Virtual Book Tour + #Giveaway: The Perfect Lap by Sedona Hutton @SedonaHutton @GoddessFish
The Perfect Lap
by Sedona
Hutton
GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
BLURB:
His
job is to drive fast. Hers is to put the brakes on him. When sparks fly, will
love cross the finish line?
AJ Ryan is a
publicity nightmare. After a questionable photo surfaces and his biggest
sponsor threatens to pull out, the NASCAR champion admits it might be time to
hit the brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just
where to start… too bad she revs his engine so loudly he can barely think
straight.
Ella Fisher’s career
is a welcome distraction from her poor taste in men. Fresh off another easily
avoidable heartbreak, rehabbing AJ’s career is just the diversion she needs.
But when the pulse-pounding client actually listens to her advice, Ella wonders
if there’s more to the man behind the hot mess.
When Ella is granted
guardianship of three boisterous children under the misconception that she and
AJ are a couple, AJ surprises her by going along with the charade. Before long
they find themselves in a make-shift family that feels more real than pretend.
As their professional
relationship takes a hard turn for the personal, a single overheard
conversation could make it all go up in flames. Will Ella and AJ’s romance hit
the wall, or will love take the checkered flag?
The Perfect Lap is
the second standalone novel in the Racing Hearts of Serenity romance series. If
you like bad boys with a heart of gold, strong women, and love stories with a
new age twist, then you’ll adore Sedona Hutton’s fun, sexy tale.
Excerpt:
“I bet you have a beautiful smile,”
he drawled, then lowered his mouth to hers.
She should have pulled away—she
didn’t know this man from Adam. But everything inside her protested. After
gazing into each other’s eyes, she felt like she knew him intimately.
His lips were warm and tingly, his
kiss pure perfection…and he drew back way too quickly. He blinked those deep
blue eyes and gave her a lazy grin. “I knew it.” He rubbed the pad of his thumb
over her lower lip. “Beautiful.”
That’s when she realized she was
smiling.
He rose, and she gave him a quick
once over, taking in the sexy stubble on his face, the taut muscles of his
chest, his lean physique. As good old-fashioned lust rolled through her like a
quick-moving thunderstorm, she silently bemoaned her situation. This was a hell
of a time to have a newly implemented man-ban.
“Keep smiling.” Stuffing his hands
in his pockets, he winked at her. “It suits you,” he added in that low, sexy
drawl. Then he sauntered off.
Her breath caught as she spun around
to gape at him. He’d just kissed her and now he was leaving? She contemplated
calling him back, then reconsidered. She had other fish to fry.
Even so, she couldn’t stop herself
from tracking his every move as he swaggered toward the party, his backside
looking every bit as fine as the rest of him. Pressing a hand to her chest, she
let out a slow exhale. Even though she was one-hundred percent committed to her
man-ban, she could admit—at least to herself—that the sexy, charming stranger
had intrigued her.
Interview
with Sedona Hutton
What
is the sweetest thing someone has done for you?
After a motorcycle accident involving a car smashing into
our bike (I was sitting on the back,) my foot was in an air cast. For weeks, I
couldn’t put pressure on my right foot or leg, so I needed help with almost
everything. During this time, I came to appreciate the little things, like the simply
ability to retrieve a glass of water. My husband was my knight in shining
armor. He waited on me hand and foot, and supported me not only physically, but
mentally and emotionally, too.
How
would you spend ten thousand bucks?
I would take my extended family (including my grown kids,
grandkids, and fur-babies) on a nice vacation. I would give any remaining money
to charities supporting kids and animals.
Where
do you get your best ideas?
Outside! Whether I’m walking in the fields, out on a
boat, riding a motorcycle or taking a spin in our topless Jeep, I find
inspiration in nature.
What
comes first, the plot or characters?
Definitely the characters. I start with deep characterization,
and develop everything else from that.
What
does your main character do that makes him/her special.
Race cars—AJ Ryan is most confident on the track racing
in the Monster Energy Series. As the story progresses, AJ learns he’s good with
children. He feels special when he’s able to help the kids by sharing wisdom he
received from his beloved granddad.
