Please
give a warm welcome to Sean Jones from THUNDER by Taryn
Kincaid today as we sit down and see what makes him tick.
Q:
So tell us about yourself. What got you in the cross-hairs for your author?
Yeah,
so. . . I set my bro, Campbell , up on a 1Night Stand
in LIGHTNING. I gather the author thought I was kind of a smart-ass. Also a
studly hunk, whose story needed to be told. Camp just figured turnabout was
fair play, I guess. Maybe he was a little jealous my picture was in the
tabloids with models and starlets all the time. Not a bad deal for a
developer/contractor/construction guy. Although, Camp is back with the love of
his life now, so I guess he thought he had my best interests at heart. Wants to
see everyone as love-crazed. I admit. All the hard-partying was getting to me.
Camp knows me. He knew. Filled out Madame Evangeline’s 1Night Stand
questionnaire for me and everything. And didn’t let me in on it until about
twenty minutes before the date. I was on my way to Veronica’s place in Sleepy
Hollow at the time, so it was damn good thing he confessed. Otherwise, might
have ended real badly for everyone.
Q:
What was it that drew you to your mate?
She does this thing. Bites on her lip.
Twirls her hair. Brings out cookies and sandwiches and lemonade to my crews who’ve
been trying to renovate her mansion for months. We’d have been done weeks ago,
if she didn’t keep making me change things. I’ll growl at her for that, but I’m
kinda secretly glad. You think she’s the cool, sophisticated lady of the manor,
and then she goes and shows how vulnerable she is. She’s a witch. Really. Not a
super sorceress or anything, although she’s totally bewitched me. She doesn’t think she’s a very good witch.
Her late husband, who was 85, was sort of mentoring her along when he … uh, bought
the farm. Some reviewer said she was a witch-in-training. Yeah, I like that
idea much better than her thinking she’s a not very good witch.
Q:
A little naughty fun, where was the wildest place you seduced your partner(s)?
They’re
all naughty fun and a little wild. I don’t really want to talk about this. I made sure her house has plenty of
Jacuzzis, though. Yeah, and that first
night…one second we were on the marble floor in the grand hall. The next second
we were in the master suite in bed. She’s got a wand. So do I.
Q:
Boxers, briefs or Commando on a man?
All
of the above. Lately, more commando than not.
Q: If your partner wants to seduce you, what's one sure fire trick he/she can play?
Q: If your partner wants to seduce you, what's one sure fire trick he/she can play?
All she has to do is look at me.
Q:
What was one of the most embarrassing thing your author did to you in THUNDER?
Well, one time I thought we were
having phone sex. And we weren’t.
And she signed up for a 1Night Stand
date!
I mean, she calls me up to Sleepy
Hollow on the Fourth of July, in the middle of a thunderstorm and I think she’s
gonna hassle me about new plans for the mansion. And I’m standing on her doorstep
when I suddenly realize some of my most secret sizzling hot dreams about her
are about to come true.
Q:
Anything else you would like to add?
I drop a lot of “f” bombs. And my baby’s got me totally wrapped around
her fingers. Maybe I’ve talked too much
already. But you can come read our story
in THUNDER. It’s hot!
Thank
you Sean for joining us on 'Meet the
Character' day here at Dawn’s Reading Nook Blog. Please find THUNDER by Taryn Kincaid at DecadentPublishing.com.

A 1NS Story
Lonely young witch, Veronica Hardwicke, has struggled to get on
with her life after the death of the elderly husband who’d left her a fortune
and a sprawling estate in mystical Sleepy Hollow. When frightening things go
bump in the night on a stormy Fourth of July, who better to call than the sexy
developer and contractor, Sean Jones, who's been renovating her mansion for
months?
Sean may grace the tabloid pages with a different supermodel on
his arm every night, but it's Veronica who drives him nuts. Ignoring his
instinct to stay away, he answers her summons.
Will the thundering passion of their 1Night Stand tear down the
barriers between them?
Excerpt:
Veronica paced back and forth in the grand entry foyer of the Belmont mansion,
the kitten heels of her Prada mules clacking on the marble floors.
The rest of the place might not be finished, but she’d insisted on
having a few rooms completed, so at least she felt like she was living in a
home, rather than a massive, never-ending construction project. Well, her contractor had insisted, even though
working around the main entrance and central hallway created more work for him
and his crew. But she was forced to admit he was right.
Her cell phone chimed on top of the antique credenza shoved flush
against one wall. She leaped for it. Probably Geneviève, to regale her with all
the fun she was having in Paris . Or Sean, to advise her he couldn’t make it after all. She sighed
and read the text message on the small screen.
Congratulations, Veronica.
1Night Stand has found your date. Have a good time.
With both anxiety and mounting excitement, she stared at the
screen and waited. No other info. Outside in the night, thunder boomed. She
jumped then laughed at herself.
Ghosts are one thing, but
freaking out at the weather now? Cripes, you really do need this date!
She let her imagination run wild, then texted back for more
details:
When? Where? Who?
An insistent pounding at the front door jarred her out of her
fantasy. She swung the door open on another explosive crack of thunder.
Sean stood on her doorstep, his soaked T-shirt molding sculpted
pecs and abs, his drenched hair flattened over his brow. Rain poured down as he
fiddled with his iPhone, a bemused expression on his face. Behind him, jagged
arrows of lightning tore the dark sky. He glared at the screen, glanced at her
in confusion, then back at the screen.
Veronica’s own phone pinged again. Thunder roared. She read the
message in disbelief.
You’re looking at him.

Thanks for having us in today, Dawn. Glad to see Sean didn't drop any "f" bombs! And he was talking about his squeeze, Veronica -- not me --when he was blabbing about the phone sex and her signing up for a 1Night Stand! But I guess you knew that!
A great interview! LOL about the phone sex. :)
Thanks for popping by, Jess!
