Do you like to take personality quizzes? There are quite a few different kinds out there. Do you ever wonder where a character would fall on one of those personality scales? Well, good news. My friend Sarah Anne Crouch has agreed to join us and give a sneak peek into how she developed her main […]
Do Opposites Really Attract?
We believe that opposites attract, right? How many romance novels can you name that prove it to be true? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here sorting my writings… Because ‘opposites attract’ is a time-honored trope right up there with ‘second chances’ and ‘friends to more,’ and I’ve written my share of them, with […]
Opposites Attract?
Merry CHRISTmas to all the IR readers! I’ve had a couple chats regarding the season and many of you, myself included, are dragging. It’s been a tough year and digging deep to celebrate has been a chore. For me, being intentional about the birth of Christ and spending time reading and in prayer hasn’t been […]
Artist, Meet Accountant! and #giveaway
Come on, admit it. You read the title of this post and immediately thought, “oh, that’s opposites attract.” Am I right? Tropes form the backbone of many a romance novel. They form a kind of shorthand as we talk about stories with our friends. Like this… You to friend: “Hey, I know you love marriage-of-convenience […]
Opposites Attract
Confession: I love writing about opposites in my romances. Maybe partially because my husband and I in many ways are SUPER opposite. He loves tea (like, obsessively so, like we have a wall of shelves devote to loose leaf tea and “teaware” in our house…) and I love Dr. Pepper. (I don’t have a wall […]

I was beyond thrilled when she invited me to join Potter’s House Books series (my book in the series, Heart Unbroken, is available on pre-order for […]
First Love
I was looking for inspiration when I read Krista’s post about Will and Hanna from The Engagement Plot. She mentioned the sparks and conflict between them, and how it made for characters close to her heart. I started my new romance, Anchored, and I think I need to start over because I’m just not feeling […]
Do Opposite Attract? by Merrillee Whren
This month I have a new release, A LOVE TO CALL MINE, the second book in my Front Porch Promises series. You can find buy links here. The hero and heroine of the story, Max and Heather, have opposite personalities, which gave me some built-in conflicts for the story. Even though they are opposites in […]
An Unlikely Couple
Last week, my hubby and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary! Yeah, we’re more than a little proud of this fact! We were what some would call a “long shot.” We did everything wrong. We’d only “met” in person twice before getting engaged. I was only 18 when we got married. Neither of us graduated […]
