About the Author
S.J. Maylee fell in love with storytelling at a young age and with it came a deep-seated desire for everyone to find their happily ever after. She’s finding the happy endings for her characters one steamy story at a time.
When she’s not reading or writing, you can find her caring for her garden, laughing with her two young sons, or dancing to her husband’s music. She’s a PMP (Project Management Professional), Nia instructor, and coffee addict.
As a writer she has a tendency to break hearts, but she always glues them back together.

Interview with S.J.
1) Which writers inspire you?
So many authors inspire me and many for different reasons. Doris O’Connor inspires me with how she hooks me every time. Cara Bristol inspires me in the way she not only gets better with each release but how she’s so willing to share what she’s learned. Kacey Hammell inspires me with her creativity and sweet personality. I can’t get enough of these ladies.
2) What’s more important: characters or plot?
Oh! That’s a tough one. Great characters still need an intriguing plot to keep me hooked. It’s quite possible that character and plot are more important than the skill of writing. I’ve read a few books where the writing could have been better but I didn’t care because I was infatuated with the characters and had to know how the story turned out. I strive to build that kind of need to know in my stories.
3) If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in this story?
Not right now, no. I love this story and the back and forth sexual tension and passion that fills my characters and pushes them forward.
4) What books have most influenced your life?
The books that have most influenced me as an adult are Cherise Sinclair’s Lean on Me and Master of the Mountain. These were the books that changed all the stories in my head. They were the start of the avalanche that pushed me to write.
5) What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
The first time I created a world in my Love Projects Series, I was surprised at how real it felt. Every time I dream of the stories in that world, it’s like I step into a real place. I’m also surprised how I keep coming up with ideas. Before I started writing, I never would have guessed that I could come up with what to write on page two. I’m currently plotting books ten, eleven, and twelve.

Review
Common Grounds
Common Grounds is a short, yet very delicious story about a chance encounter that turns into something spectacular.
Kate's confections pair wonderfully with Mark's heavenly coffee. Their talents are superb alone, but together they are are force to be reckoned with.
I love that Kate is an everyday kind of girl just trying to make her dreams come true. Although she's happy were she is with her career, she is striving for more. Her determination to succeed will not be hindered by those that tell her no.
Mark is new to the area, but is already making a name for himself. He too is determined to succeed, although his road may be a little less bumpy than Kate's. I love his attitude about his job and his confidence shines through everything he does.
Kate and Mark's chance encounter at the Club is sizzling. They way they meet and scene is thrilling to observe. To be that free and express yourself in that manner would defiantly be something to behold.
Although they each want to be with the other, they have a bit of miscommunication. But after all is said and done, the fire between the two cannot be contained. Their passion is evident with every passing page.
I loved this story completely. It is a delectable morsel that leaves you hungry more.
