Jenna Petersen: When the Mask Falls...

I just added a new post to the "Chatting with" series on "Rosa is for Romance".

Jenna Petersen: When the Mask Falls...

"Hello everyone! I’m Jenna Petersen, also known as Jess Michaels. I write historical romance and erotic historical romance, both for Avon and Avon Red. I’m so excited to be here. Actually, I wish I really WERE there. I’ve always wanted to go to Italy. This year my husband and I are going to China, but we’re hoping an Italy trip is in the cards for either next year or 2010. We’re becoming world travelers, you see."

The Painted House by Drew Zachary

Gabriel is a location scout from Los Angeles who is travelling all around Nova Scotia to find a location for an upcoming movie. He thinks to have find the perfect place when he sees Marc's house, a 150 years old house perched on a cliff with a private beach. But Marc is like an hermit, growing alone with an old grandmother and now totally alone with only the company of Bogart, a golden retriever. And he has no intention to allow to a crew to invade his home. He is also a very good artist, whose paintings are in museums and sold very well, but all the practical things are managed by his agent, and he lives only to paint and walk in the sand. He has a disorganized life, sleep and eat when he wants. And he doesn't have a lover.

When Gabriel and Marc meet it's all of sudden passion. Marc seems to have not enough of Gabriel, but still he can't think to leave his reclusive life. If Gabriel wants to tag alone, fine, but he will not change his lifestyle for him. It's not a conscious choice, it's more a question of life or death. Really Marc is a very interesting character, but I think he has also some issues when he arrives to relationship. He is maybe like the classical artist, with the mind lost in his thoughts and reality that only here and there breaks the cloud.

Gabriel quarrels with Marc's agent, pretending she treats Marc as an adult, but in the end also him allows Marc to be as he likes. It's good for Marc that Gabriel is a good man, cause he is too naivee to face bad realities. Marc is not mad, but he is not "normal": if someone tried to open his eyes he could kill the man who is.

The book is very erotic, even if Gabriel doesn't try to change Marc, he opens him to the almost unknown sex world. And there are plenty of things to discover...

What's Your Inner Gender?

gacked from [livejournal.com profile] mychael_black2

Why am I not surprise?...



Your Inner Gender is Male



You are rational, matter of fact, and quite dominant.

You like to get things done, without any emotional messiness.

You truly don't understand most women. And you definitely feel more comfortable around men.

No doubt about it. You're a guy - at least on the inside.
