A look at ‘The Art of Three’ @racheline_m @erincmcrae @SDSXXTours #Contemporary #Romance

The Art of Three
by Erin McRae & Racheline Maltese
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Menage (non-erotic)
Jamie Conway has a charmed life. At 24, he’s relocated from Dublin to London to star in his first feature film. Unfortunately, he also has one very big problem: He has a huge crush on his happily married costar.
British heartthrob to middle-aged women everywhere, Callum Griffith-Davies should have more sense than to flirt with his new-to-the-business colleague, but good judgement isn’t one of the qualities for which he’s known.
Nerea Espinosa de Los Monteros Nessim has better things to do than fret about her husband’s newest conquest. She’s busy planning her daughter’s wedding at the family’s farmhouse in rural Spain. Besides, she and Callum have been married and polyamorous for almost 30 years; she’s content to let him make his own bad choices.
But when Nerea flies to London after her artwork is selected for a high-profile museum show, she falls for Jamie too. Soon Callum, Jamie, and Nerea have bigger problems, and surprises, than international logistics. From ex-lovers and nosy neighbors to adult children with dramas of their own, The Art of Three is a contemporary romance that celebrates families, and farce, in all shapes and sizes.
Erin McRae is a queer writer based in New York and Washington, DC. She is a researcher, statistician, and novelist.
She has a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada) and a master’s degree in International Affairs from American University (Washington, DC).

She is also a producer and writer on Tremontaine, Serial Box Publishing’s adventure of manners, swordplay, and chocolate that’s a prequel to Ellen Kushner’s gay lit classic, Swordspoint.

* You can find Tawny on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.

Today we have an interview with Tawny Weber!
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
* Ben & Jerry’s Toffee Bar Crunch is my absolute favorite, which is why we rarely have it in the house.
Which mythological creature are you most like?
* Ohh, that’s a great question. I wish I was like a dragon. I really do. There is so much intensity and power there. I don’t know which character I actually am like, but will go with a dragon as my goal. One day, I’ll breathe fire!
First book you remember making an indelible impression on you.
* Little Women. It’s the first book I remember hooking me so tight that I had to re-read it over and over. I read it until the binding broke, then I taped it together with electrical tape (all I had on hand). Little Women tugged at so many emotions and to this day makes me sigh and smile.
How do you develop your plot and characters?
* I usually start with a ‘what if’ type question that builds the plot. ‘What if a SEAL mission leaves one man dead. But what if he isn’t’ is the foundation of CALL TO HONOR and the Team Poseidon series. From that, the characters grow. The characters are more complex for me to develop. I usually start with a general idea of their challenge or the type of issues the plot will bring to light (if I discover the plot first, as I did with the Team Poseidon stories) and then layer from there. I always start a book thinking I know who my characters are, but it takes writing those first few chapters over and over and over until I feel that I know my characters. Its in the process of writing them that I discover their personality, their voice and their fears and issues. Once I have an handle on that, the rest of the story generally flies pretty quickly because for me, characters drive everything.
Describe your writing space.
* I’m in the middle of renovating my office since we’re pulling up carpet to put in hardwood floors through the entire house. So my office is that place I visit for maybe an hour or so each day to backup my cloud drive, do any graphic work and imagine what it’ll be like to work in here after everything is put back where I can find it LOL. Because of the renovations, my current writing space is the comfiest chair in the house, next to the fireplace where I craft my stories on my iPad Pro while cuddled up next to the dogs.

A look into…

~ Blurb ~

* “No man left behind” is inscribed in the DNA of every SEAL and Lieutenant Diego Torres is no exception. But with a team member killed—and the body missing— Diego’s honor is sorely tested. Now his career and reputation are on the line, and a traitor is hiding among them. Diego wants answers…and only one woman has them.
* Single mom Harper Maclean has two priorities—raising her son Nathan and starting a new life. Her mysterious new neighbor may be impossibly charming, but Diego asks too many questions about her past—and about the father of her child. Questions she fears will reveal her burning attraction for Diego, and ultimately put them all in danger’s path.

