INTERVIEW + EXCERPT: Getting Hot with the Scot

INTERVIEW + EXCERPT: Getting Hot with the ScotGetting Hot with the Scot by Melonie Johnson
Series: Soemtime in Love #1
April 30, 2019
Amazon | B&N | BAM

The first in a new series, a journalist focused on her career and a sexy Scottish comedian turn a one night stand into forever.

Cassie Crow leaves for vacation with two goals: fill up her empty charm bracelet and have a one night stand. For once, she wants to have fun instead of obsessively checking her work email. And kissing a man in a castle who’s dressed as a Scottish Highlander is the perfect solution.

Except when that man turns out to be Logan Reid, the host of a popular sketch show—and Cassie has just been roped into his latest prank. She wants nothing to do with his antics, but that was a really great kiss, and one night together couldn’t hurt.

It’s clear that one night isn’t enough and when Logan’s show brings him closer to Cassie, they decide to give dating a try. Can the woman who’s focused solely on her career and the man who refuses to take life seriously make it work?

INTERVIEW


First off, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

The first thing most people notice about me is my hair. Imagine Merida from Brave and that’s about right. And the qualities often associated with a mane of fiery red curls…well, that’s not too far off the mark. I was a double-major in college, with a degree in both English and Theatre, and am that odd combination of a writer who is also an extrovert.

Can you tell us something that not a lot of people know about you?

I graduated high school early and started college at sixteen. I’ve always tended to be in a hurry to start the next thing. Of course, now that I have a daughter who will be turning sixteen very soon, I want everything to slow down. Haha.

Where did the idea for Sometimes in Love come from?

When the “Sometimes girls” (as I refer to them in my mind) showed up in my head for the first time, they showed up all together, laughing and teasing each other—pretty much exactly like they do in the book. From the moment I met them, I knew each of these girls had a story to tell. A journey to their happily ever after. And I couldn’t wait to dive in and write those stories.

Can you give us a little insight to the characters in Getting Hot with the Scot?

Cassie and Logan, the heroine and hero, are quite different from each other. Cassie believes it is better to ask permission while Logan prefers to beg forgiveness. Cassie is organized. Controlled. Logan, on the other hand, is a jokester who refuses to take life seriously (though granted, he has his reasons). And yet they both share a drive—a hunger to do more, to be more. What I loved seeing happen as I wrote their story was discovering how their differences rubbed up against each other. Working through the ups and downs in their relationship brought out hidden qualities in both Logan and Cassie. They balanced each other out.

When you create your characters do you ever put bits of either your personality or bits of personalities from people close to you?

Oh, my goodness, yes. Bits certainly sneak in. Of myself, my kids…my husband. The hero of a yet to be written Sometimes book definitely has bits of my husband. To the point that I’ve stated a collection of things he says (with his knowledge and permission, of course). Occasionally, he will make a comment that is just so perfectly in line with how this hero thinks that I know I have to save it for future use.

Tell us a little about your writing process. Any pre-writing rituals or routines?

Author and speaker Allie Pleiter uses the phrases “big chunk” and “little chunk” to describe different kinds of writers. I’m a big chunk writer. I do my best work when I can block off large amounts of time and write big “chunks” of words all at once. Unfortunately, this means there will be entire weekends when my family doesn’t see me, and I don’t sleep. I’m working on getting better at writing in shorter sessions more often. While writing the third book in the Sometimes in Love series, Once Upon a Bad Boy, I started using the Pomodoro Technique, and that helped, but it’s still a process. (Translation: I still did the bulk of the writing over several long weekends and all-nighters).

What are some good books you’ve read lately?

I’ve finally had a chance to dive in to Alyssa Cole’s A Princess in Theory and am looking forward to reading all the books in her Reluctant Royals series. I also listen to lots of audiobooks since that allows me more “reading” time (like while I’m walking the dog or doing laundry). Currently I’m listening to At the Stroke of Midnight by Tara Sivec. Queued up next is The Duke I Tempted by my Golden Heart sister, Scarlett Peckham.

If you could collaborate with another author in writing a book, who would it be?

