Working It by Christine D’Abo: Blog Tour, Guest Post, and Giveway

February 9, 2017 by Denise

working-itsynopsis

Nolan Carmichael is getting a fresh start—new career, new company, new life. The only problem is, he liked his old life just fine . . . until an accident robbed him of his health, his job, his self-confidence, and his ability to go out in public without having anxiety attacks.

Zack Anderson has scared away his last four executive assistants. So when he hires Nolan on a whim, he’s not too worried, since Nolan will be gone within the week anyway. Two weeks later, Nolan has made himself indispensable, completely reforming Zack’s schedule, life . . . and libido.

But in a company already torn by internal politics, one wrong step could ruin both their careers. And not only are they working to reopen Ringside Gym, Zack’s retreat when he was a troubled teen, but they also can’t help themselves falling for each other. If only the rest of their lives could go as smoothly as things do when they’re alone together.

Guest Post

Thank you for having me here today. I’m so happy to be able to talk to you about my new book, WORKING IT, which is book one in my new Ringside Romance series. Don’t let the series title fool you, this is low on the boxing and high on sexual tension.

As an avid reader of all things romance, I personally love it when authors take chances and play around with what we consider typical romance tropes. Those situations that for whatever reason, really work for us as lovers of romance. One of my personal favorite tropes is the whole boss-assistant dynamic. There’s something wonderful about the tension that can be created when two people are working together, under pressure and in close quarters, that appeals to me.

I wanted to take this trope and do something a little fun with it. What would happen if both the characters were gay? What if they were so vastly different that under any other circumstance they probably never meet, let alone fall in love? What if they worked day in and day out in an office together?

In WORKING IT, Nolan Carmichael is working through the trauma of a serious car accident. He gets a job as Zack Anderson’s executive assistant, a position that no one at the company wants. Somehow the two of them work through their differences and fall in love.

I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for PARALYZE by @jj_asher_writes! Grab it in KU!#OneClickNowmybook.to/paralyzeWhy you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Forbidden🔥Brother's Best Friend🔥Age Gap (21/34)🔥Forced Proximity🔥Opposites Attract🔥Grumpy/Sunshine🔥Bi-Awakening🔥Hurt/ComfortThis is everything I’ve ever wanted, exactly what I’ve spent the last thirteen years denying myself of, and it’s happening in a filthy alley with the kid I swore I’d never touch.*Carey*—twenty-one, flirtatious and sun-kissed, chasing a place that feels like home. His latest bright idea? Fly halfway across the world to a town he hardly remembers, to crash for the holidays with his estranged older brother who he's scarcely seen in the past sixteen years. Only to arrive on his doorstep to find that brother AWOL and the entire contents of his apartment strewn across the front lawn.*Tek*—thirty-four, exhausted, and barely holding it together. Deserted by his best friend and business partner, he's left to carry the weight of a tattoo shop in the aftermath of an affair that sent staff numbers from four to one in the space of a single afternoon. He keeps his world small, and his hookups controlled on purpose. Then Carey walks in like a damn storm, making Tek question everything he ever knew about himself. Including why he can't stop thinking about the golden tan of another man's stomach. Tek turns Carey away but desperation rewards his persistence with a job offer, and boundaries start to blur. Tek knows better. He's spent the last decade with the world at arms length with iron clad rules that he breaks for no one, especially not the sunshine-smiling younger brother of his runaway best friend. But the more Tek resists, the more Carey leans in, and the line between right and wrong starts to look too appealing not to cross.Abandonment may have brought them together, but loneliness is what keeps them close. And the onething Tek swore he'd never reach for again might just give him the extra strength he's always needed.#newbookalert #jjasher #mmromance The Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less

✨ Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for THE GEEK AND THE GHOST by @cambriahebert! Grab it in KU!#OneClickNowa.co/d/07PLBaC9Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Hero with a villain complex🔥Pocket-sized Geek🔥Over the top possessive🔥MC Rescue Fantasy🔥Banter🔥Chronic illness rep🔥Touch him and die🔥Size difference🔥Dude in distress (suspense)🔥Hurt/Comfort🔥Homeless MC🔥MM Romance I’m about thirty seconds from a toe tag and my own freezer at the mortuary when he materializes from the shadows and fights like hell to keep me breathing.I had no idea homeless disasters like me got guardian angels—or that guardian angels punch people and smoke—but suddenly, there he is: a hero dressed all in black who ghosts me so hard I consider calling a medium.But that would be a waste of money I don’t have.I thought I’d never see him again, but just as I’m about to eat a bullet, he appears, using his body to protect mine. I might have swooned—okay, fine, I do but only on the inside—if it weren’t for the fact he thinks bleeding is an adequate apology for implying I’m a prostitute and running off with my heart.Spoiler alert: It’s not.Now the man with a PhD in vanishing, a tattoo that totally offends me, and eyes with their own force of gravity is suddenly stuck to me like glue and being wildly inconvenient about it.And he won’t stop calling me a pipgeek. What even is that?He insists I trust him, but I can’t trust anyone, not even my own body. Unfortunately, when the resident drug lord calls in that favor I foolishly owe, things go from bad to catastrophic with alarmingenthusiasm.On the upside, having a villain with a hero complex for a stalker means staying alive will be easy.But not getting hurt again is a whole other story.#newbookalert #cambriahebert #mmromance The Author Agency ...

My review of: The Geek and The Ghost by Cambria HerbertI enjoyed book 1 quite a bit. And since we met Ghost and Rett in book 1 I couldn't wait for book 2. But I was...underwhelmed.The book starts with how they had met 2 years ago. I liked that bit a lot and was excited. But then we jumped back to present and picked up pretty much where book 1 left off. But it got...boring.Rett being a martyr ("I'll leave. I know you don't want me."), Ghost going crazy possessive of someone he hasn't seen in 2 years and there was almost no plot. There was a weak thread of a plot until more than 2/3 in and then something started to happen. Even then, one guy wasn't the least bit scary or intimidating-nor was the mobster we met at the end of book 1. It just seemed like an after thought. Ghost is supposed to be this complicated guy but, meh. And even though I loved Haz in book 1, Rett is too similar to him. Tiny, no family, broke, a bit chaotic and clutzy. Too similar.I am assuming there will be a book 3 because there was set up for it. But if the younger guy is a copy of these two, I will be even more disappointed.3 pieces of eye candy ...