~ Excerpt ~

* Harper’s frown intensified. All of this dating and sex talk was stupid. All it did was stir up thoughts of Brandon, bad memories and hurt feelings. And like anything to do with Brandon Ramsey, the second one thought occurred, a million followed. He was the poster boy for taking a mile when an inch was all she’d offered.
* No more, she ordered herself. He wasn’t a part of her now, and her past was over.
* “Registered letter for one Mr. Nathan Ramsey, care of Harper Maclean,” Andi said, coming back waving a large envelope. “Who’d get his name wrong?”
* The bowl of cleaned berries suddenly shaking in her hands, Harper set it on the bar with care and stared. Her chest hurt. She couldn’t think for the buzzing in her ears.
* Ramsey.
* Harper’s heart raced so fast, it tripped over itself. How was that possible? Why would Brandon contact Nathan? As far as he knew, she’d followed his instructions to end the pregnancy. How did he know she’d had the baby? How did he know Nathan’s name? Had he always known?
* The air locked in Harper’s chest, vicious and tight, cutting off her breath, sending shards of pain knifing through her.
* Why was he contacting her? Contacting Nathan? Was he going to try to get custody?
* Or had his parents gotten wind of unaccounted Ramsey DNA and tracked down their heir apparent?
* Harper looked toward the stairs with a desperate gaze. She should get Nathan. They should go. Now.
* As soon as she thought that, Harper squared her shoulders.
* To hell with that. Nathan was her son. This was her home. She’d be damned if Brandon or his rich parents were going to screw with either.
* Still, her hand trembled so much as she took the letter that she dropped it onto the marble countertop as if it were on fire.
* “Harper,” Andi moaned. “You’re killing me. Open. Open. Open.”
* Knowing Andi would keep it up until she did, she huffed out a hot breath. Sliding her thumbnail under the flap, Harper reluctantly tugged the paper out.
* She noted the official-looking insignia and the fancy lettering denoting it to be from Admiral H. M. Cree, Special Ops commander.
* Her brow creased as she read.
* The room narrowed, and all the air disappeared. The words spun into a swirling blur of black on white. She needed to sit down. But she managed only a single step before her legs gave out and she sank to the floor, the letter clutched in her hands.
* “What is it?” Instead of pulling her back up, Andi dropped down next to her, gathering Harper into her arms. She tried to read the paper, but Harper couldn’t let it go. “Sweetie, what does it say?”
* “He’s dead,” Harper murmured, her voice sounding as if it were coming from the other end of a long tunnel. “Brandon is dead.”

DUSK UNTIL DAWN
by Andie J. Christopher
Pub date: 4/18/2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
No boundaries.
Bartender and aspiring painter Maya Pascual loves turning up the heat. And dumping a vodka-and-karma chaser on the man who broke her heart is perfect Bronx girl payback. But how can she resist when Miami playboy prince Javier Hernandez begs to make it up to her. . .
No regrets.
Between his disastrous personal life and his wealthy family’s meddling, Javi needs to get back on track. The only thing that’s certain is his passion for Maya. If she’ll just let him show her how sorry he is, maybe he can move on and start fresh. But one look in her gorgeous eyes and he knows letting her go will be easier said than done.
No rules.
Maya agrees to one dinner with Javi. But as their attraction threatens to combust, she wonders if a night of no strings, no repeats surrender is the only way burn off their desire once and for all…. Unless the light of day reveals it’s impossible to let go.
Andie J. Christopher writes edgy, funny, sexy contemporary romance. She grew up in a family of voracious readers, and picked up her first Harlequin romance novel at age twelve when she’d finished reading everything else in her grandmother’s house. It was love at first read. It wasn’t too long before she started writing my own stories—her first heroine drank Campari and wore a lot of Esprit. Andie holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame in economics and art history (summa cum laude), and a JD from Stanford Law School. She lives in Washington, DC, with a very funny French Bulldog named Gus.
