669. RT Rewind – February 2015 Ads & Features Part II


Smart Podcast Trashy Books Romantic Times RewindAt the suggestion of some listeners, I split the Ads & Features into two parts, in part because it was very long, and also because there are 5 Fridays in May. Woot!

You can find Part I here  (or in your favorite podcast app).

Part II of the Ads & Features from February 2015 features HelenKay Dimon just dropping all sorts of information left and right.

We talk about:

  • How many romantic suspense covers look the same
  • Ways to approach reviews when you’re an author
  • What happens when romantic suspense authors take a gun safety and usage class?(For one thing: they have a lot to say about cover models holding guns.)

I hope you’ve been enjoying this time travel journey!

Visual Aids for This Episode 

The cover of the Trouble with Patience by Maggie Brendan - a woman in a blue period gown with a butt ruffle looking over her shoulder and she is NOT IMPRESSED with you. Her eyebrows are up, and there is significant side-eye.

Side. Eye.

Christine Feehan's Viper Game, with a close up of the cover model mirrored right and left. On the right she has purple eyes. On the left, on the book cover, she has purple eyes AND purple scale patches under her eyes AND AND AND her braided hair is a SNAKE.

Purple eyes AND snake hair!

three covers for Kat Martin's books against a sunset over some trees and mountains. The most prominent book is Against the Sky, which features a man from the lips down wearing a tactical vest, a very tight tshirt over very shiny arms, cargo pants and a badge. He is holding a gun pointing down at the ground in front of him, and his right finger is visibly alongside the run and not tucked into the trigger.

Look at that excellent gun safety demonstration.

A blue and white scale image of a woman with entirely black eyes, like no sclera, looming over some surf. The title is outer banks by anton barber. And the model looks, no question, like Taylor Swift. It's Hurricane Taylor!

It’s Hurricane Taylor!

The left panel of a Loose Id ad, featuring a towel clad backside, some wiry flower arrangements, a rose and a tablet with Loose Id's homepage on it

Butt.

The rest of the ad, which has a blonde woman laying on a folded towel with chocolates and roses and the loose id tablet again. There's a person with a gorgeous french manicure giving this person a massage, and the way the composition is lit, my eyes go right to the manicure.

Manicure!

The cover for HelenKay Dimon's Running Hot, with a man with a wide hairline with close shorn hair, avaiator sunglasses and a wide scoop neck tshirt is looking down. He has got a GRIP on his jeans. Like his hand is clenched and the fabric is all folded up.

He’s really got a grip on those pants, there.

Love Fast

Support for this episode comes from Louise Bay’s newest contemporary romance, Love Fast.

The first in the Colorado Club Billionaires series, Love Fast is a standalone small town contemporary featuring one runaway bride, one grumpy billionaire, and one small town where everyone remembers everything, including all the things they’re trying to forget.

Rosey never thought she’d be a runaway bride. She just couldn’t marry the wrong man.
So, she ran.

And somehow ended up in Star Falls, Colorado—stranded, no luggage, no plan—in her wedding gown.

When Rosey takes the only available rental in town, she finds herself in a cozy little cabin… right next door to Byron Miller, the brooding grumpy man who wants nothing to do with her. Or this town.

Byron quit Star Falls years ago, leaving many mistakes behind him in the past – or so he thought. Now he’s back, and he’s determined to build a luxury resort that will, he hopes, rewrite his messy past.

He doesn’t want any distractions, especially not a winsome runaway bride with a beautiful smile and pile of secrets she’s keeping close.

But then short interactions become late-night talks on the porch as the snow falls and the sparks fly.

She’s just passing through, and he’s not trying to put down any roots, but Star Falls, Colorado, has its own plan for them both.

If you like contemporary romances about fresh starts with a hero who falls first, look for Love Fast by Louise Bay, now available where you like to shop for books.
