My Mr. Manny - Jennifer Garcia - Guest Post and Giveaway

Blurb:
Mia Balducci misses her childhood days and yearns for the big, Italian family that she left behind in small town Massachusetts. At the tender age of sixteen, Mia moves with her bachelor father to Los Angeles, but no matter how many years pass, it never becomes home to her. The years spent living with her father aren’t easy, especially since she can’t stop thinking about what she once had. Her enrollment in the University of Southern California promises to bring exciting changes to her life, but Mia winds up with big problems instead. When she runs into an old friend from her old hometown of Winthrop, she gets swept up in nostalgia, and she soon loses herself in a quickly-progressing romance. When the fantasy falls apart, she is left to raise her precious little girl, Lucia, on her own. The demands of Mia’s work schedule and Lucia’s needs increase, and their lives become increasingly hectic. It is soon clear to Mia that she needs help. Luckily, her life-saving cousin saves the day and brings the mother and daughter a male nanny – their new “manny.”
After losing his high-pressure job on Wall Street, Dominic Roberts wants to follow his dreams to have a family. He’s already one fiancée down, and there are no likely prospects for another. In order to find the family he so desperately wants, he finds himself getting into the manny business. Since he is fully qualified to provide child care and is eager to leave New York City behind, his sister-in-law is able to land him a job in California working for his first client – the beautiful and intriguing Mia Balducci.

Will Lucia like the new man in her mother's life? Will Mia? And will this new trio discover the happily ever after they all so desperately seek?



As part of Jennifer Garcia's blog tour, celebrating the release of her novel, My Mr. Manny, I decided to ask her what she would do with her time if she had her own Manny for a day, here's what she had to say:
Well, considering I am rarely ever alone in my home because of a very dependent/needy child and two dogs bigger than most humans, I’d ask for a day to myself. I could even dream of this right now. See when it is summertime and my son is out of school, he is my shadow. Everywhere I go, he goes, which makes a bit difficult to work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my son, but I never get a break.
My imagination takes me away just like that Calgon commercial from years ago and I picture myself sitting in a peaceful house. Somehow the dogs decide not to bark at every breathing thing that passes our house and the world just swallows up all of the noise. I love peace and quiet. So, a day alone in a silent home with just my muted dogs would be great.  
As soon as the Manny, my husband, reports for duty, I’d ask him to plan a day away with my son and leave me alone. The time alone allows me to reconcile things in my mind. It gives me time to think and plan. I may take that time to write. But in order to write I desperately need the time to think, since I do most of my writing in my mind first. Or maybe I’d take a nap and snuggle with my dog. Or listen to a book, since I wouldn’t have someone standing in front of me with big eyes and hands moving, motioning me to take out my earphones just so they can interrupt the great book and ask me something. Something they could have asked their father. J
Yeah, I’d take the time and just do nothing but bask in the glory of not being pulled in a million directions.
Here's an excerpt from the book:
I rolled over to face Dominic and he began to stir. I watched him breathe and took inventory of his precious face. His lashes were thick and short against his cheek. The stubble on his face had thickened a bit more and his lips stuck out in a pout. I pecked them and his eyes opened.
“Good morning, sleeping beauty,” I said as he stretched and yawned. He scratched at his stubble and rubbed his eyes. He was adorable in the morning.
“Mhmmm, it is a good morning,” he said with a sleep-coated voice. He wrapped and tightened his arms around me and then squeezed. “A very good morning.”
“I need to get up and get ready for work. Lucia will be up in a bit. But ...” I began to say.
“What’s wrong?”
I exhaled a deep breath. “No, nothing’s wrong, but ... well I really want you to move into my room now. Too soon?” I wasn’t afraid he’d say no, but for some reason I felt strange asking him that.
He scoffed. “Did you think I was going to sleep in my room after last night? I had the best night of my life” he said while peppering soft, slow kisses on my face.
“It was my best night, too, baby.” I kissed him one more time and got up. “So, it’s official then. You’re moving in here and we’re a real couple.” I jerked my head in a nod to emphasize my statement.
He rolled on top of me, pinning me down on the bed. “I thought it was a given, Mia. You’re stuck with me forever now. I hope you can handle me.” He laughed.
“Mhmmm, I can handle you all right. I just hope you can handle me.” I kissed his lips.

