Preorder An Acquired Taste Giveaway on IG

I can’t believe An Acquired Taste will be out in exactly 4 weeks from today! In anticipation, I’d like to give away a few items I’ve been super excited about.

Amanda Linsmieir made limited edition candles especially for Rowan and Knox and they’re wonderfully scented with rosemary, tangerine, and vanilla. Knox is a self-proclaimed Pasta King but he approves of Gourmet Texas Pasta made with whole wheat and wholesome ingredients in Rowan’s hometown suburb of Austin (Round Rock). They were kind to donate pasta for this giveaway. If you love amazing pasta, check out their website and place an order. Handmade soaps because wait until you read that tub scene. 😊

For the first 20 people who send me proof of your preorder of An Acquired Taste, I’ll send you a Rowan and Knox card with a yummy recipe on back plus a bookmark with a code for a free short story from me.

Easy to enter. Facebook like this post and share on Twitter (both buttons are at the end of this post below), then enter your name and email address in the form below.

More about Altered

a

A New Adult romance drawing on the author’s own experience studying law, the novel follows Liv, a young woman in her a first semester of law school. When her fiancé abruptly breaks things off, Liv is heart-broken.

Enter Nicholas, a classmate who is so withdrawn that he is an enigma to everyone around him. Nicholas is unusually young and unusually quiet, and keeps his past a tightly guarded secret.

While Liv is still reeling from her break up, Nicholas begins appearing in her life and coming to her rescue. Intrigued and grateful to this quiet young man, Liv becomes determined to unravel the mystery of who Nicholas is.

At first, I saw him as everyone else did.
But then, I saw him for who he really was.
Recognized the beauty beneath the pain.
Loved the quirks disguising the insecurity.
Embraced the man who hid behind the boy.
But there was so much more…
More I didn’t know.

And once I did, I couldn’t let
go…
Of the boy.
The man.
The lover…

…even if his past is threatening
our future.
Nothing will alter what we’ve built.

Blog Hop 2016 HelloWe’re ringing in the New Year with lots of giveaways! And by sharing some fun and wacky facts about ourselves. There’s a new giveaway at each stop so be sure to visit them all!

Fun Facts

  • I LOVE to write food and any story you read from me will have at least one meal in it (see book recipes)
  • My secret (probably not so secret) obsession is all things Outlander (book series and Starz show)
  • The “heros” in my stories always have green eyes
  • I just started writing two years ago – I had no notion of it before then
  • My “freebie five” includes (in order): Sam Heughan, Robert Sheehan, Idris Elba, Robert Pattinson, and Keanu Reeves
  • I was a TwiHard (and proud of it)
  • Robert Sheehan inspired Nicholas (physically) in Altered and Sam Heughan inspired Andrew (all the way around) in Unexpected. One day I may reveal who inspired Rob in Spending the Holidays with RandyRob.
  • I’m currently writing a MS set in the 80s and I’ve worn myself out on the 80s slang already
