Hi everyone!
Summer may be winding down (can you
believe how fast these last 3 months went?) but there’s still time to catch up
on some great summer romances! To celebrate the unofficial end of the season,
I’m sharing a look at my Amber Quill Press summer love stories.
Quite a few of my Amber Quill Press romances take place in
the summer. Maybe that’s because the weather’s warm and people can go outside
and have fun. Or maybe it’s because the nights are steamy and humid and people
need to get out of their clothes….
We’re starting
things off (appropriately enough) with a look at A Midsummer Night’s Delights. This scorching-hot
Amber Quill Press novella was a November 2008 best-seller and also appears in
my Naughty Nobles anthology, along with A Most Unusual Princess
and The Dark Lord.
Here’s a summary:
AMidsummer Night’s Delights
At
this Midsummer Ball, couples pair up everywhere—but not for dancing!
Young newlyweds Julian and Annabelle are
miserable. Their arranged marriage is lacking everything—especially
sex. Julian suffers from a lack of confidence and is harboring a secret urge.
Annabelle’s longings go unnoticed and unfulfilled,
no matter what she tries. But all that changes when they are invited to a
Midsummer Ball. Their unconventional hosts, Vincent and Sabrina, introduce them
to a world where their most intimate desires and hidden passions are explored—and
fulfilled. Swapping and naughty games are just a few of the surprises awaiting
them…
And what would a summer romance be
without the beach? My Amber Quill Press paranormal, Confessions
of a Vampire’s Lover began with the premise: “What if a vampire went to the
beach and fell in love?”
Here’s a summary:
Confessions of a Vampire’s Lover
The moment Brian spotted Cassie sitting on the moonlit beach, he was hooked. Beautiful, smart, and sexy, Cassie is the girl of his dreams. She didn’t mind that he spent the hot summer days riding the ocean waves, because once the sun set, he belonged to her–all night long!
Everything is perfect between them–until Brian discovers Cassie’s shocking secret. Can Brian give up the sun, sand, and surf to be with the woman he loves?
Read Brian’s first-hand account of their unusual love story in… Confessions of a Vampire’s Lover!
Sometimes throwing two seemingly incompatible characters
together in close quarters during the hot summer months leads to sizzling
romances! This happened in two of my full-length AQP novels, A Perfect Match
and Trust
with Hearts.
Here’s a summary:
A Perfect Match
Falling for the wrestler she had been
assigned to interview wasn’t part of Danni’s plan, until Vinnie Valentine
pinned her heart in a flash.
Disgruntled
with her job as the office gopher for a national sports magazine, Danni Stone
impersonates a reporter to prove herself to her boss. Her assignment? Spend thirty
days on the road with Vinnie Valentine, a sexy professional wrestler.
Life
isn’t going well for the Heavyweight Champ. Vinnie is struggling with a
manipulative boss, prepping for the most important match of his career, and
feuding with his arch-enemy, Thorn. The last thing he needs is a nosy reporter
following him around—even if she is hot.
Thrown
together in close quarters, Danni can’t help falling for Vinnie. Their mutual
attraction grows, and Danni gives in to the lustful feelings she’s repressed
for years. As their relationship deepens, she finds herself drawn into Vinnie’s
world and becomes a key player in his title bout. But before Danni can tell
Vinnie that she isn’t the reporter she claims to be, he discovers her
deception. Her lie threatens to destroy everything between them. Is their
fragile love destined to fail, or are they a perfect match?
Trust with Hearts was my 10th romance with Amber Quill Press, and it was a lot
of fun to write. It's a sultry romance that takes place in West Virginia. The
hero is a sexy, cowboy-like country singer who wears incredibly tight jeans. This novel is available in paperback and various
electronic formats.
Here’s a summary:
After
a bitter breakup, Sherrie Parker seeks refuge at her cousin Dave’s house in
rural West Virginia. Early one morning, she runs into Dave’s other houseguest,
a singer named Curtis Taylor. The last thing Sherrie wants is to share living
quarters with a country music crooner – even if he is sexy, in a cowboy sort of
way.
Thrown together by circumstances, Sherrie
and Curtis get off to a rocky start, but soon discover they have more in common
than they ever imagined. Unable to fight their growing attraction, they give in
to their desires and start a sizzling summer romance.
Everything is perfect between them until
Sherrie discovers that Curtis is keeping secrets from her – and his biggest
secret of all will change everything. Can their newfound love survive, or will
destiny keep them apart forever?
I hope you’ll give these romances a try! Even if summer is nearly
over, these love stories will keep you warm all year! You can read excerpts, reviews, and more on my site: www.KelliWilkins.com or on other blog pages.
Until next time,
