I'm a new erotic romance author with two books currently out. Loving the Senator and The Ambassador and Me. Both were Amazons Hot New Release and Bestsellers. Soon to release on November 3rd Paris, The Ambassador and Me the second in the Trilogy. On November 27th, I will be releasing Loving The Candidate the Second in the Capital Affairs series. Around Christmas I plan to release a very emotional book called Just Breathe Again.
I've been writing since I was seven when I won my first essay contest in our state. From then on I wrote as much as possible. It wasn't until four years ago when I decided to write what I loved to read, erotic romances. Back in the day I would steal my moms Jackie Collins books and read them repeatedly tucked in between my Little House in the Prairie books and late at night with a flashlight under the covers. It never hit me to actually write romances until I spent a few days in New York went to Central Park with my laptop. I closed my eyes while I typed my first sex scene (it really helped) and I haven't looked back.
When I'm not writing I hike, cook and spend time with my family. I have two daughters and two dachshund's.
Brittany's 3 Star Review
Trigger warning for those that are victims/survivors of domestic abuse.
This book was just okay, but what really stands out, is that this book is real life. The guy puts on a perfect persona for everyone and for the beginning of the relationship, then as soon as they're married, BOOM, he's a completely different person. The acts of domestic violence depicted in this book don't seem to be exaggerated in any way, but I cannot say for sure, because I have never been in that situation. It just didn't seem to be too far fetched. This book was suspenseful in parts. You want her to escape so bad, but we all know that it's so hard for someone to escape a situation like that. There just wasn't anything spectacular about this book. In some parts it seemed listy. Just one sentence. After the other. Without complexity. The main theme in this book is a difficult one to write about and I think Mia Villano did a good job. She didn't glorify it at all, and like I said, it didn't seem exaggerated.
