Instead of introducing fierce and strong heroines, Reid writes contrary to convention as she lets her heroines such as Lake transform from obedient mice into lions that can fight for what they want and get it. However, she tends to change her mind and when the novel was published it no longer had the rivalry aspect as Willow turned out stronger than Kieran. She also just knew that her character had to be strong and independent while the hero would be bad as this would make for a nice rivalry.

For instance, the idea for “Fear Me” her debut novel just popped into her head and she knew that she had to write a novel about a handsome man totally in love with a woman. Unlike many authors who get their inspiration from happenings in their surroundings or circumstances, this is never the case for B.B. Reid loves to write about characters that seem to be doomed at the start but finally get to find love. While she can read novels in a lot of genres, she loves a romance that is not necessarily easy on the heart or the eyes. In fact, many of her novels have been compared to those of Penelope though Reid believes that they each bring their own uniqueness to their writings.

Nonetheless, she also does read fantasy, romantic suspense, and urban fiction. As she grew older, she gravitated towards new adult romance and especially anything by Penelope Douglas. She used to sneak into the attic or into her mother’s closet to find romance novels and reading these books soon become a hobby and later an obsession that would lead to her becoming a romance author in adulthood. Reid who also goes by Bebe started reading romances when she was thirteen and read a novel by Susan Johnson. Reid currently lives in Charlotte with Ivan her moody cat and when she is not writing her novels she loves binge eating chocolate and collecting Chuck Taylors.ī.B. While she was born in Queens, New York, her family moved her and her two brothers to North Carolina when she was five years old.
