3rd Craziest Blog Tour Ever! COMING TO REASON by @Liza0Connor #disaster #romance
Jessica and Family has escaped the twenty feet of snow in Canada, and are living in her spaceship presently.
Jessica: Captain Mars. I’ve great news. Carrie Hanson and a friend are coming to visit. You remember Carrie don’t you?
Mars: If that is a subtle way of asking me if my mind is failing, the answer is no. I recall Carrie Hanson very well. She is without doubt the finest young woman I have ever met.
Jessica: By all means, don’t worry about insulting me, your commander and chief.
Mars: My apologies, sir. But given your children are 5 and 10, I no longer categorize you as a young woman.
Jessica: And what category have you tossed me in, pray tell?
Mars: Let me apologize, sir, for any insult I have accidentally given. I consider you an exceptional woman in your prime, not a young miss still clueless to the world.
Jessica: Thank you for the clarification Captain Mars. You may beam up my guests now.
Mars: As you wish, sir. Transportation in process…
*Two young women materialize on the platform*
Destiny: That was so freaken cool!
Carrie: Really? I don’t really like having my body dissolve into a trillion particles, then reassemble on the other end.
Jessica: Sorry. But my house below is buried under snow and I’m tired of shoveling and risking my life to keep groceries in stock. So I moved my family up here.
Carrie: Do you still have your clone of Mars.
Jessica: Yes I do. He’s my captain now. He’s the most competent man I’ve ever met. I’ve no idea why the original settled on being a butler. He should be running your country.
Carrie: Only a masochist would take that job.
Jessica: The man worked for Trent…how much more masochistic can you get?
Carrie: Good point.
Destiny: She’s right. Mars should be president. If anyone can force congress to behave, it would him.
Jessica: And who is your friend with the Princess Leia buns?
Carrie: Sorry, this is Destiny. She’s my friend and coworker.
Jessica: One of your new hires at Lancaster?
Carrie: No. Trent fired me. I’m working at Dan Marshal’s Resource firm now.
Destiny: He’s my dad. We are thrilled to have her, and we aren’t giving her up even if Trent stops being a jerk and pays the two million he owes my dad.
*Captain Mars enters with a tray of beverage.*
Mars: “Miss Carrie. It is a pleasure to see you.”
Carrie: Congratulations on your promotion. I bet you’re the best captain there’s ever been.
Destiny: A real captain of a real space ship! This is the coolest thing ever. Will show me how to fly the ship?
Jessica: Go on Mars. Show Carrie’s friend around.
Mars: Follow me. But no touching anything without my express permission.
Jessica: *focuses on Carrie* So, you and Trent broke up. I’m not surprised. You were always too good for him.
Carrie: We aren’t broken up. We just became a normal couple where we work at different places.
Jessica: So why did you bring Destiny with you instead of Trent?
Carrie: Well, for one because Trent would go through the roof if he knew you cloned his butler. And believe me, given how crazy he’s been acting, you do not want him on a warpath.
Jessica: That’s for certain. So tell me about your new boss.
Carrie: Dan’s a fabulous person. I’ve known him since book one, but we’ve become really good friends now. When Trent up and fired me without any warning, I went to Dan, since he’s the best recruiter in New York City, hoping he’d be able to find me a job. Instead, he asked me to work for him. He has a serious problem and I’m planning to solve it.
Jessica: Of course you are. Is Dan as needy as Trent?
Carrie: Not at all. He’s very much in charge of his life. He doesn’t need me to fix his problem, he’s just letting me, since I need a job.
Jessica: Excellent. Tell me more.
Carrie: I have a picture of him. Liza painted it. He normally is smiling. I don’t know why she painted him so worried.
Jessica: Maybe he’s worried about you.
Carrie: That’s silly. Why would he worry about me?
Jessica: I’ve heard rumors Trent has a harem.
Carrie: I’ve heard that as well. It’s his all-female sales staff. They are pretty, if you like short skirts and barely there blouses, and yes they do flirt with him, but he doesn’t like it. I’ve personally seen him push them away from him.
Jessica: Did you by chance enter the room when he did that?
Carrie: Yes. How did you know?
Jessica: Just a wild guess on my part. So Dan has a daughter, does that means he’s married?
Carrie: No. He’s been a single parent most of Destiny’s life. She is a wonderfully sweet person. She wants to be me when she grows up.
Jessica: How old is she?
Carrie: 19. She’s in college and takes care of Dan’s computer and phone issues at work. I love her to death. I’ve got some really great friends now. I feel so fortunate.
Jessica: I’m glad you’re getting new friends. Are you still friends with Tall and Tiny.
Carrie: Yes. I even go to another of their Broadway shows in Coming to Reason. *Carrie frowns* I’m a bit worried about the name of this book. What do I need to come to reason about?
Jessica: You’ll know when it hits you. And if you need a place to shelter afterwards, you can always come up here and hang out with Mars. According to him, you’re his favorite person in the whole world.
Carrie: I think highly of him as well. Speaking of which, I should retrieve Destiny before she attempts to take the ship for a joy ride. She’s very playful.
Jessica: It was great having you. Come back any time.
Carrie: Thanks. I hope springs come so you can return to your home.
Jessica: Me too. Kid proofing a space ship is impossible!

Enjoy An Excerpt
Carrie Hanson woke to the loving caresses of her boss and boyfriend, Trent Lancaster. She smiled as he rolled on top of her and dwarfed her petite four-foot-six body. God, she loved the man he’d become.
He possessed many admirable traits now: strong, thoughtful, a wonderful sense of humor, caring, and smart. Unfortunately, he had a couple of qualities she outright wished he didn’t. Due to his terrible upbringing, Trent would erupt into temperamental outbursts over the stupidest problems. Worse yet, he was a billionaire; a six-foot-tall, blue-eyed, dark-haired, handsome bachelor of society. Wolves could have done a better job raising him than his horrid, but thankfully dead, parents.
His eyes sparkled with love as he tugged off her teddy and perused her body. She breathed in at the warmth of his hand. His touch always set her skin on fire.
“I think we’re going to be late to work today.”
With a soft chuckle, she corrected him, “It’s Sunday.”
His eyes rounded for a moment. “I love Sundays.” He captured her hands and moved them to the ornate metal of the headboard, curling her fingers around the bars.
“I love you,” he added and kissed her with hungry passion, while his hands caressed her breasts.
A haze of nirvana enveloped her for a blissful moment, then a jarring ring pulled her from heaven. Releasing the headboard, she slapped the black radio alarm by her bedside, determined to quiet it before it ruined the mood. Unfortunately, the ringing continued.
“No!” she yelped when Trent rolled to the side and climbed off the bed. He reached for his pants on the floor and extracted his phone.
“Trent.”
Whoever called had him scurrying to the bathroom so he could talk in private. Carrie hoped a friend didn’t need money. His moments of generosity never worked out well.
She glared at the closed door. Who calls at six in the morning on a Sunday? She sat up, grabbed her teddy, and put it on. They had been so close to having morning sex, something she greatly liked since it put her in a good mood the entire day. However, she’d just discovered interrupted, no morning sex, made her disgruntled and grumpy.
She pushed out of bed and followed him to the bathroom, only he’d locked her out. His action surprised her. He rarely even bothered closing the door, never mind locking it.
Curious, she pressed her ear against the balsa wood. His low, refined voice came through loud and clear. “Got to go. I’ll see you soon.”
A second later, he opened the door and pulled her into his arms. “Missed me?” He captured her mouth with his.
She pushed away from his kiss, knowing if he planned to see someone soon, he’d booted morning sex to the curb. “Don’t heat me up if you don’t plan to finish what you start.”
