In the lead-up to ARR2024 in March 2024 we will be spotlighting the authors who will be signing. In the spotlight today we have Layla Pine . Layla will be signing in Sydney.
Who was the first romance author to catch your interest?
Kresley Cole, I started reading her PNR series, and moved to her contemporary erotica, and then probably Eloisa James’s historical romance. More recently, Emily Henry is one of my all-time favourites.
How long have you been reading romance?
Years, but I took a long break from reading and it was only in 2021 that I really started devouring books again.
What genres do you write?
Contemporary romance, paranormal romance, romantasy
What is your favourite part of creating a story?
Letting the characters do their thing? I have a basic premise of how each story will start, but I let the characters take the wheel from there—it’s sometimes a wild ride!
Tell us about your latest release:
Hating Dr Fox is my latest release. It’s book 3 in the Aussie Cravings series. It’s a second-chance, city-to-small-town, hate-to-lovers romance. Georgie and Xander haven’t seen or spoken to one another since they finished high school. But now they have to work together, as Georgie produces, and Xander stars in, a TV reality show about a beach vet who moves to the bush. She’s holding on to her hate like a lifeline, and he doesn’t know how to separate fury from foreplay …
What else are you working on at the moment?
I’m currently working on book 4 in the Aussie Cravings series, called Singing My Tune . I’m also working on the second book in the Renegade Strangers series (PNR), and I’m toying with a couple of romantasy WIPs as well.
