Every Girl Needs a BFF By: Casey Crow
Thank you, Dawn, for having me at your Reading Nook. I'm
excited to be here and announce the release of my with Loose, Id. CAN'T FAKE THIS
started out on a whim. At the last minute, I decided to enter this 10,000 word
contest. I’d written spicy mainstream, but this was my first dive into erotic
waters. I didn’t win the contest, but after having what I thought was a good
start, I added some more words and low and behold, this erotic became the first
manuscript I sold.
CAN’T FAKE THIS is a f/m erotic about a divorcee ready to
reenter the dating world. Anna Ryan is determined to be the best “product on
the market,” which requires a lot more experience so she propositions sexy
police officer Chase Harris to teach her how to make hot, passionate love as
opposed to just having sex. He takes it a step further, instructing each lesson
based on The Twelve Days of Christmas.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…temptation
in a hot package. For more, check out the book
trailer and a super hot excerpt!
The story definitely has my “Sexy, Sassy & Southern” trademark, but one of
the things I like best about it is the relationship between Anna and her best
friend. Like me, Anna goes to her best gal pal for advice and more often than
not, whenever she needs to vent. Best friends never judge, no matter what
stupid thing you do. They accept you for you and tell you the true, even if you
don't want to hear it.
Here's a an excerpt:
Marisol and I sat on her back porch, drinking hot chocolate
on another relatively warm afternoon for December. God, I loved the South,
where sixty degrees isn’t unusual for the height of winter. Even so, a flame
blazed in the fire pit located in the center of her coffee table.
“Have you made a decision?” Marisol asked. She pushed around
the remnants of the homemade smores our kids created earlier as she searched
for more marshmallows to add to her cup. “It’s been over three weeks, and you
were wrong. You said I’d pine for two weeks, but I’m still moping around barely
able to function.”
“Has he contacted you?”
“At first, he would text every couple of days. Nothing big.
He asked how I was. Stuff like that. I kept it light and distant, then today he
sent me a message asking how was he ever going to get over me.”
“Did you reply?”
“No. I wanted to tell him, I’ll let you know when I figure
out how I’m going to get over you, but then I got another message. Said he
missed me all the time and it wasn’t just about sex. That he simply loved being
with me.”
Marisol’s mouth dropped. “He’s seriously in love with you.”
I nodded.
“How do you feel?”
I took a big gulp of hot cocoa. “I’m attracted to him, but
there’s more. I love him. He makes me laugh and feel good about myself. Chase
cherishes and protects without dominating. He lets me be me and loves me for
that.”
“Do you still think it’s a rebound thing?”
“No. I’ve done some serious soul searching, and all I could
come up with is yeah, Frog number one should have been the jumping off board,
but why dive again when I’m already over my head in love?”
Marisol sat her cup down and leaned forward to garner my
full attention. “Take a chance. Don’t be afraid and risk happiness for the sake
of obeying the post-divorce books.”
I rubbed my forehead, letting her words sink in.
“Call him.”
I glanced at her.
“Better yet, go see him.”
Do you have a story about you and your best friend? An
embarrassing moment? Mine involves a fender bender in high school. I wasn't
driving, but distracting my friend singing Elvira. I pretty much made
her run into this guy's truck, and he had such crush on her. Well, maybe not so
much after she scratched his pride and joy. Are there any touching stories
you'd like to share? I'd love to hear about them!

Madeline - Thanks for stopping by! It was a fun book to write. I'm so proud of that book trailer, mainly because I did it all by myself, and I am so not tech savvy! LOL Happy holidays!