I’m a member of the Rebelles (Golden Heart© class of 2017), and in our group chat, we often come up with some delightful ideas for anthologies that are part pie in the sky and part oh I hope we can make this work one day. With luck, we’ll eventually make one of those ideas happen. In terms of collaborating with another author to straight-up develop a book or a series together, working with Karen Marie Moning on a paranormal series would be like finding the end of the rainbow.

THANK YOU, MELONIE JOHNSON!

 

EXCERPT


Would you look at that? The man is wearing a kilt.

Note to self: Cassie Crow—be careful what you wish for.

The man groaned again and raised a hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight now cutting across the hidden al- cove.

“Are you all right?”

“I will be fine once ye douse that blasted light.” He squinted up at her. “Be ye a new chambermaid?”

Chambermaid? She eyed the wide sleeves and open neck of the old-fashioned piratey shirt he wore. “Not sure what kind of weird-ass stuff you’re into buddy, but I don’t do RPG.”

“Weird . . . ass?” His dark red brows drew together as he shaped his mouth around the letters. “Are pee gee?”

“Role playing games. You know, like cosplay or what- ever.” She pointed at him. “Look, you’re the one wearing that get-up and talking like a reject from Macbeth.”

He narrowed his eyes at her finger. “Be ye a witch?” “What did you call me?”

With another groan, he lurched forward. Oh God, what if he was hurt? For all she knew he was a member of some historic castle tour who got lost in a back passageway and hit his head. She leaned down to inspect him for bruises.

He threw a hand out, palm up, warding her off. “Back away, sorceress,” he hissed.

“Seriously?” She slapped his hand out of the way. “Here, let me help you out of there.” Cassie tugged gently on his shoulder. The voluminous shirt was loose, but she could feel—and appreciate—the thick spread of muscle beneath the soft fabric.

Just my luck, I finally run into a hot Highlander, and he’s delusional.

The man waved off her assistance and struggled to his feet, shaking a wild tousle of thick, red hair out of his eyes. Cassie never fancied herself to be a ginger girl, but it worked on him . . . or maybe that was the kilt talking. She eyed the swath of plaid fabric wrapped around his hips and wondered, like any female in her position would, what might or might not be under there. Reluctantly, she raised her gaze and caught him scrutinizing her in return.

“What be these strange breeks ye wear?” he asked, moving in a circle around her.

Cassie swore she could feel the weight of each of his eyeballs resting on her denim-clad backside. Fair enough. After a prolonged moment, she glanced over her shoulder. “Get a good look?”

“Aye.” He swallowed. “’Tis most unseemly, lass.” He shook his head, gaze still glued to her ass.

“They’re called jeans.” She pivoted to face him. “Are you for real?”

He met her gaze, his answer falling from his lips in a deep, rich brogue with trilling r’s that curled her toes, “Aye, lass, I’m real.”

Cassie’s heart hiccupped. Of course he’s real. Unless those shots were stronger than I thought. “Were you at the whisky tasting?”

“Whisky?” His green-gold eyes lit with interest. “Do ye have whisky for me, then? I could use a wee dram. Be a good lass and fetch it for me.”

“Ha! I think you’ve had enough, mister. Is that how you ended up stuck in there?” Even as she said this, Cassie doubted it. She didn’t smell a hint of alcohol on him, though she did pick up other pleasant smells. Mint and clove and man and . . . Stop being ridiculous.

His broad shoulders lifted and dropped. “I dinna ken.” “How long were you in there?”

Another shrug.

Cassie dragged her attention away from the wide curve of his shoulders and leaned past him, inspecting the dark, narrow space behind the bookshelf.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, panic edg- ing his voice. “Nay, lass. Doona be going in there.”

“Why not?” She inched forward and tried to get a bet- ter look.

“It canna be safe.” He tugged on her wrist again, his fingers warm and firm.

Tiny butterflies danced along the path where his skin touched hers. She brushed away the tingling sensation and slipped out of his grip, careful not to snag her bracelet. “Well, you were in there, and you appear to have man- aged.”

“Are ye daft, wench? I was trapped!”

She sniffed, not sure she liked being referred to as a wench, and frowned up at him. “What’s the last thing you remember?”