Tormented - Lorenz Font - Cover Reveal

Tor Burns is a non-infected vampire who has taken refuge in the Tack Enterprises underground facility. Having survived a vicious attack with his fellow vampire Harrow, he now has a new purpose. Vampires afflicted with Gates Syndrome are still being hunted, and Tor is committed to saving them from the clutches of the Vampire Council. With a semi-cure within their grasp, Tor is reluctant to accept his new assignment: bodyguard to Allison Tack, the daughter of their fallen leader. Armed with an abrasive personality and fierce loyalty, Tor approaches this new responsibility with serious determination despite his reservations. 
Vampire Allison Tack is the beautiful and timid co-heir of the Tack fortune. Infected and hunted by the Council, those lucky enough to have known her father are determined to keep her safe.  A walking target wherever she goes, Allison wants to learn how to protect herself, but no one is listening. Sick of being the helpless one in the company of trained fighters around her, Allison vows to prove that she can fight alongside the best of them. Meanwhile, the harem leader, Melissa, is hell-bent on unraveling any clue about her son Demetrius’s fate. He disappeared without a word, and time has made her desperate. Stepping up her efforts, she seeks the help of Demetrius’s son, Zane. With the additional manpower, Melissa finds the lair of the suspected vampires and wages war against them. 
Thrown together by necessity, Tor and Allison can’t continue to deny their attraction to each other. Tor wants to give in to his feelings for her, but old demons resurface. He must confront the past to prevent losing the best thing that ever happened to him. 
A life must be given for a life taken. Will Tor have to sacrifice himself before Allison pays the price?

