Trophy Husband by Lauren Blakely Interview and Promo Post

Sunday, May 26, 2013

 

ABOUT TROPHY HUSBAND:

Sometimes you can't help falling in love, even when you try to do the opposite...Successful fashion blogger McKenna Bell has spent far too long protecting herself after the way her ex-fiancé left her at the altar for a college chick he met the night of his bachelor party. Loving again, trusting again, well, that's just not in the cards. Especially now that her ex is back in town with his new woman, demanding custody of McKenna's favorite creature in the whole world--her dog. No effing way. McKenna's had enough of him, and she decides to even the score by finding her own hot young thing -- a Trophy Husband. Sure, she's only twenty-seven, but doesn't that make it even more fun -- and infuriating to her ex -- to pursue a younger man? When she declares her intentions on her daily blog, her quest quickly skyrockets in popularity, and that's when Chris enters the picture, and he’s got all the assets. He's handsome, successful, and turns her inside out with a kiss to end all kisses, the kind that makes you feel like a shooting star. But loving again could mean losing again, and it's so much easier to focus on getting even, isn't it? Unless, you just can't help falling in love. Which means McKenna will have to come face to face with what she really wants in life -- protecting her heart from hurt, or letting go of her fears of a new beginning.

ABOUT LAUREN BLAKELY:

Lauren Blakely is an unabashed fan of clever jokes, toast, and good guys in novels. Like the heroine in CAUGHT UP IN US, she thinks life should be filled with movie kisses and coffee drinks. Lauren lives in California with her husband and children, and spends her days writing both true stories and make-believe ones.

Interview:

1. Where were you born and where do you call home?

I was born in New Jersey and now I live in California and am a Cali girl through and through.


2. Tell us about something that has just/recently happened in your life that you would like to share?

My daughter just had her eighth birthday, and she informed me that she didn’t want a cake for her party. She only wanted to serve Klondike bars to her friends. We bought her the ice cream bars, but I was so sure she and her friends would be disappointed without a cake, so I picked up a dozen cupcakes (I can’t bake!). As it turns out, she knew best and I was left with 11 of 12 cupcakes. Want to guess who ate the one cupcake? Me! I suppose that whole “what would you do for a Klondike bar” has some bearing to reality after all. Though I did give the cupcakes to the parents at pick-up. They had no problem consuming them.




3. If you had to sum up trophy husband in 30 or less words, what would you say?
Trophy Husband is about falling in love when you’re trying to do the opposite. In the story, McKenna embarks on a quest for a trophy husband because she thinks it’ll help protect her from past hurts, but along the way she meets someone who rocks her world.


4. If your book was made into a TV series or Movie, what actors would you like to see playing your characters? Please send me pics lol!!!

I’m a big Blake Lively fangirl and I definitely see her as McKenna because of her style and because she can play tough but vulnerable. And Jessie Pavelka would be a terrific Chris because he has the whole blond, California, happy-and-gorgeous look working for him. Or the Zesty Guy. I like him too.

5. List 3 books you just recently read and would recommend to readers?

I am currently reading the romantic thriller Midnight Train to Paris and it’s quite captivating. Insatiable by Cari Quinn is fantastic for erotic romance -- it’s intensely romantic and very sexy. I also loved Rock with Me by Kristen Proby because it’s sexy, sweet, funny and very family-centric.


6. What is Your Favorite Wine? I don’t drink. But I do think white wine looks quite pretty in a nice bottle especially the really light ones!

7. Is there an Author that you would really like to meet in person?
I am dying to meet my indie besties in person! Monica Murphy, Kendall Ryan and Melody Grace! I want to give them all hugs!


8. What authors have inspired your work?
The Time Traveler’s Wife is my favorite romance of all-time, and I also love French Lessons by Ellen Sussman. Recently, I’ve drawn inspiration from romance writers such as Katee Robert and Samanthe Beck, because they both can capture the feelings of falling in love and falling in lust so well. I also have to give Sophie Kinsella a tip of the hat for her humor.


9. Are you currently working on any upcoming projects?

Yes! I’m currently working on Playing With My Heart, slated for a late summer release, as well as a hot firefighter series. In addition, my novel The Break-Up Album releases in October with Entangled, and that’s my rock-star-in-love story!
