paced, lots of steam, full of quirky you won’t soon forget, nor is it
one you’ll be able to put down.”
~DC Stone, award winning romantic suspense author

Jarrod’s latest novel has the mandatory sexy hero, strong heroine and
great action. Add witty dialogue and loveable side characters with
unexpected plot twists and you have another winner. ENTANGLED LOVE is a
must-read for every HEA fan in Romantic Suspense. ”
~Aubrey Wynne, author
“Cait
Jarrod has created a complicated world of secrets and intrigue that
will keep the reader glued to the page. As each secret reveals, the
story gets more complex instead of less until everything intertwines and
wraps together at the end for a satisfying conclusion. This makes for a
fun beach read, keeping you guessing and invested in the characters.”
~Katie O’Sullivan, author
“This
book was so well written with many surprising twists that you won’t
want to put it down because you will want to find out what happens next
and what new characters will show up. Entangled Love impressed me in
having everything! It has action, romance, humor and drama.
The
characters are extremely well developed so you can’t help but like them.
I especially liked Ryan. What a guy! Not only was he attractive and
successful in his business, but was kind and compassionate. Perfect! The
secondary characters added a lot to the suspense but Ryan’s butler,
Niles, was hysterical! I liked that not all the characters were good
guys. Warren was very bad, but this, again, helped the story be so
interesting.”
~Amazon reviewer
Interview with Ryan Cross:
Today,
I’m speaking with retired skateboarder, Ryan Cross to see if he’d be
willing to be the hero of my upcoming book, Entangled Love.
We agreed
to meet at a quaint bar not far from his home. Rudy’s, a log building
with surrounding acreage, the structure looks like it belongs in the
country instead of the metropolis of Los Angeles. Several tables are
full. I decide to sit at the bar.
A barrel-chested man walks over to
me and places a cocktail napkin on the counter. “Hello, there.” A smile
stretches across his face. The man looks more like a football player
than a bartender. Despite his overwhelming size, he makes me feel
welcome and lessens the nervousness I always feel before asking someone
if they want to open up their life for the world to read.
“What may I get you?”
I’m
thinking beer, but would wine be more appropriate? Maybe I shouldn’t
drink at all? Heck, who am I kidding? I’d love a beer. “Blue Moon, thank
you.”
“Put her beer on my tab. I’d like a Corona,” a baritone voice booms from behind me.
A golden-haired man with intriguing green eyes stretches out his hand. “Ryan Cross.”
The bartender, standing a few inches taller than Ryan, eyes him, nods, and walks away without responding.
I accept Ryan’s hand. “Cait Jarrod. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“You, too.”
The
bartender returns with the order and places the drinks in front of us
before moving to help another customer, still not speaking. Odd.
“So, you want to do a story about me?”
“Yes. I’ve read about you on the internet, see that you have skateboarding parks and you do charity work.”
“Is that all you’ve read?”
I wonder if he’s referring to the multiple pictures of him with different women. “Just about, yes.”
He
hesitates, so I add, “I thought you’d be the perfect hero for an
upcoming book – a charming, generous athlete who gives back to his
community. Perfect.”
The bartender scuffs and pushes through the swinging doors.
“Didn’t you say the story was for a romance?”
I
hadn’t decided on a specific category, maybe contemporary or romantic
suspense. My fingers will decide as the story develops. No matter what,
the plot will be an engaging love story. “Yes, romance.”
He laughs.
“You haven’t seen the photos on the internet. No woman is pictured with
me twice.” He pauses, wipes his face, and swallows some beer. “Almost no
one.”
I saw the images of him and a beautiful, blue-eyed blonde.
She’s gorgeous enough to be an actress while having the down-home
presence of being your best friend. Someone you’d instantly like.
The
expression on his face stops me from inquiring more. “There’s always
hope,” I say tongue and cheek. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”
He raised a hand. “No. No worries.
I cringe. The conversation isn’t going in the direction I want it to. “Yes, but I didn’t mean to imply.”
He sighed. “The thing is you’re right.”
“Then I have your permission?”
“You do. I just hope you get the story you’re after.”
I let out a breath. For a minute, I thought he’d say no. I have my next story. “Thank you.”

Catch Me If You Can in Lobster Cove
Lobster Cove is a fictional small town on the coast of Maine. It is quaint and quirky with a colorful history, a friendly population of charming residents, and a vibrant tourist business. It is home to research scientists and small shop owners, grumpy cops and sassy chefs. Back in the day, it was a bustling fishing town and home to many immigrants, from both the state cabins and the lowest decks.
The bodies of three missing women are found in Lobster Cove. Sheriff Lynn Lawton has no leads, and not enough staff to handle the investigation. When help arrives in the form of FBI Special Agent Jake Mackenzie, more than Lynn's job is at stake.
Jake never understood what happened between himself and Lynn fifteen years ago. To him, it was more than a summer romance. He loved her deeply, but she let him go to pursue his dream career in law enforcement. Now he's returned to sell his family's vacation home and cut his ties to Lobster Cove for good.
Will Lynn be able to keep him from learning the secret she's hidden from an entire town, or will Jake unwittingly leave her and their love behind a second time?