Blog Tour - A Divine Life - R. E. Hargrave - Interview with the Author

Summary:
Over the past year of being Jayden Masterson’s collared submissive, Catherine O’Chancey has worked through the mental terrors left behind by her old Dom — she thinks. To celebrate their collar-ing anniversary, Jayden organizes a special day, during which her final limits and fantasies will be realized. Will it prove to be more than she can handle? Can she endure the erotic onslaught her mind and body will experience and survive unscathed? While Catherine faces dark shadows and pleasurable highs, Jayden finds his own inner strength being tested. 
He has come to realize that, somewhere along the way, Catherine has taken possession of his heart, mind, and body. Now he faces his biggest challenge ever; he must let go of all his submissives but one: his jewel, Catherine. Can he leave his philandering ways behind? Has he made the ultimate mistake by putting his jewel into the hands of others?
As part of the blog tour for A Divine Life, the second in the To Serve is Divine Trilogy, I decided to interview friend and fellow RenRom author, R. E. Hargrave. Most questions are about reading and writing to try and get an insight to her, but a few are a little silly...
What genre of books do you like to read? Do you limit yourself to only the genre that you write yourself? When I get the chance to read just for me, my guilty pleasure usually involves paranormal; vampires in particular. However, as long as it has some kind of magical/mystical twist, I’ll be happy. Next in line for my reading preference would be my current written genre: erotica. The trouble with that, is finding good books that offer a story with the ‘heat,’ so I tend to stay in the paranormal section when I need an escape read.How have your personal experiences affected your writing? I’d have to say my personal life has played a huge part in my writing. I’m a firm believer of drawing from those experiences to bring realism to your story. A large part of my childhood was spent in South Carolina, and as a result, it’s a favorite setting of mine to use. I’ve lived in Texas since 1998, and again, I tend to ‘write what I know.’When naming your characters, do you give any thought to the actual meaning? The actual meaning, not so much. When starting a new story, one of my first steps is to define my characters. I can’t really let them in to talk to me without getting to know them first. Trying out a variety of names until I come across one that fits the person in my head is how they get their name. However, I do have one YA mermaid story that I began a while ago, where the actual meanings behind the name are important. But isn’t that usually the case in fantasy tales?What's your favorite part of a book? Hmm. I like first opening/starting a book, because you don’t know what’s ahead or who you are about to meet. If you’ve chosen wisely, the book in your hand could be your next getaway, and isn’t that always fun to anticipate?! Then, there’s that point in the book where you know you’re in it for the long haul. That spot where everything is starting to come together and the questions are being answered, and you know you won’t be setting it down until its finished — food and bathroom breaks be damned.How did you chose your particular field or genre? I think it chose me! The first thing I tried writing and sharing was an erotic fanfiction (the one that The Divine Trilogy has since grown from) and it was so well received, that’s what I kept writing.  The erotica part, that is. I’ve not stuck with a BDSM theme to all of my projects, just making sure that some good old fashioned bump and grind finds its way into my tales.Is there an author you'd really like to meet and why? I’d love to meet Laurell K Hamilton. I adore her two series, and have learned so much about how to integrate sex and plot from reading her works. She’s never been shy about letting her fans into her life, and it would be really cool to spend an afternoon sharing a drink with her . . . if I could remember to breathe that is!Do you have a hard time writing dialogue? Actually, yes. My theory as to why: I’m very shy. I don’t handle unknown situations in public arenas where I have to interact with strangers very well. I’m not a big talker, so I guess I have to work at being ‘social’ in my books.How do you feel about good reviews? Bad reviews? There is no ‘bad review’ unless it was written purely to crush the spirit of the author out of pure meanness. I find that most reviews have something positive to say if you read them carefully. The parts that might seem ‘bad,’ you just need to think on. Often, your reader is giving you hints to help better your story telling abilities. They teach you to anticipate questions - and answer them - in the course of your manuscript. Glass half-full is the easier way to live.How do you feel about sharing your work to the world? Its nerve wracking. You hope people will like it, maybe even a few will love it, but you know that there will be those who don’t like it at all. And there’s nothing you can do about that. So you suck it up, take the good with the bad, and keep writing.How do you define success as an author? When you don’t get so bogged down by everyday life, and what people are saying about your books, that it stops you from writing. As long as an author still has a story to tell, I call that success.How Has Writing Changed Your Life? I’ve made some amazing friends, and at almost forty years old, my self-confidence has never been stronger than it is right now.
Would you rather …Be attacked by 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck? Considering I’ve been ‘attacked’ by geese when in Hawaii, I’d have to go for the miniature horses. How bad could it be?Have hands for feet or feet for hands? *Giggles* I’ve always been accused of having ‘monkey toes’ because I do alot with my feet; I imagine it wouldn’t be a far stretch to just put hands at the bottom of my legs.Go without your cellAnd now for an excerpt:“So, how does that work? I mean, how does one draw the line between Master and husband?” Was such a complicated relationship possible? Could Jayden see her that way? Just thinking his name caused a funny feeling in Catherine’s chest. Her thoughts continued, now on overdrive . . .
No. Master didn’t do personal relationships. He’d said as much when they’d first signed their con-tract together. They’d both agreed to the understanding that this was nothing more than a sexual relationship. Hell, he was fucking two other people besides her that she knew of. If there were a chance that he wanted something more with her, he wouldn’t have handed her over to complete strangers today. Would he? Oh, God. Sir Jonathan’s offer to take Catherine on repeated itself in her memory, along with the knowledge that she had more sessions today with an unknown number of Doms. Was that what today was? Had the ‘inspection’ Sir Jonathan performed not been part of the scene? Was Sir Jonathan looking her over as a potential acquisition? What about Miss K offering to take her on back in February? Catherine’s stomach soured again.
“No. No, please, no. I — I can’t,” Catherine mumbled and began to shake.
“Erin?”
Her world began crumbling around her, and panic took root. Catherine gasped for air, wrapping her arms around her mid-section.
“Erin! What’s wrong?”
Paige’s shriek snapped Catherine to attention, and she raised her watery eyes to meet her new friend’s.
“Paige,” Catherine started to cry. “He figured it out. I tried to be so good, so careful. He knows, and he’s going to get rid of me!” She thought she’d done so well at hiding her secret over the months, protecting her heart.
Paige had wrapped her arm around Catherine and was rubbing slow circles on her back. With a wince, Catherine became quite aware of every lash mark from Sir Jonathan’s whip. They now burned to her core when Paige’s soft hands brushed over them. Catherine flinched away from her.
“Shh, Erin,” she said in a calming voice. “Who knows what, sweetie? What are you talking about?”
Turning wide eyes on her, Catherine choked out, “Jay . . . Master. He knows I’ve fallen in — in love with him. I wasn’t supposed to. He found out, and now he’s interviewing me with strange Doms to get rid of me. I broke the rules and he —” she swallowed a sob, “he doesn’t want me anymore!”

