Free Trial (Tara Taylor Quinn)

Here it is...My offering in the launch month of the longer, more in depth, more compelling Superromance.  Today's Superromance. 

I want to say, first, that as part of the 'new' Super launch Harlequin is giving away an e-book anthology - completely free in all e-book formats available without coupon at all e-book retailers.  It's called A Taste of Romance and consists of four novellas representing four different Harlequin publishing programs, one of which is Superromance.  They asked me to write a story attached to The Truth About Comfort Cove.  And 'The Good Girl' was born.

Now back to my regularly scheduled program...The Truth About Comfort Cove!

I hold it up to you without reservation.  Without the least bit of trepidation or nervousness.  A first for me.  But this book doesn't need me.  It exists on its own.  Stands on its own.  (Funny, ha ha, it's part of a trilogy!)  It's not the plot, or where the story falls in a series that carries this book.  It's the people.  They came alive in a way I have NEVER had characters come alive.  And that's saying a lot since I've become very attached to many of my characters.  One, Kelly Chapman, still feels like a friend I carry around with me.

But Lucy and Ramsey...they aren't my people, like Kelly Chapman is.  Lucy and Ramsey are their own people.  They had a story to tell.  And they didn't let me in on it ahead of time.  Each day I would sit down to write and THEN they would take me on their journey.  It was the most uncomfortable writing experience...and yet, the most rewarding.

It was about trust.  Something I tend to struggle with in my personal life sometimes.  And here was my writing life - the life that I have been certain about since I was fourteen years old, the life that sustains me - and I was being forced to trust in the most elemental way.  I didn't want to do it.  Didn't really intend to do it.

And Lucy, in particular, gave me no choice.  She was on a mission and there wasn't anything that was going to stop her.  Not Ramsey Miller.  Not her alcoholic mother.  Not her boss.  And not me.  Most particularly not me.

I got to be a reader again while I was writing the book!

The end result...a book that I can recommend to you, whoever you are, with complete faith that I am giving you a real reading experience.  It's a book I have read multiple times, and I have been drawn into the story each and every time.  It's a book I will read again.

If you have already read the book, please click on the link up there and leave a review...good or bad...we are looking for honest opinions for the 'new' Supers.

And...out of curiosity...how long have you been a reader and how many books do you read in a month?  I just heard a book a dayer bashed because the woman doing the bashing didn't believe anyone could read so many books.  I started reading when I was fourteen and read a book a day until I started writing full time.  Now I average one book every two months, other than my own.  Because I am writing four a year...
