Sue - Thank you! I definitely think Smith and Valentina will make it work. Like he said - he's not a young new actor. He's mature and knows what he wants. He wants real love. And he's found that with her.....

Thank you Michelle! I absolutely loved writing their love story!

Tami - Agreed! And I think that's what made their happily-ever-after so worth it - they really had to fight for it. For each other. And for a real lasting relationship in an otherwise glossy/plastic world of Hollywood.

I loved how Sophie and Lori played off each other in this book. For identical twins, they're just so different!

Family is always priority one, sometimes to my own detriment. As for the movies I'd love to write a script but never be in front of the camera. I like my privacy too much. I really enjoyed Smith and Valentina's love story, we knew he'd be passionate but his romantic and gentle sides were so sweet.

Yes, they're very different. And also more alike than they realize....

Sophie plays a big role in Lori's book, of course.

Hi Melaquebella - what a beautiful name! I agree with you about Smith. He turned out to be so sweet and gentle, didn't he?
