Luscious Love – the one who writes

Another delicious title in the Luscious Love series…

Paisley, struggling with the effects of a tragic incident in her past owns a sorbet shop on the ground floor of a midtown Atlanta high-rise. She has developed an embarrassing crush on Stephan, budding tech entrepreneur and lover of raspberry sorbet whose company occupies the top floor of her building. Though she doesn’t realize it, her crush is very much reciprocated and then some but before he can act on his feelings Stephan has to deal with an internal threat to his business. Fortunately for both of them, he has cleverly figured out a way to navigate the perils of the Dark Web while pursuing Paisley…at least he hopes so.

This the third book in my Luscious Love series. All about the rather bohemian Blakemore family, and two of my favorite things, love and…FOOD!

Obviously the title is a play on the title of my favorite Prince song, Raspberry Beret. Yes, I still love puns. But it’s also related to the birth of my firstborn, Luke. When I was pregnant with Luke, I had bad morning sickness. Sorbet is one of the few things I could eat, and raspberry was my favorite. Except, as seems to always happen to me, there was no raspberry sorbet to be found in Huntsville, AL! Whit, my husband, who had checked every grocery store in town, started to sing, “All she wanted was raspberry sorbet, the kind you can’t find in any grocery store.” Hilarious right? I knew right then I had to write a book with that title.

I’m also excited about the giveaway for my favorite Senate candidate Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock. Donate at least $5 to his campaign, send me a copy of the receipt and get a free copy of the book!

First off, I can’t get over how gorgeous this cover is! Taria Reed, showed up and showed out. This is the third book in the Luscious Love series, following Buttercream and Milk & Honey. The story actually came to me a long time ago, when I was pregnant with my now 15 year old son, Luke. I craved raspberry sorbet like crazy, so, of course, it was almost impossible to find the stuff. I was on bedrest and being an absolute bitch about it, and one night Whit started singing Raspberry Sorbet, to the tune of my favorite Prince song, Raspberry Beret. I’d give anything if I could remember the lyrics, but they have, unfortunately been lost to the mists of time, but we laughed hysterically all night over them.

When Prince died, I knew I had to do an homage story for him as he’s meant so much to me. This story is it. With any luck, it will be out before Christmas. I’m trying not to make promises I can’t keep, but I will keep you posted on my progress.

I plan to get at least two stories out in 2020. My output has slowed significantly, and I apologize, but my real life is insane these days, and that’s not likely to change any time soon. Anyway, thank you so much for your nearly two decades of support and know that I love all of you so very much.
