📚Books & Music 🎤 I love attending concerts! I especially love when it’s an artist that has a song that either inspired a book scene or matches the vibe of the book. Last Wednesday I got to see Post Malone in concert at his Big Ass Stadium Tour! It was an amazing concert and he sang “Better Now” which vibes with Reclaiming You, book 1 of the Fast Lanes series. Enjoy the clip of Posty 💙

—> Do you have any plans to attend any concerts soon? Who would you love to see?

Resisting Her ❤️‍🔥 The crux of Damian & Cici’s love story. He has been the no relationship guy. So when he finally notices his sister’s best friend as someone more, he jumps in whole heartedly only to be pulled back again. But a short term fling wasn’t enough and now he has to ‘resist her’.

What to expect:
~ Protective, grumpy alpha
~ Sassy, sunshine heroine
~ Angsty pining
~ Date others to forget the one you want
~ Jealousy

—> Coming later 2025!!

On the road again… Back to Oklahoma to pack up my daughter to come home for the summer! How is it that a whole school year has passed us by?!?! But I made it! I survived my daughter’s first year in college. I’m going to admit there were many sleepless nights in the beginning always wondering if she was safe. Missing her around the house. But as time went by, it became our new normal.

Anyways, I spent time this past week handwriting a scene so I’m typing it up now. And the story is continuing!!

💥 COMING THURSDAY — TITLE REVEAL💥 If you want to to know before everyone else, sign up for my newsletter. It will go out on Wednesday 😉 And maybe a scene snippet. 🤫

Damian & Cici —> a best friend’s brother romance!

🎊About Last Night…. 🎊 It’s that time of year for Fiesta San Antonio! The party with a purpose! It’s a city wide, 10 day celebration raising money for all kinds of programs for our city.

The first NIOSA I attended was back in 1995! Let’s not count how many years that is. The only year I missed was 2020, when the world shut down.

—> Is there any city activity you like to participate in year after year??

I’m going to be doing my VERY FIRST BOOK SIGNING!!! I’m so excited and nervous. This is a book fair & signing for Hebbronville authors or authors who have written about our small hometown. Some of my nerves are coming from the fact that I will be the ONLY ROMANCE author in attendance. There are many history, historical fiction, poets, and non-fiction authors. I’m nervous about my ‘man covers’ displayed on my table.🔥 LOL. But women love romance right?!?! 😉

ALL MY SOUTH TEXAS GALS, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU HERE!!

Did you know that I’m originally a small town girl? That’s right. I spent my formative years in a town where everyone knew each other. It was a treat when we went to the “city”, Laredo or Corpus Christi. My town did not have and still does not have a mall, movies, or bowling alley. We spent or time “cruising” up and down the main highway of the town. Yes, I was driving on my own with friends in the car at 12 years old.

From small town to city… I think I could thrive in either. And don’t ask me which I prefer because my answer is sure to change on the time of year, week, or mood.

—> Which do you prefer, small town or city??

📝What is my Writing Style📝 Plotter or pantser or a little of both?? I heavily lean towards Pantser. That’s not saying that I go into a story completely blind, because I have some sense of the story. I usually have “big” scenes that happen beginning, middle and end. Then I just jump in and see where the characters take me.

Is it a little stressful? Sometimes. Especially when the characters take a left turn unexpectedly. Or a right. Or they go straight when they were supposed to take a left. You get the picture. 🤣

Does the story stay true to my original vision? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The story as a whole will always have the feeling I had when it originally came to mind, but the way they got to the HEA sometimes is a little different.

Take Damian & Cici’s story… This weekend I spent time writing a scene that I didn’t envision and replaced one that I had thought was going in. As the characters evolve and become who they are, they take over and the dialogue and scenes follow them.

—> It’s the last week of April, did you meet your reading goal? Stick with your TBR? Or how many books did you read?

🌸Which romance heroine do you align with most? 🌸 I most identify with Sophia from Naive in Love. It’s no surprise since I wrote it from my perspective. The story was picked from my life and retold, things changed, and some fabricated. But I was always the heroine in the story.

Since then, I have written stronger females I admire. Characteristics I wish would come more easily to me, but I struggle with even as an adult. My inherent introverted personality is very dominant.

—> Who do you align with the most? Or if you don’t, what characteristic do you admire or wish you had?

❤️‍🔥Mi Amor❤️‍🔥 Does that pet name make you feel giddy?? Now, did I stop and take a picture in the middle of a grocery store? Why yes, yes I did! 🤣 This weekend we were visiting my daughter in Oklahoma and taking her grocery shopping, when I saw this Cheerios box. Alex immediately came to mind. I stopped to pull out my Kindle, and my daughter turned around and asked, “Are you coming?” I, of course, said, “Hold on. I gotta take a picture.” The inevitable eye roll followed as she waited on me to snap my pic.