Excerpt:
Her eyes stopped on a tall, dark-haired man striding through the crowd with a confidence she remembered all too well. Her heart stopped. When he got to the rope, he lifted it, then looked at her as he came her way. Her deputy tried to stop him. When the man held up an ID, Luther stepped back.
She took a ragged breath. Her fists clenched at her side as he headed straight at her.
He couldn’t be here. Not now. Not ever. He was part of her past. He’d made sure of that.
It took him a minute to get to her. She spent every second willing her heart to still, her anger to subside. His ID was still in his hand. He was working out of the New York office, but she didn’t want him to know she knew that. Or that she looked him up at odd hours of the night when she couldn’t sleep.
“How did you manage to get this case?” she asked when he came within hearing distance.
“Lucky, I guess.”
If her heart had hammered before it was nothing compared to what it was doing now. It thundered in her chest until she could barely take a breath.
Of all the people in the world, the one she never wanted to see again stood in front of her, a polite smile frozen on his lips, questions in his deep blue eyes. He was bigger than when she knew him. Except for the few lines around his eyes, fifteen-plus years looked good on him.
She took a long silent breath. Jake Mackenzie had broken her heart years ago. How would she get through this without him uncovering more than a killer?
She broke out in a cold sweat that had nothing to do with the corpse at her feet.

Character Interview with Beth Kennedy by Chrys Fey
Chrys: For this interview I will silence the pounding rains and still the gale force wind to talk to Beth Kennedy, the heroine of Hurricane Crimes.
Hurricane Sabrina is a category 5 beast, so, first, I want to see how you’re fairing, Beth.
Beth: I guess you could say I’m fairing. Considering. It is nasty outside! I don’t think my house is going to last much longer. Pine trees are falling down, and mailboxes and stop signs are being ripped out of the ground. I wish I could see outside but all of my windows are tightly boarded. For all I know, my house is the last one standing on the block!
Chrys: What did you do to prepare for the hurricane?
Beth: I boarded up all the windows, a precaution I wish I had been more liberal about, but I can’t change that now. I also stocked up on water, snacks and first-aid kit supplies, which came in handy because both of us have needed patching up.
Chrys: Um . . . both?
Beth: Oh yeah! I’m not alone anymore. I risked life and limb, literally, to save a man who may yet kill me.
Chrys: Why in the world would he kill you?
Beth: Because he probably is a murderer! And we’re trapped together. Nothing good ever comes out of being stuck with a stranger in conditions like this.
Chrys: Can you tell us about him? Whoever he is?
Beth: His name is Donovan Goldwyn. I don’t know much about him right now, but I suppose I can give you a description. He has chocolate-brown hair and violet eyes. The combination is powerful. Then when you add his great body into the mix, you have a triple threat. He’s mysterious, hot and athletic, which makes him lethal. A killer can easily disguise his dark side with good looks.
Chrys: Where is Donovan?
Beth: In the kitchen getting ice for my shoulder, so keep your voice down! He doesn’t know I’m talking to you.
Chrys: *whispers* Despite your claim that he’s dangerous, and a danger to you, it sounds like you find him attractive.
Beth: If I didn’t find him attractive, I’d question my sanity. Actually . . . since I think he’s a killer and I find him attractive maybe I should be questioning my sanity.
Chrys: Well, I guess it’s time for a change of subject. If tonight were a normal Friday night, what would you be doing?
Beth: I’d be having a cocktail with a few of my friends from my self-defense classes. They are an amazing bunch. Then I’d come home, take a bubble bath, and relax in bed while penning a poem or two about my day.
Chrys: Sounds great. And if you were on a date with a certain someone with violet eyes, what would it be like?
Beth: *squints suspiciously* I don’t like what you’re hinting at, but I’ll play along. My ideal date would be a fun beach day. Sun, salty waves and scantily-clad bodies—What more could you want when you live in Florida?
Chrys: Because I hear Donovan returning I’ll ask one last question. Do you have any regrets?
Beth: Right now, I have a ton of them! I regret not finding some way to leave Florida. I regret rescuing Donovan even though I would’ve regretted it if I didn’t. And I regret the kiss.
Chrys: Kiss. What kiss?!
Beth: Oh, no! You said the regret question would be the last one.
Chrys: And that is my current regret. Thank you for your time, Beth, and I wish you the best of luck with Hurricane Sabrina . . . and Donovan.
Beth: Thanks, I’ll need it!

A Novel Adventure by: Robena Grant
Do you like to walk the terrain of your book? To me there is nothing
quite like exploring the location and setting for a novel. I like to
capture the sounds, smells, and the local dialect. Come on along with me
and explore the setting for my romantic suspense: Gone Tropical.
It’s the northernmost part of Queensland, Australia, or what the Aussie’s call it: Far North. If you fly into Cairns international airport you’ll then drive north to the fascinating Daintree rainforest, Cape Tribulation, and on to historic Cooktown. Go even further north you’ll get to Cape York Peninsula. This is called The Tip. It’s a stone’s throw from Papua New Guinea.
As you travel up the coast from Cairns, The Great Barrier Reef and its gorgeous islands will be to the east, inland there’s the Atherton Tableland, and further west the outback. My Aussie siblings, and my mom, stayed with me at an isolated lodge in the rainforest. It’s fabulous country where cell phones don’t often work, some roads require a 4WD, it’s hot and steamy and you’ll almost always need a hat. Insects, snakes, flies, jelly fish, stingrays, crocodiles, mosquitos, and an odd cyclone or two might stir your imagination. I know they all stirred mine. What an adventure. A perfect place to put a young American woman tracking a thieving ex-husband, and a P.I. sent to protect her.
If you’re looking for a romantic setting to warm your heart, and your toes, curl up with this romantic suspense/adventure and fall a little bit in love with Jake Turner. : ) Available as an eBook in all formats, and in print (not Jake, just the book.) http://amzn.com/B00HJE3UAC
