The Invitation to Eden series features 27 awesome romance authors all writing about an island where anything and everything can happen. Each book is a novella (with a couple of novels thrown in) about what the individual authors dream of when they think of their own Eden. Here, we talked with the first half of the Eden authors (we'll talk with the second half this summer), whose books are all coming out through August, and asked them to describe their book in one word, describe their hero in one sentence, share a one-liner from their book and choose the kind of chocolate they prefer. Enjoy! (P.S. The prequel to the series, Master of the Island, is free.)
