Release Day for Kissing the Maid of Honor!

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Happy Book Birthday to KISSING THE MAID OF HONOR, the first book in my Secret Wishes series from the Bliss line at Entangled Publishing! I am so excited about this book for so many reasons!

The first reason is I have a total crush on Luke. I just love him. Have from the moment he stepped on the page. The second is Sela. She’s fiesty and passionate and someone I think all readers can identify with. There’s also the small beach town setting and the numerous secondary characters. Oh, and there’s lots of wedding talk. And cake talk. There’s talk of bacon (Luke demanded it) and wishes. Kissing plays a big role, too. Friendship. Siblings. Love. There may be some skinny dipping. And heartache. Did I mention the kissing?

I’m also honored and delighted to join an amazing group of Bliss authors… My release day pal, Paula Altenburg, Karen Erickson, Roxanne Snopek, Jennifer Shirk, Ophelia London, Cindi Madsen, Kelly Vitollo, Jenna Rutland, Tracy March, Coleen Kwan, Aubrie Dionne, Sara Daniel, Rachel Astor, and Natale Stenzel. You can find their books here.

Kissing her best friend’s brother never felt so right…

Sela Sullivan is resolved to be the best maid of honor ever, even if it means tolerating the best man. Insufferable, too-handsome Luke Watters is not only the guy who humiliated her at a kissing booth in high school, but he also happens to be her best friend’s older brother. Positive he’s the same arrogant jock, Sela vows to focus on her duties and steer clear of the frustrating—and frustratingly tempting—Luke.

As a world-renowned extreme-sports photographer, Luke is used to undertaking life-risking adventures. But risking his heart for the beautiful Sela Sullivan, who clearly still hates him for his rejection all those years ago? He didn’t see that coming. Sela inspires a passion he’s never known, and the more time they spend together, the more he craves her. But can he prove to the maid of honor he’s become a man of honor?

Next week I start a blog tour and have something really fun planned with my fellow Entangled author and friend, Jennifer Shirk. I’ll be posting all the deets later this week! I will be at Through Heart Shaped Glasses this Wednesday, though, if you want to stop by and say hello. It’s a new blog and I’m their first guest! I’d love to see you there.

Okay, I’m off to celebrate now…

hugs and heartfelt thanks,
Robin

First Kiss: Bliss or Miss?

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Let’s talk kisses. But not just any kiss. Your first kiss. That moment when you lean in, ready to lock lips with that someone special for the very first time. Your heart is racing, your stomach is quivering, your head is spinning. You make contact and then one of two things happens: you don’t ever want to stop or you can’t stop quick enough.

My first kiss was a miss. It happened on my front door step with a boy I’d been crushing on forever. When he finally asked me out I thought I’d die! We went to the movies and then he brought me home, walked me to the door, and proceeded to shove his tongue down my throat. It was wet and sloppy and yucky.

We never went out again.

In my May 13th release, KISSING THE MAID OF HONOR, a first kiss plays an important role in the story. A fun role because it stirs up conflict. And desire. Wishes, too. Do I wish my first kiss had been bliss? Hmm… I’m not sure. I mean everything happens for a reason, right? I will say future kisses were much, much better.

What about you? Was your first kiss Bliss or Miss?

It’s my book birthday!

Posted on April 26, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Crazy to think that one year ago today I became a published author. It’s been a pretty darn wonderful year. I had another book published. And next month, I’ll have another – the first in a three book series! *pinches self* Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and cheered for me, and made me smile with their kind words. Thank you to my publisher, Entangled Publishing. You’re the best. Thank you to my amazing editors. I am so lucky and grateful to have you. And most of all thank you to everyone who has read my books and/or added them to their to-read pile. You’ve helped make this dream of mine so very special.

Book Birthday & Giveaway!

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Robin Bielman

This week is a very special week for me. On Friday, it’s the one-year book birthday for my debut novella, WORTH THE RISK.

I love this story so much. Samantha and Dean are characters who want what we all do: to find the one person to make our life complete. They stumbled the first time around, but when they reconnect, they discover they can have the forever kind of love.

So, April 26th is a date I’ll always remember and I thought I’d celebrate this first birthday by giving away 5 digital copies! Yep, 5 copies. All you have to do is leave me a comment. Easy peasy, right? I’ll post the winners names this Friday, the 26th, so please be sure to check back. (Already read it? I’d be happy to gift it to someone on your behalf.)

Speaking of reading, I’d again like to thank everyone who has read WORTH THE RISK. Your support means the world to me! Thank you so much!

hugs,
Robin

Blissed Out!

