Adriana, an author duo I met on my journey, has a blog tour running right now.
Let's check out the details, shall we?
Congratulations on your new book!
Here is the book blurb.
Levelheaded English Professor Caitlin Shanahan has finally
earned tenure and purchased the century-old two-story house of her dreams in
the college town of Burntside, Wisconsin—at thirty-four, she'd better face
facts: her future is teaching college and writing plays, not falling in love.
So why is she so drawn to foxy little hometown actress Meghan Keenan, who's
rented her upstairs apartment, or worse, to the girl's gorgeous hunk of a lover
Kurt Davis, a carpenter who's never even been to college?
Twenty-year-old
Meg has a plan. First she'll seduce the reluctant professor, then she'll share
her sexual delights with both Cat and her brawny carpenter, and when she's
successfully brought them together, she can make her escape and explore what's
beyond the only town she's ever lived in.
Kurt
can't stand the uptight professor who's hired him to build a gazebo and
refurbish her old house—the house he wanted for himself. Even if Meg’s scheme
succeeds, he knows Caitlin would never look at him twice. No need to go there
in his fantasies…
Adriana is also giving us a peek at this new erotic romance!
Time Period: Modern
Series: Meghan's Playhouse, Book 1
Heat
Level: Four Flames (explicit sex, FF plus ménage & MF)
Wringing
clammy hands, Cat stood in the small production booth behind the opening night
audience. Openings inevitably made her anxious. There seemed no way to prevent
it. This was her favorite place to watch the show, because from here it looked
as if the cast performed only for her. Besides, no one bothered her when she
was in the booth.
The
first act had been superb. Meg had the crowd in the palm of her hand, hanging
onto every word and responding to every gesture, and yet she had a way of not
stealing the show. The cast performed well together.
During
intermission, Cat had visited briefly with cast members, giving them words of
support before returning to the safety of her booth. Successful opening nights
were so exhilarating, and this was one of those.
She
was startled when the door to the booth opened and closed quickly.
“Thought
I’d find you here,” Kurt said softly, squeezing into the tight space to stand
behind her. “She’s good, isn’t she?”
Cat
could barely make out his outline in the dark and quickly returned her gaze
toward the stage. His physical presence took up so much of the tiny booth she
feared suffocating. “She’s superb. Meg should be in New York. Look at her work
the crowd, and they don’t even know it.”
“She
has a way about her, all right.”
“She’s
a blend of mystery, innocence and eroticism.” She wanted to take back her words
as soon as she heard them.
“Ah.”
Kurt’s breath heated her bare neck. “She’s all of that, all right.”
“Do
you suppose she’ll ever take the next step?”
“Maybe.
If she’s supported enough. She’s more insecure about her acting than she lets
on.”
“I
know. I’ve been trying to help her with those insecurities.”
“I’ve
heard. And I gather she’s helping you with some of yours.”
Cat’s
heart skipped a beat. She should bite his head off for that comment. But she
was suddenly in a joyous mood as the crowd gave the cast a standing ovation.
She squealed, “Yes! They loved it.”
“Did
you think they wouldn’t?”
“I
never know what to think until it’s over. I better get out there.” She turned
around quickly and slammed against Kurt’s solid chest. She caught herself on
his shoulders, then suddenly felt his arms holding her steady.
In
the dark, she couldn’t tell if he was smiling or scowling. And then he brushed
his lips across hers. Her breathing stopped.
Wow! Love it!
For the really hot stuff, you'll have to check out the book! ;)

Well, let's see what Adriana has to say about her new release!
Welcome, Adriana!
That
first kiss with the person who turns out to be the love of your life...
Do you
remember yours? I sure do, but my personal history contains nothing resembling
the sniping that’s been going on between English professor Cat Shanahan and
carpenter Kurt Davis for the first two thirds of our newest release, Seducing Cat. They’ve been spitting
bullets at each other.
They’re
an unlikely pair: She’s 34, newly tenured at the college in the small town of
Burntside Wisconsin, and author and director of plays at the community theater
in town. Kurt’s 24, a high school graduate who teamed up with a buddy to create
a construction company and is doing very well. He volunteers as a set designer
at the theater, and Cat’s hired him to restore the century-old foursquare home
she recently purchased.
That
age difference quite possibly qualifies the novella as a Cougar Story, but it’s
so much more than that. To seize the love affair of their life, both Cat and
Kurt have some deep-seated prejudices to overcome: upper class disdain for
people who work with their hands, and working-class mistrust of the highly
educated. Since our own extended families are filled with both academics and
blue-collar workers, we’re familiar with this scenario—and we know that the
deep divide can sometimes be overcome in real life, as well as on the pages of
fiction.
This
five book series was originally released in 2009 by a different e-publisher.
It’s been unavailable for over four years, and we’re thrilled Extasy Books has contracted to re-release
it, completely revised and re-edited. In the meantime, Meg insisted we write
one more adventure. The six books will release approximately every ten weeks.
Watch for Book Two: A Woman for Zachary in
early August!
By
the time the excerpt below occurs, Meg and Cat are already lovers. Kurt knows
this, but he’s made clear he wants no part of whatever crazy scheme Meg is up
to.
