About Me featuring Katie

Tuesday's Island Babe is Katie Reus. Katie practically grew up at the beach where she divided her time between swimming, sunbathing, and reading Carolyn Keene or Judy Blume. She was born and raised in the Sunshine State (aka Florida) and has lived there most of her life, except for a three year leave of absence when she moved to North Carolina for school. Somewhere in the midst of cursing the snow, rebelling against the restrictive footwear, and trying to graduate, Katie met her real-life Prince Charming. She'll read anything that sparks her interest, although she does tend to read romantic suspense more than anything else. And that's exactly what she writes. Katie writes about every day, strong women thrown into precarious situations, and the men who love them.

Favorite Reading Position

The Beach

Best love song

Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira

Favorite Heroine

Ahhh, this is too hard so I'm going to go w/ one of my newest faves! Hope Malory from Raintree Haunted. When she threatens to shoot Gideon if he touches her again (spontaneous orgasms and all that) I developed a girl crush. (AND, she gets to sleep with Gideon)

If I HAD to pick…Matt Sanders or Sam Donovan

If you were stuck on a desert island what 3 things would you bring
