Burning Bridges by Anne Krist

Genre Contemporary romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

Not your typical “secret baby” book, this Southern romance is filled with emotion between a mature heroine and the man she used to love.

Letters delivered decades late send shock waves through Sara Richards’s world. Nothing is the same, especially her memories of Paul, a man to whom she’d given her heart years before. Now, sharing her secrets and mending her mistakes of the past means putting her life back together while crossing burning bridges. It will be the hardest thing Sara’s ever done.

Tell us a secret!

Describe a scene you decided to cut. Bonus – explain how you decided.

I really liked Matt, the Marine in the book who is sort of Sara’s boyfriend. He’s being transferred to California and wants Sara to come with him. He’s in love with her but because of her daughter, her heart always has a tie to Paul, the sailor she fell in love with as a young girl. I had a scene where Sara and Matt were almost intimate but I cut it because it felt like Sara would be cheating on Paul.

Fill us in on a quirk or background info about your main character that you might not have revealed in the book.

Sara and Paul enjoyed some real-life places, like Virginia Beach itself, the Alan B. Shepard Convention Center, and Sand Bridge, a beach in the area.

What quirk of your own is written into one of your characters?

Sara and I share a little history. My dad was in the Navy when we lived in Virginia Beach and, like Sara, I attended a concert at the convention center, though I didn’t meet a sailor there and fall in love. Like Sara, my dad did not want me dating sailors. Wonder why…? 😉 I did fall in love while living in Virginia Beach, though, a young man I went to school with in eighth grade. We later married but before that, we walked along the shore at Sand Bridge many a time, like Sara and Paul. Happy memories!

Without naming names, tell us about a character quirk that is patterened after someone you know.

Sara’s father is a lot like mine. He was strict and protective, but I know he loved me and that that was the reason for his protectiveness.

Anne Krist Social Media

Anne Krist is the “sister” to erotic romance author Dee S Knight. She is quieter, more reserved, and certainly more circumspect about S-E-X than her wild and crazy sibling. Thus, she’s more comfortable writing sweet(er) romance, where there might be a few sensual scenes, but no more than that. One thing about Anne: she’s not less romantic than Dee. They both write in happily ever after and share the solid belief that love can last forever and beyond!
