A Little Bit of Madness - Sheryl Browne
Where is the most romantic place in the world?
Sheryl’s answer:
The Far East, definitely, Bali in particular. I love the culture, the tradition, the
people, the climate!
What all the best-dressed girls in the Far East are
wearing:
But, you know, if we stop to look, we do have some of the most romantic
countryside closer to home.
What all the best-dressed girls in the UK are wearing:
Carol's answer:
I have yet to find the most romantic place in the world. I am afraid I have not travelled very far.
The furthest I have been so far, is Fuerteventura. I would have to say that is the most romantic place to date, as it was my first holiday abroad with my gorgeous husband and the children.
It was the first time the children and I had flown. I actually cried when we landed in Fuerteventura.

We had a chauffeur to take us on a 2 hour trike tour to a restaurant on the top of a mountain. It was one hairy ride as I have a fear of heights at the best of times let alone when I am on the back of a trike! |

Great post!! Oh the most romantic place in the world? Hmmm. I'm not that well travelled either but I have found two wonderful places. I adored Rome. It was the first foreign holiday I went on with OH and spent the entire time worrying he was going to propose! He didn't! The ultimate romantic place for me was Malta where we went on our honeymoon after he got around to proposing lol. I actually cried when it was time to go home! lol.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, JB! Were you worrying that he would (and you wouldn't) or that he wouldn't - and you WOULD?? If you get my drift. More stuff for your book here, I reckon. Bless his socks. Now I want a honeymoon!! Not fussed about the man... Haw, haw! Love it! Thanks for stopping by! :) xx
DeleteI would love to go to Rome. Malta sounds very romantic, too.
Deletecarol
OMGod! On top of a mountain - on a motorbike?! With your son at the wheel?! No wonder your hair is standing on end. On balance (forgive pun!), I think the snake might be safer! Love it! THANK you so much for hosting me today, Carol. Really, really appreciated! :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryl,
DeleteCongrats on the fab cover for A Little Bit of Madness.
That cover girl just looks so familiar :)
M was only posing on the trike for that photo. He didn't drive it. Good grief I would not be there if he had! LOL
It is a pleasure and an honour to have you on the blog again, Sheryl.
carol
I love all the photos - fab!
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually been abroad with my hubby yet (we're taking a family trip to Florida later on this year) so from the UK I have to say that the Lake District was the most romantic for me. The views were incredible and it had such a lovely, romantic atmosphere :)
Awww, we went walking in the Lake District - got lost! Not quite so romantic. We were staying in a small hotel and at dinner an American gentleman asked, 'Does anyone here have fire arms in their house?' I said, yes. 'You do?' he aksed, surprised. 'Yes,' I said merrily. 'We got one on the ceiling in the hall, one on the landing and one on...' Um, I thought he said FIRE ALARMS! #ambitdense
DeleteThere are lots of UK beauty spots I have yet to visit, too.
DeleteThe Lakes is an area I havent visited. I know it is very popular.
carol
I don't know what it is but that cover model is awfully familiar to me! Great post ladies and I'm really looking forward to reading all Sheryl's books - I have every one of them on my Kindle!
ReplyDeleteMandy :)
Shhhhh! She's incognito! Don't want her getting mobbed or stalked! Haw, haw! Thanks sooo much, Mandy for stopping by! :) xx
DeleteI believe she already has a stalker in the shape of me LOL
DeleteOnly kidding!
carol
I must admit that I love to travel and as soon as my Mr JH and I were married we started saving up for our first holiday abroad together. We've made travel to far flung places a priority in our lives ever since. The most romantic place in the world for me was standing on a beach at midnight with my lovely husband on an island in the Maldives - when it was a clear still and starry night and very dark; the whole beach was glittering with tiny blue fluorescent plankton. It looked like there were stars on the beach, in the ocean, and in the heavens. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. It was so very romantic!
ReplyDeleteJanice xx
Sniffle... sniffle. I suspect you might have had a very romantic evening, Janice. ;) Aw, bless. Bless hubby's socks, too, for sharing your romantic dreams. Love him! Well, you know... Thanks so much for dropping by, Janice. Have a lovely afternoon! :) xx
DeleteThat sounds very romantic, Janice :)
DeleteAlthough there must be some very romantic places closer to home in Scotland. I loved The Highlands and want to go back soon.
carol
Fab question + answers :) I'm cheating in my answer as it's not one particular place ... It's a cruise in the Med. All the places we stopped were romantic!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you challenged yourself on your first trip Carol. Thank you for being a part of the tour.
OMGosh. I have a tale to tell there, too. I got ill - they airlifted me off the ship!!! At midnight! Eeek! However, I would totally agree, a cruise in the Med would do it for me every time - with Clooney. And if he doesn't hurry up and make it official, it'll just have to be Ben Affleck - again. ;) Thanks so much for stopping by, sweetie! :) xx
DeleteA pleasure to be part of the tour, Sharon.
DeleteYes, it was quite a challenging trip. LOL
Hubby wants to cruise. With my fear of heights and deep water it is one challenging trip too far LOL
Sheryl,
That must have been very frightening!
carol
For the air-rescue service it was. I was bare-faced!! Eeek! :) xx
DeleteCarol, could you do a mini cruise? Definitely recommend.
DeleteSheryl, airlift? Yikes. We did have a death on board ... and the Bay of Lions was horrendous with Gale Force 10 winds. Very scary. They've changed the route now!