—Alex—
“Ya tienes mi corazon, amor.”
“I call you, only you, “love.” I call you “amor” because you are the only woman who has brought me to my knees. You are the only one I have ever wanted to spend time with. I told you before, but I will remind you in case you forgot. Tu ya tienes mi corazon. You already have my heart.”

—> What is the funniest, silliest, most embarrassing place or picture you’ve taken for the ‘gram?

Doing my civic duty…. I’m sitting in the jury pool today waiting to see if I get chosen for a jury panel. A fold out table, comfy chair, and coffee and I’m set.

I wonder if the 2 ladies sitting on either side of me working will get curious and take a peek at what I’m writing??? Or if the people sitting in the lines of chairs behind me are reading over my shoulder??? Gotta keep the scenes I’m doing while I’m here PG rated! 😉😆🤣

Coming later 2025!! Are you ready for an angsty, best friend’s brother romance?!?! Damian & Cici’s love story is coming along and they won’t stop talking. It may even be longer than I originally planned since they keep giving me more scenes! 😳

What is Damian apologizing for? How does he take Cici’s response? Is that really how she feels? What is happening?!?! A small clue 🔎🕵🏻‍♀️: It may or may not be due to another woman in Damian’s life.

📅Stay tuned…. next month I’ll be announcing the title! Not sure what day yet, but I’ll give plenty of notice. 😉

🌧🧊What’s your mindset? 🧊🌧Are you a half empty or a half full kind of thinker? Springtime in Texas can be beautiful, but it can also be catastrophic. That was last Monday for us. The weather was beautiful, but in the course of about an hour of me arriving home after work, a rain cell came through and we were inundated with hail for about 15 minutes.

Now, I’m going to admit that I’m the half empty, dooms day thinker. I worry, then worry some more. I make myself anxious over things that haven’t happened, that I can very clearly see COULD happen. My mind will create every ‘bad’ scenario and see so many roadblocks.

“Cognitive distortions are inaccurate or irrational thought patterns that can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. They are common in mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.” This is me. I was at a counselor Self-Care training in December and had an a-ha moment. The presenter discussed this mindset and instantly knew it was me. There was no denying it. She then discussed cognitive reappraisal, which is an emotion regulation strategy where you reframe or reinterpret a situation to change its emotional impact.

Want to know more about what I learned about myself. What plans I have for my negative talk? Continue reading on my blog… you know where to find it. 😉

Are you a glass half empty or glass half full thinker?

Have you met Javie & Ritza yet? If not, let me tell you about Javie. While I love all my MMCs, Javie is in a league of his own. He’s strong, protective, tall, dark and handsome, but he has a high emotional intelligence. He can read people and predict their needs. If you love an emotionally mature, protective alpha roll, then Javie is your dream book boyfriend.

And don’t worry, when the book ends their story does not end there. You won’t have to miss them too long because you will see Javie & Ritza again in Damian & Cici’s story (Fast Lanes book 2). He also helps Cici when she is struggling. Damian & Cici’s love story is full of ups and downs. Damian is fighting his feelings and Cici is hiding how hurt she truly is.

Want to know more about Damian & Cici’s personalities? Here’s Cici’s opinion in Beautiful Serenity:

“You’ve got this, chica. Between the chihuahua and the pit bull, you’re safe.” She winks at me with a goofy smile.
Cici will follow me anywhere. She’d go to the depths of hell for me if I needed her to. The description of herself and Damian is spot on. She is full of bark but wouldn’t hurt a fly, and Damian is calm until you mess with something he loves.

Have you met Javie & Ritza yet? If not, let me tell you about Javie. While I love all my MMCs, Javie is in a league of his own. He’s strong, protective, tall, dark and handsome, but he has a high emotional intelligence. He can read people and predict their needs. If you love an emotionally mature, protective alpha roll, then Javie is your dream book boyfriend.

And don’t worry, when the book ends their story does not end there. You won’t have to miss them too long because you will see Javie & Ritza again in Damian & Cici’s story (Fast Lanes book 2). He also helps Cici when she is struggling. Damian & Cici’s love story is full of ups and downs. Damian is fighting his feelings and Cici is hiding how hurt she truly is.

