BLURB ALERT! When I Moan: Good Girls with Secrets #2

5/26/2013

21 Comments

 
So I'm really, really excited about the new cover of Drawn: His Secret Toy, which is the first book of the series. I've seen the drafts and they're amazing. Once it's out, I'll definitely share the artist's name so you can all check his drawings. You'll fall in love with them, too, I promise. 

Anyway, it got me to thinking about Book 2...It will NOT have the same pairing though. It will be a companion novel of sorts, a single-title featuring a new couple. But Yuki and KC from Drawn will be there and have bit roles in it. In fact, when the new cover is out next month you will find the bonus chapter including not just Yuki and KC but a character from Book 2 as well.

The Blurb----
When I smile I think about how lucky I am, to have the three hottest guys in uni doting on me, wanting to spend all their time with me, fighting with each other for the right to take me home.

When I scowl I think about how unlucky I am, to have three crazy protective jerks as stepbrothers, scaring away every boy in town while all the girls hate me because all they see is me and never them.

When I cry I tell myself I will never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Dad and the three boys are everything to me. I am lost without them, and I'm so scared I will lose them one day because I don't deserve their love.

But oh when I moan, I tell myself it's just for work, that as a voice actress for a smutty anime it's my job to make the audience feel as hot and bothered as I am.

When I moan no one should know I can only feel this beautiful terrible need to touch and be touched by secretly fantasizing about him. The gorgeous superstar I'm going to be paired with. The one every girl wants to own, and the man I’m forbidden to have because he’s the stepbrother I’ve fallen in love with.

And so I just moan, the pain driving me crazy. One day, he’ll fall for another girl, and then I’ll have to close my eyes, pretending I love someone else just so my true feelings will never show.


Do you like it? I hope so. I'm not sure when this will be out - but I'm estimating it will be done by August at the latest. Not too far off, right? Next time, we'll have the excerpt out, maybe for our next newsletter or with the new cover of Drawn, too. We'll see!

Hi Farah! Yay! I'm so glad you liked Drawn. I'm hoping I can have this out late this year. It's a very detail-oriented book because of Seri's background as a seiyuu so it takes a long time to write. :) Thanks for writing btw!

I absolutely loved Drawn. You have a very unique and descriptive writing style that is easy to read and makes you wish you were the main character (KC). I love manga so having a character like Yuki totally had me swooning. I really can't wait for When I Moan. In the mean time I look forward to reading your other works. Thanks for the work you do creating these worlds or should I say fantasy's that most of us would never get to play out. Keep up the good work! :)

Hi Joyelle! Thank you for the really nice words! I love everything about Yuki and KC (don't care if I'm biased haha) so I'm really glad you like this book. If you like this book, you'll probably enjoy my Fangirl series as well. :) Excited to share WIM, too, TBH - November hopefully I'll have it out! :) TY for taking the time to reach out - hope you like my FB page so we can chat some more!

I really liked Drawn, the characters were just so cute and cool!Yuki is just so awesome I can't stop swooning over him, he can be cute and a total hunk at the same time, a fact that not all male protagonists in novel can emulate.And let's not forget the quirky heroine, KC, weird but adorable.
The story is just so surprising, kind of unique among most books I've read, and I read a lot.I just got it because the manga cover looked interesting, but as soon as I read first chapter I got hooked and finished it under three hours.The unpredictable nature of both characters made it hard to put down, the elements of manga and japanese culture made kind of exotic.
Thanks for writing this book!It's now in my list of top reads along with books by Rick Riordan, Tom Clancy, Richelle Mead(Gameboard of the Gods), Michelle Sagara, Anthony Horowitz, etc, the list goes on and on.Please write more and more stories, I've read a couple of your other books and they're really quite good.
Thumb up, and keep up the good work!

I have read drawn at least three times (sigh) and I don't as a rule reread books because I have so many of them. You always make me cry and I promise myself never to read your books again but as soon as a new one comes out there I go again. I am addicted and lacking in self control where your books are concerned they are like really really good chocolate.

I am so sorry for the late reply! I don't know how I missed this. :( Super happy you enjoyed Drawn, as you may know, it's my fave book of all that I've written. I'm not sure when I can get the sequel out but I hope to get its companion book (where Yuki and KC will likely play minor roles) out late this year. :) The title's When I Moan - did you get to read its excerpts?

I loved Drawn. Read like 3 or 4 times. But while reading Kellion I realised Kc and Yuri broke up. Please tell thats not the end of Kc and Yuri.
