Even Villains Fall In Love by Liana Brooks

The moment of acknowledgment, when you make a conscious decision to be in love, is when the Commitment phase starts. The true love came later when he acknowledged that there was more than a physical desire. He was well in Lust with Elizabeth Bennett within moments of meeting her. Like so many, Darcy confused love with Lust. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.” “I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. And now the fore brain steps in, crushing the screaming hind brain with the sharp stiletto heel and makes a choice. Here is another victim of Cupid’s arrow, in love.

The feel-good rush of oxytocin from phenomenal sex wears off. There are so many variables that people can (and have) devote a lifetime to explaining why some couples stay together, and others fall apart. So why aren’t happy faces making the headlines? First, good news doesn’t sell, second, Commitment is a very difficult stage to explain. I would go so far as to suggest that happy married life is one of those well kept secrets that only the locals know about. Luckily, science hasn’t been as cynical of the committed life as fiction writers. Neither of those are very promising for story writing. One sounds like life was all roses and wedding cakes for eternity, and the other sounds just a little like I Married An Axe Murderer. Traditionally life after the wedding is summed up in one of two ways: They Lived Happily Ever After -or- The End. Committed couples? Where’s the romance in that? (Confession: I totally think you can write a great romance with married characters and this is why EVEN VILLAINS FALL IN LOVE exists.)

Welcome to the beautiful, danger fraught world of Commitment.Ĭommitment is a place few authors dare to tread.
