Lick Blog Tour - Interview with Kylie Scott

 

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas's plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

Today I'd like to welcome author Kylie Scott to the blog.  She's here to answer some questions about her new book Lick.  I don't normally do blog tours, but as you can tell from my review, this is a very special book.  **Also, look out for the giveaway details at the end of this post.**

I'm sure in your blog tour you will be asked a lot of questions about Evelyn and David but I wanted to focus today on one of the secondary characters who really stood out for me.  What can you tell me about Kaetrin?  She's not in the book all that much, but she's a total scene stealer.  

I know right? I think in a way Kaetrin really carried the book. It’s subtle, but it’s there.

Lick by Kylie Scott

Why I read it: I received a review copy from the publisher.  But (wait for it) this was also a part of my prize for winning the "name the band" competition.  (Actually, the name wasn't terribly original, the series was already called Stage Dive - I just piped up and said that would be an awesome band name).  The other part of my prize was that a secondary character in the book was named after me.  Kaetrin is an (awesome) (slightly slutty - but in a sex positive way) groupie with an AMAZING rack. LOLOLOL!    The author very kindly asked me to pick her hair colour and the colour of her dress for her second appearance in the book.  We had a lot of fun on Twitter with it.  I told her to go for broke - but please just make me hot!  (And she did, so: thank you Kylie!). She's not in the book very much and while I was tickled to see my name in print, that wasn't the reason I liked the book.  Fortunately, it turned out that it's a book I'm very happy to have my name in, even if Book Kaetrin is a bit of a skank (I say that with love).

What it's about: (from Goodreads)  Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is for certain, being married to rock and roll’s favourite son is sure to be a wild ride.

What worked for me (and what didn't): I'm a hero-centric reader but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good heroine.  I was actually pretty impressed with Evelyn.  She holds her own against celebrities and rock stars when she's out of her depth and in unfamiliar territory.  There was a certain feistiness to her which appealed very much to me.

I'm over at ARRA again...

November Round-Up

 On Paper/eBook 

New York to Dallas by JD Robb - B+  I listened to this one on audio when it first came out and finally got around to reading the print version.  I missed the secondary characters less in print - possibly because I knew that they weren't going to be there much going in.  I loved the Eve/Roarke angst in this one.

Favourite Quotes: 

"Hell it's so bad I even miss Summerset."

When Roarke made some sound, she turned narrowed eyes on him.  "If you ever tell him I said that, I'll shave you bald in your sleep, dress you in frilly pink panties and take a vid that I'll auction and sell for huge amounts of money."

"So noted," he said that thought: There's Eve.  There she is.   

and

 "...Your point of view is so noted.  Now let me tell you just the way it is.  If McQueen or anyone, got lucky, I'd pay whatever I had to pay to get you back.  And while I paid, I'd hunt him down.  And I'd find him.  When I did, he'd come to wish I ended him."

I love it when Roarke gets all alpha. *sigh* 

Hot Down Under

A Room with a View by Kylie Scott - C - very short story (21 pages) set in the same post-apocalyptic universe as her full length release (which is on my TBR) Flesh.  I reviewed this one for ARRA.


A Real Online Fantasy by Cara Ellink - B-  another super short erotic story which reviewed for ARRA. Two people who have been chatting (and sexing) online for a year decide to meet.
