This week’s spotlight is on Mari Carr.

I discovered Mari at the Samhain Cafe about 2 years ago.  She was my online drinking buddy, and we’ve been friends ever since.  I finally got to meet her in person last year at Lori Foster’s and had a blast.  Mari is the funniest, friendliest, and sweetest person you’ll ever meet.  If you do get to meet her in person, you’ll know what I mean. 

My favorite Mari Carr book is very hard to pick.  I haven’t read a bad one of hers.  Even ones she doesn’t like, they’re still good books.  But if I had to pick one now, it has to be Do Over.  This is her first book with Carina Press, and it’s not out yet, but I was fortunate enough to be able to be a beta reader for Mari.  Trust me when I tell you that you’ll need a box of tissues – and some ice water when you read this.

Do Over – Coming to Carina Press on October 4.

Sometimes once is not enough…

After twenty-five years of marriage, Faith Wainwright wonders what she’ll do next. Her kids have moved out and sometimes she feels so distant from her husband, Troy.

Right before their anniversary, Troy gives Faith an unexpected gift: a journey through their hometown to reenact all their “firsts”. Their first date. Their first kiss. And especially the first time they made love—only better.

Each stop on their tour becomes an opportunity for Faith and Troy to rediscover how explosive their passion could be. Now Faith knows exactly what she’s going to do—Troy, over and over again….

Don’t forget to head over to International Heat - Mari’s up all week and she’s got prizes too!
