Blog Tour: Q & A with Jennifer Haymore

Jennifer, Thank you for joining me during your blog tour and answering a few questions!! I look forward to reading SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS.

  1. Who would you choose to play Olivia and Max in the movie version of SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS?
    • Olivia-Dakota Fanning in a few years Max-Sam Worthington



  1. Who are your favorite authors to read?
    • I have eclectic tastes in authors and I read everything from literary fiction to romance to horror. My favorites vary at any given time. Right now, I’m enjoying reading fantasy author Jacqueline Carey.
  2. Can you tell us your best fan encounter story?
    • After my first release (A HINT OF WICKED), I figured no one knew me, but when I did my first book signing at Barnes and Noble, a fan came rushing up to me telling me how much she loved the book! I was blown away, speechless from the fact that not only had someone read it, she actually enjoyed it. It was awesome. :D
  3. How fun! You can read my review of A HINT OF WICKED here. What's next for you?
    • I'm getting 2012 started with a bang...two releases in one day! First of all, there's the ebook special, ONCE UPON A WICKED NIGHT, Donovan Book 1.5, and then there's the full-length novel, SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS, Donovan Book 2. Both books release on February 1!
    • To celebrate, I'm going to party, and I hope you all will attend! For the whole month of February, check back at my website often for fun games, contests, and prizes. Take the quiz to see which Donovan sister you are, and win one of the fantastic prizes I'm giving away, including a $100 gift card to Victoria's Secret, books, romance baskets, and more!

Review: Paydirt by Paul Levine


Bobby Gallagher has it all. A great job as a lawyer for the Dallas Mustangs, a beautiful wife who he adores and a super intelligent son. But the owner of the team, his father-in-law, keeps making him compromise his ethics. After being told to buy another football player out of trouble, Bobby has had enough. He tries to fight back but ends up losing everything, including his family.

Two years later he is broke working as a chauffeur and bookie and still mourning his losses. When a known mobster comes to Bobby with a bet he knows he can win the trouble begins and to get out of it and win his family back Bobby has to do the unimaginable.... fix the Super Bowl.

Paydirt was one of those books that has characters that stay with you long after the book is finished. I so wanted to know more about Bobby and his family. The story was a fast and engaging read. I loved the way Levine built up the suspense about the super bowl while still keeping the story believable. This is a highly recommended read for anyone who loves a great fiction read. I am definitely a new Paul Levine fan.

Review: Hell's Corner by David Baldacci



Camel Club member Oliver Stone wants nothing more than to lead a peaceful life under the radar as a cemetery caretaker but when he is asked by the president to take on a mission involving a Russian drug connection, Oliver has no choice but to go back to work for the government. Pondering his choices while sitting in Lafayette Park, directly across the White House, Oliver is witness to a bomb going off and suddenly he has a new task. Figuring out who planted the bomb and why.

Hell’s Corner is the fifth book in the Camel Club series which I’ve loved up to this point but this one was a little too over the top for me to enjoy. Oliver is an old man and we’re supposed to believe that there was no one else more qualified to deal with the Russians. There was an explanation that Oliver was “Old School” and those techniques were needed on this mission but I’m still not buying it. Thrown in the mission detour and fellow Camel Club members acting foolish and have to say that I think this series has jumped the shark and Baldacci needs to go back to writing the seriously twisted plots that made me a fan of his writing.

This week's question

Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?


A: Classics! I read to be entertained and I've found that the classics are just too stuffy and hard to get through. I like my books to take me away to another world not to make me concentrate on understanding what the heck they are saying!
