%name A Review, A Spotlight Q & A Tour, A Giveaway and Excerpt!

The Lady Meets Her Match (Midnight Meetings) by Gina Conkle is a mysterious, intense and charming story of wit and determination. All Claire Mayhew wants is to own her own business, and is willing to do just about anything to get it. Despite society’s rules and restrictions, Claire is desperate to make her own way. Can she do that despite not being married?

In order to get what she wants she had a simple task – get in and out of the masked ball, without being discovered. However, when she comes face to face with Cyrus Ryland, the chase is on. Who’s playing who? Sparks ignite with all the mystery and the banter that’s exchanged between them is fantastic. It’s an absolutely fabulous story with chemistry that will melt your heart and a fantastic plot with rich details.

What happens when Cyrus decides he needs to know more? Will it cost him everything? Both have pasts that if discovered, could jeopardize their future. This Cinderella was a belle at the ball until the clock struck midnight, will Claire survive if she’s discovered? What will happen when she discovers what really keeps Cyrus up at night.

A beautiful story of hope, determination and lust. The attraction between the two is super hot and super intense. Secret desires. Secret hobbies. This cat and mouse game of seduction is smart and well played. I wish all men would do the laundry the way Cyrus did 🙂

I received this ARC for a fair and honest review from the publisher and absolutely loved it! I look forward to reading more books by Gina, what a great series! I’m looking forward to your next release.

Today we’re sitting down with historical romance author Gina Conkle! Gina’s latest book, The Lady Meets Her Match, comes out this April. A quick question from Gina Conkle:

Q: What inspired you to become a writer?

A: I read Gone with the Wind in fifth grade and knew I wanted to be a writer, but apparently the writer bug goes further back. At Christmas, my mom dug up my grandmother’s old newsletters (my grandma had been involved in international stamp collecting and the California Historical Society). Grandma wrote that I’d been published in a local San Diego cookbook (a project I’d forgotten). She called me a “budding writer.” I was in kindergarten!

An Excerpt

Cyrus removed his fine blue coat, the slide of cloth on cloth an inviting sound to her benumbed senses.
“You’re not warming up sufficiently.” He leaned in and wrapped his coat over her shoulders, his deep voice like an intimate connection. “Someone needs to take care of you.”
She shuddered when his breath tickled her ear. His warmth and nearness was just as heavenly as what he draped around her. She could tell he found her refusal more amusing than deterring. Cyrus closed the coat in front of her, his body heat palpable inside. The collar’s woven broadcloth brushed her rain-misted cheeks, his pleasant scent on the cloth. The coat was part of an expensive, well-tailored ditto suit: identical blue fabric with spare gold trim on the coat, waistcoat, and breeches.
“I’ll ruin part of a perfectly good suit.” But she pulled the coat tighter, greedy for the snug feel.
He added more coal to the blaze. The inferno’s orange light danced across white cotton stretched over his shoulders. Muscles moved under the fabric, mesmerizing her while he built a hotter fire. And then there was his offer to waive her rent and give her a loan, an offer apparently free of unique requirements. His act of generosity pinched her conscience.
How dare he be so…nice.
“About the rent, the loan, I cannot accept your kind offer.” She cleared her throat, trying to sound competent. “I’ll find a way.”
Ryland glanced at her but said nothing to counter her refusal. Instead, he dropped to the floor, kneeling before her. Without asking her leave, he removed one shoe and then the other, and set the soaked footwear against the hearth’s ash pan.
“What are you doing?” Her words, like her body, went slack, all of her too worn down.
His head bent close to her knee. One hand, large and warm, curled around her ankle, rubbing life back into her foot. A big, masculine palm moved under the arch, creating delightful friction. She pressed her lips together, holding back a moan of pleasure.
“I would think a land steward’s daughter would know wet clothes are hazardous for one’s health.” He flashed a devilish grin. “You ought to remove your wet clothes, cover yourself with something warm and dry.”
Such as covering myself with you.

Author Info:

%name 50 Ways to Kill Your Larry   have you downloaded your e book yet?

USA Today Bestseller Deb Marlowe adores History, England and Men in Boots. Clearly she was destined to write Regency Historical Romance.

A Golden Heart Award winner and Rita nominee, Deb grew up in Pennsylvania with her nose in a book. Luckily, she’d read enough romances to recognize the true modern hero she met at a college Halloween party–even though he wore a tuxedo t-shirt instead of breeches and boots. They married, settled in North Carolina and produced two handsome, intelligent and genuinely amusing boys. Though she spends much of her time with her nose in her laptop, for the sake of her family she does occasionally abandon her inner world for the domestic adventure of laundry, dinner and carpool. Despite her sacrifice, not one of the men in her family is yet willing to don breeches or tall boots. She’s working on it.

