STEALTH HONEYBUN by Sam Cheever
Book 3 in the Honeybun Cousins SeriesPeyton Honeybun just wants to get a six pack of cold beer and watch football. But, he doesn't quite make it to that la-z-boy with his six pack. When four gunmen enter a small country grocery store and take the employees hostage, Peyton and the store's beautiful owner just barely avoid being discovered and taken hostage with the others.
Willa Sloan doesn't know what's happening when she emerges from the back room and gets a big, warm, Honeybun hand slapped over her mouth as she's dragged backward into hiding. But when she learns her store has been infiltrated and her people taken hostage, the last thing she intends is to hide in a dark corner whimpering.
Together, they discover two things through that long and terrifying night. First, a country grocery store is a great place to run a stealth operation if you're enterprising enough. And second, love can happen at the strangest times!

Sam Cheever writes fast paced fantasy and romantic fiction with feisty characters who deal with life's little challenges in unique and often hilarious ways. As a reader Sam is very impatient. She quickly loses interest if a story doesn't have a good pace and snappy dialogue. Sam's inability to focus in a backwash of human angst and subtleties works out well for her readers, since she writes the way she likes to read.
In her real life, Sam lives on a hobby farm in Indiana with 10 dogs, 4 horses, 2 barn cats, 2 daughters, and one husband. Not necessarily in that order.

Morning Sam and super congrats on the new Honeybun release! Love those Honeybun men!! And I'm not the only one - as I look at the Daily Hot Sellers over at Red Rose, I see THREE of your Honeybun books in the top 10! WOO HOO!!
ReplyDeleteFor those not familiar with your Honeybun Series can you tell us a bit about it and your Honeybun Cousins spin off series?
You've got a busy February, as I see you have a release tomorrow with Changeling Press, FOXED, which we're launching with a party next week...nothing but fun!
Hope you enjoy your party today and I hope STEALTH HONEYBUN is your biggest seller yet! Go Girl!
LOL, Thanks DeNita! It's definitely going to be an exciting year for me! Lots of new books coming out over the next few months.
ReplyDeleteMy romantic suspense series, Honeybun Hunks, is based on a family of eight, sexy brothers with strange old English names and a proclivity toward finding and dealing with trouble. When a Honeybun or his honey is in trouble, the whole Honeybun clan gets involved in solving the problem and saving the damsel in distress...whether they're wanted or not!
They shop, they cook, they shoot, they ride, they kick bad guy butt all over the place. They're sexy, red-haired, wonderfully masculine, and delightfully non-traditional, except when it comes to treating a woman right. Terrorists pale when they see a Honeybun, criminals wobble, and women swoon with sensual delight. #:0)
I started the Honeybun Cousins series because fans of the books would consume them and then start asking for the next book in the series (a very nice problem to have!) and my publisher was nagging me for more Honeybuns #:0) so I hit on the idea of interspersing the longer Hunks books with shorter (around 20k) stories about the Honeybun boys' cousins. They have LOTS of cousins. LOL, as Peyton in Stealth Honeybun said:
“When you put fifteen boys of various ages together at the family lake cottage at Crooked Lake every summer and let them entertain themselves, it’s amazing what trouble they can find.”
Willa grinned. “You have fourteen brothers?”
“Fourteen cousins. Actually there are lots more, but we discovered fifteen was the maximum number we could have at the cottage at any one time before the neighbors started calling child services…or the cops.”
#:0)
As a bonus today, my Honeybun series books are contemporary romantic suspense, but if you like fantasy too, my fun mythological fantasy romance, Guardian, is FREE today and tomorrow at Amazon. Go GRAB IT NOW! Before they're all sold out. Snorf!

The Devil You Want - Ellora's Cave - April 2012
Astra Q Phelps gave her boyfriend a magic hickey. Usually not a world changing problem. But in Astra’s case, her boyfriend is King of the Royal Devils. And Royals have always thought that only males could mark their mates. So how did she do it?
That’s one problem.
Somebody’s trying to kill Astra. It doesn’t really matter why, but Astra is naturally curious.
That’s the second problem.
And then there’s the uber-sexy Slayer. He’s shown up on Astra’s turf and he wants Astra to hire him. Yeah, that’ll go over well with Dialle.
That’s the third problem.
Add in the constant problems caused by her Settling and you have a whole lot of stuff for Astra Q Phelps to handle. But, as you probably know by now, she’s definitely up to it! Kind of.
Honeybun at a Dude Ranch - Red Rose Publishing - May/June 2012
Depressed by injuries that have sidelined his dancing career and feeling squiggy about his personal life because of Edric and Bella's impending wedding, Heathcliffe goes to his cousin Peyton's Dude Ranch in Southern Indiana for some "alone" time. He expects to spend time riding horses by himself, hiking alone, and contemplating the direction his life is taking to see if he can get himself back on track.
He quickly discovers he's helpless against the persuasive powers of Nita Harley, the ranch's newly hired activity director. Nita's an attractive, young widow who's trying to find her way back to a normal life too, but her problems are much more urgent and dangerous than Heathcliffe's. Someone's killing everyone Nita connects with and, as their feelings for each other heat and grow, she's pretty sure Heathcliffe will be next.
Whoever the murderer is, he's about to bump up against the world's biggest immoveable force. The Honeybuns have come to the Dude Ranch to keep their baby brother safe. And they aren't exactly known for giving up before the job is done!

Personal trainer for the ever popular, Lose it! reality show, Jillie Maxwell is up for the most important award of her career. And she’s competing against the biggest b-eye-itch she’s ever met. Fortunately for her, she has the sexiest man alive in her corner. Problem is, each and every one of them has a dirty little secret that could tank a career.
For the contestants, the race is on to lose the most weight and win everything. For the staff of the popular weight loss show, the clock is ticking to the culmination of their lies and the possibility of losing it all.
Will the Biggest Poser win? Or will the lies just grow and grow until they sink the whole show? Only one thing is certain. Whatever happens, it’s gonna be one hell of an entertaining ride!
Here's another little taste of Stealth Honeybun:
ReplyDeleteWilla pushed on his shoulders. “Put me down! What are you doing?”
But he was already striding toward the back of the building. “I’m taking you to my bedroom.” He stopped. “That is, if you’d like to go.”
Willa frowned. “Do you need to show me the décor?”
“Yeah.” He responded, matching her tone for seriousness. “Particularly the sheets. I had trouble picking them out. I want to make sure I did it right.”
Willa leaned close, capturing his lower lip between straight, white teeth and nibbling it until Peyton’s jeans tightened uncomfortably and he thought he might embarrass himself. She licked the spot she’d worried with her teeth and lifted her head. “Something tells me you’re gonna do it just right.”
BUY NOW! http://bit.ly/xfJl1E