💡I NEED YOUR IDEAS!! 💡 I absolutely love when an idea for a scene pops in my head. I had been struggling on how Damian & Cici were gong to come back together. I added a character that I now ADORE and figured out a way to incorporate him towards the ending to continue to be a hero (can’t say much more, don’t want to give too much away). My only worry, readers will want his story… 😬 and he’s not part of the Fast Lanes crew.

🖊WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP —> Give me ideas for a crazy ex-girlfriend who is now harassing Damian and Cici. I need a single action/incident where the police can and will be called. It won’t be proven to be her right away, but police do come to investigate/take report. I want the action to point to her, but not definitive because this won’t be the last thing she does.

🥁AND NOW THE FUN PART —> If I choose your idea for the scene, you will get the whole Fast Lanes series books signed and other goodies!! Since you will need to wait for the book to be completed and released to get your copies, I will throw in the ebooks of Rewriting Us & Reclaiming You as soon as I make the decision.

💌 WHERE TO SEND IDEAS —> You can DM me here on IG or email me at info@torialvarez.com . If I use your idea, I will be reaching out to you via the same format you wrote to me.
I need all your ideas by Friday, April 4th! I’ll be reading and choosing after this date! 😊

Books and coffee shops… a great combination! 📚☕️ When I was visiting my daughter back in January I visited this coffee shop while she was in class to write and of course get my daily fix of caffeine! It was cozy, the coffee was great and service was wonderful. And the cherry on top??? A little library filled with books!! I can’t wait to go back and drop off a book (or couple) of mine.😉

Book pictured…. Beautiful Serenity💙 Slow burn, friends to lovers romance. Please read TW 🚫

—> What is your order at coffee shops? Mine is a cafe au lait, with almond or soy milk.

Big or small, AI is affecting all creators. Our work is being used to help a trillion dollar company make more profits. These big companies are forgoing legal and ethical standards for greed. Plain and simple. They wanted to spend the least amount as possible and wanted the works as fast as possible.

The engineers knew they were working in a severely grey area, but they did not seem to care. Court documents which were released unreacted show they admitted this in internal discussions. For these engineers, the humans behind these works were not important to them— ”and would have best context for what sort of appetite the org has for asking for forgiveness, not
permission”. It all comes down to POWER & GREED.

I searched the database and found 4 of my books on the site META used to train its AI model. The case is Kadrey et al. v. Meta Platforms. Yes, I saw one post about it this morning and I fell down the rabbit hole. Technology is advancing far quicker than the laws and regulations. We can’t trust that people will be ethical. Before our very eyes we see the destruction of anything standing in the way of power. The current state of the country has shown, power is a “high” that many people can not handle appropriately.

Authors, go and check to see if your books were also on the site.

—> Let’s discuss! How do you feel about AI? Do you use it? Should there be regulations on training it? Gimme all your thoughts. But let’s keep it respectful 😉

📍You are exactly where you need to be…📍 Sometimes we get caught up in the cycle of comparison and begin to feel down about where we are. Remember that comparison is the thief of joy. Our journeys are different. Our paths are individualized. I know I need to remind myself of this often.

🟨 Yellow Flag ~ Romance edition 🟨 We always hear about the red, green, and even beige flags in romance, but what about yellow?? As I’m writing Damian, he is not a ‘mean’ alpha-hole, but an indifferent one. He’s not cruel, he just doesn’t really give a damn what others think of him. But all that starts to change when he begins to see Cici in a different light.

Damian’s Yellow Flags:
💛 His lack of relationship experience. No one has kept his attention long term.
💛 Lack of communication. His alpha-hole personality and lack of relationship experience enhance this issue.
💛 Using someone to try and forget about the one he truly wants. This turns out to be a really bad mistake.

❇️ But not to worry… he has so many green flags too. It just takes him a bit to trust himself to show them! ❇️

—> Predictive text: My book boyfriend’s yellow flag is __________.

Step into the world of Fast Lanes! If you’ve read Reclaiming You or Beautiful Serenity, you will definitely notice some clues about Damian & Cici’s relationship that will take place in Fast Lanes Book #2… can you guess why there’s so much secrecy? 😏

I had been a little stuck, the story slow moving, but I got some momentum going during the break! It helped to put a timeline together for myself since I was throwing scenes down with no regard to how their story fit into book #1, Reclaiming You. Going back and plugging the timeline in, I found a MAJOR plot issue that I’m going back and fixing. Not to worry though, the angst is still off the charts! All the hidden pining will end with an explosion when they finally get together! 💥

Coming later 2025!

—> I added a song to describe the vibes of the story… What song vibes with the book you’re reading now?

