Today it is my pleasure to Welcome author Kelly Elliott to HJ!
Spotlight&Giveaway

Hi Kelly and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, Entice Me!

 

To start off, can you please tell us a little bit about this book? 

Entice Me is a book really about second chances. Finding love when you were not even looking for it.
 

Please share your favorite lines or quote(s) from this book:

“I want to tell him the truth. I really do. If he finds out I’m an heiress to a billion-dollar fortune he’ll walk away. I don’t think I could live in this life without him.”

 

What inspired this book?

I had been wanting to write a book where the girl was the one with the fortune and the male character worked a normal job trying to do the best he could. When I started the Austin Singles series and knew I had to write Nash’s story, I knew he was the one for this book.

 

How did you ‘get to know’ your main characters? Did they ever surprise you?

I usually take a day to just go over each character before I start writing them. Picture them in my mind, then start writing little traits. I don’t always use those initial notes, but they help to become closer to the characters.

 

What was your favorite scene to write?

Oh, this is hard. I loved writing this book, but the snowstorm scenes will always be at the top of the list.

 

What was the most difficult scene to write?

I really didn’t have any scenes in this book that were hard to write. The story really flowed from beginning to end.

 

Would you say this book showcases your writing style or is it a departure for you?

It is pretty spot on for my writing style. I am writing a book called Saved by Grace that will be a bit of a departure, but nothing to crazy!

 

What do you want people to take away from reading this book?

Right now I am writing Love at First Sight, which releases in August. My next release after Entice Me is a stand alone sports/romance novel called Play Me. Then Adore Me (final book in the Austin Singles series) is due out June 27.

 

What are you currently working on? What other releases do you have planned?

Right now I am writing Love at First Sight, which releases in August. My next release after Entice Me is a stand alone sports/romance novel called Play Me. Then Adore Me (final book in the Austin Singles series) is due out June 27.
 

Thanks for blogging at HJ!

Excerpt from Entice Me:

Not looking at where I was going, I ran right into someone. My phone dropped and I bent down to pick it up, only to see two phones on the floor. I picked them both up.
“Damn, I’m sorry about that!” I shouted over the loud music. The
band Tucker hired had started playing right at that moment. When I stood
up, I handed the person back their phone.
When the most exquisite hazel eyes captured mine, I froze. Then she
spoke and it felt like the ground had rippled underneath me.
“Oh gosh, thank you. I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going!
I guess that’s why they say no texting and walking.”
She let out the cutest giggle, and I actually felt my stomach drop.
What in the hell? That feeling hasn’t happened in a long time.
When I was finally able to find my voice, I chuckled and said, “Looks
like we would both be fined then. I’m guilty of the same thing.”
Her teeth bit into her lower lip, and I couldn’t help but let my gaze
move down to her mouth. Jesus, this woman was beautiful. Her long
brown hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and she wore a T-shirt
that said No cheesy pick-up lines . . . I’m taken.
Pointing to her shirt, I asked, “Boyfriend buy you that?”
For a second, she didn’t move. Her gaze was locked on mine until
finally she replied.
“What? No! No . . . I, um . . . I don’t have a boyfriend . . . um . . . it
was a bet. I lost.”
Lifting my brow, I asked, “Why would you bet to not wear this T-shirt?
Seems like it would keep the creeps away.”
Her mouth turned up into the cutest, crooked grin. Then she held
up her finger in a wait for it moment and turned around.
The back read, Just kidding. Tell me your best pick-up line. I’m horny as
fuck.

Book Info:

Since the moment Kaelynn Dotson walked into my world, I haven’t
been able to think, eat, or sleep. After having my heart broken by
the only woman I’ve ever loved, Kaelynn has ignited something deep
down inside me—a flame so hot that I cannot ignore, no matter how
hard I try.

I vowed to never open myself up to a woman again, but there’s
something about Kaelynn that is drawing me to her.

There’s just one problem.

She’s hiding something from me. Trust is something I need, but
when it comes to Kaelynn, all the lines seem to be blurred. I know I
should take this as a warning and walk away, but for some reason, it’s
only enticing me more.

~~~
I’m living a lie.

I’m not the girl from a middle-class family in Utah like Nash thinks. I’m
the heiress to a billion-dollar fortune, and that’s not what he’s looking for. He’s
had that before, and it left him scarred.

If the truth comes out, I’ll lose the only man I’ve ever fallen in love
with . . . I’m not sure I’m willing to give him up.

Entice Me is a stand alone novel within the Austin Singles series.

    I would have to say a firefighter because they must know something about first aid and survival skills plus they’re not bad to look at;)

  3. Mary Preston

    I’m thinking anyone who would be willing to brave the cold to chop firewood.

  8. laurieg72

    After almost 42 years of marriage I would definitely choose my best friend, my husband.

  15. Natalija

    Let’s hope that doesn’t happen because I don’t like snow, but if it did I’d prefer for it to be my boyfriend.

  24. Jenny

    I could say any one of my BFF, but I would probably pick my husband. You can’t beat 28 years of experience with one another.

    • Lynne Brigman

      Fantasy Robert Pattinson
      For real it would be my husband. 25 years of marriage he knows me better than anyone and he knows how to do all kinds of things.
