​They call us the Firework Girls.

I’m Isabella. My comfort zone consists of a bank of test tubes and a Bunsen burner. But having to take a philosophy class to graduate from college—well, that’s causing a different kind of burn altogether. I mean, the hottest professor at Hartman is looking right at me.

Can you blame me for looking back?

Forbidden Heat will be $0.99 during the tour!!

Feeling dizzy, I back away from the table with heavy limbs. The girls I met don’t notice my departure but Justin Kirby does.
He’s right next to me with his hand on my lower back.
“I need to sit down,” I say.
“Okay sweetheart,” he says.He steers me away, past an empty chair.
“Wait,” I say, but he leads me to the basement stairs and we start to go up. I’m having trouble managing them.
I mumble something as we wind through the crowd on the main floor, bumping against a shoulder here and an elbow there. The music is pounding. I feel it in my body, but it sounds muffled, along with all the other sounds in the room. He steers me up another flight of stairs. He has to put his arm around me to keep me from tripping on the steps.
What's the matter with me?
There’s a long, dark hallway at the top, with several rooms breaking off on either side. Justin Kirby is practically dragging me along.
When he opens a door, I see a bed in the room and know I’m in trouble. I’m almost too out of it to panic properly.
All of a sudden, he half lets go of me, half shoves me into the doorjamb.
I hit my forehead on the wood, trying to hang on to something. There’s screaming and yelling—I’m hearing his voice, I think, and someone else’s, a woman’s voice—but it’s all confusion to me and now all I can do is think about the fact that I’m falling and can’t stop.

 This was one absolutely delicious read! The main man, Shane, was absolutely sizzling! Grrrr! I'd definitely try to get a few private lessons with him (at least in my head!) Isabella was definitely very likable as well, and both characters had wonderfully palpable emotions that I could truly feel. The storyline itself was very well written with some intricate sub plots and a few wild curveballs thrown in for good measure.The romance was very spicy yet sweet and had me eagerly lapping up the pages once they finally gave in to their irresistible attraction to each other. I was absolutely absorbed with this book from beginning to end and could barely rip myself away for a few minutes to touch base with real life. I really enjoyed this book and I'm definitely going to be checking out some of this author's other works now! I think I just found a new favorite author!

Congratulations on your new book! :) Did you always know you wanted to be a writer or has it been a more recent journey for you?

I've wanted it my whole life. I have a degree in creative writing, have worked as a book editor, and can't imagine doing anything else. Stories are my life. :)

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block and, if so, how do you overcome it?

Someone asked this over at Read Your Writes Book Reviews (the tour stop on May 19) and I gave a pretty detailed answer. The short answer is discipline will cure most instances of writer's block, along with increasing your writing skills in general. I suffered with it much more frequently when I was an aspiring writer, still cutting my teeth. I still hit roadblocks now, but instead of sitting on it and fretting for weeks/months/years, I just sit down and get to work. The solution comes eventually. :)
