Romance Novel | Dani Jace. Romance Author

Today Jenny Hayut’s Holt Maddox from Shifting Gears in the hot seat. Tell us about your woman and how you met. Nicolette owned my heart from the moment I saw her swaying her hips in that chair listening to the band playing at The Rox.

What’s one thing you’d never tell her? Get off.

*Clears throat* I’m almost afraid to ask what’s one thing she does to totally turn you on? Smile…right before she talks filth to me.

Do you have a fetish? If so, what is it? *Snorts looking around* Wanna lock that door? Better if I show you.

Whoa! So, should I ask where you were when you lost your virginity? *Grins* you first.

LOL! It involves four wheels. Tell us your occupation? I do interviews with beautiful women…Grinning…I’m a bounty hunter sweets.

Back at you Big Dawg. And you certainly have him beat in the looks department. Nice tats by the way. How do you stay fit? Ask Niki.

So I’m betting she doesn’t owna a gym membership either. *winks* If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? Not leaving my mother.

Hmm… You sound remorseful. Hope that event is brought out in the book. What intrigues you most about Nicolette? How she got me to fall in love with her.

I bet it has something to do with shifting gears. What does she do that drives you crazy? When she tries to read a book while I’m lying next to her…naked..she’s not really reading anyways…How can she with me beside her?

Indeed, how could she? Tell us a secret no one knows? *shifting eyes* yep it involves tools…big ones

I really think Jenny needs to give you your POV in the next book. What’s your method of travel, muscle car, motorcycle? My Buick babe.

Is it special to you? First thing I ever called my own.

Heard that. Do you have any hobbies? Seeing how fast I can make a woman squirm while they ask me questions…..*laughing* Drag racing…nothing better than losing yourself to the rhythm of speed.. don’t you think? *grabs his keys and stands*

I could see where that’s addicting. Well, Holt, great to meet you and thanks for a refreshing, alpha male interview.

**Nods** Later Dani

Later Holt.

Blurb:

His chiseled arms are crossed over his worn t-shirt. It doesn’t take much imagination for me to feel those arms wrapped around me. My gaze trails to one of his tattoos, peeking out from the sleeve of his shirt. I flash back to lying next to him, my head resting on his chest, tracing its delicate lines with my fingertips, or when I was brave enough, my tongue.-Niki Stringer

“Fuck,” he breaths out, tightening his hold on me. “Baby, I’m trying to wait. Give you the time you need. But the way you’re looking at me right now…fuck. I know what you were feeling when I left, because I was feeling it too. You were pulling me, every fucking time I closed my eyes. I could smell you. I could feel the softness of your hair on my fingertips, the warmth of your body on mine. Every fucking night, baby. I couldn’t escape it.” -Holt Maddox

Meet Jenny Hayut, author of Shifting Gears

I was born and raised in Virginia, in a military town. I know you’re thinking it….yes…lots of hot men…in uniform…sweet…I know.

I am married and have two beautiful children. They along with our extremely spoiled beagle mix Georgia that we rescued from a local shelter, keep me busy. It’s really like four kids and me. Ya’ll know what I’m saying.

When I’m not working, or writing, or eating or sleeping (wait what’s that) I love to be outdoors. I’m on the coast so I love the beach. The Outer Banks is the shiz. Hiking and getting my hands dirty in my flower beds is another favorite.

Any given time you might find me reading a book, watching a race, signing up for a ghost tour, watching a vampire or a motorcycle gang on TV (yeah that one) or making plans to travel further south (it’s where my heart is). Oh and if you have heard…it’s true I don’t share my baklava…that stuff is sacred.

Thanks to Holt and Jenny for stopping in today. If you know a hero who’s itching for some attention, message me on Facebook or through the contact link on the website. I’d love to hear his Cocky Confessions – Dani

Today I’m interviewing Leslie Hachtel’s hero from her soon to be published novel, Captain’s Captive.

Welcome, please tell us a bit about yourself.

My full name is Robert Stuart and I am a sea captain.

How did you become a sailor?

I have been smitten with the sea since I first saw the ships coming and going in the harbor when I was a small boy. When I was old enough, I bought my own vessel and have moved cargo between ports ever since.

When did you meet your lover in Captain’s Captive?

The year now is 1723. I ‘met’ Marilee long before I met her. Let me explain…My first mate hired her as a cook on a crossing from England to the colonies. She was disguised, very effectively I might add, as an old woman. On our last night at sea, she came into my cabin without her masquerade. I have been madly in love with her ever since, even though I didn’t recognize her the next morning, as she was back in disguise.

Ahh, the mystery! Tell us something no one would believe about you.

I was seasick the first time I made a crossing. But I wouldn’t let it deter me.

**chuckles** Seaman are a strong-willed breed. Something you’d never tell lover?

The number of my conquests. A gentleman never tells. Marilee was my last, my forever. What I have gained in skill should only contribute to her pleasure.

No doubt! Is there anything you’ve done that could have landed you in prison?

I have acted the pirate in my younger days and plundered other ships, including those carrying the British flag.

Whose your best bud and what do you guys do for fun?

Tate, my first mate, is my best buddy. We have grown very close over the years and used to love going to pubs and doing some serious drinking when we were in port. Which included chasing skirt.

As they say, one in every port! Until you met Marilee of course. A favorite piece of clothing to remove from your lover.

The chemise. It’s such a silky thing and feeling it slip off her body —well, just thinking about it excites me.

The hottest thing Marilee has ever said to you. It’s actually ‘I love you.’

What intrigues you most about Marilee? Everything. Her beauty, her intellect, her courage. Plus, she is a very enthusiastic lover.

She’s a lucky lady. What worries you the most?

I will want to go back to sea and she will want to stay on land. I don’t want to be without her or our son.

Any hobbies besides sailing around the world?

Dancing. It is something I don’t get to indulge very often, but I love nothing more than holding a woman by the waist, and twirling with her around a room.

That sounds so romantic. Is there some place you’d love to travel to that you haven’t been?

I have always wanted to go to the Far East. That would have been my next destination, had circumstances not intervened.

Thoroughly enjoyed having you today, captain. I wish you fair winds and following seas.

Thank you, Dani, Captain’s Captive will soon be released from Black Opal Books. Look for the cover reveal.

Leslie Hachtel was born in Ohio, raised in New York and has been a gypsy most of her adult life. Her various jobs, including licensed veterinary technician, caterer, horseback riding instructor for the disabled and advertising media buyer have given her a wealth of experiences.

However, it has been writing that has consistently been her passion. She sold an episode of a TV show, had a screenplay optioned and has so far produced four novels, including two historicals. One of her romance novels, “Captain’s Captive” will soon be published by Black Opal Books. Her murder mystery, Harriet, is available on Amazon.

Leslie lives in Memphis, Tennessee with a fabulously supportive engineer husband, a wonderful stepson, Matt and her writing buddy, Jakita, a terrier.
