Seduced in Spain by Devika Fernando
Hi, Emily, welcome to my blog
and thank you for this interview.
First impressions count so what are you
wearing? What do you look like?
I love wearing
dresses. Today’s dress is one of my favourites: It’s a black dress, knee-length
with sleeves to my elbows. I love the collar because it has red and white
embroidery that reminds me of traditional artwork. I’ve combined it with
espadrilles. I consider myself pretty tall, slim with some feminine curves,
warm brown eyes and brown hair that’s neither long nor short.
Are you a girly girl or a tomboy?
That’s tougher to
answer that it sounds. I love some girly things, like nice fashion, cute
animals, romance novels, and chocolate… And I certainly go all girly and gushy
when it comes to my handsome Spanish lover Alejandro. But I guess some would
consider me a bit of a tomboy too. I don’t like asking for help or depending on
others, and I’ve also grown more confident in the past nine years.
What do you do for a living? Do you like
it?
I’m a personal
assistant to a famous hotelier, and I think it’s the perfect job for me. I love
interacting with people from all over the world and focusing on tourism and various
countries. And I’d never have met my true love if I hadn’t been in the tourism
trade.
Tell us your story.
You shouldn’t have
said that, now I’ll sit here talking for hours and bore you to hell. *laughs*
Seriously though, it’s not easily summarized. I’m from Germany, and I wouldn’t
say I’m close to my family. I met Alejandro for the first time nine years ago
when I visited Spain, and we were instantly attracted to each other. But then
something went horribly wrong. Now I realize it was all a huge misunderstanding…but
I can’t reveal more about that, or I’ll spoil things for you. Let me just tell
you that a lot of things about my life are about to change now, for better or
for worse.
Describe your Hero. Is he a Darcy or a
Christian Grey?
Definitely a Darcy.
And by the way, I LOVE “Pride & Prejudice”! Alejandro is incredibly tall
and handsome with his black hair and emerald green eyes. He’s just the right
mix of muscles and intelligence / brawn and brain. He can get a bit alpha-male
when he really wants something, but he’s also caring and kind and a Latin lover
who really knows what a woman wants. Sorry, am I swooning too much?
Just between us, what do you like best
about your Hero?
Is it awfully
superficial of me if I say his eyes? They are just so beautiful and incredibly
expressive. Just kidding… I love it that he’s not afraid to be emotional. In a
world where men think they have to be all cool and hard and demanding, he
prefers a more quiet strength and confidence. He makes me feel safe and loved
like I’ve never felt before.
Do you prefer the bedroom door open or
closed?
Sometimes open,
sometimes closed. I have to say being with Alejandro has made me shed some
inhibitions…
What TV shows best describe your
relationship with the hero—Scandal or Downtown Abbey?
Don’t kill me, but
I’ve watched neither. I guess all others would say “Scandal” because my choices
seem to upset quite a few people.
If your story is made into a movie, what
actress do you want to play you?
I can’t choose just
one, there are so many choices… Perhaps Alicia Vikander, Emma Stone or Jessica
Chastain.
Tell
us about your author.
She’s super busy at
the moment with her latest two books, trying her hand at rural romance and
royal romance. I’d describe her as an author who really injects some love and
depth into her contemporary and paranormal romance novels instead of letting
lust dominate. She loves writing multicultural romance novels, which is how a
German ended up falling in love with a Spaniard in SEDUCED IN SPAIN and how an
Irishman fell for a Sri Lankan in SAVED IN SRI LANKA.
That was a lovely interview, Emily. Hope you liked being Seduced in
Spain. :)
