[title]Jewellery, flowers, candles — there's only so many times you can buy the special person in your life the same rotation of gifts. Opt for something a little different this Mother's Day and make it an experience for her: prep the cheesboard, pour a glass of red and vacate the couch because your mum's not going anywhere after she opens her newly gifted copy of steamy romance novel, The Wave.
As author of the page-turner Tanya Rose puts it, “Romance always gives you a happy ending; no matter the journey, you know they will always have a happily ever after.”
The contemporary romance follows singer and former child star Brooklyn (Bee) Barrett who gets the opportunity of a lifetime when she’s offered a residency at The Wave, in the glitzy Houston Hotel. During her stay she collaborates with her longtime friend and colleague Will, but it isn’t long before her past follows her there. After crossing paths with the irresistible Jarrod, things slowly start to unravel, and Bee must choose between comfort with the devoted Will or passion with the devilish Jarrod.
While the tale ticks the boxes of steamy and romantic, Rose also wanted her debut to push the boundaries of the romance genre, by getting a little deeper to confront real-world issues. She tells Time Out, “I wrote Brooklyn's story as I wanted to have a female lead who showed resilience, strength, and independence along with a soft feminine side. The music industry has a history of treating women – talented women – as objects. I wanted to highlight this issue while also giving Brooklyn a romantic and beautiful story.”
