Aspiring writers are told “write what you know”.
I took that advice to heart.
I know two things… business (based on decades in new business development) and romance (based on falling and staying in love with the man of my dreams).

Okay, writers aren’t supposed to have favorite reviewers
so I won’t mention that Monie is one of my favorite reviewers
(grinning)
but I WILL share some of what she has to say
about Invisible…
“Now this is what romance writing should be. Last year’s Breach of Trust was winner in my book and I was eagerly anticipating Invisible. Kimber Chin lived up to the expectation and gave us another hot story.”

I’m being interviewed on

where I talk about being solar powered (where are you, Mr. Sun?)
and my first kiss (What? I’m not a redhead!).
BD Whitney at BookWenches reviewed Invisible
and wow, simply wow.
This is the type of review that an author never, ever, ever forgets.
The type that we print out to tape up on fridge doors
and carry around in our wallets.
Here is some of what BD had to say…
“When you pick up Kimber Chin’s novel Invisible, plan your reading time carefully, because once you start it, you are not going to want to put it down until you read the final page. Expect to stay up into the early hours with your eyes glued to the page, ignoring your family’s complaints about wanting silly things like dinner as well as your own body’s need for sleep. This book is simply that good. It has everything you might want in an entertaining read: a great plot, fascinating and incredibly well-developed primary and secondary characters, enough suspense and action to please the pickiest critic, and a romance that is both sweet and sensual.
This story revolves around a treasure hunt. The hunt starts with small clues and soon balloons into a large-scale chase across the country and into Central America. Although they initially get off to a bad start, Maeve and Hagen have to rely upon each other and trust each other in order to reach their goal.
Ms. Chin has done an excellent job giving us characters who will capture and maintain our attention in Invisible. In Maeve, we have a small and dynamic bundle of mystery. She seems tough, especially given her underworld connections, but we also see that she has a fragile emotional side. She desperately wants to have a family or at least people who love her, but she’d rather push people away than get hurt. Hagen is her opposite in almost every way. He is loud and hearty, with a family he adores and a huge appetite for both food and love. I found him to be absolutely irresistible with his incessant talking and his constant need for food, and I also appreciated the fact that he has as many imperfections as the next man.
This story runs a gamut of emotions: from humor to sadness to tearing-the-sheets-up lust and love. I enjoyed every minute of this book and found myself rooting for Maeve and Hagen to not only find the “hidden treasure” they are seeking, but to also recognize the treasure that they have found in each other. I found Invisible to an engrossing and very entertaining read, and I think that you probably will as well.”
I think everyone on the planet knows what a total Margaret Moore fan freak I am. I love, love, love her Medieval romances and I’m quickly falling in love with her Regencies (LOVED A Lover’s Kiss).
Today, I had one of those dream come true moments. I’m posting on Margaret Moore’s blog! Yes, ME!
Come on over and read how I embarrass myself!