❤️ A Love Story~ 20 years ❤️ This year we celebrated in a cozy cabin in Hochatown, OK. Hubby got to fish while I spent time writing. I never would have thought I would “hike” with my laptop, but that’s what I did. Trekked behind hubby as he searched for a good fishing spot. Then I would find a cozy, shaded area and sit with my computer and start typing.

These are the things that love stories are made of. Finding a way to incorporate passions of two different people. Sharing a piece of our hobbies with the other. Just like hubby will stroll bookstores with me, I’ll hike with a laptop to sit with the serene nature sounds as my characters continue to tell their story.

—> Are there any scenes in stories where the characters share their hobbies with the other? Or incorporate them together? My mind is now reeling with how I can incorporate mine 😉

🌸 Spring Break 🌸 I’m on the road…. Off to see the kid in OK. Fun fact, I had never been to OK in my life until we took my daughter to tour OU the summer before her senior year. And now, now it seems I’m there so very often. This is my 2nd trip in 2025!

We are spending a couple of days with the kid, then heading to a lake cabin for another couple of days to relax and recharge. ☺️

I’m currently working on Damian & Cici’s story. I had an alpha reader to go over what I have and there are some changes I need to make. Time line is tricky since I’m following the timeline of 2 other books. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I did this to myself (or more precisely, Damian did it to me!! He had to go and get smitten during their shared trauma.) and that story is stuck in my head. Now to unravel and weave again. 😉

I started a spreadsheet with the timeline of the other books and now I’m weaving Damian & Cici’s story in. By doing this I found a major mess up! 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ I introduced someone too early! Oops! My bad 😂I wonder who this person is?? Hmmm 🤔 Any guesses???

—> Who is ready for Spring?!?! This girl!

Naive in Love is a coming of age, learning to trust yourself romance. It’s high with emotions and filled with angst. Read the TW.

One reviewer: “This was not an easy read. No. It was hard and at one point I thought, no I don’t know if I could read this one.”
The emotional abuse is depicted and lived by the FMC. She is blind to the red flags 🚩. Young, naive and introverted, she didn’t realize they were prominently waving!

Ebook and paperback available at all major retailers!

—> Midweek check in! How is the week going? Mine is great… 2 more days and I start spring break!

💙💜 Evolution of Naive in Love 💜💙 My debut novel was a true work in progress. I knew nothing of the publishing world, had not befriended any authors or bookish creators. I just cannon balled into the author world. But looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.

The story was years in the making, writing and giving up for far too long. Then with the lack of knowledge, I sent a subpar story out in the world. But I truly appreciate those who read it and were able to see the diamond in the rough.

But now, I truly want it read. It’s a story of learning about yourself, how easy it is to fall into an unhealthy relationship, friendships, red flags, and trusting your gut. There are TW of emotional abuse and cheating.

Check out the 6th pic for something fun!!

—> How do you feel about your late teens early twenties? Mine were filled with tons of missteps and learning.

Hey y’all, I’m Tori— a Latina romance author who loves writing slow-burn, angsty love stories that pull at your heartstrings. I’ve been a little MIA lately… blame our home! In case you missed it, we had the tube that connects to the kitchen sink somehow pop off in the middle of the night and we woke up to our 1st floor covered in water. This was mid January… and we have not even started the reconstruction process 😩. Who knew things like this move at a snails 🐌 pace??

Anyway, back and forth with the company that did the water mitigation process and now with insurance, my brain width was taken over. But we have the contractor hired and he can take over with the insurance company to ensure we were estimated enough to complete our home and hoping 🤞🏼 construction can start in a couple of weeks. Or maybe that’s just wishful 🍀 thinking?!?!

Other than that, here are Five Random Things about me!
1. On the weekend days my husband works, I stay in my PJ’s until noon if I can.
2. Criminal Minds is my daughter’s and my cozy comfort. Hubby thinks we are a little disturbed. 😆
3. I can’t start my day without coffee. ☕️
4. I’m a proud Gen Xer... but never want to reveal my true age. I’ve been fibbing about it for so long, I sometimes forget how old I am🙈
5. I’m currently having a love/hate relationship with the news. I don’t want to watch and stick my head in the sand, but I need to watch to ensure I’m prepared for all the insaneness that is happening. 📺

So that’s me! A quirky, ADHD, coffee addicted romance writer. So if you like angsty romance with all the feels, you’re in the right place. 🌹

Hey y’all, I’m Tori— a Latina romance author who loves writing slow-burn, angsty love stories that pull at your heartstrings. I’ve been a little MIA lately… blame our home! In case you missed it, we had the tube that connects to the kitchen sink somehow pop off in the middle of the night and we woke up to our 1st floor covered in water. This was mid January… and we have not even started the reconstruction process 😩. Who knew things like this move at a snails 🐌 pace??

