Revelling in a Reunion!
It's so fun to welcome back, the fabulous Anna Campbell to my blog.
Last year I just lapped up The Winter Wife and I can't wait to get my hands on a download of Days of Rakes and Roses (I'm having cover and title envy!) Love me a good rake! :)
But here's Anna to tell you all about it.
Hi Liz! Thank you so much for having me on your blog. As you know, I ADORE your books so this is a real treat for me. Speaking of treats, how good was ANYTHING BUT VANILLA? About as good as ice-cream (I’m on an ice-cream kick at the moment which makes my tastebuds happy and my hips cranky!).

I’m visiting today to talk about my
brand-new e-novella (available in North America only at present, although we’re
working on other territories) DAYS OF RAKES AND ROSES which is out today from
Grand Central Forever Yours.
You can read the blurb and an excerpt
here
There’s a lot of things I like about this story.
The fact that it’s billed as 1.5 in the
Sons of Sin series. Kind of like it’s a teenager!
The fact that I got to play with a couple
of the characters out of the rest of the series like Camden Rothermere and Sir
Richard Harmsworth.
It’s only 99 cents! Seriously, that’s a bargain!
The fact that it’s a reunion story.
I love reunion stories. Do you? I love the
way they give a couple a second chance at love when circumstances were against
them first time around. I love seeing the hero and heroine recognise the
mistakes of the past and with the benefit of time and wisdom, do things better.
I love the awww factor at the end of a good reunion story when a couple always
meant to be together finally gets their act into gear.
While I love to read reunion stories, up
until my e-novella DAYS OF RAKES AND ROSES, I’d only written one, a short
novella called THE WINTER WIFE http://annacampbell.info/winterwife.html
which I released last Christmas. The reunion was a theme I decided I wanted to
return to.
Lady Lydia Rothermere and Simon Metcalf are
childhood sweethearts. The problem is that Lydia is the daughter of the
powerful Duke of Sedgemoor and Simon is the penniless younger son of a mere
knight. When Lydia’s father catches Simon and Lydia in a compromising position,
he exiles Simon to the Continent and shames Lydia into a lifetime of toeing the
line.
Cue ten years later. Lydia is about to
marry a rising political star Sir Berwick Grenville when, after a decade of no
contact, Simon returns, determined to disrupt her engagement. Scandal has
always dogged the Rothermere family and Lydia refuses to set tongues wagging by
running after Simon. She also baulks at jilting an honourable man for someone
who abandoned her and has since gained a Europe-wide reputation as a rake and
vagabond.
But the passion she felt for Simon has
never died. Duty versus desire? Which will win? And what events will tip the
balance either way?
Yeah, I think you can guess the outcome.
But with these stories, it’s the journey that counts, isn’t it? And I loved
both these characters. Lydia is SOOOO determined to do the right thing and
Simon is SOOOO determined that he’s not going to surrender the love of his life
for the second time.
So are you a fan of reunion stories? Do you
have any favourites? Why do you think reunion stories are so perennially
popular in romancelandia?
