Book Details: Love to Believe Fireflies Series, Book Two By Lisa Ricard Claro Publisher: Black Opal Books Published: January 30, 2016 ISBN: 978-1626944015 (print) ISBN: 978-1626944008 (ebook) ASIN: B01AS4IL08 Pages: 324 Genre: Contemporary Romance About The Author: Lisa Ricard Claro is a professional editor and award-winning author and Pushcart Prize nominee with published articles and stories spanning multiple media. She resides in Georgia with her husband of more than three decades and counting, is mother to three (a ruggedly handsome son and two stunningly beautiful daughters-?Lisa might be a little biased), and dreams of one day living at the beach. Seriously dreams of it. As in, she's already decorating her dream beach house. In addition to an array of sand dollars and seashells, she keeps a framed sign hanging in her office: Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses Welcome Here. Lisa is also a lover of dogs and cats, and has a heart for rescues. This is why you will find a rescued pet companion in every one of her books. Sometimes they are part of the story line (Pirate the dog, in Love Built to Last), and sometimes they're already ensconced in their forever home with one of Lisa's characters (Pavarotti the cat, in Love to Win). As you read Lisa's books, watch for the rescues. While Lisa is a fan of storytelling in all genres, Romance is her favorite because she believes everyone deserves love and a happily-ever-after. But she adores a little mystery now and then, too, so keep an eye out for Lisa's authorship of a whodunit one of these days soon.
