I’m so excited to say that WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER, #2 in the series, has also been getting rave reviews! Here’s what some of the reviewers had to say:

    Kirkus Reviews: “Pineiro’s follow-up to One Summer Night (2017) covers the same time frame from the alternate couple’s viewpoint, to sexy, satisfying effect. Connie and Jonathan’s trials, tribulations, and second chance at love are engaging and at times thought-provoking, touching on the power of love, loyalty, and friendship. . . Another visit to Sea Kiss will charm romance fans.”

    RT Book Reviews: “…a story about a love between two individuals that will not fade…readers will enjoy this summer-themed romance.”

    Amy Alessio at Booklist: “Realistic yet successful second-chance romance stories are rare and always popular, and this is an excellent addition to the genre.”

    Publishers Weekly: “Pineiro’s clever characterization ensures that Jonathan’s vulnerability and Connie’s deep-seated fear of loss will steal readers’ hearts. While a few well-worn tropes sneak into the story, the author, to her credit, makes them seem almost new. This story is sweet and spicy at the same time, and all-around satisfying.”

#ThrowbackThursday – #IWWGTakeover and My First Book Signing

I’m very excited to be doing a takeover on Instagram with the fabulous The International Women’s Writing Guild!

I am also very psyched to be attending my first IWWG conference in July! I’ve wanted to go for so many years and am honored I get to teach a course on writing Commercial Fiction as part of the conference. I hope to share with you all the info I’ve gleaned in nearly 20 years as a published author.

In all those years I’ve helped launch two imprints, have become a NY Times and USA Today bestseller, and have faced the challenges of a rapidly changing publishing market. If you’re attending I hope you’ll enjoy the different classes I’ve prepared for you!

Since it’s #ThrowbackThursday, how about a toss back to my very first book signing. That’s my daughter with me (who has also written a book). It was a very happy moment after many years of writing and trying to get published.

Please take a moment to check out the conference at http://www.iwwg.org/summer-conference #IWWGtakeover #womenwriters #womensvoices #womensstories #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #writingconferences #writingcommunity #muhlenbergcollege #authorsofinstagram #amwriting

#WednesdayWisdom – Connie and Smelling the Roses

I’m my mother’s daughter and that has it’s good and bad parts. The bad part is that I’m very driven to achieve which is why I identified so much with Connie Reyes, the heroine in WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER. Much like me Connie wants a partnership in a New York City law firm and much like me she finds herself stonewalled at a key point in her career. For me the salvation was my family and my writing. For Connie it’s finding herself tossed together with Jonathan Pierce again. Jonathan is almost as driven as Connie, but he also knows how to have fun and balance life and work. I really enjoyed putting them together so that they could both heal the wounds of their past and find a way to stop and smell the roses together!

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER which is now available for pre-order and releases on June 5. Also, don’t miss the free downloads of ONE SUMMER NIGHT, #1 in the At the Shore series.

#TeaserTuesday – A kiss is still a kiss . . . or is it?

Counting down to the June 5 release of WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER and today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite scenes in the book. I loved this scene because it was packed with emotion on various levels, but also had humor and hopefulness. I hope you’ll agree!

In this scene, Connie has just been helping her best friend Maggie with wedding plans. Maggie is marrying Owen Pierce, Jonathan’s older brother, and because of that, Connie and Jon are being constantly thrown together. Like any best friend, Connie is happy for Maggie, but also worried about how their friendship will change with Maggie getting married. She’s also feeling a little sorry for herself because she let love go during her summer fling with Jonathan.

Teaser

“Were you crying?” he asked and kneeled close to her. He could handle her stubbornness and the temper that she luckily kept leashed for the most part. He could even handle the iciness that warned him to stay away. But the thought of her crying just shredded his heart.

“No,” she answered way too quickly and rubbed Dudley’s head as he kept up his enthusiastic loving.

“What’s that on your cheeks then?” he pushed, needing her to admit it, not so that he could rejoice, but because he wanted to help.

“Dog spit. Your dog’s spit because I’m assuming this little guy belongs to you,” she said and urged the terrier down into her lap again.

The dog squirmed and presented her with his belly, jonesing for a rub.

As she obliged, Jonathan’s gut tightened. He hated that he was suddenly wishing he could get that kind of attention as well. But wishes like that were best kept secret because Connie had made it clear she wanted no part of him. And yet, something inside made him try to change things between them.

“He’s mine. When I saw him at the shelter a few weeks ago, I couldn’t walk away. Now that I plan on moving to Sea Kiss – ”

“You’re moving to Sea Kiss? To the mansion?” she asked with surprise.

He shook his head. “I only stay here because I know my father never comes down. As much as I love the family home, I need to find my own place. I’ve started searching for a house nearby.”

There was no doubting the look on her face and her obvious worry. With Maggie and Owen getting married and him right in the neighborhood, they’d be constantly thrown together. “Don’t worry, Connie. I won’t make it hard for you to see Maggie. I know how close the two of you are.”

A guilty splotch of color erupted on cheeks already ruddy from her tears. “It’s not like that. We’re two mature adults. We can handle being around each other.”

“Yes, we can. Like now. We’re talking. No anger. No worries.”

She huffed out a breath and looked away. “Right, no worries,” she said, but despite her words, something major was going on with her.

“If you want to talk about it – ”

“I don’t.”

He didn’t give up. With a smile, he said, “Or if you just need a shoulder to cry on . . . .”

She tilted her chin up in a defiant gesture that was achingly familiar. “I wasn’t crying. Like I said before, it was just Dudley’s puppy kisses.”

“Really?” He couldn’t resist the challenge. He leaned forward and cradled her chin with his hand.

Her gold-green eyes widened in surprise as he came ever closer. When he kissed the corner of her right eye, her eyelashes fluttered against his lips as she closed her eyes.

“Sweetest,” he began and shifted to her other eye. “Dog spit,” he said and didn’t wait for her protest. “Ever.” He kissed her lips, a gentle coaxing kiss that had her tilting into him and grasping his shoulders for support. As they moved closer, Dudley, who had been sitting in her lap, squirmed and barked a complaint as he got sandwiched between their bodies.