He closed his eyes and slumped against the shelf. “I canna recall anything afore the moment I woke to find my-self crammed within yonder wall.” He blinked and fo- cused intently on her. “The moment I found you, lass.”

Cassie decided she liked being called lass much better than wench, especially when he was looking at her like that. Gazes locked, her other senses sharpened, heighten- ing her awareness of his body and its proximity to hers. She cleared her throat. “Hm. I think it’d be more accurate to say I’m the one who found you.” Telling herself she was only searching for injuries, she reached up and tentatively skimmed her palms along his temples, her fingers trailing his scalp.

“Looking for devil’s horns?” The man cocked one wicked brow at her as he raised his arms to mirror her movements, running his hands over her head and shoul- ders before brushing his palms down her back. “Ye’ve naught got any fairy wings, so I’d say we’re even. In fact,” he whispered against her hair, standing so close the low burr of his voice became a purr in her own chest, “ye feel perfect to me.”

Like the migrating monarchs her dad studied, the but- terflies made a return trip, enveloping her in a fluttery haze. She shivered. Whether it was the Scot or the scotch or both, Cassie didn’t care. He was here and she was here, and damn it all, it was about time she skipped to the good stuff. With a forceful mental click, Cassie turned off her brain, tilted her chin up, and caught his mouth with hers.

He made a low sound in the back of his throat, of pro- test or surprise, she wasn’t sure. But then his hands settled at her waist, and he returned the kiss. His mouth was somehow soft and hard at the same time, and when he slipped his tongue between her lips, she felt more light- headed than if she’d downed every shot of whisky that had been on that tasting list.

Cassie rolled her tongue against his, savoring the deli- cious contact. He met her thrust for thrust, deepening the kiss until she was swept away on a tidal wave of desire. This. This is what I’ve been waiting for. She clung to him, hands gripping his shoulders, swimming in sensa- tion, drowning in it.

Pro hockey player Archer Holt is taking his charm and swagger from the ice to the...sand? One of sixteen players competing to be the last man standing on a new reality show, he’s all in until he finds out the meaning behind the show’s title—Exiled.

Archer
Before I was a pro hockey player, I was an Eagle Scout. I can tie knots, build shelters and fish like nobody’s business, making me the perfect choice to represent my team on a reality show set on a primitive tropical island. I can endure scorching heat, tough competitions and torrential rainfall—no problem. But when I find out who my partner is, I’m not so sure I’ll survive being stranded on an island with her.

Lauren
Archer Holt broke my heart eight years ago. Now he’s rich and famous, and I’m a high school English teacher in our hometown. When I’m offered the chance to compete for half a million dollars by outlasting fifteen other teams on an island with my selfish jerk of an ex, I jump at it, because that money can change not just my life, but my family’s. Besides, I’m long over Archer.
Or so I thought.

Okay, people, it’s happening! This is not a drill!!!

This emotionally gripping single dad/single mom romance is going to blow your mind. Get ready for a wild ride of twists and turns!!!
Link in Profile…

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

🔥🔥COVER REVEAL🔥🔥

THE COMIC CON by @deelagasse is coming May 4!

#PreOrderHere

https://books2read.com/u/bxQejP

Here’s what you can expect from The Comic Con:

❗A sassy plus size comic book creator
❗A hot AF Hollywood heartthrob
❗All the laughs and just as many feels
❗To feel empowered and worthy (because you are!)
❗Birdie Yamamoto has lived in a fantasy world for as long as she can remember.

When she was a young child, she buried herself in comic books. As a teenager, she created stories of her own. Now she has her dream job, as a series writer for Suffra-Jette -- her very own comic.

Atticus Cohen has perfected the art of pretending to be someone he’s not.

The rising Hollywood actor lands the role of a lifetime – a lead in the latest big budget superhero movie: Suffra-Jette. The rigorous workouts, grueling schedule, and relentless press are all things he expects when he takes the job.

What he doesn’t expect is comic creator, Birdie Yamamoto, to have an opinion about everything he says or does.

When word spreads about the trouble on set, fans of the beloved comic begin to worry about the outcome of the movie.

Birdie and Atticus may not always be on the same page, but they both want the movie to succeed. So when Birdie’s best friend suggests they pretend to date to save the movie, they agree.

