Q & A with Manda Collins discussion

This a thread for discussing Book 3 of the Ugly Ducklings Trilogy.

I am really enjoying this series. The characters are so likable and the romance is steamy in a good way. I think you capture the Regency period very well.

Aww, thanks, Danielle. I do try to write characters I can relate to. The steam is a bit harder (no pun intended!) to do, but I'm glad you like it.

And I meant to add that I loved writing Alec. In case you can't tell, I've got a thing for beta heroes. And just heroes who act like normal guys, if that makes any sense. I might try sometime, but you will not likely see me writing super-alpha, old skool heroes anytime soon.

That's probably what I like about your heroes most. I am not fond of alpha old skool bullies. I like their thoughtfulness and the fact that they are friends with your heroines as well as being attractive. Just being sexy isn't enough. Well, apart from for Pierce Brosnan.

Agreed. Pierce Brosnan can be however he wants to be:)

I adore Alec. He's just the sweetest, kindest man and I love how he champions Juliet and is so protective towards her.

I love beta heroes. They make me want to hug them!
