HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION
The Boys Are Back series

Some women
are bad. Some women are a bad idea. The best ones are both…
A former
Black Ops assassin, “Lucky” Landon has had more near-misses than a man should
ever have. Now he’s out of that business and settling into the simple life in
his small hometown. So the last thing he ever expected was to end up at
gunpoint. Or that the woman holding the gun would be his best friend’s little
sister and Lucky’s on-again/off-again lover.
Taylor
Elliott is Trouble, and she likes it that way. And seeing Lucky again? Well,
he’s been her dirty little secret for the past few years and everyone knows
that secrets in a small town are almost impossible to keep. But Taylor has
bigger problems on her plate. Like the local mob boss who wants her dead.
A LITTLE OF THE STORY
She
was tall, her length stretched out under most of his six foot three inch frame
even with their legs tangled together. And he could feel every inch of her
long, silky-skinned limbs as they extended out of the sexiest, tiniest pair of
boy shorts ever sold without a warning label. Those shorts, coupled with the
tiny tank top, left absolutely everything to fuel his imagination.
Damn,
she smelled good too. From where his face rested in the crook between her face
and her shoulder he was enveloped in the combination of coconut and a sharp,
exotic floral scent. Their exertion had caused the unique combination to
intensify, and he couldn’t resist taking one last deep breath and dragging it
in. It reminded him of the beach, long summer days, and suntan oil.
“Are
we going to lie here all night?” Her voice was breathy, but she maintained a
healthy edge of “kiss my ass” in the delivery.
“Nope.
Only until the sheriff arrives and he confiscates the gun you tried to kill me
with.”
“I
didn’t try to kill you.”
“Sugar,
if you point a gun at me you better be prepared to—” Lucky lifted his head to
get a good look at his would-be-assassin, and the shock of her identity hit him
between the eyes, swirled around for a bit and melted his brain. The hair was
different, shorter and colored in broad stripes of blonde and darkest brown,
but he’d know those eyes anywhere—hazel with all the colors of autumn on the
mountain—just like her brother Teague. Just like all the Elliotts.
“Taylor?”
“Lucky?”
“What
the hell are you doing here?” Shock, instant remorse at the way he’d tackled
her, and the crazy need to touch her threaded together in his mind in a
confusing jumble of conflicting desires. The only clear thought was that Taylor
was here—in the flesh— after two long years. He didn’t even mind his hands
shaking as he released her arms from over her head, trailing his fingers down
one smooth cheek, and finally stopping to cup her jaw in a light grip that
forced her to maintain eye contact. Not that he needed to—her gaze never wavered
from his. The warmth of welcome and the edge of heat in her expression made his
fingertips tingle where they stroked her skin. “The last time I saw you in
Elliott, you were stealing my car.”

THE SOUTHERN BOYS
We've got all the "boys" from Robin's Southern Series getting
lost with us today.
ROBIN:
Oh Angi – I don’t know what you were thinking
inviting all these guys here. I cannot guarantee that they will behave . . . .
fair warning!
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a
story?
JACKSON: I’m not much of a reader but I do love to sit with
my Dad and listen to him tell stories about when he was a cop. I can lose hours
with him . . .
ANGI: What’s the first book you
remember reading?
BECK: Oh man, I did not grow up in a house full of
readers but I remember getting a copy of “Treasure Island” when I was kid from
a social worker. That’s probably my earliest book I remember reading. I think I still want to be a pirate searching
for gold – that would be so cool.
ANGI: What’s your favorite “love”
word?
TEAGUE: I don’t really believe in all that stuff. People
throw it around so much these days –they love their current meal to a
television show. So, I guess that’s my long-winded way of saying next question!
ANGI: Can you tell us about a
real-life hero you’ve met?
LUCKY: I served in the United States Marine Corps and I
met heroes every day. If you have a few days, I’ll tell you about every single
one of them.
ANGI: What’s your favorite fairy
tale?
LUCKY: Let’s see . . . Snow White, Sleeping Beauty . . . any story that lets me kiss the girl.
TEAGUE: We
promised to keep this PG-13.
LUCKY: What did I say?
ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon
character?
JACKSON: Lucky. He’s
a life-size cartoon character.
LUCKY: Bite me.
ANGI: What sound or noise do you
love?
BECK: The sound the wind makes rushing past my ears when
when I’m sky-diving or base-jumping.
TEAGUE: I figured you’d make some comment about the sound of a woman in your
bed . . .
BECK: I’m trying to keep this PG-13 man.
ANGI: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
BECK: Oh, action adventure.
JACK: He’s an adrenaline junkie.
BECK: I’m an
adventure enthusiast.
TEAGUE: You’re
crazy. Why would you jump out a perfectly good airplane?
BECK: It’s better than sex.
TEAGUE: I’ll take your word for it. On the ground.
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of
all time?
TEAGUE: Bullitt by Steve McQueen. That guy was a badass.
JACK: I wanted the car.
BECK: I wanted the woman.
TEAGUE, LUCKY, & JACK: We know!
ANGI: Who’s your favorite villain?
JACKSON: The Joker. Heath Ledger’s version was genius.
LUCKY: Hell,
yes. That dude was scary as shit – and
I’ve seen scary.
ANGI: What is your biggest vice?
LUCKY: Keeping secrets. After my years with the Marines,
lying comes too easily to me sometimes.
ANGI: How is it working with hot guys
and sexy women all day?
ROBIN: I assume you are not asking me about the evil day job!! Working with
these guys is a blast. They keep me on
my toes but I enjoy putting them through the wringer when it comes to love.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What else is on that bucket list of yours?
ROBIN'S GOTTA
ANSWER: A tattoo. I
have it designed (a heart made up with the intertwining names of my hubby and
kids). I just have to convince the Main Man not to roll his eyes every time he
looks at it – he’s not a fan of tattoos.

