The Battle is Heating Up!

Do you think colleagues should date? Do you think opposites attract? Are you lining up on Team Tanner’s side? Or Team Nate’s?

Have no clue what I’m talking about?  😀

Well…at the back of A Fool and His Monet, I invited readers to visit my Vote For Your Favorite page to tell me who they want Serena Jones to be with by the end of the series–Serena Jones Mysteries.

Vote-for-Tanner

I REALLY do plan to let YOU decide!

And wow, readers are passionate about their choices!

Check out these reasoned arguments from “JL” championing Tanner’s cause:

Reason 1) Tanner is her best and most loyal friend. Friends with the whole family, not just Aunt Martha (and do we really trust Martha’s friend choices?)

Nate is an infatuation.

Reason 2) Tanner’s protective but respects Serena as a capable, strong woman. He’s confident but realizes he can’t have “any woman he wants.” He knows he has to fight for Serena, and she’s worth it to him. He also recognizes Nate is a worthy opponent, as much as he tries to hide it.

Nate is like the mice he’s catching – moves himself into her life without invite, appearing in unexpected places – like her window. Nuff said.

Reason 3) Tanner’s getting up there, he’ll likely want to slow down/settle down in the upcoming books, right after he plays a vital role in Serena solving the mystery of her grandfather’s death, and Serena decides crime investigation no longer means to her what it had.

Nate still has to hit his midlife crisis, where he’ll grow his hair, get an “I love mom” tat and Harley Davidson across America to the anthem of “Life is a Highway.”

Plus, Serena could develop a rare tea allergy or be transferred to a remote island without TV, or mice – and then what would she and Nate have in common?!

Tanner 100%. I rest my case.

Sandra here: I’m rolling on the floor, laughing, picturing Nate on a Harley with that tat.  😆

Your Turn: Agree? Disagree? If you’ve read the book, be sure to vote!

In a few days…I’ll share reasons from the president of Nate’s fan club.  😀

    • Sorry to break this to you, Nate, but no, the proponents for Tanner are quite vocal. Perhaps if you were a little more forthright, we could put a stop to the suspicious rumours floating around about you.

  • Hi Sandra! I have never written to an author before, but I love your style and absolutely adore the Serena character! She is real, and her wit and sarcasm are refreshing. I like both Nate and Tanner! I do think Nate is an undercover something… FBI, CIA… he seems too perceptive not to be. However, if I had to choose, at this time I would vote for Tanner! Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more. Blessings to you and your family! Judy, Nashville, TN

    • Thank you so much, Judy! I am honoured to be the first author to whom you’ve written! To your other perceptive comments about Nate, I will simply smile. 🙂

      • I so agree. I mean, normally, I’m opposed to too much age difference, but the older you get, the smaller the gap- and I think Serena and Tanner are at the perfect age for him to keep her safe and grounded while she looks at things with a fresh outlook. Nate still has things to work out- but Tanner’s already there.

        Can I be the president of the Team Tanner cub?

Great to "see" you here today! I look forward to reading your comment.
