Win a Copy of A Final Kiss by Wendy Ely
Buy here: http://amzn.com/B00IUKTKLC
I’m thrilled to have one of my favorite authors on my blog today. Wendy Ely is a contemporary romance author with several published novels. Today she’s visiting to share about her new release, A Final Kiss. Please help me welcome her and check out the giveaway I have for you! Settle in with your coffee or hot chocolate and learn about A Final Kiss.
What inspired you to write your first book?
My first published book is Jesse’s Brother. Before I wrote the book I was dating two men. One night I was out with one of the guys. Guy #2 called me when guy #1 went to the bathroom. They both knew about each other and I told guy #2 I was on a date at the moment. Then I started thinking about what a great story that would be and started writing the book.
And the guys? I ended up being friends with both of them for a while.
Do you have a specific writing style or approach to writing your books?
I’m a pantser. That means that I don’t plot my books in advance. I usually do some character outlines to get to know them and then I start writing. My book is done when the story naturally ends.
How did you come up with the title?
My newest release is A Final Kiss. This novel had a different name until I wrote the last scene. You see, I figure out titles while I’m writing. A word or phrase grabs usually grabs me and that is how I figure out the title. When I wrote the part where Kate’s stalker wants to give her a final kiss, I knew that would be the new name.
Here’s the blurb from A Final Kiss:
Kate Morris is so close to finally having what she wants in life; a supportive group of female friends, a potential new career she’d almost given up on, and a romance on the horizon. No matter how right things go for her, trouble bites at her heart at every turn. Someone is out there always watching her. She can feel it all the way down to her bones.
And he is waiting for his perfect moment to step into her life permanently. He almost had the perfect woman once before, but one thing stepped in his way then. He needs a new woman and Kate fits the bill perfectly. Nothing will come between him and Kate. Once Wade reveals his love to Kate, she’ll love him too. After all, they were meant to be together at all costs… even if it means taking away anyone else who might interfere.
Tony walked out of Kate’s life so many years ago, leaving a wrecked girl in his wake. One trip to the Phoenix airport shoves the all-woman version of Kate back into his life. He wants to get to know her again, but she isn’t playing easy with him this time. If given one more chance to make up for lost time, he would never leave again. Gone on his deployment, he decides to email her anyway. Through the emails she starts slowly warming up… enough to express her concern about a stalker. With the police officer’s lack of help, Tony heads to Phoenix instead of home upon his return to the states. Kate doesn’t trust herself around Tony, so he takes matters into his own hands. Will he be able to watch over Kate without her finding out and resist falling in love with her all over again? Will Tony be able to catch the stalker before Kate is harmed?

Casey’s Gunslinger Release March 7th #western #romance
Buy Links > Amazon | Smashwords
EXCERPT from Casey’s Gunslinger
The young woman acknowledged his presence with the slightest flicker of her cornflower blue eyes before stepping backward. She lost the support of the platform and started clutching at thin air. Since the platform rose several feet off the ground, her apprehension developed quickly. A panicked whimper of alarm erupted from her lush lips, as those lovely eyes grew wide in a plea for help.Reacting on instinct, Charles’ hand shot out, grabbing her arm before hauling her in against his solid body.Their eyes met under the shade of his Stetson. The blue in her gaze quickly shifted to stormy clouds of confusion and fear. A minute passed before she released the breath she’d been holding and shoved at his chest.“Easy, sweet thing. I’ve got you.” Charles had found his tongue. However, he wasn’t sure about the hoarseness in his reply.“Do you mind, sir?” Cool and crisp, the words coming from her lips sounded like music to his ears. Never had a songbird sounded sweeter.It took Charles another minute to understand she’d been able to regain her footing and wanted him to let go. As if waking from a dream, Charles snapped to attention, each fiber in his frame aware of her proximity. “My apologies, ma’am. Are you unharmed?” Mentally shaking himself, he marveled at his stupidity. Unharmed? The only one not harmed was her. He’d been dealt a mortal blow. A smoldering heat radiated up from his toes all the way to the point on his chest where her breasts had slammed against him a few minutes ago. His gut clinched at the crystal clear glint in her eyes. At the moment, he wasn’t high on her list of respectable persons.
“I’d appreciate you unhanding me, sir.”
He still held her wrist. Christ, she’d most likely have a bruise. “Forgive me for startling you. It wasn’t my intention. I hope you’re all right. My name is—”
“I’m fine,” she snapped. Sidestepping him, the young woman tried again to gather herself before heading back to the ticket window.
Dazed and confused. Charles seldom had the particular reaction to anything or anyone. This being the exception. He’d try again. Surely, he could make amends for such a social blunder. Perhaps a meal at the hotel would smooth her ruffled feathers.

Casey’s Gunslinger Releasing Soon!
Parties are fun! Release parties on Facebook are a blast when you can celebrate with the people who read your books! I’m thrilled and looking forward to March 7th and the official release of Casey’s Gunslinger #2 from The Loflin Legacy series. Click on the book cover to be transported to the party!

Those of you who know me and are familiar with my stories, know I enjoy writing western romance. I also like mixing it up a bit and adding a few paranormal elements to my work. Check out The Western Werewolf Legend series if you don’t believe me. The Civil War will never be the same. Lol

Did you know I enjoy steampunk romance as well? That’s one you need to remember for the upcoming release party. (Hint) I also love a good regency romance. I still enjoy a steamy old fashioned bodice ripper as well. Some may need to look up the definition to that one, by the way. *eye wink* Still, my favorite romance is a western and a historical one to boot. You get such dynamic variation in your characters that aren’t available in the contemporary work. This is just my opinion. Where can you ride a horse, rope a steer and shoot somebody for messing with your woman all before sunset? See what I mean? Lots of action, lots of thrills and lots of danger go into a jam packed, bronc busting ride when you read a western romance, or it should.
In Casey’s Gunslinger, Charles Harrison is a reformed hired gun turned attorney-at-law. In 1858 most attorneys were seen as shady and not worthy of trusting. Casey St. Clair rides into Tyler, Texas with a mission. She wants to find her father, the one who abandoned her as a baby because she has a score to settle. She seeks Mr. Harrison’s help.
Charles lays eyes on the lovely blonde and his world shifts. You’ll want to learn the reason behind her hatred for her father and the trouble she gets into because of that deep seeded hatred. You’ll also want to understand why Charles is so taken with the petite young woman fresh off the stage from New Orleans. I hope you enjoy reading Casey’s Gunslinger as much as I’ve enjoyed writing the story. If you haven’t read Comanche Haven #1, please do so, as the storyline overlaps and Casey’s Gunslinger is really a continuation of the tale from two new and very different viewpoints.
Again, thank you for your support and thank you for reading my books. I enjoy talking with each reader and would love to hear from you!
