Holiday Affair by Annie Seaton
This is an adult contemporary romance novel (Rated NC-17)
♥♥♥♥
(Four Sun filled Hearts)
Book Summary
Staid professor Lissy McIntyre believes that choosing a mate should be based on common sense, not runaway passion. And she would certainly never pick a rolling stone like Nick Richards for long-term love. But a red-hot, tropical romance? Oh, yeah. He’s got a body just made for sinning and his sizzling kisses leave her senseless.
When Nick blows into town, he’s stunned to discover that his no-nonsense new neighbor and co-worker is the same sultry creature he seduced for one night of forbidden island pleasure. He’s unaccustomed to staying in one place for long, but he just can’t seem to keep his hands off the multi-faceted woman. Will Nick break loyal Lissy’s heart or will she be the one woman he simply can’t walk away from?

My Review
At first, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen in this
story as I don’t read blurbs most of the time because a lot of them give too
much of the story away. So imagine my
surprise as events started to unfold. I
wanted to roll my eyes at the string of one and a million events that led to
how this story was set up. However, I
was transfixed in wondering how it was all going to play out.
This book almost crossed one of my taboos, but thankful it
was a near miss. There are just certain
moral codes, I can’t cross while reading.
This one treaded on the line, but didn’t cross it. It deals with
brothers and I’ll leave it at that. Thankfully, it wasn’t a close call as much
as it almost felt like.
Okay, no more talking in codes. I did enjoy this book overall. It was a light read with a good mix of angst,
drama, romance, and a really hot guy to keep me reading in one setting. Go out and get it ladies.
My book boyfriend.... After my quick interview.
Annie Seaton, thanks for joining us today to talk with us.
1. WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS STORY?
This story has been in my head for years and was a combination of my
favourite settings (tropical islands) and a workplaces I had experienced
(the academic setting.) I love to play with characters and see how
opposites attract, although in this case, they weren’t really so
opposite when the truth came out! I loved the premise of a one night
stand gone wrong and thought it would lead to an interesting story...so
Holiday Affair was born!
2. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT PROJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON?
I am currently working on the other two books in the Affair series.
These books follow the search for happily-ever-after by Nick’s
brothers—Tom who buys a marina and finds love on an Italian island—
and Alex who is in the outback of northern Australia and owns an
exclusive resort. Both of them meet two very different women. You will
have to read the stories to experience the highs and lows of their paths
to love in two exotic locations.
3. WILL YOU HAVE ANY MORE RELEASES THIS YEAR?
I am hoping that Italian Affair will be finished in time for publication
in 2012 but no dates as yet.
The sequel to my steampunk novella –Winter of the Passion Flower,
which is called Summer of the Moon Flower is planned for a December
release.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT WRITING?
I love creating characters and putting them in exotic settings. The
problem is when I have created them, they take on lives and wills of
their own and they lead me into the action! I usually have an ending
planned and often it just doesn’t work out that way. My paranormal
novella—Blind Lust— is a perfect example of that. Two guys—a
warlock and a country and western singer. Who does she end up with?
Kept under wraps until the very end of the book and the readers love
it!
5. WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I am totally focused on my writing and enjoy meticulous research into
settings and characters. I was a librarian for many years and love
research!
Thank you for having me!
