Top Five Reasons Why You Should Buy SWEETER THAN REVENGE
Forgive me, okay?
My fourth romance novel, Sweeter Than Revenge, is now on shelves, and I have to lapse into shameless self-promotion mode for a minute or two. Please bear with me while I toot my own horn and tell you why you should buy this book.
Ready? Here goes:
1. David Hunt, the hero. I don’t know about you, but I just love a hero that’s wounded, flawed, and just a teensy bit arrogant. David is all of those things. He’s also bitter and vengeful because beautiful pampered princess Maria Johnson married some other guy years ago. So now David’s come back to Cincinnati to extract a pound or two of Maria’s sweet flesh, and he’s too clueless to realize how desperately he still loves her. Heh.
2. Maria Johnson, the heroine. Spoiled Maria meets the cold cruel world for the first time in her life when her father forces her to work as David’s underling. The poor thing believes David hates her (little does she know!) and struggles to hide her continued feelings for him.
3. The sexual chemistry and emotion. These two go head-to-head in the workplace and pretend, all the while, that they are, at most, completely indifferent to each other. *SNORT!* From their first scene together, sparks fly and their skin all but bursts into flames when they lock gazes. The big turning point, when David confronts her and demands to know why she married someone else, is one of the most emotional I’ve ever written. And I have to confess that I just love tossing characters into these charged situations and watching them rip each other’s hearts out. Is that wrong? *VBG*
4. Authorzilla. David and Maria are publicists in charge of managing Anastasia Buckingham, the erotic-romance-writing diva who pens her first literary novel and thinks she should win the National Book Award. Anastasia wears purple, has a new outrageous wig for every day of the week, has a *slight* drinking problem, and goes everywhere with her astrologer-stooge, Uri. To say that Anastasia makes David’s and Maria’s lives miserable would be a mild understatement.
5. The sex. It’s pretty hot. I’m just saying.
Okay, that’s it. I’m out of shameless self-promotion mode, so you can relax now. And to apologize for having to do this sort of thing to you, I’d like to give away two copies of Sweeter Than Revenge to commenters at the end of the day. Just tell me which (if any!) of these reasons piques your interest the most.
) 1, because who doesn’t love a hero like that? Also, because (well I guess this applies to all of them) - but because it takes place in Cincy, and I have a lot of friends there. 3, because that confrontation scene sounds so tantalizing and - well, I just want to read it now! 4, because who doesn’t love a drama causing dive (in fiction?)!
Congrats on this release!
