My Guilty Indulgence
When I was asked to write this post for
the feature here, I was asked to talk about my guilty indulgence. As both a
reader and writer, I’m sure you can guess that my number one would be books
whether reading or writing them, I’m absolutely addicted.
I’m sure all of you can relate, so in
light of that, I’ve decided to let you all get to know my ‘Spice It Up’
characters a little better since these next couple days will be dedicated to
the trilogy. I hope you all enjoy the interview.
Jennifer:
Good morning everyone.
Heidi: Hi
Jennifer, it’s a great morning isn’t it?
Zoey: Good
morning.
Nathan: Hey.
Rafe: It would
be even better if you came back in an hour or two. OUCH! What was that for?
Zoey: I’m sorry
he’s normally such a charmer. It was a late night, and Rafe apparently isn’t
fully awake yet.
Rafe: Yeah
sorry, I’m used to a little more beauty sleep.
Lyric: *chuckles* Hello, Jennifer.
*extends hand to shake*
Meagan: *shakes head at Rafe* Hi
Jennifer, it’s a pleasure to see you again.
Jennifer:
Likewise, so would you all care to tell us how it feels to finally have your
happily ever after, after all of this time?
Meagan: Amazing! Lyric has literally
saved me from myself, among other things. First with a job when I needed one,
an amazing friendship when I had none, and then with…*clears throat* Let’s just
say I noticed him instantly, and I haven’t been able to let go ever since.
Lyric: Aw, Meagan, me too. *Lyric
reaches over to pull Meagan closer, and wraps an arm around her.* I love you,
baby.
Meagan: I love you too!
Nathan: Yeah, yeah, we’re all happy for
you, primo. *grins* It’s bliss for the four of us too, and only gets better.
Heidi: It’s better than anything I could
imagine. I’ve been in love with Nathan forever, and I’ve been blessed with not
only him but the love of Rafe and Zoey too.
Rafe: Yep, and if it wasn’t for me
putting the moves on Heidi when I did Nathan may have never wisened up and
married the red-headed beauty. *winks* The three of us were dynamite together,
and then I met my love, Zoey, and we became perfect as a foursome.
Jennifer:
Sounds to me like you’re taking credit for things getting started between the
four of you.
Rafe: Damn, straight. It’s one of the
reasons why everyone loves me so much.
Zoey: *snort* We certainly do love Rafe,
but as you can see one of his many charms is his humor. I actually think it was
Heidi that brought all of us together. She was the glue that held your
threesome together and then chose to introduce us when you needed more. Thank
you, Heidi.
Heidi: *blushes* You’re welcome.
Nathan: *laughs* Hey man, she’s got you
there.
Rafe: *shrugs
and then pulls Zoey closer to him* Love you, baby.
Jennifer:
So Lyric, it must have been a big change for you when Meagan walked into your
bar and was reluctant to give you a shot at first, considering you have women
swoon at your feet on almost a nightly basis while you’re on stage.
Meagan: *laughs* oh yes, the groupies.
It’s actually comical at times to watch. Sorry, ladies, he’s
now spoken for.
Lyric: What do you mean comical? *feigns
a wounded look, and then smiles* It was, I guess, but completely worth the
wait. I love performing, and my music even more, but I’m past the meaningless
trysts of my youth, and wanted to settle down for some time. Meagan made that
happen for me, and there will never be anyone else.
Jennifer:
Do you write your own songs, Lyric? I mean I know the answer to that, but humor
me,
for those readers out there who have yet to read Lyrics and Lust.
Lyric: I do, but I get the odd request
to sing other’s as well, so I’ve done that from time to time.
Meagan: Wait till you hear the one he
wrote for me. *smiles* Read the book people, you won’t be disappointed.
Nathan: Yes, you should read the whole
trilogy in order. Jennifer certainly knows how to spice up the pages. *winks*
Jennifer:
*blushes* I may have written your stories, but it was all of you who knew how
to heat those pages for my readers. We’ve got a sexy threesome, turned foursome
in the first two stories, and then a sexy rock star /knight in shining armor
who rescues the beautiful damsel in distress in the third. Did I leave anything
out?
Rafe: Only the part where the beautiful
author decides to join us in the fourth installment turning the foursome into a
fifthsome…
Lyric: Fifthsome? *laughs* dude, I don’t
think that’s even a word.
Zoey: *shakes head* Come on Rafe quit
putting Jennifer on the spot. She’s as red as a tomato right now.
Rafe: Sorry, Jennifer.
Jennifer:
*giggles* It was certainly a pleasure writing it for you. I’d like to thank you
all for letting me interview you today. I loved telling your stories, and am
really looking forward to when ‘Three Words to Bliss’ the paperback version of
all three stories comes out later this month.
Heidi: Thank you
for having us today.
Nathan: It’s
been a pleasure.
Zoey: We’re
looking forward to it too.
Rafe: Although
next time I’d prefer an afternoon interview, it’s always great to see you
Jennifer.
Meagan: Rafe!
Rafe: What? A
man needs his beauty sleep too. *chuckles*
Lyric: Thank
you, Jennifer. I hope you keep in touch.
Jennifer:
I definitely will. In the meantime, I hope our readers enjoy the blurbs below
and enter for a chance to win Spice It Up, the first in the trilogy.
~SPICE
IT UP~
Heidi Taylor has fallen in love with a
man who’s off limits. He’s her best friend and she’s afraid to tell him how she
really feels, that is until Nathan suggests she needs a little spice in her
love life, and designates himself as her something spicy.

