Behind the Books – An interview with author Kate Stewart

By 7 Comments

<— Drive is one of my latest favorite books ever, and now we get a behind the scenes look into the very book that had us on the edge of our seats, with butterflies in our stomachs, our heart in our throats, and tears in our eyes. And you know what? I absolutely LOVE this author (and have loved her since I read her equally angsty Room 212 – Thank you, Amy!!!!! Oh yes, it’s my book twin that introduced me to this author’s brand of romance).

You guys… she rocks my world, and I just LOVED getting to know this side of her through this interview.
And now you get to, too. 🙂 read more

Behind the Books – A fun Q&A with Calia Read and Monica Murphy!

By 2 Comments

To celebrate the latest release of these two romantic suspense novels (Unhinge: A Novel by Calia Read and Never Tear Us Apart by Monica Murphy), the authors have put together a fun Q&A for us!! They have both released thrillers, and you know me ‘n thrillers. RIGHT. UP. MY. DARK. ALLEY!!! So I can’t wait to see what they have to say.

You guys will remember Calia Read from her last twisty psych-thriller romance, Unravel. That one had a few gotchas that delightfully freaked out a few of my fellow readers, here!! And Monica Murphy is one of our queens of NA, and I remember her awesomeness from all the way back when I went crazy over indie NA romance novels. Remember One Week Girlfriend? That was a HUGE hit!! 😀 read more

Behind The Books – Interview with J.A. Redmerski about her upcoming book, “The Edge of Always”

By 9 Comments

Author J.A. Redmerski

J.A. Redmerski really knows how to tug on our heartstrings, distract us into comfort and then deliver a wallop! I’ve only reacted as intensely (meaning physically – more than just tears) to a very few, and her book “The Edge of Never” was one of them. An absolute standout! And then I found out that she was writing book #2 (The Edge of Always), and I just had to ask her… stuff. 😉

WARNING!!!! If you have not read The Edge of Never, DO NOT READ this interview (*potential spoilers for the first book*). If you enjoy reading my kind of favorites, with the angst, and the super-romance and that awesome “New Adult” feel we’re so crazy about, read her first book, absolutely!!! Skip this interview, read my review (if you’d like) and then after you’ve read #1, come back and read this. read more

Happy Birthday, Travis!

Happy Birthday Travis!!!! I’m so excited that we get to spend some time with him on such a big day, ’cause guess what!? Yep! He’s here right now and we’re going to get to know him just a little bit better today, before REALLY getting to know him, tomorrow with his POV in Walking Disaster. Just you wait. Travis’s POV rocked my world, and I can’t wait to post my gush-fest over how much I loved his book.

In the meantime… a little “Happy Birthday Travis video!!” read more
