Issued to the Bride: One Marine is a USA Today bestseller

I’m thrilled to announce that Issued to the Bride: One Marine debuted at #35 on the USA Today bestseller list. A special thanks to all my readers who helped make this release a success!

Issued to the Bride: One Marine was a joy to write, because I absolutely adored both Logan Hughes and Lena Reed. They are fierce, funny, loving, loyal and a little wacky—the best combination of traits, to my way of thinking. I didn’t have to work to make the sparks fly between them—all I had to do was put Logan and Lena in the same place, and those sparks created themselves.

Two Willows has also grown to be a very special place for me, and I can’t believe there’s only one more book to go in the series. It’s going to be a doozy: with Jack and Alice going head to head, anything can happen—and will. Watch for Issued to the Bride: One Soldier in July 2018.

#1 Best Seller in Kindle Worlds Romance

Dare Me Again is Amazon’s best selling Kindle Worlds Romance!

Set in Carly Phillips’ “Dare to Love” series, Dare Me Again is the story of fearless reporter Carolina Richmond and sexy fullback Connor Wright.

Blurb:

Carolina Richmond makes a career out of being fearless, stepping into male-dominated locker rooms and head offices with equal ease to get the scoop for her ground breaking blog, Going Long. Now it’s time for a new adventure: parenthood. But the only thing that terrifies Carolina is committing to a man. That’s why she’s decided to seduce Connor Wright, a smoking hot football player who’s made no secret of his desire for her. She’ll accompany him to hotelier Robert Dare’s annual birthday bash just long enough to sweep him off his feet, then take him home for a night of passion. When daylight dawns, their relationship will end and she’ll be alone once more—and pregnant, if all goes well.

Fullback Connor Wright has wanted Carolina from the very first time she elbowed a path through a post-game locker room crowd to interview him, and he’s determined to finally get past the walls she’s put up ever since. He’s ready to retire from football and settle down to start a family, and with Robert Dare’s birthday extravaganza coming up, he’ll get one more evening with the woman of his dreams. Can his sexy scheme convince independent Carolina to team up with him for good?

Available at Amazon!

*Please note, because Kindle Worlds is an Amazon program, Dare Me Again is only available at Amazon US. This is not my choice, but a restriction of the program. Thank you for understanding.

Cora Recommends: The Aloha Series by Chris Keniston

I have a very special treat for all of you today. Chris Keniston, award-winning contemporary and military romance author, is joining us to talk about her series and answer some questions!

Hello Chris, and welcome! Thank you for joining us today, it’s always a pleasure to speak with other authors. What initially drew you to writing?

I read a book by a best-selling favorite author and the end totally ticked me off. Decided I could do better. Pulled out my laptop and a year later – Homecoming was finished.

Many of your books are set in Hawaii. What is it about the islands that enticed you to set a series there?

It wasn’t the islands. It was a person. I have always loved the beach and the ocean. A friend of mine enjoys scuba diving. I, on the other hand, prefer to be on the water not in it. While everyone was underwater, I remained on board reading. At some point I glanced up and in swim trunks with no shirt the captain was doing pushups off the back of the boat. I thought, “Oh there has to be a book in there somewhere.” I took a photo, gave my hero a background in the Navy, former EOD Special Forces, and the Aloha Series was born.

Definitely an inspiring picture, and so interesting that it was able to inspire the Aloha series! Is there any genre that you haven’t written in yet that you’d like to try?

Cozy Mysteries. I wrote a prequel for Aloha Texas, Shell Game. So many people fell in love with the antics of the heroine’s grandmother, a former grifter/con artist. I often think it would be fun to set a new series in Florida based around her new husband the retired cop/ PI and her crazy larcenous sisters stumbling onto various crimes.

That sounds like a fabulous connected series to me! What is it about becoming an author that most surprised you?

Having no control over my characters. Long ago I’d read something where an author said they’d outlined a book going in a particular direction and then the characters wouldn’t let them. I’d think, “That’s crazy, you’re writing them.” Well, ha! Sure enough. I sit down with a plan and a direction and the next thing I know my characters have gone off to a whole different place. And honestly, they’re much better at it than I am!

What’s the best thing about being an author?

The ability to travel and spend time with family. My mother is getting older and I was delighted last summer when she wasn’t feeling very well to be able to take her on a cruise to lift her spirits. Getting spur of the moment time off from a day job would have been difficult. But since a laptop is very portable, while having fun with my mother I was able to start work on  Shell Game. Readers often comment how real the story feels. Well that’s why, I was there. And yes those navy stories are true, my trivia partner was stationed at Pearl Harbor – and yes that’s really what happens when the buffet catches fire.

Thank you so much for joining us today, Chris!

The Aloha Series features heart-stopping former Navy SEALs and the smart, savvy women who fall for them. But just because the series is set in paradise doesn’t mean everything is smooth sailing. The course to true love is often a rough one, and you’ll enjoy every moment of that journey with this amazing cast of characters.

Aloha, Texas by Chris Keniston

Former navy diver Nicholas Harper likes his new world as captain of a dive boat in Hawaii. A phone call from the past changes everything. Now his uncomplicated life suddenly becomes very complicated.

Powerhouse attorney Kara Lynn O’Conner’s world revolves around her small Texas town where life is easy and safe. Focusing on her career keeps her dark secrets locked away. That is until her newest case makes her face her fears.

When the past surges into the present will it be enough to keep Nick and Kara’s two worlds together?