Blame It On the Moon by Lori Handeland is a great way to end this wonderful collection. A secret mission, werewolves and Nazi Germany. What will happen to Larry now? A great paranormal story by great author.

Now about that Larry …  🙂

*****

50 Ways to Kill Your Larry. The authors at Red Door Reads know it’s a strange title for an anthology. The story as to how we, the Red Door Reads authors, came up with it is a story in and of itself. So settle in, kids, and learn why Larry needed to die.

A little over a year ago, we planned a trip to the North Carolina coast to enjoy some writing, bonding and plotting world domination. Off season, the rates are cheaper, and yet the weather is usually still pretty nice in North Carolina; win/win. We knew how many beds we’d need. We knew we’d need a house with an elevator because Dee Davis was on crutches. We found a house that met all of our specifications. Claudia Dain did the research and booked it.

Sounds simple, right? Pleasurable, even? Planning a trip to the beach could only and ever be a joy. What could go wrong?  Well, the owner of the property, Larry, has two properties on that particular beach available for rent. And he booked the wrong house for us. No elevator. Not enough beds. Total disaster. Honestly, how can one plot world dominations under those conditions? When Claudia called him as soon as we got there, telling him we had the wrong house (the right house was one door down), he told her that he’d reserved for us the house she had requested. Um…no, he hadn’t. When pressed to make the change to the larger house with the elevator, he said that house was already booked.

The house that was one door down. With no cars parked outside. And no lights on. Liar.

Larry then proceeded to email Claudia every couple of hours detailing all the ways she had screwed up the reservation. Liar!

Is it any wonder that we started, that weekend, to toss out the various ways we’d like to kill Larry? When you piss off a bunch of writers, you should sort of expect vengeance to be brainstormed. And that those brainstormed ideas may develop into an anthology of stories where a character named Larry gets his (or her) comeuppance. It only seemed logical to us, in any case.

Today is April 15—Tax Day in the USA—when emotions are already at fever pitch. Fittingly, 50 Ways to Kill Your Larry is available at all e-book retailers today! You need the release of the tension that April 15 always arouses, don’t you? You know you do. Do yourself a favor and order it now. Then you’ll have something fun to do when you finally get your taxes filed!

An artist, an accusation, a secret crush and a forbidden love make this a must read page turner! Will Larry ruin everything? Will the truth work it’s way out, or blaze a trail of destruction? Oh Larry, really? You won’t know what happens till the very end.

Author Info:

Jane Charles is a USA Today Bestselling author who has lived in the Midwest her entire life. As a child she would more likely be found outside with a baseball than a book in her hand. In fact, Jane hated reading until she was sixteen. Out of boredom on a long road trip she borrowed her older sister’s historical romance and fell in love with reading. She long ago lost count of how many fiction novels she has read over the years and her love for them never died. Along with romance she has a passion for history and the two soon combined when she penned her first historical romance. What turned into a hobby became a passion. In addition to historical romances, she has been pulled to write contemporary and has released two NA novels in her new series, Baxter Academy of Arts. She intends to continue writing both historical and contemporary.

Caren Crane grew up in Nashville, TN, and as a result does not care for country music. However, she cares a great deal about family, friends and men in boots. She blames her love of reading on a childhood devoid of TV and heavy on amusing oneself. Reading books was a lot more fun than playing with Barbies and playing “library” was far superior to playing “school.”

Caren now lives in North Carolina with her tall, handsome husband and a semi-feral and very demanding rescue cat. She fills all her books with family, friends and happy-ever-after endings. Which all books should feature, in her opinion. Connect with Caren on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CarenCraneAuthor or get the latest book news at https://www.CarenCrane.com

Wicked My Love by Susanna Ives

%name Wicked My Love by Susanna Ives

Wicked my Love, by Susanna Ives, is a clever and enchanting story about self discovery, trust, and friendships. Isabella St. Vincent was raised by her father to appreciate the value and importance of numbers, especially when it comes to finances. Those skills are why she’s able to help run her late father’s bank, something her two partners still have difficulty with.

While Isabella’s educated and business savvy, she’s not as experienced and refined in the art of flirting. Most men find her clumsy nature a bit peculiar, especially  conversations of a more “personal” nature. Sometimes her frankness and ability to speak the truth find her in the most precarious circumstances. Will she finally break free of her insecurities and find love?.

