Surely, this story has to be every author’s fantasy: to meet the gorgeous cover model of your book! Erotic romance Andrea has had a secret crush on sex-on-legs model Yushka for a while, but when they meet at an author conference in Cannes and he insists on dating, she questions his sincerity – she’s not willing to have her heart hurt a second time, either. The problem is, the handsome young man just won’t take a no for an answer…

What amazing news for a thriving author! Both The Perfect Shoot and High-Risk Fever got five stars on Goodreads today:
“Fantastic book. Wonderful characters. I was pulled into this story from the start. Outstanding job, Lea!”
“This is the third book I’ve read by Lea. I’ve been wanting to give her a five stars review and this is the book that did it for me. In my opinion, this is the best book she has written. The characters were well developed, her descriptions were amazing and it was HOT HOT. I love when I read a book and everything is perfectly clear in my mind. It’s like seeing the story come to life in my head. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good, hot, well written story. I’m looking forward to her next book.”
Big thanks to the reviewers 🙂
Thank you so much to Robin from Sizzling Hot Books for nominating The Perfect Shoot for the prestigious award. It was truly an honor to be featured among renowned authors such as Lexi Blake and Tymber Dalton, and I never expected to win – so here’s a big THANK YOU to all the voters who made it possible!!
Here is the announcement from Sizzling Hot Books.
I was asked this question by the lovely KT Grant on my ‘The Perfect Shoot’ book tour, so if you’re curious about my answer, check out her blog Babbling about Books, and more! 🙂
It’s that time of the year where we celebrate our love for characters of color in romantic fiction in the Color of Love Blog Hop.
I personally love everything exotic, from too-hot places in the southern hemisphere to their gold skinned inhabitants with rich, sexy accents and dark, smoldering eyes. Out of my admiration was born a book character – young sex-on-legs Yushka, a popular photo model and ladies’ man from central Asia. He’s getting tired of fleeting relationships when a beautiful, grown woman squeezes into a packed elevator with him at a publishing conference in France. Every hot-blooded cell in him awakes at their sudden intimacy, and in the next days, he’ll seize any opportunity to show his desire for her. But will she return the fervor?

“Set at an author conference in Cannes, this is the story of 38-year-old romance writer Andrea and her cover model, 23-year-old Yushka.
When Andrea sees him fondling the conference organiser she recognises him immediately. He’s the boyishly handsome model on the cover of her latest book. Andrea has spent the last 18 years single-handedly raising her twin boys, so she’s had little time for love.
When a crowded lift and a pushy friend pre-empts the introduction she’d planned for the Meet and Greet session, she feels like a teenager again.
The chemistry sizzles between them from the beginning, but she’s concerned by the age difference, and after waiting 18 years, the last thing she wants is a quickie in a hotel restroom.
The more they are thrown together at the conference, the greater the heat between them. As Andrea struggles to reconcile her attraction to a man only 4 years older than her sons, Yushka is determined to prove to her he wants more than just a one night stand.
When a steamy photo shoot turns dangerously realistic, Andrea can no longer fight the sizzling chemistry between them.
Packed with scorching heat and realistic emotional turmoil, this book is a must read with a satisfying happy ending.”
– A big thank you to Sizzling Hot Books!!
Squeee!! My erotic romance The Perfect Shoot (Hot Model Mine 1) has been nominated for “Sizzling Read of the Month: November” with four other books.
This is awesome news and very humbling for me, so if you enjoyed reading my story and believe it deserves the honor, please vote here. Thank you SO much in advance! 🙂
So, who are all these characters we authors bring to life? Are they pure products of our imagination, or are there real-life people behind their names, looks, personalities etc.?
Well, every single book of mine has at least one inspiration.
Those of you who were around when I published Wild Hearted already know the badass gangster hero was inspired 100 % by the one and only, the fabulous, actor Michael Wincott.
His to-be girlfriend Luz was named after Spanish pop singer Luz Casal, because I listened to her back in 2011 when I started writing Wild Hearted, and my heroine needed an unusual name.
The psycho kidnapper and rapist was inspired by Overkill frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth – but only his looks, as the guy is the sweetest person there is and one of my favorite artists ever!
Shawn Torien, the rock star hero of my short story My Biggest Fan, was given the last name of another celebrity: Bulletboys vocalist Marq Torien – simply because I dig his voice!
Some of you may know by now that Yushka, the model hero of The Perfect Shoot, was inspired by real-life model Umid Yuldashev. His looks just fit my character – you guessed it, perfectly.
But what you don’t know, is that another character in this book, photographer assistant Angéline, is named after sublimely beautiful model Angelina Cavanaugh!
And last but not least, the baby in High-Risk Fever was named after my twin soul DC Stone! Just because… I love her. Again and again, she has inspired me to keep writing.
Now, who’s next? Any suggestions?
“Wow!!!!!! What a hot book! I had so much fun reading this on my break. I’m dying to know what happens next and what happens when they get back to the real world and she gets back with her kids and everything.”
4 stars from Romantic Bookaholic 🙂
I brought my new release The Perfect Shoot to author Gray for an interview. Check out her Bare Naked Words spotlight here.
Author Elyzabeth M. Valey interviews Andrea, aka. Cindy Vega, from new release The Perfect Shoot!
Elyzabeth: Morning my lovelies! Today I’ve got quite a treat for you (pun intended *grin*) Lea Bronsen has come in with her lead character, Cindy, from The Perfect Shoot (Hot Model Mine) and I’ve interviewed the latter. Please give them a warm welcome!
Welcome Andrea or should I say, Cindy? Can you tell us a bit about your writing?
Cindy: Hi Elyzabeth! First off, thanks for having me here. I’m not used to being in the spotlight, but I’ll answer your questions the best I can. So, my writing. I’m an erotic romance writer, but you know how it is – some say it’s too sweet and romantic to be labelled erotic, and some say it’s too pornographic to be romance. *shakes head*
To read the interview, please visit Elyzabeth’s In A Dream Beyond blog 🙂
Thanks to everyone who participated in Evernight’s Roll Out the Red Carpet Blog Hop!
