Author Virginia Heath joins me to chat about her newest historical rom-com Look Before You Leap, the second standalone in the Miss Prentice’s Protégées series. We talk about what makes a good grumpy/sunshine pairing, how Calamity Janeinspired her heroine, and why she threw a surprise house party full of desperate debutantes into the mix.

She also shares some of her current favorite romance reads—including a surprise cowboy romance phase (yes, really) and her all-time favorite Nora Roberts book.

Stick around for a bonus throwback: my co-blogger Suzanne shares her thoughts on book one, All’s Fair in Love and War—complete with grumpy military hero, chaotic kids, and a big messy dog.
