Celebrating Romance Awareness Month with a New Release and Giveaway

Jean C. Gordon here celebrating Romance Awareness Month (August) with some fun data about modern-day romance and a giveaway of my latest book, Reuniting His Family, which is in stores now.

A couple of years ago, Zoosk.com, a romance social network, surveyed more than 2,300 Americans, including both singles and people in committed relationships. Here are some of their thoughts about modern-day romance:

• 71% said their significant other is romantic, while only 41% of singles on the dating scene say the same about their "other."
• 59% of couples said they’re satisfied with the amount of romance in their lives, whereas only 20% of singles said the same.

What’s people deem "romantic" changes as their status moves from "single" to "in a relationship."

• Couples preferred a "hug and a kiss" (41%) over a romantic candlelit dinner (39%) as the most romantic gesture from their partner.
• Singles, on the other hand, preferred a candlelit dinner (44%) over a hug and a kiss (32%).
• And while taking out the garbage without being asked is appreciated, only 2% of couples and singles, respectively, said this qualifies as the most romantic thing their partner could do. 

Americans agree that romance is important.

• 78% of those polled agreed that they consider romance in a relationship to be "very important."
• 20% said it is "somewhat important" and only 2% say it is "not important." 

Now for your chance to win Reuniting His Family (Print or eBook; winner's choice). What do you find romantic? I'll pop back Wednesday morning and post the randomly selected winner in the comments.

A Father's Promise
Rhys Maddox wants nothing more than custody of his two sons. Released from prison after a wrongful charge, the widowed dad will do anything to bring his boys home where they belong. But that doesn't include falling for their former social worker. Now leading an outreach program for families in transition, Renee Delacroix can't escape the tall, dark and intriguing single dad…or his adorable little boys. But Rhys is determined to go it alone. Until one incident that may cost him what he wants the most. Now it's up to Renee to save him…if she can make him see she's just what he needs to complete their forever family.
