Welcome To My Website!

I'm seeing lots of new visitors here, so I thought I’d say hello and WELCOME! My contemporary romance and women’s fiction novels have won awards and have made the USA Today Bestseller Lists. Learn more about me here. Learn more about my books here.

My two newest releases are Books 1 and 2 of my Ocean City Boardwalk Series. This series features 3 women who are best friends and whose businesses are located on the boardwalk. If you enjoy books with strong female leads, read on!

Sara Carson is a 30-something widow with a busy life. Two fun-loving best friends, a caring mom who needs her, and a thriving sweet shop. What more could a woman want? But when the ancient plumbing in her shop springs a leak and a gorgeous, dark-eyed stranger rushes to her rescue, hilarity unfolds—and Sara quickly sees exactly what she’s been missing.

Something most peculiar draws Landon Richards to Ocean City, Maryland—and to the lovely Sara. This woman touches his heart like no other, and the two of them explore the heady attraction that pulses between them. But haunting dreams have a way of encroaching on reality, and the strange phenomenon that brings these two together will also threaten to tear them apart.

“Fasano delivers tender honesty and sweet sexiness in this beach read. The pleasure of Fasano's style lies in the scrumptious descriptions (even when food isn't involved) and her characters' sincere, mature desire to make things work.” ~Publishers Weekly

Loss and betrayal have caused Heather Phillips to give up on love. She’s thrown herself into running The Lonely Loon, her Bed and Breakfast located on the boardwalk of Ocean City, Maryland. The “off season” in this tourist town is usually a time of rest and reflection for her; however, DB Atwell, a famous author, arrives at The Loon for the winter to finish his long-overdue novel. Daniel, too, has faced grief, and tragedy continues to haunt him. Once Heather and Daniel meet, their lives will never be the same.

Reminiscent of Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks and culminating in a happily-ever-after similar to the great Nora Roberts, Two Hearts in Winter is a story about learning to let go of the past, about realizing that, though hardship affects us, it need not define us, and about coming to understand and truly believe that beauty is sometimes covered in scars. The human heart has an amazing ability to forgive, to heal, and to hope, especially when touched by love.

“I only wish I had the right words to express the feelings this book brought to the forefront for me. As you know, any good book will bring forth emotions if written correctly. This author did an amazing job of doing it correctly!” ~Cyn’s Book Reviews

AN ALMOST PERFECT CHRISTMAS is a spin-off story that also takes place in Ocean City, Maryland.

“...heart-wrenching, sweet, touching, and requires a box of tissues. In this story, life isn't always perfect, but happy endings are still possible. Fasano captures the range of emotions and brings us into the fold to celebrate this couple's new chapter.” ~USA Today

I send you many blessings. Roberta

Do #Vegan #Recipes Scare You? Banana Apple Bread @DonnaFaz

My son and his girlfriend came to visit this weekend. He is vegetarian; she is vegan. So I made a banana apple bread that—even though it contains no eggs or dairy—turned out DELICIOUS. It’s light and moist and full of flavor.

This makes a wonderful afternoon “tea time” or “coffee break” snack. I hope you’ll try this recipe even though it’s got that label… vegan. J

Banana Apple Bread

1 3/4 cups flour (I used 1 cup all purpose and 3/4 cup spelt flour)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4  teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup sugar
2 large, ripe bananas
1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tart apple, grated
1/2 cup walnut pieces

1.    Preheat over to 350°F. Prepare a loaf pan using non-stick spray.
2.    Mix together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, sugar. Stir until combined.
3.    Add the banana to a food processor. Pulse to mash. Add the milk, molasses, oil, and vanilla to the processor bowl and process until smooth.
4.    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Add the apple and walnuts, stir just until evenly distributed. Do not over mix.
5.    Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a bit before removing from pan.


I am always looking for good vegan and vegetarian recipes. Do you have a favorite? Do you know any vegans or vegetarians?
