Visiting the Black Elkhorn Lodge and Resort is Mia Evans’s last option. She’s bordering on a nervous breakdown. Everyone in her life she thought she could count on deserted her. And, to make matters worse, she has the foulest case of writer’s block in the history of the world. She figures getting herself out of the prison her apartment in Chicago has become will help jar her life and her writing out of the rut they are in. But she isn’t prepared for the surly, sexy cowboy – who looks like her every dark fantasy come alive – riding into her life on his trusty steed.

Cole Stewart only loved one woman in all his thirty-five years, until he lost her forever and swore he would never love another. Since then he’s had a revolving door with the subs at his lifestyle club Cuffs & Spurs, all with the unwritten rule that he doesn’t get involved or do relationships of any kind, period. That is, until Mia Evans, the burned-out, anxiety ridden author, needing to get away from her real life, nearly runs him over with her car. Seeing the haunted expression in her gaze and a body he craves, the Dom in him knows he must have her, must taste her and feel her writhing beneath him. But will he be willing to risk his heart for the untamed passion he finds in her arms?

Five Facts: I used to be painfully shy--hide behind the television so I didn't have to talk to people shy.

I once pet a rhinoceros' belly. He rolled onto his side like a giant puppy.

I prefer red toenail polish to any other color.

I recently received my 100 published books pin from RWA. I've been published for almost 15 years. I've written in multiple romance genres - paranormal, historical, contemporary, futuristic, sci fi, fantasy - and have recently published cozy mysteries.

I still have my 10 year old dream of publishing a photography book and having my work shown in museums.



Interview:

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Around 10, my dad gave me my first camera, and from that moment on I wanted to be a photographer working for National Geographic.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
When I read the book Travels with Charley by Steinbeck, I had the strongest urge to do what he did--travel around and meet people, see their lives and hear their stories. I want to go to every country.

Do you have any hobbies? I started out as a photographer, and thought that was what I would always do. The writing career launched and took me in a whole new direction. But I still love to pick up my camera when I get a chance.

What was your first kiss like?
Unforgettable...but not for the right reasons. It wasn't good.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
I'm an extroverted introvert. I used to be painfully shy. It was hard at first for me to get out there and do reader events and book signings. Now, I still tend to be a private person, but I'm more outgoing.

How do you handle negative reviews?
Luckily, the majority of my reviews are positive ones. I have wonderfully supportive readers! <3

I don't know many people who aren't affected by criticism in some way, but you can't let that negativity infect you. As I've gotten older, I've come to the conclusion that it's only an opinion and if they don't like reading my work there are plenty of other authors they can choose from.

Do you get nervous before a book release?
Nervous and Excited. It usually hits in around the time all the promo and marketing is set and I have nothing to do but sit and wait for the release.

Nate Pearson is ridiculously handsome and wears the hell out of a suit and tie, but I’ve seen the parade of beautiful women leaving his apartment across the hall—a different one every time—and I want no part of it. When it comes to romance, I’m looking for something real, something that will last: the happily ever after.

As a divorce attorney, he loves to tell me there’s no such thing.

As a wedding planner, I choose to disagree.

We disagree on almost everything, in fact. Everything except James Bond. The only time we really get along is when we’re watching 007 flicks together, and I’ll admit—he has rescued me from a disaster or five. So when one of the baton twirlers from his parade leaves a baby girl at his door with a note that says “I’ll come back for her” and he begs me for help, I can’t turn him down.

But it’s a mistake.

Because watching him with his daughter, I start to see another side of Nate, a side that has my breath coming faster, my body craving his, my heart longing for him to change his mind about love and tell me there’s a chance for us.

I don’t want to be just another girl leaving his apartment in the morning.

I want to be the one he asks to stay.

Title: Everless
Author: Sara Holland
Publisher: HarperTeen
Published: Jan 2, 2018



Review:
Everless is a dystopian story of royalty in a fantasy world where one's blood is both the currency and your life expectancy. The story follows Jules Ember and her dangerous journey into the heart of Everless, living among the queen as a servant. There are secrets, betrayals, and lots of twists and turns as the story unfolds.

At times the writing felt slow as we learned what was happening for Jules and the kingdom of Sempera. There was a heavy dose of world building which wasn't bogged down too much but did slow and shift the story at times out of the action sequences. There were also plenty of exciting scenes that made me not want to put the book down, especially as the story grew into the later chapters. The first 100 pages is probably the hardest to get through but it was worth it. By then the characters are well developed and the end is worth reading.
