Before Man Up by Felice Stevens
Hello and Happy Friday!
It was a bittersweet week for me as I released the final book in my Man Up series, James, Uncontrollable. You may have heard that the idea for this series started out with another of my author friends and was to be MF. We were each going to write a chapter about a different character of the strip club and it was to be a little bit of a romantic suspense. The club featured both male and female strippers.
My guy was named Eric. He had come to the club for his fraternity brother's bachelor party, but was hiding a big secret. See, Eric had all along pretended he was wealthy when in fact he was poor and his father was a drunk. They cut off ties when Eric left to go to college, as his father thought he should stay home and work. Now, Eric was in debt and had to make money to pay back his loans but he couldn't find a job. At the party he drowned his sorrows in liquor and got so drunk, he went up on stage with the strippers and the owner liked what he saw and offered him a job. There was a female stripper who needed help hiding from an abusive boyfriend and Eric falls for her and so on.
That's about as far as I got before we shelved the idea.
Writing Man Up was a challenge for me. At five books it was my longest series. And it was written in first person, dual POV. I never thought I'd like writing in first person but discovered I do. I love it in fact.
Finishing the Man Up series is James—Uncontrollable. By far James was the hardest book I've ever written and in Malcolm and James I might have found my favorite couple of mine. From the moment Mal popped up on page I loved him—his snarky wit, his compassion and his love for life. James was a bit harder because he hid, even from me.
Pesky characters.
I hope you enjoyed reading the series as much as I enjoyed writing these men. It truly was a labor of love.
you can find James at the special release price of $3.99 or you can borrow it on Kindle Unlimited for 90 days.
