Fiona Harper's first...crush!

Wonderful writer, Fiona Harper is next up, here to tell us all about her first crush.  Everybody say awwww...  Or should that be phwoooar... :)

I’m going to admit to my first celebrity crush! It was the lovely Pierce Brosnan, but I’m showing my age if I tell you it was way before he was asked to play Bond, when he’d become a bit more rough and rugged-looking. No, I fell for Pierce as mysterious detective Remington Steele. This was a great TV series from the early 80s.

The basic premise was that Laura Holt, ace detective, was having trouble attracting clients for her newly-formed business because she was a woman, so she invented a fictional boss – and one day a handsome stranger with a shady past steps into the role. In the vein of shows like Moonlighting and Castle, it paired a straight-laced detective heroine with a loose-cannon male sidekick and I loved it. There’s something about a charmer that I just can’t resist. (I also have a crush on Nathan Fillion as Castle, but that one developed much later in life!)  (AB:  Yes, yes, and yes!)

Pierce was great in it: witty, infuriating, a little bit dangerous… The only downside was the hair. Which, let’s face it was a bit on the bouffant side. We’ll forgive him, though. It was the 80s, after all!

SWEPT OFF HER STILETTOS

I am a big fan of Fiona Harper’s work.  Her rich detail, her humour, her smarts.  Also Fiona’s books are always full to the brim with oodles of context which in short romantic fiction is a hard thing to achieve.

SWEPT OFF HER STILETTOS is an absolute gem.  Written in the first person it presents Coreen, a woman who is so into all things vintage she’s like a walking cheesecake poster.   She has a plethora of puppy dog suitors panting in her hip-swinging wake.  But there’s one man who’s never fallen under her spell.  Enter her best friend Adam.

SWEPT OFF HER STILETTOS by Fiona Harper is luxuriant, colourful, atmospheric, and above all romantic.
