Please join me in welcoming my friend and sista-author, Shelia Goss to Gwyneth’s Blog. If you haven’t read her new novel, Hollywood Deception, then you don’t know what you’re missing! I LOVED it! I’m so glad she decided to make my blog a part of her blog tour. So without further ado, here’s Shelia…
Real Signs of Falling in Love
By Guest Blogger Shelia M Goss
As a reader and writer of romance, I love the scenes when the characters realize they are actually in love with the other character. They try to reject the idea of love, but underneath all the denials, love is there. Like in fiction, there are signs when a person falls in love, even if they want to ignore them. Here are a few:
1. You can’t stop thinking about him or her.
He/She crosses your mind throughout the day no matter what you’re doing. They are a part of your thoughts whether you’re sleeping or awake. No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop thinking about them.
2. You get butterflies every time you hear his/her name.
You haven’t felt this way since your first love. The strange feeling leaves you feeling a little fluttery. It’s a feeling that comes over you every time you hear their name.
3. You see yourself dating him/her exclusively.
You’re at a point you want to commit You’re willing to take a chance in an exclusive relationship.
4. You walk around with a silly grin on your face.
Your friends and family comment that you have this goofy smile on your face–for no apparent reason. You try to curb your enthusiasm about your new love interest, but it’s unavoidable.
5. You hear a love song on the radio and it reminds you of your man/woman.
Every slow jam that comes on the radio reminds you of how you feel about your man/woman. You download old school slow jams to your mp3 player.
Love is a beautiful thing; especially when it’s reciprocated.

What readers are saying about Hollywood Deception:
“With Hollywood Deception Shelia Goss has done it again. Love, lies and delicious drama! Pick this book up and you won’t be able to put it down. Be ready though – this fun novel is not a passive read. You’ll be yelling at Hailey, relating to her, wanting to slap her and cry with her all at the same time. Hollywood Deception is an all around good read full of scandal, just the way we like it. Well done, Ms. Goss!” ~Abiola Abrams is an Author & Media Personality.

“Glitz, Glamour & LOADS of Drama…Ms. Goss once AGAIN keeps me turning the pages with another ENTERTAINING, yet fictional glimpse into the fast-paced lifestyle of a celebrity.” ~ Sweet N Sassy, Book Reviewer

Good Morning Sheila,
Loved your interview with Gwyneth and agree wholeheartedly with your signs of knowing your in love. I felt and still do feel that way after 23 years of marriage about my husband. There are times I can just look at him and get butterflies in my stomach, and of course “A Kiss” was written off of a recent kiss I shared with him! Love is so grand especially when it is reciprocated! Thanks for the info and take care!

Good Morning -
As always, Sheila , you have kept it real and told the truth.
But, I think for a lot of people – the most important thing is your last statement -
Love is a beautiful thing; especially when it’s reciprocated
Take care

Gwyneth, thanks for hosting me today.
Darlene, I read your poem and if that’s based on a kiss with him–all I can say is–does he have a brother? LOL But seriously, it’s good that you keep falling in love with each other, over and over again.
Beverly, so true. I think real love is when it’s reciprocated because sometimes people can get infactuated and confuse love with infactuation.
Angelia, now that’s what I love to hear. I love AA romance novels because it celebrates Black love.
Thanks Donna.

Hey Shelia and Gwyneth,
Great post!
As I was reading the post it took me back to when I met and fell in love with my hubby sooooo many years ago. It’s amazing how I still get all warm and tingly inside when I think about my man.
Much success on your new release! Readers are going to love it! I know I did!
