Nov 25, 2014 | Blog, Coffee With, Jennifer Probst, November 2014
First, if we were meeting at a coffee shop I’d be drinking a Latte 🙂 What would you order? I’d order a cafe mocha please. I do adore my chocolate!
I have read your Marriage to a Billionaire series and thought it was great. I know you have a spinoff and I look forward to reading that too! Congrats on your newest novella, Searching for You in the Baby, It’s Cold Outside Collection! Thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to chat!
8 Tantalizing Tidbits
1. A MUST read book and why? The art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
It’s my all time favorite book. I’m a HUGE animal lover and this is written in the
POV of a dog named Enzo. It’s a book I always think about,
absolutely extraordinary.
2. What is one place that I should see if I visit your hometown? Hmm, we’re close to Manhattan here but I’d show you the gorgeous Mohonk Mountain House, with acres of gorgeous land, mountains, and a lake that will take your breath away. We’ll do some hiking, boating, and then feast on a gourmet lunch at the inn!
3. Castles or Beaches? Beaches always.
4. Hard Rock or Classical? Favorite Band? Hard Rock. But I love all genres of music
like books. My fave band is Matchbox 20 and Maroon 5.
5. If you had an all expenses paid trip anywhere in the world for research, where would
you go? Always one place I’d visit over and over. Italy.
6. What are you afraid of? Big fat hairy spiders. Oh, God, just thinking about them
makes me cringe.
7. Tats or no Tats? If tats, how many and why did you choose the first one? Yes! I got
one for my thirtieth birthday to celebrate!
8. What’s your favorite TV show and why? The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Don’t judge me. It’s trashy, dramatic, romantic, and exciting. And the men are hot.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

In Deadly Delivery by Jeanne Adams we are treated to a griping tale of what happens when a food delivery for Thanksgiving goes really, really, wrong. Poor Dierdre Shercroft is helping out her family for the holidays because they’re short staffed, her regular job is in real-estate which helps her maneuver in and out of the buildings in the city. When fate drops her into the building owned by the very man she hooked up with at a work conference she’s not sure if she should scream or knock on his door. Michael Pennington, a real estate tycoon delivered his own delicious surprise when they enjoyed a week of bliss. Finally thinking she may have found that special someone Dierdre was giddy with anticipation of connecting up after the conference. Unfortunately, Michael fed her the standard line that he’d be in touch.
That was that, or was it? Other than a brief text describing some family crisis Dierdre wasn’t sure what to believe. It’s been months and well….there’d been no communication. Radio silent! Now, she’s in his building and doesn’t exactly have a great “vibe!”
As a member of the Shercroft family she helps out her parents for their family business by delivering decadent and anticipated holiday baskets. However, this is one delivery run that she’ll be remembering for a very long time. The last thing one expects is to be staring at a crazy dude and a gun when the receiving party opens up the door. What Deirdre runs into upon delivering the very last basket is anything but ordinary. Guns, drugs, and Michael are all at the same place. After months of silence there’s some explaining that has to be done and this is not exactly how she envisioned this blessed reunion.
If you were face to face with a hot guy from your past that you thought wanted nothing to do with you, what would you do? Dierdre isn’t exactly a saint and has a bit of a checkered past herself. However, when she escaped her ex, she thought that part of her life was behind her. Now, the clock is ticking to get both her and Michael out of this pickle while discovering if there truly is anything between them. This novella screams sexy adventure and will have you wondering until the very last page….WELL??? Yes, dear readers this is a must read and must own.
Once again I need to say that Jeanne Adams is a master at novellas. Ya know those stories that deliver fabulous stories in 100 pages or less. I know you won’t be disappointed and the price can’t be beat. If you’re looking for a quick read this week with the crazies of the holiday shuffle then don’t wait….download now! I received this copy from the author for an honest review and am thrilled she sent it my way. I look forward to many more reads by Jeanne Adams!

Today it’s all for my dear readers that like a bit of spice in their books! I will be adding a new post to my Blog, Spicy Latte. Spicy Latte will give a little heat to your week! Since these reviews are new and the content is Spicy I’ll explain my ratings as well as how I’ll review. I don’t want to offend either my reader or my featured (or soon to be featured) authors.
In general, for all of my reviews I keep them clean and never rate them. However, I’ll have a rating system now just for these posts so that you know just how sensual the book is. I will still review it, but again I’ll keep it clean. There will be just enough details that you’ll hopefully want to read it.
Ok- here’s the SPICE-O-METER
For full on no holds barred and go for it sensuality & situations
NSFW, NSF Public Transportation, proceed with caution – it’s pretty hot
and may offend
Just enough sizzle to make you tingle
For mature audience, 18+
I decided to add this post because everyone can use a little spice in their life every so often. A dear fan and reader of my blog can’t follow or comment due to the nature of their job and they really like erotic romance fiction. This fan and reader also diligently reads my blog and reviews. So dear “follower” this one’s for you!
Now, to select my first book….stay tuned!
