Welcome! I’m Jean Joachim. I write contemporary romance in two heat levels: sweet and spicy (or sensuous). I love getting lost in a new story and meeting new characters.
For those inquiring about Now and Forever 4, that will be released in the first half of 2013. I thank you so much for your interest. The fact that you are out there waiting for these books motivates me to write them. Thank you for your queries and for buying my books.
