Leann Powers asked Robinne Lee:

I just devoured your book. The story was fantastic, the characters well played out and the steaming romance scenes so smoking hot. I am looking for another steamy book for a beach holiday. Any books you could recommend ? What books did you read to inspire you to write your book. P.S. I sure hope you have another book coming our way soon!

Robinne Lee Leann,

You might be disappointed to hear this, but I don't typically read steamy books, so I'm not certain that I have any books to recommend that fall under that specific category. Although some enjoyable recent reads include, "Daisy Jones and the Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid, "The Perfect Find," by Tia Williams, and "My Oxford Year" by Julia Whelan. I always appreciate a good love story, and those three definitely offer that.

I would not say that any books in particular inspired "The Idea Of You," but for research purposes I did revisit D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover," Erica Jong's "Fear of Flying," and "The Lover" by Marguerite Duras. Mostly to compare and contrast literary reads in the past that involved some level of sexuality.

Thank you for your kinds words regarding The Idea Of You.

Cheers,
Robinne
