Month of Love Questionnaire & Giveaway: Bree from Moira Rogers
*Giveaway Now Closed*
Everyone please welcome Bree from the writing duo Moira Rogers to Paperback Dolls!
We know that you don’t have a lot of time so we’ve come up with small ‘Proust’ style interview to get to know your romantic side a little better, but first can you tell our readers who you are? What your books are about?
We’re a couple of friends who like to write books! Really, it’s that simple. Donna and I have a love affair with speculative romance and all things paranormal, from a hint of psychic power to werewolves roaming the streets or demons taking over the skies. We’ve written dozens of novels, novellas and short stories, all with a paranormal twist and a happily ever after.
What do you think romance is?
I think it’s about love and finding the person you care about more than yourself. And for me, love is about being willing to sacrifice, and mutual love is wanting to sacrifice for someone who doesn’t want to let you.
Do you believe in destiny?
Hmmmm. Yes. And no. I like to think that some things are meant to be, but I like writing about the ones that aren’t! Fighting destiny can be fun.
Do you believe men or women are more romantic? Who is more sentimental?
Oh, I don’t think it necessarily depends on whether you’re a man or a woman. Some people are more sentimental than others, regardless of gender. I wish we lived in a world where men didn’t get teased about it, though. ;)
What’s the difference between attractive and sexy? Sexy and erotic?
I’d say…attractive is about seeing, sexy is about feeling and erotic is about doing.
What romances are on your “Keeper Shelf”?
Oooh, lots! Everything that Meljean Brook has ever written, for starters. I love the Hearts of the South series by Linda Winfree, and enjoy the Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh. I’m quite taken with Sarah Mayberry and always enjoy reading new books by Ava Gray and Vivian Arend. And there are probably so many I’m not including, but I could run out of space if I kept going!

I love the distinctions she makes among attractiveness, sexiness and erotic appeal! If she’s that witty in her novels, I should check them out. =)

Romance is all about letting your heart do the talking. Telling and showing that special someone the importance of their place in your world. And, of course, having fun in the process.

Romance is displaying your love for the other person in a way that they will be pleased. Some like the wine and dine, others a quiet evening at home cuddled up on the couch. And some of us just like when the hubs takes our hand when we’re out in public.

I think romance is displaying your love for someone by giving gifts that typically represent love or by doing things together that represent love, with an effort behind it, more than just doing the deed.

romance is the little things that get done around the house. From a husband to do the dishes or watch a movie that he doesn’t care for :)
I’ve always wanted to read this author.

Romance is all about making an effort. You see a way to make the other person smile and you do it. It really is the thought that counts.

Romance could be anything – it just shows that the person had you in mind trying to do something special for you.

I think it as simple as spending time even doing nothing with someone you care about.

Romance is whatever you make it. I know that sounds like a cop out, but it’s not. Some folks like hearts and flowers, others like tickle and slap, still others have more eclectic tastes.
In the end, it’s a way to reach out and to share, I suppose.

Romance is letting your heart and actions speak for you. It’s making someone smile or laugh. Showing love without words.

Romance is where you are willing to show what your heart feels. whether it be in poems, flowers , dinners alone but anyway to let the other person know what is in your heart.

Romance is making yourself vulnerable to the person you love- and would seem creepy coming from someone you don’t like.

Romance is the feeling of being connected. – The way you think, the way you talk, whether or not you enjoy teasing, laughing, challenging each other or just sitting quietly, breathing. Romance is a conversation silent or otherwise between two people. It lites a spark, there’s an epiphany of realizing you really see someone, and then you dance -

I’m not actually entering, but I absolutely loved your answer to that first question, what is romance. About sacrfice, and the other person not wanting them to.

Great interview. Hum what romance means to me. Having someone make you feel like you are the sexiest person in the world. When you lose your breath just thinking about being with that certain someone. Those little stolen moments when your someone walks up behind you and wraps their arms around you and tells you they love you as they gently nuzzle your neck. * sighs* Quite moments just laying your head in their lap and them rubbing your hair. Laying under the stars and sharing your thoughts. I know gifts and flowers are great but they just don’t replace the special touch of someone you love.

Romance is showing how much you care about the other person in a sensual way. It’s all about the mood.

Romance is caring for another. You can have sex with anyone, anytime but to actually connect with someone, you have to care for them in some way.

Hmmm, romance to me is the way you express your feelings towards the person you love. It’s showing them with words or actions what is in your heart

Romance to me is the expression of love and affection. To show that you love and care deeply for someone, putting their best interest at heart.
