Make You Feel My Love Excerpt

Excerpt:

Ask Me Anything (well, almost anything) #AMA #askmeanything #romancereaders #romanceauthor #contemporaryromance

Have you heard of AMAs?

Otherwise known as Ask Me Anything?

Today, I want to try it. 

Reply with any question - respectfully, of course.

Do you have a question about a book?

A story question?

Background?

You can ask questions about me, too.

In case you're new - or forgot why you're here - I'm Carla Krae, 45, with a tech guy and 5 cats, all rescues. I write contemporary romance, starting with Jacob and Beth and his rockstar ambitions. I first published in 2011.

Reply to this post with your thoughts and I'll try to answer honestly! Cool?

Let's chat,

Carla

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG release day! #romancereaders #contemporaryromance #bookrelease #romanceduet #singledadromance #secondchanceromance

When We Were Young is live TODAY! 

Kate was my best friend and secret dream girl and I let her go.

Twice.

Yeah, I know, not my finest moments, but they seemed right at the time.

Now, she’s back in town for our twentieth high school reunion and I want to know everything—especially did she miss me? A newly-single dad of little ones, my focus shouldn’t be romance, but Kate was always my weakness.

She makes me feel alive for the first time in months, I’ve missed our closeness from the past, and Mom loves her like a daughter. My kids even like her instantly. I want her no matter how much it complicates our lives.

Kate Carson will finally be mine.

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Let's go Behind the Scenes of THE DRUMMER! (spoiler alert) #rockstarromance #holidayromance #Christmas #behindthescenes #romancereaders

THE DRUMMER inspiration...

First, I want to invite you to Romance Gone Wide! Don't use KU and want help finding more books and authors to support? Come join us.

And now...*mild spoilers* 

If you read my Author's Note at the end of The Drummer, you know a lot went into creating this story.

But even if you haven't, let me share some of my references! When an author does research for a book, we might spend days learning in order to write one paragraph, or two minutes to find something that ends up critical to the whole story. 

Here are a few of my favorite things in this story.

THE DRUMMER is live!

The Drummer (West Coast Soulmates #3)

Smashwords | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | Eden Books | Google Play | Amazon | 


Lincoln and Michaela were introduced in A Rockstar Christmas Wedding.

Lincoln Adams was only supposed to be a drunken mistake, the consequence of a little too much Christmas wedding eggnog and loneliness.

Once he’s asleep, I sneak out of his apartment expecting to never see the drummer again.

Except I left my guitar at his friend’s house.

And my earring on his floor.

An earring he uses to leverage me into a lunch date where he starts chipping away at the armor erected around my heart with his too-insightful mind and gorgeous green eyes. His touch heats up my body with a need I’ve never felt before. I won’t do a relationship ever again, but a surprise mutual connection brings us together for a week of sharing and sensual delights.

Seven days of friends with benefits, then we go our separate ways.

What happens in Virginia can stay in Virginia—right?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Billionaire Lumberjack is $0.99! #contemporaryromance #romancereaders #billionaireromance

This book is FULL of tropes: billionaire, lumberjack, mountain man, damaged hero in hiding, woman in peril, woman on the run, forced proximity, snowstorm, only one bed, and a hint of mystery.

 

Rescued by the billionaire lumberjack...

Lost.
Alone.

Freezing on the side of a desolate mountain in a massive snowstorm.

Until a rugged man with an ax saves me.

Waking in his warm, comfortable bed leaves more than one question.

How did I get here?
Where are my clothes?

And who is this handsome recluse with striking dark eyes and a grumpy demeanor?

The answers only bring more mysteries.

He doesn’t want me here.
Doesn’t want his secrets exposed.
I don’t want him to know mine, either.

But there’s only so long we can deny this sizzling attraction.

Only so long until I learn the truth about my billionaire lumberjack and our pasts come back to haunt us.

Grab this steamy stand-alone about a billionaire in hiding, the photographer who stumbles upon him, and what happens when they’re trapped together during a major snow storm with building attraction and dark secrets!
