Welcome to the Open Book Blog Hop! This week’s theme - What does the food your characters eat reveal about their personality?
In my hot billionaire romances - they eat well. In my sweet medieval fantasy romance - they eat what they can find - or what the faeries provide - which is usually very yummy.
In my billionaire romance - the meals are meant to impress the woman he is trying to seduce.
This is a quick meal on his private jet. Of course he has one!
Even though I was pretty sure Verona disliked me, I had to admit she did a great job on the dining table. The plates and cutlery shone. A folded linen napkin rested beside the plate. As I slipped onto my chair, Mark pushed it under me then sat.
Verona placed a silver-serving platter on the table and lifted the lid. Two containers rested on it. Both were filled with rice, pink shrimp which was covered with a coconut milk sauce with sprigs of a green herb and a slice of lime.
There is more description of the meal, and after I wrote it I informed my hubby we were going out for dinner - I needed Thai!Now, please visit the other #OpenBook Blog Hop writers. You can find their posts at

Yes, I have several - I like using food to show the seduction.
DeleteAs a fan of yours Daryl, I can say that you have captured my senses in your books.
ReplyDeleteTell me a story and you can capture my mind for a moment ...
Take me on a journey through my senses and I will remember always ...
I can honestly say that the stories I remember the most and will return to time again are the ones that evoke emotion and play on my senses.
Of course now that I have thought about it, I want more coffee since it's my favorite food (drink) of them all...