~FINDING
HIS SOMETHING SPICY (Spice It Up 2)~
Rafe Zakas had no intention of settling
down until he met and fell hard for his two closest friends, Nathan and Heidi.
But, their perfect trio fell apart when Nathan got a job offer he couldn’t
refuse, relocating them. Rafe soon realizes there’s something missing in his
life, and decides he needs to find his own something spicy to fill the void.
She’s got to be open minded and love him for him, kinkiness included, and he
hopes to soon turn their trio into a quartet with Heidi’s help.
Zoey Appleby was content with being
single, until her good friend Heidi sets her up with this gorgeous Greek Adonis
named Rafe. He awakens desires in her she never knew were there, and introduces
her to a whole new lifestyle. Shy at first Zoey has some choices to make, will
it be a new love, or the life she’s used to?

and Lust (Spice It Up 3)~
Meagan
Morales hits a rough patch in life, and in love. Moving to a new city with the
help of her cousin, she feels like the fifth wheel once Nathan welcomes her
into his home. You see, Nathan not only has a newly-wed wife but two lovers who
live there with them, making Meagan worry that she’s intruding.
She
gains new friends, employment, and surprises herself when she opens up to the
very sexy, Mr. Lyric Cooper, but danger lurks in the shadows and she may need
to risk her heart again to survive it.
Lyric
Cooper lives for music. He’s got a successful business, his own band, and a
regular audience. Lucky in life, but unlucky in love, Meagan suddenly walks
into his bar and he knows she’s something special. Now if he can only convince
her to think the same about himself...

Loved all the stories in the series! Wishing you many sales on the Trilogy :)
ReplyDeleteI love how all three stories intertwine the original three characters. I would absolutely love to read this series & meet new friends. Leann leamei1981@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLove these type of interviews! I am actually in the process of reading Spice It Up (so no need to enter me), but I did want to stop by and show some support :)
ReplyDeleteEva
Brilliant interview, Jennifer! I am intrigued by the characters and will definitely be reading their stories. Oh, and I have always loved the name Rafe for a hero.

I like reading books in a series with the same characters because once you meet them in the first book, you get to know them better as the books go on. Their actions, motives and general make-up only gets better.
ReplyDeleteI like character interviews. Have been toying with doing one. Cindy B : synlab1@yahoo.com
