Book Blurb:

The boys are back in town…

Ten years ago, Kaelin Daume spent a steamy summer home from college secretly hanging out with town bad boy Tyler Wirth and his best friend Nick Kernsted. The connection was warm, complicated, and came to a crashing end when she walked in on her two forbidden friends with another woman. The shocking scene of sex and bondage has haunted her boring, oh-so-vanilla life ever since.

Interview: Author Cari Quinn + Giveaway!

Cari Quinn

Please join us in welcoming Cari Quinn to BLI today! Cari wrote her first story—a bible parable in 2nd grade, much to the delight of the nuns at her Catholic school. Once she saw the warm reception that first tale garnered, she was hooked. She attempted her first romance in junior high, long before she’d ever read one. Writing what she knew always took a backseat to what she wanted to know, and that still holds true today.

Cari is here to celebrate the publication of her latest contemporary romance No Dress Required released on Christmas Day and is part of Entangled Publishing’s new Flirts and Ever After lines!

Lea: Cari! Welcome to BLI, thank you so much for joining us today! Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Book Blurb:

It’s the quiet ones that take you by surprise.

Beth Danube’s emotionally abusive husband is dead and buried. So is her heart. It’s no big deal, she has all she wants: her three little boys and a fresh start in a small Alberta town. What she doesn’t want is another man in her life—not now, maybe not ever.

After ten years of unsatisfactory, missionary-position sex, she never expected her libido to reawaken. One look at sex-in-boots Daniel Coleman in a Calgary bar, though, blows the dust off her sexuality.

Sensing an edge of desperation, even fear, beneath …

Q&A with Robyn Carr + Giveaway

Robyn Carr

Please join us in giving a warm BLI welcome to #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Robyn Carr! Robyn is known for her wildly popular Virgin River Series and Hidden Summit, the 17th novel in the series hit the stands on December 27, 2011!

After more than 20 years penning screenplays, historical romances and even a psychological thriller, Robyn found her genre — some would say her calling — writing a particular kind of women’s fiction. Virgin River is a small town (pop. 600) of retired marines and the independent women they love and against a backdrop of northern California redwoods, the series is inspiration for those who, like Robyn, believe in the power of healthy, positive relationships.

Robyn is taking time out of her busy schedule to share a few Questions and Answers with us today & a giveaway opportunity follows the post!