I would definitely do it again! But it was a holiday of a lifetime in 2005. Memories :) x
Airlifted Sheryl? hahahahaahaha! Drama queen! lol. Your life is like a soap opera!
DeleteOooh, a mini cruise! What a fab idea!! Do they have air to sea rescue, though?? ;) JB, you know I have a bit of a thing about uniforms. What can I say? Haw, haw. Better get the make-up tattooed on, just in case! :) xx
Deletebrilliant question and answers - and I love the picture of the hair on end on mountain :)
ReplyDeletemost romantic place... hum, that has go to have been that little cabin we rented in New Mexico, overlooking the deserted landscape, just the two of us + dog, sunset... yep, that's it :)
And no internet connection?! Yay! Ooooh, that's my idea of a romantic abode, Kim - a place where the world can't reach you and you can make time just for you + dog(s)! Love it! :) xx
DeleteThanks Kim. Crash helmet hairstyle LOL
DeleteNew Mexico hideout sounds fab.
carol
Most Romantic place Scarborough North Yorkshire, best Fish& Chips too. Eaten in the open air along the beach! (You can take the girl out of Yorkshire, but you can't take Yorkshire out of the girl) lolx
ReplyDeleteGreat post and yes your model is looking more and more familiar ... was she in Emmerdale? lol x
Yay! Fish and chips on the beach! Heaven! I much prefer it out in the open, too, Nikki. Noooo, I mean the fish & chip supper! Haw, haw!
DeleteYep, Emmerdale, Eastenders... You name it. She's in popular demand, y'know! Lover her! Thanks so much, Nikki! :) xx
Yes, quite agree Nikki, romantic doesn't have to be far from home.
Deletecarol
Whoop! Another great post on this Cover Reveal blog tour. Love the photos and the excerpt. A Little Bit of Madness is on my TBR, bring it out, quick!!
ReplyDeleteThe most romantic place in the world... For me, is the Lewinnick Lodge Restaurant in Newquay. It's a gorgeous restaurant tucked right onto a headland overlooking the sea and Fistral bay, and in the evening you can sit on the deck, watch the sun go down while sipping wine, with little candles on the tables illuminating you and your... romantic date. Honestly, on a fabulous summer's day I can't think of a more romantic place to hang out.
Good luck with the date... err, tour!!! XX
Sounds very romantic, Nicky.
Deletecarol
Aww, Nicky - I hope it was your hubby the candles were illuminating, not ... a certain rock star! What date??? Shhhh. Don't breathe a word. Clooney's shy, y'know! Thanks for stopping by, sweetie! :) xx
ReplyDeleteLoved the post and photos! And I agree with Nikki - Yorkshire is one of the most romantic places. I live in Saltaire, which is a beautiful old mill town and a most romantic village. Hard to pick my most romantic location of all, though, but the Scottish Highlands have to be up there.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the tour and congratulations on your contract!
Thank you, Helena! You are so right. Sometimes, we really do not see the beauty and romance in our own surroundings. The Scottish Highlands is most definitely up there. Now, do men in kilts count as men in uniform? Um... Hmmm? Well, now you come to mention it... :) xx
DeleteHelena,
DeleteI loved The Highlands, too. Cannot wait to go back. Long drive for us, 12 hours!
Sheryl,
Is that a lightbulb moment for another 'men in uniform' novel set in The Highlands? LOL
carol
Love the cover and can't wait to read it! Have to say about the bike though ... eek! I can't stand sheer drops and just the thought made my stomach turn over as I read the word 'EDGE' .... hope you are having a fab cover reveal Sheryl and great post Carol!
ReplyDeleteFAB, thank you, Linn! I think Fiction Addiction Book Tours and my lovely hosts have come up trumps! Love it! Thanks so much for stopping by! I don't mind heights actually. Did I ever tell you about the time we (my man & I) were in an open-air cable car going over the mountains? I said, oooh, isn't the view gorgeous, and stood up - and had a little swing on the supporting bar. He said, I suffer from vertigo! Oh. Ooops. #earlydays :) xx
DeleteYes, that was a very nervous smile as I posed for that photo, Linn.
DeleteSheryl, remind me never to get into a cable car with you :)
Better still remind me never to get into a cable car!
carol
Lovely post ladies. There are so many special places, in particular New Zealand, but I'd have to pick the Lake District as the most romantic, as that is where we got engaged :) x
ReplyDeleteThe lakes are popular as romantic, Lindsay.
Deletecarol
Yay! Ooooh, now that certainly more romantic than wandering lost around the lakes, Lindsay! Love it! Thanks so much for stopping by. :) xx
DeleteThank you to everyone who came along to join the tour. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to Sheryl and to Sharon (Fiction Addiction Tours) for making it happen.
carol
And a big THANK YOU to you, too, Carol. You've been a total star! Where would we be without you? A Little Bit Lonely. Sniffle! :) xxx
DeleteCarol, you know how much I adore your blog. I had to nominate you for an award: pick it up here, if you like: http://wp.me/p1HzVM-Sz Rock on! x
ReplyDeleteLoving this post, isn't it true that anywhere with our beloveds is the most romantic of places? However, location wise, a bit of a cliche I know but for me it has to be Venice.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Venice. I remember it as being everything you imagine Venice to be. Unfortunately, we only passed through on my unforgettable cruise. Was supposed stop on the way back, but they whisked me off in a helicopter instead (please see above). Not so romantic! Maybe I'll get to go back one day, minus the dramatics! Thanks so much for stopping by, Petty! :) xx
