Play “Is it True” with I Sorta Do author Cheryl St.John @_cherylstjohn_ #RLFblog #SweetRomance
In Cheryl St John’s new sweet romantic comedy, I Sorta Do, an impulsive freelance photographer blackmails a buttoned-up father of two into spending a week as her make-believe husband in order to impress her old high school classmates. Sparks fly—and ignite.
Cheryl, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.
I Sorta Do by Cheryl St John
Genre: sweet romantic comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Husband needed: One week commitment. Children optional.
I, Francie Karr, take you, Ryan MacNair, in bogus matrimony to convince my grandma and high school reunion class that I’m blissfully married—you provide the kids. A week should do it. You pledge to be so irresistible that you charm the Spanx right off those stuck-up gossips. Your touches should make their eyes pop, and your kisses be so intoxicating that we don’t have to fake that part.
Oh, and we promise not to let this family—or this electricity between us—feel real.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. I’ve written nearly sixty books in both historical and contemporary genres.
this book is part of a series?
Yes. I Sorta Do is Book #20 in the multi-author Aspen Gold Series. Each book can be read stand alone or readers can enjoy them in order. The authors’ various styles and voices add to the intriguing character of the series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
No. This story was a lot of fun to write. It was published previously in 1999 as a Harlequin Duet. I had rights reverted and recently updated the manuscript and changed the setting and names to bring the story into Spencer, Colorado for the Aspen Gold Series. There weren’t even cell phones in the original story!
you did research for this book?
Yes. I always research jobs for my characters. Francie is a freelance photographer and Ryan works for a museum in Chicago. I actually did a lot of research for the costumes the family wears to the high school reunion dance.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
Yes. Francie has a cat that she leaves with a sitter for the trip to her home town.
this book has more than one genre?
No. It’s romantic comedy. To me, that’s one genre.
you speak more than one language?
No. Not unless you count baby talk and fluent pig-latin.
you grew up where you live now?
Yes. I wasn’t born in Nebraska, but I was born across the state border and have lived here my whole life. I’ve seen a lot of changes in my city over the years!
you love to read?
Yes. Absolutely. I fell in love with books at a young age. As a kid it was a pleasure to check out books from the school library. I was lost over the summer when school was out. I made it a point as a parent and grandparent to take all my kids to the public library, get them library cards and enroll them in summer reading programs. Oh, the places they can go!
you are never late?
Yes. I’m way better than I used to be though. But I’m kind of right on the nose — my hubby likes to be early.
you love pizza?
No. I’m not a pizza fan, but every once in a while, I like a Pizza Hut original pan crust pizza.
you love sushi?
No. Whoever thought raw fish was a good idea is troubled.
you have a pet?
No. Over the years we’ve had cats, dogs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, birds, fish and turtles. As empty nesters, we like to pick up and go—and we both appreciate not taking a dog out in the rain or snow at night.

Read Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues the new #SportsRomance by Linda O’Connor @LindaOConnor98 #RLFblog #RomanticComedy
Following the clues and falling in love…A box found during a renovation contains more than just run-of-the-mill hockey memorabilia. Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues by Linda O’Connor is a fun hockey caper romance.
Linda, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues.
Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues by Linda O’Connor
Genre Sports Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
When she was younger, Dr. Abigail Clark dreamed of playing professional hockey, but the world wasn’t ready for a female player. That stung. She skated as far away from hockey as possible – until she lands a job in the emergency department of a hockey-crazy town and buys the house of the late beloved Zamboni driver. A tin box is discovered during the renovation of her new home, and Abigail brushes it off as a time capsule left by the previous owner – that is until someone tries to steal it. Turns out, the odd collection is more than just sentimental hockey memorabilia.
Abigail inadvertently embroils Del Braebury, captain of the local pro hockey team, into helping her sort it out. Her history with hockey players is rocky at best, but he comes in handy when she needs to access parts of the rink that are off limits. Del is happy to be tangled up in the clues of the hidden hockey loot. In the process of solving the mystery, he hopes to win Abigail’s heart!
Why did you write this book?
I love doing escape rooms with the challenge of clues to decipher and puzzles to solve. I thought I’d weave that type of white collar crime mystery into a romance. Add in a smart, sassy doctor and a swoon-worthy professional hockey player, and the stage is set for a fun, clever hockey caper. This is the first of a new series and the stories will all be stand-alone, kisses-only romantic comedies with all the feel of a sexy romance – sweet with heat!
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love reading romance, of course, with the happy-ever-endings. I also enjoy cozy mysteries.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
My favorite character is Andy Carpenter from David Rosenfelt’s Andy Carpenter series. He’s a clever, resourceful independently wealthy lawyer who reluctantly and hilariously takes on jobs.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on the second and third story of the Laugh-out-Loud Hockey Caper Romance series. Lately I’ve discovered how to make my own covers and have spent more time that I care to admit having fun on Canva.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’m in the process of editing Love and the Hockey Heist, the second romcom in the Laugh-out-Loud Hockey Caper Romance series and have started writing the third book – which doesn’t have a title yet.
