Hold on to your highlighters! We have a lot going on today here in nerd land! We know we say that a lot, but today its a doozy! First and forermost we have our stop on the Falling for Mr. Wrong Tour by Inara Scott. Don't forget to see our awesome interview with Ms. Scott here.
Blurb:
Looking for Mrs. Right…
Single father of three, Ross Bencher, knows the kind of
woman he wants: someone predictable, reliable, and safe, who can give his kids
the security they deserve. Someone entirely different from high-altitude
mountaineer Kelsey. Kelsey bewitches him with her long legs and wild passion
and is about as far from his ideal as a woman can get, but try telling that to
his body. Or his heart…
Falling for Mr. Wrong…
When Kelsey agreed to fill in as a temporary nanny for her
best friend’s agency before a big climbing expedition, she had no idea she’d be
working for drop-dead sexy Ross Bencher, a man she can’t seem to keep her hands
off. She knows if she wants to bring herself—and her father—back alive from the
Himalayan Mountains, she can’t afford second-guessing, attachments, or
distractions. But Ross’s blue eyes and strong hands leave her gasping…and
questioning everything she’s ever known about love…
Excerpt:
“So you’re telling me after your divorce you made some kind
of inner pledge to only date Donna Reed?”
“Basically, yes.”
“And then you slept with me.”
He grinned, and the mood unexpectedly lightened. “Those were
my requirements for dating. Lucky for me, we never went on a date.”
Unwittingly, Kelsey felt some of the tension ease from her
body. It was really unfair that Ross’s smile was so warm it acted on her nerves
like a damn tranquilizer. “I think I understand. You think if you sleep with me
again, we’re dating. And that would mess up the whole personal vow thing.”
He paused for a moment, and then shrugged, somewhat
sheepishly. “Something like that.”
“But wait,” she said, holding up one palm. “You’re jumping
to a lot of conclusions, aren’t you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re assuming that I want to date you.” She tapped one
finger in the middle of his chest. “Look at this from my perspective. You’ve
got three kids and you live out here in the land of suburbia, with three-car
garages and trips to the grocery store every other day to buy more juice boxes.
Do you really think this is what I want?”
He had the humility to look slightly ashamed. “I hadn’t
really thought about it that way.”
Throwing aside all caution and reason, Kelsey wrapped her
arms around his neck. She could hardly believe she was touching him, but the
simmering attraction between them had taken over, and she could no longer fight
it. “Listen, tough guy. I don’t want to date you any more than you want to date
me. And I’d appreciate it very much if you’d keep your judgment about my life
and my choices to yourself.”
“But?” He lowered his face an inch, bringing their lips just
heartbeats apart.
“But I would like to sleep with you again.”

I live in New England now but I was born in New York City and lived in or near the city most of my life. It's where I met my husband--I was fifteen and a senior in high school! He was at both my high school and college graduations. We have a lot of shared, wonderful history.
After we married, I taught elementary school for a while. Then I settled into being a wife and mother but the desire to write was always there. I'd written short stories when I was little--the first, which I illustrated myself, I wrote when I was seven! I never really stopped writing and one day I looked in the mirror and said, "Okay, Sandra, you've always wanted to be a published writer. Maybe it's time you did something about it."
I'd always been interested in the complex ways in which men and women relate to each so it seemed natural to start writing romance fiction. I wrote short stories and sold several of them. Finally, I took a deep breath, sat down and wrote my very first novel. To my amazement and joy, Harlequin Presents bought it.