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Happy spring! Today I’m over at one of my favorite blog spots, Ex Libris, sharing how I get started on a new book. But more importantly, I’m sharing some book news! I hope you’ll pop over there to check it out and say hello – there’s a giveaway! – but I’ve been bursting at the seams to share my news here on my blog, so I’m going to do that today, too.

I’m thrilled to share that I have a new book coming out in May with Entangled’s Bliss line! It’s titled KISSING THE MAID OF HONOR and I am so freaking excited about it! It’s the first book in a series that takes place in the fictional small coastal town of Cascade, Oregon.

It’s about a wedding and friendships and crushes and family. It centers around Sela Sullivan and Luke Watters, and I had the absolute best time writing their story. Sela wants to be the best maid of honor ever, but when Luke, her older brother’s best friend (and her best friend’s older brother) comes home for his sister’s wedding and takes over best man duties, well, things get complicated. Deliciously complicated. And fun. And romantic.

I’ll be sharing more leading up to my release day, so I hope you’ll pop back in for updates. In the meantime, tell me what you’re reading. I’ve been on a huge NA kick lately. If you haven’t read One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy, it’s a must read! And the sequel (coming out in a couple of weeks, but I was very lucky and scored an ARC), Second Chance Boyfriend, is equally awesome. Seriously two of the best books ever!

So yeah, this is me right now:

hugs,
Robin

Worth the Risk Goes Greek!

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Robin Bielman

The coolest thing has happened! My debut novella, WORTH THE RISK, has been translated in Greek! And look how cute the cover is!

I think I should take a trip to Greece now, don’t you? (I so wish!)

And just a reminder that this Sunday I’ll be participating in a multi-author book signing and would love, love, love to see you there! If you’re in the Los Angeles area, please stop by! Details are here.

Have a great weekend and happy St. Patrick’s Day!

hugs,
Robin

Private Practice Cover Reveal Day 3!

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Buckle-up, blog hoppers, it’s time for sneak peek #3 from my friend Samanthe Beck’s debut novel, Private Practice. The story is smart, sexy, and so funny you’ll laugh out loud, (which might cause you to choke on your drink…consider this a warning)! It’s coming next week from Entangled’s sizzling, smexy Brazen line.

We’re tempting you into the weekend with a final glimpse of the drool-worthy cover and a last little tease from Private Practice.

And now…launch the fireworks…the last puzzle piece and teaser from Private Practice!

***

“You’re going out of order.”

He reached beyond her and snagged a small packet from his nightstand. Her insides trembled.

“News flash, Doc. Order’s overrated. Besides, you’ve spent enough time staring at my ass. Seems past time I returned the favor.”

With that, he tore her panties off. She gasped, but when his tongue took a long, unhurried slide down her spine, all the way to the small of her back, the gasp edged over into a moan. He kissed a line across the top of one bare cheek, then the other. Meanwhile his fingers delved between her legs, stroking, teasing…forcing her breath to come in ragged pants.

“Tyler…please.”

“I am here to please,” he whispered against her skin. “Tell me what you want.”

“You. Inside me. Now.”

“At your service,” he said with such playful tenderness she didn’t know whether to laugh or burst into tears. Then she felt the hot, heavy length of him slide down her backside and all she wanted to do was hurry.

***

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks! Be sure to check the Entangled Publishing website next week for Private Practice and all the other terrific February releases, including Tessa Bailey’s awesome Brazen Protecting What’s His.

I highly recommend visiting Samanthe’s blog, too. Check it out here!

Private Practice Cover Reveal Day 2!

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Robin Bielman

Ready for sneak peek #2 from my friend Samanthe Beck’s very first novel, Private Practice? This funny, sexy story is coming to an e-reader near you next week from Entangled’s white-hot Brazen line.

We’re kicking off your Friday right with another glimpse of the drool-worthy cover and another wicked little excerpt from Private Practice.

Tune in here or at http://www.entangledinromance.com tomorrow for the last piece of the cover and one final teaser.

And now…cue the orchestra…the second puzzle piece and teaser from Private Practice!

***

“This isn’t chapter 3,” she protested as he brushed his lips over her thigh.

“Sure it is.” Lightly, he bit the other, and then followed up with a kiss.

Then he kissed in between. Her neck muscles dissolved and her head hit the door with a clunk.

His tongue traced the edge of her panties and delved beneath. She switched her grip from his shoulder to the top of his head, not sure if she meant to stop him or give him encouragement. He took it as encouragement, and sent his incredibly talented tongue on another pass.

“Tyler…” Was that whimper really her? “Y-you’ve got things backward.”

Through half-closed eyes she saw him smile. His grip on her backside tightened. “Backward, my ass. Sparky, prepare yourself for a lesson you’ll never forget.”

***

See you tomorrow!
