Love On The Beach Blog Hop



Thanks for joining me here for Beachwalk Press's Love On The Beach Blog Hop!

I'm from Toronto, Canada and our summer is always cause for celebration considering how damn cold our winters can get! Sometimes, it feels like we're giving Russia a run for their money! We're so desperate for summer that as soon as the temperature gets above 0 degrees Celsius many will break out the flip flops!

But everyone knows, summer doesn't really start until you hear that one thing… that one thing that you've been waiting for since the temperatures starting dropping in September, and didn't start rising again until March, (sometimes April!)

The sound of the ice cream truck.

I heard it for the first time a few weeks ago and my heart filled with glee! Slushies, banana splits, chocolate dipped, chocolate/vanilla twists, snow cones!

I'm partial to the chocolate/vanilla twist myself. We've just spent six months suffering through a god awful winter and what's the first thing we run towards as soon as we can? The ice cream truck. Lol! Because as brutal as the winters get, that's how blistering our summers get.

Our beaches open up, but only a few of them are actually used for swimming because of environmental concerns which is sad, but after suffering through October to April, we're more than happy to just sit there and revel in the sun…while eating our ice cream.

As a part of the hop, I'm giving away a mini author swag pack that includes an ebook copy of my contemporary erotic romance with Beachwalk Press, Strawberry Wine along with a small E. Jamie tote bag and a bookmark. I'd first heard of Beachwalk Press after seeing their ad in a copy of RT magazine and I fell in love with their covers! I knew many of their authors online and heard so many wonderful stories about BWP that I knew I wanted them to be the home for Strawberry Wine.



Can these ex-lovers work together to save New York City's children?

Caleb and Laura were teenage sweethearts, poised on the edge of a beautiful future, then without explanation, Laura walked out. Now both are cops and have been partnered up to bring down a notorious criminal who is exploiting New York City's innocent children. Can they put aside old hurts to save the children, and will the flames of rekindled passion be enough to give their love a second chance?

I like to keep my ice cream flavors simple, so I can appreciate the taste, and the creamy texture. I usually reach for real vanilla bean or chocolate. kbinmich@yahoo.com

Tara said...

I'm sad to say...I'm lactose intolerant, so I'm one of those weird and rare people who doesn't eat ice cream. LOL. BUT I didn't always used to be this way. Before the LI thing hit me, I loved this place called Dairy Queen (not sure you have em up there?) and they had this like, shake but not runny enough to drink, with m&ms and stuff on top. It was called a blizzard. tchevrestt(at)yahoo.com
