Author, author... Sofia Grey with CRASH INTO LOVE + giveaway

...read all about it !!




Thank You by Led Zeppelin


 

Music plays a huge part of my life and it feels perfectly natural when I’m writing, to weave it in alongside the story. I listen to music obsessively when I’m working on a book, and also when I’m curled up reading. One day I’ll either dedicate an entire room to being a library, or I’ll have a padded window seat to snuggle into. Until then, I’ll make do with a sagging-but-comfortable sofa. And if I have to put up with the TV in the background, well that’s where iPods and earbuds come into their own.

 

Where do you like to read? Do you have a favourite place? 

Want some exclusive swag?  One Lucky Commenter will get one of these gorgeous little fridge magnets, and yes, I will post international :)  Don't forget to leave your email address in case you win !!
 

 

A lovely, gentle song to read to is Thank You originally by Led Zeppelin.

 

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

 Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.

 Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.

 

I actually prefer the cover version by Chris Cornell.

 


 

 

In Crash Into Love, Cass thinks longingly about curling up with a good book to pass the time, but that’s before she meets Jonah, the much younger guy staying next door.

Jonah lifted his head and opened his mouth to speak. I braced myself for the thanks-and-good-bye spiel.

“Can I hold you?” I blinked. Not what I expected.

“I’d love you to.” Cuddles as well? Maybe this was all a sexy dream conjured up by my inner romance author? I rolled over, and he spooned around me as naturally as if we’d been doing this for years. One arm pillowed my head, the other lay around my waist with his hand cupping my breast. Soft kisses peppered the back of my neck, and a warm sigh tugged at my heart. Don’t even think of wanting more than this. He’ll be going home in a few days. Don’t spoil the moment.

I relaxed into him, turning my head occasionally to kiss wherever I could reach. The rain renewed its frenzied dance on the roof, and I smiled at my earlier daydream. I’d wanted to snuggle up on the couch, but this was a million times better.

Blurb:


Cass thought spending a month at a beachside hideaway relaxing and collecting shells would be the perfect escape to finish her novel. When she meets the dark and brooding and much younger Jonah, who's staying next door, her book becomes the last thing on her mind.

 

Jonah would rather stay home alone than go on vacation with his brother and their friends, but does his best to tolerate the situation after being convinced to go. But when he sees the beauty next door, he can’t avoid his attraction.


Together, they break all the rules, but will Cass be able to bring Jonah out of his shell forever, or will he leave her with only the crash of the surf to keep her company?

Author bio:

Romance author Sofia Grey spends her days managing projects in the corporate world and her nights hanging out with wolf shifters and alpha males. She devours pretty much anything in the fiction line, but she prefers her romances to be hot, and her heroes to have hidden depths. When writing, she enjoys peeling back the layers to expose her characters’ flaws and always makes them work hard for their happy endings.

 

Music is interwoven so tightly into my writing that I can’t untangle the two. Either I’m listening to a playlist on my iPod, have music seeping from my laptop speakers, or there’s a song playing in my head – sometimes on auto-repeat.

Review: Wolf at the Door by Sofia Grey



Wolf at the Door
Snowdonia Wolves # 1
 
by
 
Sofia Grey
 
 
Love can heal all wounds...
 
Pop star Lillian Hart is determined never to trust another man.  She has no idea that the wolf at her door is anything other than a wounded dog, much less the Alpha of the Snowdonia Wolf pack.  There's something about the wild creature that pulls at her.  Then a man with her wolf's eyes starts to invade her dreams, and reality and fantasy merge in a way that has her hoping, against all odds, for dreams to come true. 
 
 Lillian may have sworn off men, but Jake's not just any man, he's a shifter, and he's about to shift Lillian's world to make room for him.  He vows to claim her as his Mate, and when Jake makes a vow, he keeps it.  But Lillian wants to take it slow and Jake is not about to waste any time.
 
In this battle of wills, both discover giving in and trusting their hearts can heal even the deepest of hurts.
 
 
My Review:

When I was first asked to read and review this book, I was game because it was a paranormal.  Then I saw the cover, realized it would be a wolf book and I got super excited.  I love paranormal/shifter wolves and romance.  :)

It was later in the evening when I decided to start it to see how far I could get.  Well by 1 a.m., I could barely keep my eyes open but was so torn because I seriously could not put this book down.

Congrats to you Sofia Grey, for writing a fantastic shifter story !!!!!

I love love loved it :)  At 87 pages, it was the perfect length for me to read at one time but then at the same time it just wasn't long enough either because I didn't want the story to end. 

 I have to say I fell in love with Wolfie before the end of Chapter 1 :)   His protectiveness was immediate for who he recognized to be his Mate and was impressed that he had respect enough to give her a little time to get used to him before he scared the crap out of her.  And how cool to have the ability to invade someone's dreams?  That was a trait I hadn't read in any books before so I really enjoyed that.  I won't give you any more details though so you can experience it for yourself. 

This is an erotic novella and the electricity between Wolfie/Jake and Lillian was instantaneous, powerful and simply hot !!  I whole-heartedly believe there is such a thing as love at first sight, even though Lillian definitely fights it.  She was a scarred popstar running away from a bad relationship to hide in the Snowdonia Mountains at Lupus Cottage to heal.  With the simple gesture of taking in and caring for an animal she thought she'd hit with her car, she started a chain reaction that would end up having a profound healing effect on both of their lives.

I want to read this again....and again.....and can you please, pretty please... hurry with A Handful of Wolf (Snowdonia Wolves #2) :)

Absolutely, without a doubt 5 stars !!!  Kudos Ms. Grey !!!
