Jimmy said yeah, right.
That was over 50 years ago.
We will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary July 29, 2016.
We have had MANY ups and downs, but to me he is still SEXY.!!
(Ruth Chesick 4:25am December 14, 2015)
I believe it takes a while.
(Carrie Edmunds 12:12pm December 14, 2015)
It may actually falling in lust, but grow into love. 3 months
after we met, I said yes and 3 months later we were married. Now
we just recently celebrated out 42nd anniversary. And yes, we
still need to work on it.
(Nancy Luebke 7:38pm December 14, 2015)
Yes I believe you can fall in love at first sight. My Mom and Dad were married for 68 years and from the story it was love at first sight.
(Sharon Extine 12:01pm December 15, 2015)
I believe in love at first sight, but I think you also need time to get to know
someone too.
(Lily Shah 12:24pm December 15, 2015)
I believe that you can fall in love at first sight; but it takes both to make a marriage or relationship work. Happy holidays!!
(Cindy Davenport 6:03pm December 15, 2015)
I believe in love at first sight...it happened to me but then we really got to know it other before we married. His personality just came rushing out at me and that was it!
(Bonnie Capuano 11:59am December 16, 2015)
Love is possible. Sometimes it just takes time.
