Joining me today in The Loft is Lisa Bonham. Lisa writes medical romance stories, drawing on the experiences of family and friends in medicine. She says she is a “curvy wine and food lover who is always dreaming of new romances,” as well as “a cat and dog lover, an early riser” with “strong allergies to housework and dairy.” A self-proclaimed lover of hedonistic, spontaneous travel, and intoxicating, intense experiences, she tries to bring those “immensely pleasurable emotions” to her steamy romance books, including The Love Pulse Series and The Sensual Treatments Series.


Author Lisa Bonham


S:  Good morning, Lisa. Welcome to The Loft!


Why did you choose to write in the medical romance subgenre?


L:  It’s very relevant right now. There is a huge community of unsung heroes–doctors, researchers, and nurses, who add so much to our society and they have intensely challenging lives, too. There are so many powerful alpha women and men in the medical world with intimate desires, fantasies, and needs. I love to create the entangled plot, and real thoughts and characters who are intertwined in their worlds with steamy passion and happily-ever- afters as they also glide through their careers and personal journeys. I also come from a family of medical professionals. My father was a surgeon, as is one of my sisters and another is a GP and one of my closest girlfriends. I’m so familiar and resonate deeply with the personalities and lives of this world.

S:  With all of the books you’ve published, I’m sure they’re aware by now that they’re inspiring your stories!

What attracted you to your current partner?

L:  His genuineness, height, and firm body as well as his constant natural humor, charisma, and confidence. A totally hot gentleman who respects and values women, and knows exactly how to treat me in every way.

S:  That makes you a very lucky woman.

What would you like to people know about you?

L:  I’m a very open and energetic person–always have been. I’m really passionate about creating affordable, romantic entertainment for as many people as I can. Also, I would absolutely love to hear from more of my readers. What they like and dislike in my books, and what they would like to see more of in my future books.

S:  After the publication of the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, it was reported that some readers ventured into the BDSM world seeking their own Christian Grey. Some were scammed, sexually assaulted, or otherwise harmed. Does an author bear any responsibility for those types of consequences?

L:  The reality is that there are some very dark topics illustrated and written in books or movies all over the world. Documentaries, social media, and the media repeatedly broadcast and glamorize events with sordid details are produced and readily available to everyone. I disagree that the author bears responsibility for people not looking after their values and well-being. It would be similar to saying that documentaries on sordid events or non-fiction books bear the responsibility for those who act out similar crimes.

S:  If a reader asked you why they should read your books, what would you tell them?


L:  If you like to be entertained with lavishly enriched scenes in a fast-paced, exciting plot with absolutely gorgeous, talented, and stunning characters there is no doubt you will be entertained and filled with super positive vibes and enjoyable romance.

S:  What inspired The Sensual Treatment Series?

L:  I feel really aligned to medical romance because I come from a medical family and I feel that myself and my readers enjoy the fantasy of reading about other people’s lives that we would not ever experience. The romantic lives of medical professionals around the world helping global communities directly and indirectly are so real, and usually take a back seat to their daily responsibilities which are literally life-saving and having maximum impact on people’s well-being.

S:  Is there anything you would like readers to know about “Candied Exposure?”

L:  Sadly, “Candied Exposure” is the last book in The Sensual Treatment Series, but it finally answers some questions that have been burning throughout the series, and really draws everything to a close. It will be released April 1. For the fans of The Love Pulse Series and this one, The Sensual Treatments Series, I am currently working on a new series that you are going to love. If you want some sneak peeks, make sure you subscribe to my newsletter.

Here’s the blurb for “Candied Exposure”–

Kelly: 

A secret sweetheart but rough and wild as a lover as I need him to be sometimes taking charge and setting the pace that sends shivers down my spine. He’s just so attentive and respectful toward women.

A true immaculately dressed, sophisticated, modern gentleman with a strong and dominating physique that sets my mind on fire.

I feel fragile and deliciously protected.

I flourish with deep happiness and thoughts of us building our lives and dreams together from the foundations of the luxurious lifestyle that he has built. He’s an infamous rockstar in his medical law world.

Being in this half-dating and half-friendship stage sucks.

I want to be enveloped in the embrace of this strong, silent bad boy with the most tender heart.

Will we always just be the party couple or a couple of life?

Michael:


There’s a barrier around her that I don’t seem to be able to crack.

She feels distant and evasive.

I had thought that she had taken to me in the last few months.

There feels like a piece of me missing without Kimberly in my day, my heart, my life.
All this distraction needs to go away for us to build our lives together.

What is the wall made up of?

Will she let me into her heart?


S:  That sounds intriguing! Where can readers buy your book?


L:  It will be available tomorrow at https://amzn.to/3KrQPGp.
