Welcome, Kat! Congratulations on the release of your new book. Please tell readers what they can expect from
INTO THE FURY.
When
Valentine Hart, one of La Belle lingerie’s top models, receives a death threat,
it’s bodyguard Ethan Brodie’s job to protect her. Throw in murder, mayhem, and copycat killers
and you have INTO THE FURY. It’s a
fast-paced, action-packed romantic suspense I’m hoping readers will enjoy.
What scene was the most fun to write?
There’s a lot of sexual tension between Ethan and Val
because they are both trying to behave as professionals, which means no getting
involved. I loved writing the sex scene
where the lid to the pressure cooker finally blows off--metaphorically speaking--and
they just can’t resist the pull any longer.
What would you like readers to understand about
Ethan and Val?
I think they both underestimate each other,
initially. It’s a growing, learning
experience as they get to know and respect each other and slowly fall in love.
INTO THE FURY is the first book in your new BOSS,
Inc. series.
What was the inspiration for this new series of books?
What was the inspiration for this new series of books?
A question I often get is where do you get your story
ideas? I almost never know. They
just sort of pop into my head and stick around until I begin to work
them into a story. So the answer is I
have no idea!
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not busy
writing books?
I write a LOT!
Mostly when I’m not writing I’m traveling, often to conferences and
signings for work. My husband and I try
to enjoy the areas we go to. I love
great hotels and gormet meals…sooo it works pretty well.
You appear to enjoy travel. Do you have any fun
trips planned for this year?
I’ll be in Belgium and Holland this year. I’ll be in Wyoming, a great place to visit. I’ll be in NYC, one of my fav cities, and San
Diego for RWA.
What’s next?
Dirk Reynolds, Into
the Whirlwind, will be out May 31. I
hadn’t planned to give Dirk a book, but he was so upset at the end of Fury I
had to fix things for him. Into the Whirlwind and Luke’s story, Into the Firestorm, turned out to be
two of my all-time favorite books.

Have enjoyed your books for years. The first I read were your historicals. My favorite genre, for for romance and other fiction, are historical and suspense/mystery. These work especially well in romance providing tense situations and needing strong characters to survive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing us with many good stories to enjoy over the hears.
I discovered Kat through her historicals too but I'm really enjoying her romantic suspense!
DeleteI too started with your historicals. Love your books Kat. I love time travel romance, historical romance and romantic suspense first. Looking forward to starting the new series. Thanks for posting.

Westerns! I do love western romance. I think it comes from watching all those Saturday morning westerns on TV when I was a kid. ;-)
DeleteI alternate between contemporary and historical romance. I recently read Jill Shalvis- All I Want, Lecia Corwall- How To Deceive a Duke, Christe Ridgway -Can't Fight This Feeling and next up is Sarah MacLean- Never Judge A Lady By Her Cover.
ReplyDeleteThat's some good reading, Laurie! Have you read the rest of the Sarah MacLean series? I loved those four books!
DeleteI have read the second one, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. I believe I have the third too, No Good Duke Goes Unpunished but I can't find it right now.
DeleteI love historical romance and have a few of your books.
ReplyDeleteSo many good choices out there these days.
DeleteI enjoy historicals and suspense the most but will read a bit of everything. I've enjoyed many of your stories!
ReplyDeleteI love a good suspense novel!
DeleteI love your books, Kat! I enjoy reading historical and contemporary romance (including romantic mysteries).
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to starting Kat's new series. I've really enjoyed the Brodies!
DeleteI love romantic suspense! Just finished reading Into The Fury and really enjoyed it. The plot was different and well-designed. I learned a lot about modeling and like Ethan, I had several misconceptions about the occupation. Looking forward to the next in the series.
ReplyDeleteShould read well researched!
DeleteGlad to hear you enjoyed Into the Fury, Debbie. It's on my tbr. Looking forward to reading it!
DeleteI read all romance genres - from historical to contemporary, suspense to humor - I just want a good story (with romance) and an HEA.
ReplyDeleteI do love reading contemporary, suspense, and paranormal but honestly my favorite is historical.
ReplyDeleteI love romantic suspense and contemporary romance.
ReplyDeleteI love Kats books and love this series. Love any romantic suspense and trying to figure out who is the good guy and who is bad. Thanks for the chance
