“Everything to Me” – a poem

Marie Lavender's avatarI Love Romance Blog

Everything to Me

Every time you leave, I yearn more for you.

When we’re apart, nothing feels right until we’re reunited.

I could spend a lifetime learning the many facets of you and I’d never get tired.

I can see the love in your eyes and I reciprocate it.

You show your feelings in so many ways…

You take care of me,

you listen,

you worship my body completely.

I could never ask for a more perfect love.

It means everything to me…

Real love isn’t perfect…

It has its occasional hiccups,

a mild argument or difference of opinion,

the wait to be together,

to become one in a perfect union,

dil

our minds,

our souls,

our hearts together.

But, that’s what makes life interesting.

We are similar in many ways,

connecting beyond the visible,

even speaking in unison now and then followed by a laugh,

finishing each other’s…

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Marie Lavender

TBM: How do you imagine the ideal reader of your book?

ML: I imagine the ideal reader of my book to be a romantic who doesn’t mind bit of history and suspense thrown into a love story. Anyone who loves a good story and enjoys a thrill while learning about new places would be a potential reader.

TBM: How was the writer inside of you born?

ML: When I was young, I absolutely loved the written word!  I would pour over books, eating up the narratives within.  My imagination was huge and my family would often find me acting out my own stories with dolls and such.  This eventually translated into writing stories, and I’ve been writing them ever since.

Upon Your Honor
TBM: What genres do you work with and why are you attracted to these forms of writing?

ML: I write romance because I love showing how…

New 5 Star Amazon Review for Upon Your Return!

A new review for UYR!

Marie Lavender's avatarI Love Romance Blog

Just found this review on Amazon for UYR, book one of the Heiresses in Love Series. Yay!  🙂

5.0 out of 5 starsMy Kind of Main Character, October 16, 2014
This review is from: Upon Your Return (Kindle Edition)
I wanted to read this book after practically devouring the second book in the Heiresses in Love series, Upon Your Honor. I had to know more about the relationship between Gabriel’s parents. I mean, it was a given considering what we are told in the second book. It was enough to tide me over, but there was a nagging sensation in the back of my head. If someone gives me a tidbit, I long for the whole story. And here it is!

So, little bit of info about me…I am a redhead. Because of this, I always feel a sort of kindred closeness to characters, more specifically…
