GUEST BLOG: J. Lynn

Today I'm thrilled to welcome J. Lynn to my blog (you may also know her as fab YA author Jennifer Armentrout).

She's here to tell us about her first adult release, TEMPTING THE BEST MAN, a category romance just released with Entangled Publishing's Indulgence series.

I've started reading it and...WOW. Jennifer has an amazing voice that sucks you into the story instantly.

Read to the end for a chance to win copies of this book!




Now, over to Jennifer.



Tempting the Reader/Writer





I’m the kind of reader that’s tempted by a hot romance story, an alpha male…
or two, and laugh out loud moments. Any book that has those three elements, I’m
sold. Hey, what can I say? I’m easy like that.




In
fact, she’d take an asteroid with “Earth’s My Bitch” emblazoned on it and
headed her way over this.




So it seemed only natural that I’d write what I enjoy reading.
Just like with reading, any story I write has to tempt me. It has to get under my skin, make me hot, and make me laugh. If
not, I can’t get into writing it. See, I bore easily and, on top of that, I get
distracted by shiny Internet things all the time. Shiny things like this

Heh.

Moving on…




TEMPTING THE BEST MAN is my first
category romance book. I’m more of a paranormal/urban fantasy author, but
there’s something fun and relaxing about digging into the world of normal,
everyday people who aren’t fallen angels or mutant llamas.

Mutant llamas—they DO exist. And they smoke cigars and wear
tuxedos. Who knew?




In TEMPTING THE BEST
MAN, you’ll meet 25 year old Madison Daniels, who has had the hots for her
brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember. Who hasn’t been in a
situation like that? If it’s not a brother’s BFF, it’s your own best guy
friend. There’s that line you know you shouldn’t cross with that person, which
makes its oh-so much more fun to cross.




Chase
was the Antichrist to her.

A
really, unbelievably hot Antichrist…




Chase Gamble, one of three notorious brothers, does put the
“awt” in “hawt” and he can be a little, er, demanding when it comes to certain
things.




“Open your legs for me,” he ordered.




Well, okay Mr. Bossy Pants.




Okay, let’s get to the good stuff. Who do I see as Chase Gamble?

And just because I stumbled across this:

Holy hotness, Batman.




Hot guys and relatable female leads aside, I was also
inspired by the TV show Doomsday Preppers. I kid you not. True story. I was
watching it one night and thought to myself, I need to write characters one day
that are somehow like the Doomsday Preppers. 





And so Madison’s parents were born.




Not
even her semi-lunatic parents, who owned and operated a very profitable online
store called DOOMSDAY “R” US and would likely be hawking gas masks to the
guests, were the problem.




“I
know, Dad, but I haven’t had a chance to get a new spare tire yet.”

“You
should always have a spare.
Have we not taught you anything about
preparedness?”

Well,
wasn’t that a moot point right now? And it wasn’t like a comet had struck her
car.




So I was tempted to write a story that had a good, steamy
romance, a hot and sometimes demanding (wink wink) alpha male, with a dash of
snark and humor. Hopefully, you’ve been tempted to check it out.




About Tempting the Best Man




Madison Daniels has worshipped her brother's best friend
since they were kids. Everyone thinks she and Chase Gamble would make the
perfect couple, but there are two major flaws in their logic. 1) Chase has
sworn off relationships of any kind, and 2) after blurring the line between
friends and lovers for one night four years ago, they can't stop bickering.




Forced together for her brother's wedding getaway, Chase
and Madison decide to call a truce for the happy couple. Except all bets are
off when they're forced to shack up in a tacky 70’s honeymoon suite and survive
a multitude of "accidents" as the family tries to prove their
"spark" can be used than for more than fighting. That is, if they
don't strangle each other first…
