BACHELOR’S SPECIAL Cover Reveal

10 May

Bachelor’s Special by Christine Warner

 

 

Bachelor's-Special-CW-1600

 

Jill Adgate wants three things from life: a successful catering business, a family, and the love of an exceptional man. What she has is no job, a mounting pile of bills, and her outspoken best friend—who sets her up on a blind date with the man who inadvertently ruined Jill’s life.

Chet Castle is a businessman who has everything, except the ability to trust. Burned by a money-hungry fiancée, he refuses to get involved in any relationship that has a shelf life longer than a head of lettuce.

Intrigued by her ambition—and determined to get her in bed—Chet offers Jill the chance of a lifetime: work as his live-in chef and he’ll help her get her catering business off the ground. When sparks fly in the kitchen, Jill realizes what’s cooking is a recipe for disaster…

And just for fun…because I was so excited the moment I received that email in my box with the subject line “Your Cover”…I’d like you to get the tune Summer Nights from GREASE (as sang by Olivia Newton-John) into your head.

Okay, do you have the beats, lyrics, and overall good feeling of the music pumping in the back of your head?

When I received my cover I was so beyond-words-excited I was bouncing around the house singing that song, but I changed the lyrics.

Here’s what I came up with…retitled to COVER LOVING

ENJOY

“Cover Nights”

Cover lovin’, had me a blast
Cover lovin’, happened so fast
I got my cover…crazy for me
With a boy cute as can be
Cover days drifting away
To, uh oh, those cover nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Does the cover feature a car?

The girl on the cover, took to the pool
The boy on the cover, started to drool
He kissed her senseless, she nearly drowned
When he started making advances and messing around
Summer sun, something’s begun
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it cover love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did the girl on the cover put up a fight?

He took her dining at Burger Bar
They got acquainted driving his car
At his house he stole a kiss on the steps
Her heart is beating, she’s out of her depth
Summer fling don’t mean a thing
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
But I don’t gotta cover brag
Tell me more, tell me more
‘Cause I don’t want to be a drag

He got friendly learning to cook
Well, she got friendly near the breakfast nook
He was sexy, funny and smart
Well, she was good, definitely not a tart
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could this be a trend?

It turned colder; that’s where it ends
So he told her he wanted to be more than friends
Then they made their true love vow
Wonder what their doin’ now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But, oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more.

Thanks for joining me and sharing in my THRILL of my cover for Bachelor’s Special.

Just for stopping by I’d like you to enter into my $10 Amazon card giveaway :) Here’s the link…

So…I read this book

30 Apr

Happy Tuesday!

Like so many others, I’m trying to balance many things in my life. I’ve found over the last few years, especially since I’ve started to write, that I’ve allowed certain indulgences of mine to fall to the side. My “me” time is even more limited :) I’m not complaining at all, but I’ve decided it’s time for me to at least enjoy my love of reading again. Even if it takes me a week to read a book instead of a day or a few hours like it used to, I’m going to go for it. lol

So, every once in awhile, if I read a book that I particularly enjoyed I’m going to post my review and the book information so if any of my blog readers are interested they can check it out too.

Today, I’d like to share THE PRACTICE PROPOSAL by Tracy March.

MY REVIEW:

The Practice Proposal is truly a well written story. This was the first book I’d read from the Bliss line which is an imprint from Entangled Publishing. I wasn’t sure about reading a story with closed door love scenes. I wondered if there would be enough tension and physical awareness between the characters to make their romance believable and exciting—well, let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed in the least.

This is a sweet, sensual read. The characters are so well developed that I instantly bonded with both Cole and Liza. I enjoyed Cole’s character. His humor, his touching history, and the person he’d become from all he’d gone through in his past. His internals were so well done that I really got to know what made him tick. Liza is an amazing heroine to match Cole. She is strong, humorous, and secure. Definitely someone you’d want to name as your friend. Together, they had amazing chemistry. And even though I admit to crushing a bit on “Crush”—Cole’s nickname—I rooted for him and Liza to achieve their HEA.

Tracy March wove an interesting story with beautiful dialogue. Her descriptive writing style flowed smoothly and put me in each scene—and there were some amazing scenes. Kudos to the first date scene by the lake—kept me smiling, the scene at the cemetery—had me tearing up, and of course the baseball games—for someone like me who isn’t athletic-minded, I can tell you I had no problem following along.

I also wanted to mention that there were some wonderful secondary characters. I really liked Liza’s parents and her best friend Paige. Each scene they were in made me smile.

This story was natural and an easy, enjoyable read. I highly recommend it :)

Interested in this book?….here’s a short blurb, the cover and buy links :) ENJOY!!!!

The Practice Proposal

a Suddenly Smitten series by Tracy March

Practice makes perfect, but can a fake romance lead to real love?