After all, it’s just a publicity stunt to spin the bad press.

…Until it isn’t anymore.

𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙍𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝❓

Calling all lovers of steamy romance, fans of Vampire Diaries and Twilight! One of my favorites @kendallryan1 has dropped a new release on the Radish app TODAY! 

Living as a reclusive billionaire bachelor for the past century or so has had its perks, but my existence is now the very definition of boredom. 

I need something different. Something new. Fresh meat, my brother Alastair encourages. 

Seeking to make some changes in my life, I hire a sweetly innocent, and decidedly human, young assistant named Tressa Porter. 

She moves into my mansion but instead of curating my library, she begins tearing down my carefully constructed walls. 

At first it's the little things—the way she nibbles on lower lip and scrunches her nose when she's deep in thought, her optimism, her maddeningly delicious scent ... And soon my needs can no longer be denied. 

I've never needed anything like I need to taste her. Though strangely, seeing her smile has become a close second. 

The dark place in my soul yearns for more but I have a life or death decision to make—deny my instincts and send her away, or satisfy my cravings and hope I don't destroy the thing I hold most precious. 

You can find Radish Fiction by searching on the App Store and Google Play. Once you’ve got Radish downloaded, type Kendall Ryan into the search bar!

Once Upon A Bet by @bloompenelope is officially live and available on Amazon!

You can get it here --> https://amzn.to/3I2nJZn

All I ever wanted was the perfect happily ever after.
All he ever wanted was to ruin my freaking life.
Okay, that’s a smidge dramatic, but hear me out.
My new neighbor might as well plant an “unavailable” sign in his front yard.
He’s got biceps made for pulling swooning maidens out of danger, eyes built for melting glaciers (and panties), and a smile that makes my knees want to buckle.
But he’s grumpy, stubborn, divorced with two kids, and he’s only in town for three months.
It’s pretty obvious I need to stay far, far away.
But then he kisses me.
First, I see stars. Then I see babies with steely blue eyes and chiseled jawlines.
I see white-picket fences and just maybe that happily ever after I always dreamed of.
He says the best he can do is three months of casual fun.
No feelings. No attachments. Then he’ll move on, and so should I.
Remember the part about him ruining my life? Yeah, I didn’t even get to it yet.
That all started with a bet.

Ava
 
He calls me Elsa.
Ironic given he’s the one who can deliver a frosty reception.
 
Yet between the hot physique, smoldering sex appeal, and his warm, sweet smile,
this ice queen is melting for him a little more each day.
 
I pray he’s not like the rest, giving me the cold shoulder once the challenge is met.
Because I’m ready for the fairy tale.
 
Mick
 
When you’re benched from your professional baseball career, you learn how cold the world is. I’d lost my dream job and my girl. Never again.
 
Until this Nordic beauty slowly chips away at my resolve. There’s no stopping it. I’m falling hard for this elusive princess.
 
But can I trust this fantasy girl could be my forever and not another nightmare?
 
Because Ava deserves a happily ever after, and I’m just the man for the job.

Ironic given he’s the one who can deliver a frosty reception. Yet between the hot physique, smoldering sex appeal, and his warm, sweet smile, this ice queen is melting for him a little more each day.

From New York Time’s bestselling author of the Neighbor from Hell series comes a heartwarming romantic comedy about the only thing that matters when you’re about to lose everything that you’ve ever wanted. 

The one person that you can’t live without.

She should probably mention that she had no idea what she was doing, but since that would probably result in her new boss, Devyn MacGregor, CEO of Carta Hotels and the incredibly handsome man that didn’t look like he knew how to smile, firing her, Andi Dawson decided that it would be in her best interest to keep that fact to herself. After years of doing a job that had slowly destroyed her will to live, she needed a change, something different, something that gave her a clue about what she was supposed to do with her life, but more importantly, she needed to figure out how she was supposed to keep a secret that could destroy the only thing that mattered to her.

Just. One. More. Time.

Devyn was so close to having everything that he’d ever wanted when everything suddenly went to hell. He should have seen this coming, should have stayed focused, and he really should stop thinking about the small woman that he should probably fire. He had four months to fix this and he had no idea how he was going to do it, but he knew that he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
