HEALING LOVE
Love to the Extreme #4
Abby Niles
Releasing February 15th, 2016
Entangled
Doctor
Ella Watts wants her old life back. Desperately. But the past has returned for
its rematch, and going back home—even telling anyone her real name—isn’t an
option until she’s confident in her MMA abilities. Personal trainer Lance Black
is the man to help her reach her goals. Not only is he toned, muscular, and
gorgeous, he’s patient, a great teacher, and willing to treat her like a worthy
opponent. Except his size makes her freeze whenever he gets too close. If Ella
can’t learn how to overcome her fear of being attacked, she’ll never be able to
move on with her life.
Underground
fighter Lance Black knows there’s more to the mysterious blonde ninja than a
beautiful woman determined to improve her fighting skills. She can best anyone
close to her size – man or woman – but insists on working out with him, even
though he’s got a good 70 pounds and several inches on her. Despite her
reticence, he’s determined to get her to open up so he can help her get over
her mental block. And if that means he can get to know her outside the gym, all
the better.
As long
as she never learns his secrets.

1) What is the first book you read that comes to mind? Why is it so important to you? 
It’s
definitely not the first book I read, and it’s not just one book, but
it’s a series that made me love to read. It took reading from being a
chore to being something I loved. And that was The Sweet Valley High
series. I discovered the series in 6th grade and I discovered I loved
romance because I couldn’t get enough of Elizabeth and Todd. From that
series, I moved on to meatier stories. By high school, I was reading my
mom’s romances. 
2) How much of you and/or your
surroundings is a part of your stories? Is the influence based on a
conscious decision, or do you periodically recognize yourself in one of
your characters and it wasn’t planned? 
There’s a piece of
me in every one of my stories. When you’re writing from a deep place,
part of yourself is going to slip onto the page. Some stories have more
of me than others (EXTREME LOVE for example), but every one of them have
some of me in it. 
3) What genre is the most intimidating when you think about writing in it? Explain why! 
Honestly,
historicals. I LOVE historical romance. I wanted to be a historical
romance writer. Even tried my hand at it. I wasn’t very good. You really
have to know your stuff to write in that genre. It’s like a different
level of research. The clothing, etiquettes, surroundings…everything has
to be researched. I bow to historical writers. 
4) In your opinion, what is the most important feature a book needs to have? 
I
don’t think a book can thrive off just one feature. You’ve seen reviews
that says the romance was hot, but there wasn’t any conflict so the
book was just meh or steaming hot love scenes, but the plot sucked or
good plot, but no chemistry between the H/h. So a book needs a whole
bunch of important stuff to be complete. 
5) If you had
the chance to influence the questions people ask you in interviews, what
question is the most annoying and you would love to never hear again?
What question would you really like to answer that you have not been
asked yet, and what is your answer to that question? 
Probably
ones like the one below, lol. I wouldn’t call questions like that
annoying either. I don’t find any of the questions annoying. More like
they put me on the spot and I get uncomfortable with comparing my
writing to other writers. J
I’ve done a lot of
interviews so I’ve been asked all kinds of questions. One thing I don’t
think I’ve been asked a lot about is earlier books I’ve worked on, maybe
things that have never been published.
Something like: Have you ever pulled out the stuff you wrote before you were published and read it?
Answer:
OMG. Yes, I have. And, OMG. It sucks. I’m glad I’ve kept all of my
earlier work so I can see how far I have come as a writer. My voice
isn’t even the same. You can tell I was trying to find it. 
6) Name three characteristics of your writing style that are important yet different from other authors.
Umm…eek. I’m not sure. Uhhhhh, *scratches head* I have a very laid back voice. *grimace* Ugh. Yeah, I suck at this question. 
7) Which of your characters seems to be the most independent, and has taken on a life of their own? 
Ahh,
that would have been my hero Luke Evans from DEFYING CONVENTION. Gah,
he was difficult. Defying Convention is romantic comedy set at a sci-fi
convention. This was supposed to be a light-hearted read. Luke was
anything but light-hearted. He fought me in every. Single. Scene. He was
angrier than he was supposed to be. He refused to be brought down a
notch too, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why he was so
damn angry. What I had in mind didn’t justify that amount of pent-up
rage. 
It’s funny how that works as a writer. You’re the
writer. You should have control. I did not. The character did. Times
like that, I just go with it, because it’s usually leading to something
I’m not seeing yet. Luke eventually let me in on why he was so
angry, and yes, he was justified…and it was much better than what I had
in mind. So sometimes, your characters know best. 
8) What do you want tell your readers at the end of this interview? 
Thank you. Without you, none of this would be possible and you have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you.