As this blog hop is all about romance, here's an (unedited as yet) excerpt from my upcoming anthology, Honour. (Due for release early November). This particular passage is from a short called Silence is Deafening:
Do you remember telling me that I gave you heart palpitations the first time we met?  I still maintain you stepped out in front of my bike on purpose to get my attention.  The fact that I broke my arm in two places when I crashed into that cart was bearable as it brought you into my life.
I have a list of things that cause my own palpitations just thinking about them.  Each and every one involves you as you make my heart race by just being near me.  I’m not sure if you ever knew the effect you had on me, even after the first couple of hours we spent together.  You’d made my world complete without me realising it needed it.
The day I first told you how I felt was a complete disaster.  Having the knowledge that I was going to tell you how much I loved you spun me into such a panic that I was sweating and shaking to the extreme that you nearly had to call for the Doctor.  You calmed me enough to enable me to pour out my feelings and what did you do?  You told me off!  I had just bared my soul to the woman I loved and you scolded me for making you worry.  I could have cried and walked away, but then you broke down into nervous laughter and told me you felt the same.  Finally life was perfect; I was young, healthy and loved by the girl of my dreams.
We went through it all again when I decided that I wanted, no, needed you to be my wife. I shook so much that you father thought I was taken with the drink and nearly dismissed me from his sight, but I managed to receive his permission to ask for your hand. My mam gave me the engagement ring that dad had presented her with all those years and we went for a moonlight walk along the banks of the Liffey.  I mustered up the courage to go down on one knee, my sweaty hands held yours until you agreed to be my wife for all eternity.
Our wedding day was the best day of my life.  I know we didn’t have much money, and you had to borrow Rose’s dress, but to hear you say those words binding us together was the worth more than all the riches I could imagine. It was the most priceless moment I had experienced, or so I thought until three months later when you told me I was going to be a daddy.

Cover Reveal - My Mr Manny - Jennifer Garcia

Blurb:
Mia Balducci misses her childhood days and yearns for the big, Italian family that she left behind in small town Massachusetts. At the tender age of sixteen, Mia moves with her bachelor father to Los Angeles, but no matter how many years pass, it never becomes home to her. The years spent living with her father aren’t easy, especially since she can’t stop thinking about what she once had. Her enrollment in the University of Southern California promises to bring exciting changes to her life, but Mia winds up with big problems instead. When she runs into an old friend from her old hometown of Winthrop, she gets swept up in nostalgia, and she soon loses herself in a quickly-progressing romance. When the fantasy falls apart, she is left to raise her precious little girl, Lucia, on her own. The demands of Mia’s work schedule and Lucia’s needs increase, and their lives become increasingly hectic. It is soon clear to Mia that she needs help. Luckily, her life-saving cousin saves the day and brings the mother and daughter a male nanny – their new “manny.” 
After losing his high-pressure job on Wall Street, Dominic Roberts wants to follow his dreams to have a family. He’s already one fiancée down, and there are no likely prospects for another. In order to find the family he so desperately wants, he finds himself getting into the manny business. Since he is fully qualified to provide child care and is eager to leave New York City behind, his sister-in-law is able to land him a job in California working for his first client – the beautiful and intriguing Mia Balducci.
Will Lucia like the new man in her mother's life? Will Mia? And will this new trio discover the happily ever after they all so desperately seek?

Author Info: Jennifer Garcia’s (aka Forbes Arnone) love of travel began when she traveled to the West Coast to visit her father at the age of three. Her home until she was sixteen was a small coastal town near Boston. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and two dogs.
Her lifelong love for reading and writing was put aside for many years while she made her way in the world and nurtured her young family. Even though she is older, and life never seems to settle, she’s finding her way while attending college full-time in pursuit of a B.A. in English Literature. She also runs a business, and is still caring for her family. Believing she can do it all, with the help of her family, she worked on her first novel during the late hours of the night while balancing the rest of her life during the day. Her hard work paid off, as her first novel, My Mr. Manny, will be published August 2013.

Cover Reveal - A Divine Life - R. E. Hargrave

Summary:

Over the past year of being Jayden Masterson’s collared submissive, Catherine O’Chancey has worked through the mental terrors left behind by her old Dom — or at least she thinks she has. To celebrate their collaring anniversary, Jayden organizes a special day, during which her final fantasies will be realized and her limits tested. Will it prove to be more than she can handle? Can she endure the erotic onslaught her mind and body will experience and survive unscathed?

While Catherine faces these dark shadows and pleasurable highs, Jayden will find his own inner strength being tested, too. He has come to realize that, somewhere along the way, Catherine has taken possession of his heart, mind, and body. Now, he faces his biggest challenge ever; he must let go of all his submissives but one: his jewel, Catherine. Can he leave his philandering ways behind? Has he made the ultimate mistake by putting his jewel into the hands of others? Will his gift to Catherine wind up costing him the one thing that has ever meant something real to him?

Jayden has helped Catherine heal from past wrongs and chase away the nightmares. In return, Catherine has shown him what it means to care for someone beyond mere sexual gratification. Their strengthening bond as Master and submissive has paved the way for deeper emotions — if they can find the courage to open up to each other.

Join Catherine and Jayden for an emotion packed weekend that could forever change the future of their relationship. This could be their best chance at love, but first both Dom and sub must gain control over the one thing they can’t put in a collar: their deepest doubts and fears. For this kind of healing, the necessary treatment must be mutually given. Is it too late to erase some old scars?
