#WriteWed – Why I love the Jersey Shore and a Free Read

I live for the warmer months down the shore where I can take long strolls along the boardwalk, sit under my umbrella and read a good book, and get out in my little garden to plant flowers and vegetables. I love being near the ocean and seeing its constant ebb and flow and all the life within its depths – except for the sharks. Luckily no close encounters with one of them. I also love the shore in the winter when I get to savor its peace and majesty without all the summer crowds. I’m blessed to live there and I love sharing it with you in my books, like ONE SUMMER NIGHT. Luckily, this Top 10 Publisher’s Weekly romance is free for the long holiday weekend! So use one of the links below to snag your copy of this lovely beach read!

That’s a fabulous offer for a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Romance and a book that was also featured in the NY Times! If you’ve already read it, recommend it to a friend. Word-of-mouth and reviews are some of the best ways you can support your favorite authors.

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.”

#MotivationMonday Meets #ManCandy

I am just back from the Fall in Love with New England Conference and I had a blast. I’ll share some photos later in the week!

Today I have with me my friend LG O’Connor who is providing an excellent mix of Motivation meeting Man Candy. How did I get to that? Well, lots of us need motivation to get cooking and what better way to inspire us than Man Candy in the kitchen? LOL!

So here is some info on my friend’s latest project: A recipe book by the hero of her novel, Caught up in RAINE!

Please welcome LG O’Connor and Raine!

Book Description:
For the record, this cookbook was Jillian’s idea. So was the hashtag, #hotguycooks. She thought I should share my mad cooking skills with the world. Well, maybe not the whole world, but people like me who have partners with an aversion to kitchens. We can’t let them starve, can we?

For those of you who don’t know me, when I first met Jillian all she had in her fridge was a jug of water, a jar of mustard and a half loaf of bread. Her freezer was empty except for an old bag of ice. I thought, “Damn, what does this woman eat?” Now I’m the only thing standing between real food and Jillian living on a steady diet of yogurt, cold cereal, and chocolate.

This isn’t your ordinary cookbook. It’s more like a medley of favorite recipes, some seasonal, all done Raine-style. Check ’em out. I skew toward organic when it comes to ingredients, and where I can, I substitute a healthy option. #sorrynotsorry. Most of my recipes come with tips, advice, and a small slice of my life with Jillian. The goal: to make you look like a culinary rock star to your significant other. So, come on, step inside the Roost. Poke around and see what’s cooking. Pull up a chair and hang out. The kitchen’s open.

~Raine

Good morning! It’s a rainy morning here in NYC, but it can dim how excited I am about the upcoming Labor Day weekend, a fabulous giveaway that I’m having with some friends and the memories of an awesome anniversary trip to Hawaii!

#ManCandyMonday Chase & Natalie from UNDER THE BOARDWALK

I’m counting down the minutes to the release of UNDER THE BOARDWALK in the SUMMER HEAT box set! I hope you’ll like Chase and Natalie’s story since it was such a fun one to write.

Today’s Man Candy choice is Chase Smith, the hero of the story. I wanted a really upper crusty sounding name for him and Chase just fit the bill. The reality is that Chase is anything but rich. Chase grew up poor and had to work hard for everything he ever got. It’s important to Chase to be able to provide for Natalie, who did grow up with much much more.

Unfortunately that drive to succeed is a large part of what drove him away from his wife. I loved exploring how Chase tries to find himself again so that he can be the man with whom Natalie fell in love.

This is how I pictured Chase and Natalie during happier times, sharing some time on the Jersey Shore and just having fun!
