As part of this week's Chick Lit Love Valentine's Party I'm sharing a Q&A with the character of Faith from my latest book, If You Only Knew....
1) What three qualities do you find most attractive in a
partner?
A great sense of humour is important to me; I like a guy who
can make me laugh. A fun personality is
always great. Loyalty and honesty are essential too I think.
2) What’s your idea of romance?
I think romance can be lots of things – a guy doing
something really kind and thoughtful; flowers and candlelight; sharing a picnic
on a hill overlooking stunning countryside; cuddling on the sofa in front of a
log fire; walking hand in hand in the snow.
3) Who's your favorite on-screen couple (Film or TV)?
Probably Emily Blunt and Matt Damon in the film The
Adjustment Bureau, their characters have great chemistry, joke around together and
there’s a strong and instant attraction too.
4) What's been your most embarrassing moment in regards to
the opposite sex?
Being thoroughly
humiliated by my first love Aaron. We were at college together. Things ended
badly. Let’s just say he was a complete pig.
5) What was your first impression of your partner or crush?
How accurate was it?
I thought Zane reminded me too much of my first love Aaron,
a guy I’d spent the last ten years trying to forget. I was partly right; I probably
should have stayed away from Zane if I was being sensible about things.
6) How have you coped with break-ups in the past?
The first time I had my heart broken I never really
recovered. I’d say I’ve always had my guard up since then. Until Zane arrived
in town.
7) Which hot actor would you want to be stranded on a
deserted island with and why?
Only one? There’s so many I could be tempted by…. Let me
see, OK, I have a bit of a crush at the moment on Brett Dalton who plays Agent
Grant Ward in Marvel Agents Of SHIELD. He looks like a very practical kind of
guy as well which would be useful for building a shelter and making a camp
fire! I like guys who are practical, good with their hands.
8) What is the craziest thing you've ever done for love?
I almost gave up on all my dreams to help Aaron, my first
love, live his. I’ll never make that mistake again.
9) PDA: How much is acceptable?
I’m happy with kissing, cuddles, holding hands, that sort of
stuff but not excessively, not too much lovey dovey stuff around other people,
I think that can be a bit embarrassing.
10) What is the best relationship advice you've ever gotten?
Never trust a guy? Can I say that or does it sound too mean?
Well, I guess I’d say it’s important to talk and be honest with each other when
you’re in a relationship. Keeping secrets only leads to trouble, as I discovered to my cost in If You Only Knew.

Is the past about to destroy the future for Faith when she discovers her new boyfriend and her first love are in business together?
Faith owns The Coffee Pot in the outdoor adventure sports mecca of Derbyshire’s Peak District. She hasn’t had a man in her life for a while, as she has been too busy serving cakes to weary rock climbers and mountain bikers to find time for the complications of a relationship with the male of the species.
Then Zane and Matt arrive on the scene as the new owners of the Carrdale Adventure Sports Centre.
Dating Zane, she soon discovers he’s not the Mr Perfect she thought he was; and why is he so reluctant to talk about his past?
As for Matt – well, to Faith he isn’t Matt at all because he was a completely different person when he broke her heart all those years ago.
With her new boyfriend and her first love running Carrdale as business partners – Matt out to cause trouble and Zane keeping secrets – Faith struggles to keep the peace between them whilst trying to figure out how she feels about the two men in her life…
