Iris Blobel writes warm, sexy, and sometimes witty Australian Contemporary Romance books for readers who, like herself, still strongly believe in love and Happily Ever Afters. And she knows HEAs. Her couples are hungry for life, done with the past, passionate about family, and emotionally hopeful for a future.

“No honey, he is not gay. And, no, there's nothing wrong with him.” Kristen shrugged. “I suppose… You can call me old fashioned, but the fact that you just want to have sex with him because he looks good and you might think one night with him might move your earth, doesn’t seem to be right. Why don’t you change your bucket list to something along the line get to know Harrison? I've known him for all my life, and he's the most gorgeous man I've known—”
