So over to Adrienne now....

I started with some easy ones first, lets see!

Coffee or Champagne?

Adrienne: Wow. Tough question right out of the gate. Have a little mercy, Nas! If forced to decide, I'd have to go with coffee because I enjoy my morning java before everyone wakes up. I love that hour or so when the house is completely quiet and Buddy the Wheaten Terrorist—uh—Terrier hasn't gone into his hyperactive I-am-alpa-boy mode. That morning cup of coffee while writing has become my ritual. After that, all bets are off. The school rush begins, the emails start flying and the Wheaten Terrorist is running through the yard barking like a madman at the other dogs on the trail next to my house. If you need a good source of entertainment, come by at around eight a.m. when things are in full swing. 

Ok, good answer! Now...Cupcakes or Cheesecake?

Adrienne:  I'm going to say cheesecake, but only if it's my Aunt Rose's. Her cheesecake is out of this world and is a guaranteed pleasurable experience. I am truly a cheesecake snob and have no problem admitting it. It's not my fault my Aunt spoiled me. J If I can't have Aunt Rose's cheesecake every time, I'm going with cupcakes because I'm not nearly as snooty about cupcakes. Just load them up with butter cream frosting and I'm good to go.

 Daniel Craig (James Bond action) or Ashton Kutcher (RomFlick)? Taylor Lautner(Hot Werewolf)? Ian Somahalder(Bad Boy Vampire)?

Adrienne: I've decided I'm terrible at these questions. I have conditions for all of them! If Daniel Craig is James Bond, I'm going with him. My reasons for this decision should be self-explanatory.

The truth is I like a hero who wants to be in the middle of the action. I also like a hero who is slightly damaged. Slightly! He can't be too high-maintenance or it's just too much work. J

Make him an alpha and I'll swoon. Completely cooked.  The hero in my second book, A Just Deception, is what I call an alpha-on-steroids. When Peter walks into a room, he wants everyone to know he's the alpha dog. He likes being in charge and isn't shy about getting in someone's business. To balance him out, I made him know how to ballroom dance and cook. He also has unlimited patience. 

So, yes, for me, I love an action hero who can get things done, but I want them to have a softer side too.  

 

Dream Vacation? If I invite you to Fiji?

Adrienne:  I would love to see Fiji.  Having grown up riding my bike to the beach, I'm a beach girl at heart. The perfect day for me is my favorite beach chair, the smell of the ocean and a good book.  In fact, the heroine in A Just Deception lives in a cottage on the beach I grew up near.  Here is a photo of the view from Izzy's cottage.

My ultimate dream vacation would be Italy with my mother and siblings. I'd like to see where my grandparents grew up. We've tried to schedule a big family trip several times, but life takes over and someone usually can't make it. I'm determined though.  I would also like to wait until my son is a bit older so he can appreciate the history.

And those are my answers. Thank you to Nas for inviting me to hang out on her blog today.  Readers, please leave a comment for a chance to win either a set of bullet earrings, a bullet keychain or a copy of one of the book's in the Private Protectors series. We will randomly pick three names and you can choose which prize you would like.
