A Hero`s Heart by Amber Daulton
Danger and Love at Christmas
In A Hero`s Heart, DEA agent Jarrett Brandt returns home after several years and runs into his one true love and former girlfriend Marissa. Though he never intended to start things up with her again, love and fate had other plans.
Romantic suspense is one of my favorite sub-genres to read and write. I love second chance stories about damaged heroes with self-esteem issues, and Jarrett fits the bill. He made a lot of mistakes as a teenager and young adult, but finally got his priorities straight and cleaned up. He`s a classic romance hero, in my opinion, because he`s learned from his past and now puts his life on the line to help others. He`s selfless, strong, and understanding, which makes him a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. Besides, he drives a motorcycle. What could be hotter?
Most romantic suspense books I`ve read aren`t centered around major holidays, so that makes A Hero`s Heart different from what I conceive as the norm. Christmas-themed stories often bring to mind hot chocolate, sleigh rides, snowmen, and a jolly man in a red suit. Most of the time, those stories are sweet, heartfelt romances with little to no sex, and there`s nothing wrong with that. I love reading those stories! If I could choose, however, I prefer adrenaline-laced, action-filled romances that take the hero and heroine through the ringer, both in and out of the bedroom. Just because it`s Christmas, the time to be merry, doesn`t mean the bad guys have gone home to twiddle their thumbs and wait out the New Year. In this genre, danger is always lurking around the corner and it`s not something to be taken lightly, as Jarrett and Marissa eventually realize.
As with all true romance books, no matter what happens during the course of the story, one important thing remains the same—the romance. The hero and heroine may achieve their happily ever after in different ways, but as long as the reader is smiling, then it`s a good book.

16 years agoHi Deidre,
I’ve been writing erotic romance for over 8 yeras now. As to what got me started, it’s your standard story of “Got fed up with day job.” When I was complaining to my hairdresser (my hair is halfway down my back!) about the lack of opportunities for a young IT person without formal schooling (I had worked at Microsoft for a stint) she said “quit IT and WRITE!
I eventually began talking to the woman who runs Very Koi.net, an adult oriented BDSM/erotica website and became friends with her. SHe suggested I look at Scarlett Letters Online and try my hand at crafting stories. Somehow I ended up contacting Robin Schone and Emma Holly, both of whom pointed me to the Erotica Readers and Writer’s Association and once I discovered I truly DO enjoy writing and reading romance, things picked up from there!
What we can expect to see from me in the future will be a lot of scorching romances centered around themes of deep trust and emotion with a heavy bent on paranormal. I’ve been writing wolves and vampires for years, but recently became interested in PUMAS! YEE!
Thanks for the question 🙂

16 years agoHi Sascha,
I’ve taken some of your writing classes and I wanted to tell other writers out there, they really need to sign up for them. You give a lot of information that is honest and well put together.
Hugs,
