My First Love Event with Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

MIMI JEAN PAMFILOFF is a New York Times bestselling author who’s sold over one million books around the world. Although she obtained her MBA and worked for more than fifteen years in the corporate world, she believes that it’s never too late to come out of the romance closet and follow your dreams.

Mimi lives with her Latin lover hubby, two pirates-in-training (their boys), and their three spunky dragons (really, just very tiny dogs with big attitudes) Snowy, Mini, and Mack, in the vampire-unfriendly state of Arizona.

She hopes to make you laugh when you need it most and continues to pray daily that leather pants will make a big comeback for men.

Happy 8th b-day to Ramblings From This Chick! And thank you for all the passion you give to the romance community!

My first crush…ugh. This was so much harder to write about than I thought. I mean, there’s your first case of puppy love, there’s the first hard crush (teen style, where you think you just might die if they don’t like you back), there’s the first serious boyfriend who lasts more than a month, and then…le sigh…there’s your first true love. The one.

Maybe it’s a result of my age, but I couldn’t come up with more than a few words and a name for any of these boys who at one time seemed like the key to my forever happiness. That really left me with only one person to write about, and that’s my one true love. (Sorry, honey! You’re the only who’s not a blur. So I’m writing about you! LOL.)

As we celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary this month along with 24 years together, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we met. I truly think fate was playing her hand that day.

I was an exchange student in Mexico at the time and went on a spring break trip that only happened because the Mexican government decided to devalue the peso that year. With our student funds in dollars, my group ended up with more money than expected in our class travel budget. Instead of getting refunds, we all voted and decided to buy tickets to Merida. A great choice! My roommate and I backpacked for several days together, beach hopping, but it took a crowbar to get me to go to Tulum on the day I met my husband. I’d already found the perfect beach with white powder sand, a cool breeze, and the quietest spot under a tall coconut tree on the island of Isla Mujeres. Why the heck would anyone leave paradise? But she talked me into getting on that boat back to the mainland. Thankfully!

Turns out, it was the same for my hubby. He’d been visiting some friends about four hours away and they pulled him along to Tulum for a few days.

The rest of the story is a little long, but when I look back at the moment we met and all of the things that had to go right for our paths to cross and for us to become a couple, it blows my mind.

So, happy anniversary, my first love. My last love.

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a Standalone, Romantic Comedy a la Paranormal...

COLEL(Book #5, The Immortal Matchmakers, Inc. Series).

WARNING:
This book contains foul language, gratuitous sex against a truck, outrageously rude immortal warriors in leather pants, snow, pigheaded gods, a sexually frustrated goddess, a very hot and hunky florist guy with a bad attitude and a big secret, Brutus bubble baths, a sneaky invisible unicorn, unrequited love, bees, bees, and more bees, and chocolates.

SOMETIMES LOVE BITES AND SOMETIMES IT STINGS.

Colel, the Goddess of Bees, has been looking for Mr. Right for over seventy thousand years. So when she meets the hunky owner of a small-town flower shop and explodes with flutters and tingles, she’s almost certain that he’s the one.

Only two problems: her tiny black-and-yellow army suddenly won’t let her anywhere near him, and…is that a freaking epinephrine pen in the fridge? “Dear gods! He’s allergic to bees? Say it isn’t so.”

If simply dating the guy will kill him, how will she ever know for sure if he’s really the one?

Colel has a solution, but it’s drastic. Even for her. And what if he says no?
