Welcome to the Contemporary Romance Café–a place as cozy as your favorite coffee shop–where the locals congregate to discuss love and life. A place where laughter fills the air and contemporary romance is always on the menu.

Each day a different author is serving up a new post that is piping hot, fresh out of the oven, and made with loving care just for you. This month we’re sharing what inspires us and our stories. Jana Richards tells us about when she got “the call.” Jeffe Kennedy reveals the sensual lure of New Orleans and its impact on her novel, Ruby. Amie Denman reveals that the “fictional” town in Her Lucky Catch isn’t so fictional. Guest Shannon Stacey explains how she gets inspiration from the “visual version of eavesdropping.”