Anyway, back and forth with the company that did the water mitigation process and now with insurance, my brain width was taken over. But we have the contractor hired and he can take over with the insurance company to ensure we were estimated enough to complete our home and hoping 🤞🏼 construction can start in a couple of weeks. Or maybe that’s just wishful 🍀 thinking?!?!

Other than that, here are Five Random Things about me!
1. On the weekend days my husband works, I stay in my PJ’s until noon if I can.
2. Criminal Minds is my daughter’s and my cozy comfort. Hubby thinks we are a little disturbed. 😆
3. I can’t start my day without coffee. ☕️
4. I’m a proud Gen Xer... but never want to reveal my true age. I’ve been fibbing about it for so long, I sometimes forget how old I am🙈
5. I’m currently having a love/hate relationship with the news. I don’t want to watch and stick my head in the sand, but I need to watch to ensure I’m prepared for all the insaneness that is happening. 📺

So that’s me! A quirky, ADHD, coffee addicted romance writer. So if you like angsty romance with all the feels, you’re in the right place. 🌹

✨Self Care ✨With the never ending news cycles and issues with getting the house repaired, I’ve been trudging along on empty. Yesterday hubby was off, (it’s been weeks since he had a Saturday off), and he indulged me in taking me to a bookish pop-up! It was a perfect relaxing afternoon. Lunch, books, and a cold one while soaking in some vitamin D before the next cold front. Yes, he’s one of the good ones. 🥰 Even though he doesn’t enjoy reading, he will accompany me to any bookish adventure I want to take.

There were a couple of other bookish vendors, but I forgot to take pics🤦🏻‍♀️ Bookmarks, stickers, sleeves, just cute bookish accessories we all need!

Thanks to @thesecondchaptersatx for a cute way for all to continue enjoying books! The book bundle was only $18 and it had 2 hardbacks! It was thrillers for me! 😉

🚫 Banned Book 🚫 Gone with the Wind has been sitting on my shelf for years. This is actually my parent’s copy from the ‘60’s. I’m going to admit I’ve never read the book. I’ve watched the movie so many times that I have lost count. My mom and I would watch probably yearly when it aired on TBS.

My mom had read the book and she told me the changes from book to movie adaptation. As problematic as people say this book and movie are, it stays as one of my favorites. It’s been challenged due to racial slurs, offensive stereotypes, depiction of slavery, and more.

I did read the sequel, Scarlett, many moons ago. My fascination with it has and will always be Scarlett. Her strength and resolve to overcome adversity, for me was admirable. Her beauty and resourcefulness. And I know some will counter that. But as a shy introvert, it’s mesmerizing. I also look at it through the lens of the time period when women did not have power. For her to exude it when it was going against societal norms, was daring.

—> Have you read the book or seen the movie? Thoughts? (Keep it respectful 😉)

The current state of my house. For those of you who missed it, my house had a plumbing issue a couple of weeks ago and it flooded our home. The deconstruction is almost complete. It seems like this has been going on forever. I really would like to see progress of it coming back together.

So my brain power is spilt between full time job, this mess, and news about the government. But all I want to do is get lost in Damian and Cici’s love story!! Actually, the story has been my escape to all the craziness out there.

Anyway, that’s my life right now.

☕️ Another coffee shop ☕️ This time in Norman, OK. Mom life: I love knowing I must have done something right! The college kid calls one night needing mom. Mom makes the 6 1/2 hour drive to the college kid. 😊 It was mom & dad she called. It is mom time she needed.

So now, coffee shop for me while I wait for her to finish classes. Then we can go eat, explore, and lounge at the hotel binging Criminal Minds!

No matter how old she gets, she will always be my baby!

Damian & Cici are talking. Lots to organize because another scene hit me yesterday when I was driving. And that scene is overflowing with drama and angst!! Gah! Can’t wait!!

—> How’s your Friday going?

🩷The Power of Intimacy🩷 Steamy scenes don’t necessarily leave a lasting impact— it’s the quiet moments that build TRUST, create LONGING, and make the CONNECTION so much more powerful. 💫 It’s not about instant heat—it’s about building desire that lasts.

That’s what you will always find in my stories. While I LOVE the HEAT 🔥, I ADORE the journey to get there. The bond created to bring two people together.

Meet Garrett & Toni in Beautiful Collision. A swoony cinnamon roll cowboy and an independent Latina.

—> What’s the last slow burn you devoured?
