Life experience taught Simona to be tough and self-reliant, but underneath she is more vulnerable than she likes to admit. Finally living in Paris, and hiding behind the ‘mysterious stranger’ facade, Simona has her perfect life. She has great familial support, fulfilling friendships, and an exciting job. That is until he walks back into her life, and with him comes trouble.
Andre Zatopek has spent a year looking for Simona since her complete disappearance following the discovery of his betrayal and her desperation to start over. In that time apart, both Simona and Andre grew into themselves and learned what they want out of life. Now can they make it together?
Their journey takes them to the beautiful old cities of Europe as they set out to rediscover each other. This time they have to get past their mutual passion to delve into each other’s souls, but does Simona’s rich and mysterious friend Philippe Bouchard own too much of Simona’s soul? Can true love conquer Andre’s betrayal and the secrets in Simona’s life? Is Simona willing to compromise her perfect life for a little trouble?
Interview with the Author:
Q: What makes Trouble Finding Blondie special?
It’s a combination of things. I wanted to write something that I would like to read. I’m a passionate reader who grew up on the classics which I have a ton of respect for. But today’s world is different; faster and more complex. Cluttered, in a certain way. My top picks are soulful stories about complex relationships, human growth, and perseverance.
Q: Your protagonist Simona is a very strong woman. Is she today’s female hero?
Simona arrives in Paris on a fragile road to recovery. She hides her broken heart behind her kick ass attitude and fast-paced lifestyle. Confronted with extraordinary challenges she hides her vulnerability behind her humor and her outgoing attitude. But deep down she is very fragile and just wants to be loved, like we all do. Every decision has consequences, but ultimately my story is about the perseverance of the human spirit.
Q: Is Trouble finding Blondie a story about a love triangle?
It would be a spoiler to deny or admit anything about the difficult relationships of the characters. This book is more about friendships, relationships in general, cultural differences, and different personal backgrounds. I also wanted to show that friendship between a man and a woman can exist. Whether is eventually evolves into something more serious, I will leave to my characters.
Q: One of your readers defined your story as a family saga…
It wasn’t planned that way, initially. But the characters in my head wouldn’t leave. They just kept exploring a multitude of directions. I love the Godfather by Mario Puzo because it’s a classic story of a complex and complicated family. Same with Danielle Steel. The books she writes usually deal with family issues. In both examples you have the good, the bad, the ugly. In a certain way, my story shares similar traits. The difference is that my stories don’t necessarily have happy endings.
Q: Are your characters based on real people?
A writer should always create ‘living people’. Hemingway once said that characters are just caricatures of the real people. My story is fictional. My characters and many scenes are not. Let’s leave it at that.
Q: You have elaborate descriptions of food and fashion.
I guess that is always going to be my flavor - passion for travel, food, and clothes.
Q: Why do you think readers will enjoy your books?
One reviewer wrote that my book reads like a movie script. It’s fast paced. No boring prologues, a lot of dialogues, humor with twists and turns. But it also has the depth of complicated relationships, personal growth, test of characters, and a beautiful love story with juicy passionate attraction. Two very similar souls at different stages of growth.

About the Author
I was born in former Czechoslovakia, behind the Iron Curtain, and under the Communist regime. I grew up with stories from grandparents who survived both World Wars. I was surrounded by boys, naturally turning into a rebellious tomboy. That trade carried me through life and everyone close to me knows not to dare me.
I had been poor and I had been rich. I have lived in many countries; with every color and nationality imaginable. I was raised Christian, but I'm more spiritual than religious. I'm fascinated by the human body and the mind. Philosophy and psychology are my passions. Interestingly enough majority of my heroes are male. Somehow, tough, I keep writing about strong women.
The older I get, the less I know. It must be wisdom. Keep in mind, I'm still just work in progress. I'm an organized freak, a minimalist, a passionate reader and an expert gourmet. I love life, travel, my two amazing boys, my partner and people in my tribe with the same vibe. I'm truly blessed.
I live in paradise with amazing ocean views, mountains, and rainbows of Maui. Even after 20 years I don't take it for granted. I wake up every morning thanking God for another day. Like any survivor, when you know hunger and meet death... you don't sweat the small stuff. I believe laughter is the original Prozac and my drug of choice is coffee and wine.
Why do I write? I have three lifetimes worth of stories from different continents and a long list of amazing characters. Some of them finally made it onto the pages. This is my debut novel...

I love the mix of French in there too. I felt some" mystery" to the story that kept me engaged all the way through. I definitely will be looking for more books from this author.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!!! By Frank Baranik Great book, great depth of characters, and an amazingly elaborate love triangle that will make you struggle to pick sides. Simona is occasionally too good to be true, but I did love her integrity and love to "do what is right". She somehow seems to make the other protagonists become better people. And though a little hard to admit, she made me rethink my own hierarchy of values, my family relationships and check on my karma account. This story will bring you to tears and make you fall in love at the same time. The ending is a little heartbreaking. I would love to see Simona's story continue...

By JamieJo Trouble Finding Blondie: A story rich with culture, elegance, and strong moral themes. It’s a love story, but has so many tidbits of “life advice” that it feels like more than your typical romance. The passion in the book is just right, not too raunchy, but still spicy. At times I felt like I was living in a fairytale with all of the fancy dinners and places the characters traveled to in Paris. As a struggling writer, I always tell myself that money isn’t everything, but this story sure made it look fun! A fun, quick, beach read for readers who love romance and women’s fiction.
