Rock Hard Launch Party!

by Olivia Cunning

Did someone say party?

I'm definitely in the partying mood.

The second book of my Sinners on Tour series, Rock Hard, has finally been released! I didn't think the day would ever arrive.

Excuse me while I bask in the glory of its smokin' hot cover.

Bask...

bask...

bask...

bask...

bask...

bask...

bask...

bask...

*wipes drool off chin*

Those abs are definitely rock hard.  My, my, my, my, my.....

Now about that party.

I decided we can't have a Rock Hard launch party without some hard rockin' guests, so I've invited all the guys of Sinners. Sinners is a sensationally popular, fictional rock band and the Sinners on Tour series is about how each of the five sexy rock stars find love. The first book, Backstage Pass, is about lead guitarist, Brian Sinclair. The new one, Rock Hard, is the second book in the series.

Our guest of honor is lead singer of Sinners, Sedric Lionheart. You can call him Sed. Don't let that serious expression throw you off. He's just trying to hide his dimples. He's the hero of Rock Hard and let's just say the phrase "rock hard" applies to several qualities Sed possesses. Yes, he's very hard-headed. What did you think I meant?

In order from left to right: Brian, Sed, Jace, Eric and Trey

The other sexy men of Sinners are also here. Brian Sinclair, rock god and lead guitarist. He's the one with the fast fingers. Jace Seymour, our shy bassist. Well, I'm not sure if he's shy. He is quiet. He probably won't say a word the entire time. You can only imagine the wicked thoughts going through his mind. Go ahead. Start imagining. Eric Sticks, our extroverted drummer. He'll keep us laughing. And Trey Mills, the oh-my-lord-can-a-man-be-any-sexier rhythm guitarist. He has his tongue pierced. 'Nuf said.

Okay, everyone get into the hot tub with Jace.

Is everyone in? Don't attack Jace, now. Remember he's "shy". Yeah, right.

Be sure to order a drink from the server. Yes, we have a server. We're partying with rich rock stars. You can have anything you like.

Got your beverage? All hot and wet now?

Sorry the music's so loud. We might have to shout.

Now let's talk about the book.

Rock Hard is a reconciliation story. The hero, Sed, and heroine, Jessica Chase, were once engaged. It ended badly. Except it never really ended. They've both been pining away for each other for two years. So while they may claim to be over each other, it's obviously not true. When they meet again... well, let's just say tempers flair, sparks fly and clothing is abandoned. Sed quickly realizes he must have Jessica back, but he's kind of rough around the edges and keeps saying the wrong thing. His heart is in the right place. He just doesn't understand how to get Jessica to cooperate and can't figure out why exerting his authority isn't working out so well for him. He's used to being the leader of a hugely famous rock band and people breaking their necks trying to please him and Jessica... well, she doesn't like his approach. She likes him though. At least physically. They definitely have no problem connecting physically. Jessica finally figures out who Sed is on the inside through his actions (his words aren't conveying the proper feelings-he has foot-in-mouth disease) and as they learn to work together as a team, they figure out how to make an explosive relationship work. Commitment, compromise and communication. That's not so hard, is it? For these two it is. Eh, they'll get it right. If they don't drive each other and everyone around them crazy, first.

I'll be on my blog tour all month. If you'd like to follow me and the Sinners around (and win free books!), check out my blog each day. I post the details of my current location with links to giveaways each day here: Olivia Cunning's Blog.

And now for the best part.

Win hugs and kisses from Sinners!

Would you like to get your hands on one of these babies?

There are only ten in existence. And I need to keep one for myself to keep my "things" hot and steamy, so that means I only have nine to give away this entire month.
