Happy World Photography Day! I’m Libby Tanner and I’m delighted to sneak into Caridad’s blog today, as photographers all over the world celebrate the magic of seeing the world through a camera lens. Juliet Evans, star of my debut novel Better Than Gelato, has always dreamed of a career in photography. But she’s destined to take over the family dry cleaning business. Will a year in Italy change the trajectory of her life forever? And will she fall in love with the adorkable research intern who’s trying to sweep her off her feet? The answer to both of those questions is YES! If you want to read all about her adventures, check out BETTER THAN GELATO on audiobook, e-book, or paperback. And in the meantime, what is the best photo you’ve taken this summer? I managed to snap a pic of my 9-year-old just as he leaped out of a tree into a lake, and it might be my favorite of the summer.

Thank you to Caridad for hosting me today.

I’m celebrating the release of my 20th book with Love Inspired TODAY!

The Cowboy’s Forgotten Love: Book 4 of the Lazy M Ranch series.

After an accident, rodeo rider Lucas Morgan is shocked to discover his memories of the last six months are gone. He remembers his best friend, Harper Reilly, but recent events are a blur—like the fact he’s opening a rodeo school with her…and who he bought an engagement ring for. With Luc under strict orders to rest and not stress, Harper can’t tell him about the kiss they shared or the feelings that blossomed—and with big career decisions to make, she fears they’ve missed their chance. Is it too late to fall in love all over again?
On a personal note, this was such a fun book to write because Luc is the family joker. But with his heart on the line, I had a chance to dig deeper into his personality. Plus, the end of the series meant I could share the famous cinnamon roll recipe that is mentioned in all four books. Find it on my website. https://www.tinaradcliffe.com/

Tina is sharing one copy of The Cowboy’s Forgotten Love with a reader- a print copy (US) or ebook (international). Just visit Caridad’s Facebook Fan Page or Instagram profile in order to enter!

I’m so excited to have Tara Taylor Quinn with me to celebrate the release of her 125th (!!) book for Harlequin! I’ve known Tara for several years and it’s so awesome that she’s visiting and even better, she has a giveaway for you! To find out more about Tara’s latest release and how to enter the giveaway, please read on.

I’m so excited to be here to share my 125th book release month with you! This is a story that’s been with me a long time, nagging at me, until I finally gave in and wrote it. I didn’t see how it could work. I learned a long time ago that I have to get out of my own way and trust my muse, and this time, I failed to do so. Thankfully, my muse is stronger than my doubter. Once I got into the book, it flew. The people were real inside me. And the powers that be that are stronger than I am showed us the way. Seriously, three-quarters of the way through the book, and I had no idea how it was going to end. You’ve got these two people who truly love each other. They’re both good decent human beings. And their approach to life, their perspective of it, is so different, I didn’t see any possibility in future happiness for them. But their love just kept speaking to me. I should have known. Love is the most powerful entity ever. Anywhere. I failed to trust. But love, being love, was waiting with open arms to take me back. Then fate got involved. With a sense of humor, I’m thinking. It gave me this baby to deal with. I kept saying no, but the book wouldn’t begin without it. I just couldn’t get there. So, once again, I gave in. After all of this, it was no surprise to me when Harlequin (with several of my books completed in house) chose this one to publish for my milestone book.

So you have this, my 125th published Harlequin book, mixed with some pretty powerful life lessons, a boatload of suspense. Love. And a baby…

Baby In Jeopardy is the 17th book in my Sierra’s Web series. Published by two different Harlequin programs, these books are stand alone stories. They all involve Sierra’s Web, a nationally renowned firm of experts who assist my characters. To celebrate the release, I’ll be giving away an e-Book copy of the first book Sierra’s Web Book, His Lost and Found Family. To enter the giveaway, please comment on the post on Caridad’s Facebook Fan page at https://www.facebook.com/Caridad.Author.

I am so excited to have fellow author Laurel Greer here with me on the book birthday for her new release THEIR UNEXPECTED FOREVER from Harlequin Special Edition! It sounds like an amazingly emotional and happy book. I can’t wait to read it!

Thank you so much for having me here today, Caridad, and hello to everyone reading!

Does reading about food in a book ever make you hungry? Writing about it sure does for me. Caridad mentioned you love recipe posts, which is perfect because of all the food that plays a role in my new release, THEIR UNEXPECTED FOREVER. The hero, Matias Kahale, owns a pub and is starting a brewery, and the heroine, Violet, never says no to enjoying his culinary creations. When Violet mentions breakfast poutine one day (hello, pregnancy craving), he gets to work!

Here’s my take on the recipe, including my go-to Hollandaise sauce:

Ingredients:
1 package oven fries
6 breakfast sausages
4 slices bacon
4 eggs
2 c cheese curds
1/4 c diced chives

Hollandaise Sauce
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c melted butter
salt and cayenne to taste

Directions:

Prepare oven fries as directed on package.

Cook sausages and bacon in a skillet. Crumble sausage, chop bacon, and set aside.

Prepare hollandaise: Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a double boiler over just-simmering water, until doubled. Whisk rapidly. Drizzle in melted butter. Whisk until hot and thick enough to coat a spoon. Remove from heat. Add salt and cayenne to taste. Whisk periodically while preparing other ingredients.

Soft poach eggs, or fry over-easy if preferred.

Layer the ingredients: fries, bacon and sausage, cheese curds, eggs, hollandaise sauce, and chives. Enjoy!

About THEIR UNEXPECTED FOREVER

He is the best man in more ways than one…

The test is positive! And so is Violet Frost about being a mom. The hardworking midwife had almost given up. But a sizzling one-night stand with her brother’s best man, Matias Kahale, has rekindled Violet’s dream. Her fertility struggles are real, and after she was jilted years ago by her fiancé, this may be Violet’s best and only possibility to have a child.

Matias Kahale never planned on having kids—but this chance with Violet has sparked the pub owner’s desire for a family. Until now, he was never the commitment type. And Violet has all but given up on relationships. They both want this precious gift, but will nine months be enough to bring two reluctant-to-love friends close enough to find true love?
