Welcome Jenn Roseton

Welcome author Jenn Roseton to the Reading Nook. Comfortable? Great let's get started....

To get us started can you tell us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?

Right now I'm working on a trilogy of sexy contemporary western romance novelettes set in a small town in Wyoming.  Curves and the Cowboy is scheduled to come out later this month.  I hope to have the next book in the series out in July/early August and the final book in late August/early September.

Do you have any guilty pleasures?

My guilty pleasure is eating gourmet chocolate, preferably 50% cocoa content or more! I just love Hachez 88% and my new favorite is Hachez 55%.  Unfortunately, I can only buy these from a specialist chocolate shop in the city and I only make a special shopping trip to the city every few months.  I also enjoy Rausch chocolate.  Both these brands are made in Germany and I haven't been able to find anywhere else to buy them, even online!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

That is a tough question to answer.  Growing up, I lived in the suburbs and always wanted to live in the country.  Six years ago, I did move to the country and I love it here.  But I would like to live on thousands of acres (such as a ranch in Wyoming, LOL) where I could go horse-riding and skiing and sledding in winter.  I would also like to spend some time in Hawaii, somewhere peaceful and private, where it's just me, the sky and the ocean.  I think six months on a large ranch in Wyoming and six months on the beach in Hawaii every year would be close to perfect.

How do you get yourself in the mood to write?

Most of the time I don't.  I just park my butt in the chair, turn on the computer and start writing.  I usually read part of what I wrote the day before so I know where I'm up to, but that's about it.  I have good writing days and bad ones, but I try to make myself write every weekday (I usually give myself the weekends off).  If I only wrote when I really felt like it, I would probably only have four books or less out, instead of seven.

If someone hasn't read any of your work, what book would you recommend that they start with and why?

I've written two series and one stand-alone so far, not counting my new western romance series.  At the moment my favorite series is my two-part Hot and Sexy series featuring Jared and Christy.  Hot and Sexy 1: Seductive Persuasion starts off when Jared turns up at the isolated cabin where Christy has fled needing some space while she mulls over his proposition that she moves in with him.  In Hot and Sexy 2: Bridal Jitters, Jared and Christy are engaged, but things aren't going smoothly leading up to the wedding so they decide to elope.  However, Jared's past comes back to haunt him before they exchange their wedding vows!

Coffee, tea or other drink to get you moving in the morning?

I definitely need a coffee in the morning! I love a good mocha with plenty of foam and I make a great one at home using my little Aerolatte stick whizzer.  

What do you feel is the most important thing that a first-time author should know?

I've self-published seven novelettes.

  The most important thing I've learned is to never give up on your
 dream.  If you want to write, then don't let anyone convince you you can't or that self-publishing is hard, because it isn't (once you know what you're doing).  I'm not talking about promotion though, that's a whole other issue, LOL!  All you need to self-publish is to write a story that you think is good enough and that you want to share with people, maybe hire a freelance editor to go over it with you, make or hire someone to design a cover for it, format it, and upload it to Amazon or Smashwords (or both!)

Hot and Sexy 1: Seductive Persuasion by Jenn Roseton

From mild-mannered architect to hot and sexy ex-commando! 

Running away to an isolated cabin for a few days, Christy is shocked when Jared turns up at her door. She wanted time alone to mull over Jared’s proposition that she move in with him. Since they haven’t been dating long, she wants to make sure she makes the right decision.

But when Jared follows her, hoping to persuade her with his own special brand of seduction, she realizes there’s more to him than meets the eye.

Can Jared use seductive persuasion to his advantage? 

Except from Hot and Sexy 1: Seductive Persuasion:

“She tried to pull away from him, but his arm tightened around her.  “Where do you think you’re going?” he whispered huskily.  “I haven’t finished persuading you yet.”

“Jared--”

He kissed her hungrily.  “Don’t talk.  And don’t think.  Just feel.”

“But I need--”

“I know what you need.”  He pinned her underneath him, holding her in place with his lower body as he ripped open the buttons of his shirt and yanked it off.

Christy found herself admiring his hard, muscular chest while wondering whether she should try to stop him.  “Jared…”  She reached out. 

He caught her hand in his and kissed her palm.  “Let me make love to you, Christy.”