UP NEXT FOR ROBIN:

I loved writing about them against the backdrop of the glamour of Hollywood. (cover to be released by EP soon! – It’s hawt!)

A QUESTION FROM ROBIN...
Angi asked the Boys and now I’m curious – what is
your favorite movie of all time?
I watch a lot of movies, so it would be very hard to pick an absolute favorite. If pushed to choose just one I would have to say LOTR trilogy. One epic tale after all.
ReplyDeleteGood ones Mary! My oldest is just getting to the point where I think he will enjoy those. ; )
DeleteI love so many movies. But, if I had to pick one, I would choose the Star Wars trilogy.
ReplyDeleteTammy - I love those too. Han Solo is the one . . .
DeleteRobin, that interview was great. Loved it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to GLIAS, my friend. I hope you enjoy your day.
As for favorite movie? I have one in every genre. I am a movie goer...love suspending my disbelief for a couple of hours.
In honor of the "boys" being here, I'm going to choose Lethal Weapon (series of course, because they actually do tell one story). But on a different day, it would be a different movie.
~Angi
Angi - thanks for having me back. Can't wait to see you in person!
DeleteOh - Lethal Weapon- great choice! Definitely one of the best of the bromance . . . which I love so much.
Hugs, Robin
What a fun interview. I LOVED the opening line....Some women are bad. Some women are a bad idea. The best ones are both…...what a great catch!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is Grease. I have loved it since I saw it opening weekend in the theater. I just love the music, the story, the characters.
I can take no credit for that opener - a talented publicist tapped into what this book is about perfectly!
DeleteLoved Grease!!!
The princess bride for sure. :) Romantic, funny and romantic!
ReplyDeleteAs . . . . you . . . wish . . . .
DeleteGreat interview!!! The boys sounded exactly how I thought they would!! So far I think Lucky is #1 for me.....
ReplyDeleteMay I totally agree with Princess Bride! Love that movie...always bring it out when I need a lift.
Have an e-book of this fun book, so need to enter me. a Night of Southern Comfort is a seriously hot read also!
Pat - Lucky is my #1 too . . . but don't tell the other boys . . .
DeleteThanks for the kind words.about my books!
My favorite movie of all time is Imitation of Life, the 1959 version.
ReplyDeleteYes - Lana Turner!
DeleteAwesome Interview! Can't wait to read it :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie would be A Walk To Remember. Such a beautiful love story. I cry every single time I watch it.
mikki_dicampo(at)hotmail(dot)com
Mikki - Oh, I have to pysch myself up to watch that movie because I ball my eyes out everytime!
DeleteLoved this interview and ALL of Robin's guys.
ReplyDeleteAs for movies, I don't know if I could pick just one. That's like picking a favorite hero ... depends on the day!
Pam
Pamela - LOL! Very true!
DeleteFYI: Robin is at the Smithsonian today, but I'm sure she'll drop by later. ~Angi
ReplyDeleteI survived!!!! 2nd graders . . . whew!
DeleteI know I'll be in the minority here but movies always disappoint me. Maybe because my hubby falls asleep in the middle and then expects me to catch him up during the last ten minutes or maybe because if I try and watch something at home, I'm constantly interrupted.
ReplyDeleteBooks, on the other hand, never let me down. Looking forward to reading your new release, Robin!
You'll have to watch a movie with me, Jan. They really are terrific. And here in the living room when it's dark there's:
DeleteNo talking, No texting, No phone calls, No dozing. Those are the HOUSE RULES. :-)
I can easily get on a rant about paying for a first release movie and having people text throughout the thing. Drives me insane.
~Angi
Jan- I'm with Angi - you need to watch one with me. Movie time rocks in my house!
Deletethe mummy
ReplyDeletebn100candg at hotmail dot com
Oh yes - loved to be scared!
DeleteAngi, great interview of all the boys. I could picture them sitting right there with you, answering your questions.
ReplyDeleteAs to a favorite movie (romantic), I would have to say that it's a toss up between "A walk in the clouds" and "P.S. I love you".
Hi Cindy! I cry every time I watch P.S. I love you - and it has a great movie soundtrack!!
DeleteI know it's an odd choice, but I love TOOTSIE with Dustin Hoffman. It just cracks me up every time. Another funny one I love is JUMPING JACK FLASH with Whoopie Goldberg. :D
ReplyDeleteMarcy Shuler
bmndshuler(at)hotmail(dot)com
Just watched this a couple of weeks ago. Awesome movie and I just love the line: I was a better man when I was a woman...
DeleteLOL ... GREAT WRITING !!
~Angi
Marcy - Tootsie is amazing!!!! I can watch it all the time. So funny and DH is a genius!
DeleteThat is a tough question but I think I would pick Gone With the Wind.
ReplyDeletemce1011 AT aol DOT com
Maureen - That is a good one. My sister could watch that movie everyday , , , ,
DeleteOne of my favorite movies is The Godfather. I've not read the Boys stories yet, but love them in the interview! :) Thanks for the giveaway.
