Romance is Bliss Event with Robin Bielman

Meet Bliss author, Robin Bielman.

Robin Bielman lives in Southern California, a bike ride away from the ocean if she’s feeling really adventurous. She loves books and baking and running on the treadmill while watching her favorite TV shows. When she’s not reading or writing her next story, she’s spending time with her high school sweetheart husband and two sons, most likely watching, playing, or discussing baseball. She drives too fast, drinks too much caffeine, and if every day were Cupcake Day, she’d be a happy camper! She loves to connect with readers.

Why I Write Romance

“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Olive.”
“Olive who?”
“Olive you.”

Boy Meets Girl has always been my most favorite part of any story. I love the first time they lay eyes on each other, love the first words spoken, love the fumbles along the way to knowing one another better. And I love the first kiss. Kissing is good. Kissing makes everything better. =)

I only started reading romance a few years ago. Growing up I was all about mysteries and Stephen King. When I hit my twenties, I didn’t read a lot. *hides under the table* I graduated from college, got married, worked, and then had my two boys. Life was busy, and when I did read, it was children’s books to my kids.

But one day my freelance writing work led me to romance. As I wrote about brides and weddings I realized the thing I’d loved most about books and movies and television was always the romance between the two main characters. And so when I decided to write novels, the decision to write romance was easy peasy.

I bought my first romance novel – The Bachelor by Carly Phillips – and I loved it! I was swept away, so blissfully happy to read about love. I devoured all her books and went on to other authors. Holy crap! I thought. I’d so missed out. Romance rocked. It took me away and filled me with joy and I wanted to give people a happily ever after too.

There’s so much going on in people’s lives today. Commitments and stresses and worries and for me, reading a romance novel helps me forget all that. It gives me a break and allows me to fall into another time and place. A place with people I want to be friends with and root for and pretend for a little while that I’m sitting in that coffee shop or at that bachelorette party, or walking down that beach.

Reading romance makes me feel good. I write romance in hopes of making others feel good.

Faking it with this flirt never felt so real…

Kagan Owens has a secret. One she thought she’d escaped by leaving New York, but when her past follows her to her temporary new life, Kagan lets a teeny lie slip. And now the town’s biggest playboy and flirt, Shane Sullivan, has become her pretend boyfriend—just until she’s ready to return to NYC. But the handsome, fun-loving Shane makes it tough to determine where their friendly agreement begins and ends…

Shane has no intention of settling down—in fact, his job depends on it, and nothing’s more important than his work. Still, he can’t help but agree to Kagan’s scheme, if only to find out more about the mysterious beauty. But when every touch from her sets his heart and body on fire, he realizes playing an accidental boyfriend may be more than he bargained for—and more than he can give.
