What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Complete Novels' is a collection of all 8 unabridged novels and romances that showcase his mastery of dark romanticism and his unique exploration of the human psyche. Hawthorne's literary style is marked by intricate character development, moral allegories, and rich symbolism. Each novel seamlessly weaves together elements of Puritan history and the complexities of guilt and sin, making them both compelling and thought-provoking reads within the context of American literature in the 19th century. From the haunting tale of 'The Scarlet Letter' to the enigmatic 'The House of the Seven Gables,' this collection offers a comprehensive look at Hawthorne's thematic range and narrative depth. Nathaniel Hawthorne's own experiences as a descendant of Puritan settlers and his personal struggle with themes of sin, guilt, and redemption greatly influenced his writing. His exploration of the dark side of human nature and the consequences of hidden secrets are recurring motifs throughout his works, reflecting his own internal conflicts and the societal constraints of his time. Hawthorne's keen insight into the human condition is evident in his nuanced characters and exploration of moral dilemmas. I highly recommend 'The Complete Novels' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the complexities of human nature and the moral implications of our actions. This collection is a must-read for those interested in American Romanticism and the psychological depth of character-driven narratives.

Love comes when you least expect it in this captivating new novel in the Westcott Regency romance series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh. Lady Jessica Archer lost interest in the glittering excitement of romance after her cousin and dearest friend, Abigail, was rejected by the ton when her father was revealed to be a bigamist. Now that she is twenty-five, however, Jessica decides it is time to wed. Though she no longer believes she will find true love, she is still very eligible. She is, after all, the sister of Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby. Jessica considers the many qualified gentlemen who court her. But then she meets the mysterious Gabriel Thorne, who has returned to England from the New World to claim an equally mysterious inheritance. Jessica considers him completely unsuitable, especially when, while they are still barely acquainted, he announces his intention to wed her. When Jessica guesses who Gabriel really is, however, and watches the lengths to which he will go in order to protect those who rely upon him, she is drawn to his cause--and to the man.

Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.