One of her business partners, Lord Randall, has aspirations of serving in Parliament in addition to helping out at the bank. However, he also has a family obligation to find a wife. So, when the bank becomes involved in a terrible scheme , everything suddenly seems hopeless. Now both of their dreams are in danger of crumbling. The one man Isabella can’t stand to be near, her childhood friend and business partner Lord Randall, may be the only one who can save her. They’ve both spent their entire lives teasing and torturing each other, can they finally call a truce?

This book is fabulous, witty and has the perfect amount of sizzle. Will Isabella and Lord Randall figure out a way to work together? Will they finally be able to trust each other? One minute I found myself laughing out loud with the banter and the next excited for the possible reconciliation. This story will keep you engaged, excited and absolutely enchanted. A perfect way to spend a weekend afternoon!

This ARC was given to me by the publisher for a fair and honest review and I would happily purchase this for a gift.

Today we are pleased to have Susanna Ives join us for a round of Marry, Kiss or Kill! For this stop, we asked her to choose between Dr. Watson, Sherlock, and Moriarty:

I’ll marry Dr. Watson. If he could put up with Sherlock, I would be a walk in the park as a wife. I don’t do opium, research morbid subjects, or practice with weapons in my home. And Watson really has a way with words. He mesmerizes me with his stories.

I’m killing Sherlock. In fact, I’ve killed him in a previous version of Kiss, Marry, or Kill. He loves this little game of choice and deduction. It’s so revealing of our minds and weaknesses.

I’m kissing Moriarty as a consolation prize. He tried to take out Sherlock, but I succeeded.

Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour – Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence

%name Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour   Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence
Q&A With Authors

What can you tell us about the small town setting of your new romance?

Samantha Chase (author of RETURN TO YOU): The south shore of Long Island had always been my heroine Selena’s home. Born and raised minutes from the beach, she always dreamed that it would be where she’d find love, raise a family and live happily ever after. The small coastal town really hadn’t been part of James Montgomery’s plan for his own life, after meeting Selena, it’s suddenly a very appealing part of his future.

Grace Burrowes (author of KISS ME HELLO): Damson Valley lies in rural Maryland, about an hour away from both Washington, DC, and Baltimore. The Appalachian Mountains give the town a protected, bucolic feel, despite the proximity of big city lights. My hero attorney MacKenzie Knightley loved growing up with his brothers on a farm right outside Damson Valley, and was all too happy to go into practice with both James and Trent. The Knightley farm is now owned by foster mom Sidonie Lindstrom, who has moved away from Baltimore to give her foster son a better start in life. Sid has no patience for small town life, though before too long, the scenery does catch her interest…

Andrea Laurence (author of FEEDING THE FIRE): If you’re willing to turn your car off the highway and venture from the beaten path, you might be lucky enough to run across a town like Rosewood, Alabama. Steeped in southern charm and the traditional values of God, Family and Football (although not always in that order), Rosewood is like a time capsule preserving everything modern cities have lost. Here, you’ll find homemade pies, perfectly brewed sweet tea, and beauty parlors filled with lively gossip. It’s the kind of town where everybody knows everybody – and everybody knows your business whether you like it or not! Thanks for stopping by. Sit a spell and tell us what you know.

Small towns are known for their gossip. What is some hot news going around about your couple?

%name Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour   Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence

Samantha Chase: Ooo…the hot news around James and Selena is that James isn’t who she always thought him to be. He’s from a wealthy family – something she never knew – and the cat’s about to be let out of the bag!

When your hero and his friends go on a ‘boys night out’, where do they go?

%name Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour   Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence

Grace Burrowes: Because Mac’s best friends are his two younger brothers, and because Trent, the middle brother is a single dad to a seven-year-old girl, the guys go to Trent’s house to play poker on a beer and brownies night. (Sometimes, they end up watching a princess movie though, or playing a round of Go Fish instead poker.)

What’s the best part of dating in a small town? The worst?

%name Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour   Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence

Andrea Laurence: The best part of dating in a town like Rosewood is that everyone is a known commodity. Sure, new blood moves into town occasionally, but most people are folks you’ve known your whole life. While that can be intimidating, it’s also nice that everyone is a known quantity. There’s very little chance for a guy you’re dating to have a criminal past or a crazy ex-wife that no one knows about. The worst part of dating in a small town is dealing with the aftermath of a failed relationship. Not only will you have to see the person all the time, you’ll have to see him date other people. You’ll have to listen to everyone’s opinion on what went wrong and even face the gentle encouragement of folks to give it another try with someone you’ve broken up with.

About the Authors

Samantha Chase

%name Small Town, Large Hearts Blog Tour   Must read books from Grace Burrowes, Samantha Chase and Andrea Laurence

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