Sneak Peek Excerpt: Werelove by Lakisha Spletzer

Sneak Peek Excerpt: Werelove by Lakisha Spletzer
Dusk Conspiracy Vol. 1
Available in Paperback at Amazon

Blurb:

Seventeen-year-old Laylah Le Croix has a rich father, mansion, and servants. Yet she is lonely and neglected. Her father would rather work than speak to her. At the academy she is bullied and mistreated.
When Weres attempt to kidnap Laylah, she is saved by the mysterious Donil Silentshadow. Donil rouses feelings in Laylah that make her question her life and her father's animosity toward her handsome rescuer. Confused by these emotions, she seeks answers from those closest to her and is rebuffed.
She must make a choice. Obey her father's edicts or follow her heart to learn the truth about her past.

Sneak peek Excerpt:

Laylah stared at the ear comm. Her father hadn’t even spoken to her. Instead he handed her off to Jacques. She was glad that Jacques was alive, but was hurt by her father’s brush-off.

“Hey, it’s okay. I’m here,” Donil assured her.

She gave him a wan smile. “I don’t know why I bothered hoping this time would be different.”

He cupped her face in his hands and peered into her eyes. “Because, Beautiful, that hope is a part of who you are as a person. It’s the part that makes you special. It can even inspire people to be better than what they are. Never forget that. Now, let’s get you ready to go home.”

She didn’t move, simply stared back at him. ::His hands are so warm against my cheeks. And his eyes…so kind, caring, sincere.::

Donil heard her thoughts and returned her stare with his own frank admiring gaze. He saw the hurt from her father’s rejection reflected there and wanted to erase it. He gently tilted her face up and kissed her.

Laylah tensed, her hands going to his arms while her eyelids fluttered closed. She opened them when his lips left hers. She felt bereft.

Their gazes collided and they both blushed. She looked away first, eyes downcast. She was so confused! And yet, she wanted more of the same. “Oh, wow!”  She had no other words to describe the riot of emotions playing havoc inside her head and heart. She snuck a peek at him from beneath lowered lashes.

“I agree. Wow!” Donil smiled and brushed his thumb across her bottom lip. So lovely. Laylah was precious and special to him. She really had no clue how much she meant to him.

Laylah's pupils contracted and her eyelids slowly closed. Her heart was threatening to beat out of her chest and the heat…the heat was intense!

“I would love to kiss you again, but Mom would tan my hide if I don’t get you home,” Donil stated, breaking the silence.

Screw home! Laylah wanted to be with him! He, who made her feel alive. The thoughts were bold, daring and so unlike her that she panicked. She jumped away from Donil as if scalded, her hand automatically reaching up to tug on her braid. She yanked on it hard several times as she fought for calm.

“Laylah?” Donil stood still.

His concern almost made her run back to him for comfort, but she stopped herself. Barely. “Whew! Look at the time. I told Jacques an hour. I’d better get a move on or he’ll worry.”

“Laylah.” Donil tried to reach for her, but she evaded him, a feat in itself since she was on crutches. She was out of the room and halfway down the hall before he caught up to her.

“Laylah!”

“No! Please, don’t! I can’t do this. If I touch you, then I’ll start to hope and then it’ll be dashed. Please, I need to go home!”

Donil ran his fingers through his hair and regarded her. After a moment, he nodded. “Mom will take you home.”

“Oh, no. I can’t ask that of her. I can take a cab.”

“No. No cab, Laylah. You’re our guest and it would be rude to do that. Besides, she wants to take you. She has patients out that way that she needs to visit so it’s not a hardship to take you home.”

“If you’re sure?” Laylah was tugging on her braid as if her life depended on it.

“Yeah, I’m sure. Mom!”

“Keep your shirt on, Son, I’m coming. Yes, Dear?” His mother emerged from one of the rooms.

“Laylah is ready to leave.”

“Oh, good! Come on. Donil, pick her up. Get her off that ankle. I’ll carry the crutches.”

“Hey! No! Wait a minute!” Laylah protested, but Donil scooped her up into his arms. She forgot to breathe as the smell of his cologne hit her nose rendering her speechless, her cheeks bright pink in mortification.

Donil took her to his mother’s truck and put Laylah on the passenger side. His mother put the crutches in the truck bed.

Donil lowered the window, closed Laylah’s door and leaned on it. “I’ll see you soon, Beautiful.”

“I’d like that,” Laylah whispered, her shy gaze met his teasing one.

“You’re adorable when you blush.”

Laylah gasped and tugged her braid. He thought she was adorable? A handsome guy liked her! Heart soaring, she mumbled a thank you. His chuckle made her look up.

“Bye, Beautiful.”

“Bye, Donil.” She waved as Kattcha started the truck. They pulled out and Laylah watched Donil until they rounded the bend and the cabin was no longer visible. She closed her eyes and began savoring the memories she’d made.