Liza Sutherland isn’t looking for love. Not from a charity-auction date she didn’t even bid on and especially not with Nationals first baseman Cole Collins, the guy she obsessed over as an awkward teenager. She won’t get involved with a notorious player, no matter how attractive Cole is.

Cole Collins is up for contract renegotiation, but after too many late-night parties, he’ll need some positive publicity before he can make the roster. His agent, Frank, pitches Liza as the perfect prop…only Cole didn’t account for Liza no longer being just a teenager with a crush. She’s gorgeous and smart and he’s instantly hooked.

When Frank makes Liza a deal she can’t refuse—a bet she will fall in love with Cole or a cool half mil goes to charity—the game is on. But neither bet on the real feelings that surface. Could a fake fling turn into an official forever?

What to Read Wednesday

26 Dec

Welcome to WHAT TO READ WEDNESDAY! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! This is the last Wednesday of 2012 and today I have a fun guest visiting. Please help me in welcoming ROBIN Robin Covington Headshot 2COVINGTON, who is one of my sister authors at Entangled Publishing.

Robin is letting me interview her and also sharing her novella SECRET SANTA BABY which released this month with the Flirt line.

So let’s get started!

I’m thrilled to have you join me today Robin. What five words best describe you?

Eclectic. Tenacious. Alive. Sexy. Loyal.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

Chicken and dumplins.  I’m from the South and this is what my Granny used to fix for me when I came home to visit.

I’m not from the South, but I love Chicken and dumplings too! Do you prefer to read with an e-reader or to read “real” books?

I don’t really have a preference but I use my e-reader more often than not.  Unless I built a house the size of the New York Public Library, I’d never have enough room for all the books I love.  As it is, I get my “keeper’ books in paper even if I have them digitally.

I do the same thing :) What genre (s) do you write?

I write very sexy contemporary romance. I will venture into the paranormal next year.

Oohh, that’s exciting to branch out into another genre! Congrats. Why did you choose contemporary romance?

I love writing books where I can create a happily ever after in the modern day. With so many relationships not working out, I want to write about ones that do because I do believe in love.

secret santa babyShare the blurb from SECRET SANTA BABY. (and I love that smexy cover)

Tessa Stoneman hasn’t been able to get long-time friend and business partner Nicholas Boone out of her head since they shared a single kiss in college. Even when she dated Nicholas’s best friend. Now that she’s giving up her position at GameNerdz to strike out on her own—and now that she’s single—maybe it’s the right time to see if there’s still something between them.

Nicholas knows once Tessa leaves the company she helped found, they might drift apart. Before she starts her own company in the new year, he wants to woo the woman he fell in love with during college. So he poses as her Secret Santa, gifts her with items from the song “Santa Baby,” and plans a big reveal at the company holiday party. But when his best friend wants to rekindle his romance with Tessa, will Nicholas lose his last chance?

That’s one intriguing blurb! Let’s play LUCKY SEVEN…choose 7 words that describe your book.

Romantic. Sexy. Fun. Clever. Indulgent. Secret Santa-bulous!

Describe your hero through your heroine’s eyes…and yes, you can quote her.

Here’s the moment Tessa sees Nick for the first time in the book:

Even though he’d been in the United States for almost eight years, his demeanor still screamed “I’m sexy and British,” and when he spoke it was like a sucker punch to her libido. She wanted to hear him whisper dirty things in her ear with that accent. Colin Firth, eat your heart out.

With a slow grin, he pushed his glasses up on his nose and eased his hands into the pockets of his well-worn jeans. The sleeves of his button-up shirt were rolled up, revealing the lean, muscled forearms dusted with the dark blonde hair that was also in unruly waves on his head. Tessa loved it when it fell into his eyes. He needed a haircut and she bit back the reminder just perched on the edge of her tongue. Instead, she let her eyes travel down his long, lean form and back up again. Damn, he even made a sweater vest look good.

Share the first sentence from your book.

First:  “So, how was it visiting with the newlyweds?”

Now the last :)

Last: “Merry Christmas, Santa…baby.”

 Did you have to do a lot of research for this book and if so how did you go about it?

Really none at all.  All my working life, my office has had a “Secret Santa” game and when I heard the song, “Santa Baby”, for the millionth time, the story just came to me.  I sat down to write it and it flew onto the page.

What’s the best advice you were given on your road to publication?

Never wait for your muse to show up. Write everyday whether you are in the mood or not.  If you want to be treated like a professional, then show up for the job everyday and work.

Did anything surprise you about the publishing process?

How much I enjoyed the editing process. Yes – it sucked and it was hard – but I learned so much. It taught me more than any workshop.

I so agree with you there! Would you give us a sneak peek into what your current WIP is?

I’d love to!  I am working on a submission for the Brazen line (the super sexy one) at Entangled Publishing and it features a very sexy, Alpha, witty action movie star hero and a sensual, smart romance novelist heroine with writer’s block.  They get up to absolutely no good together!

Sounds like it’ll be fun! And finally, where can we find you and your book(s)?
