Today I would like to introduce you to romance author Diana Sobolewski whose third book in the Desire & Luxury Wine series, Master Class, has just been released on Amazon in paperback and as an e-book.
Congratulations on your blog Carrie. I really enjoy reading your reviews and discovering fabulous new romance books to read. Thanks for inviting me to do this interview. It’s very exciting.
Thank you so much for agreeing to do my first ever interview. Can you tell us a little about yourself and the genre you write in.
As the owner of a wine agency in Montreal specializing in the sale and promotion of fine wine, I was exposed to the more glamorous side of the business.
I’ve always wanted to write a book, but didn’t have a story to tell. Or at least that’s what I thought. In the end, it was a case of write what you know. Without realizing it, I had been mentally storing all kinds of observations and details that would later prove very useful.
What I didn’t know is that I was going to end up writing a series right out of the gate. Some of my supporting characters were demanding their own stories, you see. The titles, by the way, were conveniently borrowed from the wine industry, but, of course, have a double meaning.
My novels have adult content, but the steamy love scenes are pertinent to the story and there’s always a happily-ever-after ending, so they fit the “Erotic Romance” criteria. I sometimes refer to them as sophisticated sexy romance novels because of the aura of glamor that surrounds the characters.
Tell us about your characters.
I absolutely love writing strong heroines and billionaires with heart. I sometimes drop them into humorous situations, for my amusement and hopefully for the amusement of my readers. And I want them to sizzle on the page when they get together. That’s non-negotiable. Readers must feel the heat. There are twists and turns, of course. I make them work for their happy ending.
What do you want readers to know about your latest novel in the series, Master Class?
It’s about a beautiful unemployed school teacher who enters into a contract with a handsome mysterious stranger and becomes the student. In the process, she learns to embrace her sensuality, not be victimized by it, and is empowered as a woman.
Many secrets are revealed along the way: The identity of Isabel Vega’s birth parents and the reason she was put up for adoption. Who Xander is and what personal tragedy has driven him to take Isabel under his wing then forced him to walk away from her when that’s the last thing he wanted to do? What events conspire to reunite them? Will it come to nothing if she never loved him?
I hope readers will enjoy reading Isabel and Xander’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Diana what can we expect next?
I’m already working on the last book in this series, Late Harvest. I’ve included a page at the end of Master Class with a description. Naturally, it’s going to be hot and romantic.
Diana thank you again for doing this interview.
Thanks Carrie I enjoyed doing it.
