Michelle Buchanan wasn't looking for the
perfect man to fill her life. She'd
settle for Mr. Right Now to fill the empty spot in her bed - just someone that
could help her with the little problem of her lingering virginity. But when Luka Templeton invaded her blind
date and suddenly begins taking over her every waking thought, she realizes
that she is in way too deep with the confident alpha male currently wreaking
havoc on her life.
Join us on this romantic comedy romp as
Chelle and Luka find their way to happily ever after!
Romantic comedy. Releases on April 3 as part of Aurora Rose Reynold's Happily Ever After Kindle World. (And if you've read Aurora's Until series, you'll know Chelle from Until Ashlyn!)
Available exclusively in
Kindle Unlimited!
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Michelle Buchanan and Luka Templeton. Michelle isn't looking for Mr. Right she is looking for Mr. Right now. However Luka takes one look at Michelle and all he sees is his woman. Luka is ready to claim Michelle from the first moment he sees her but he knows getting her to feel the same is going to take some work. Michelle is Ashlyn Mayson's best friend, so she knows about the Mayson curse and being her best friend they have adopted her they said and she will be hit by it as well. She wonders though since she hasn't found it yet is it just not in the cards for her or has he just not met him yet? Can they both find a boom moment they never knew they wanted or will they miss out on their once in a lifetime?
If you are a fan of Aurora Rose Reynold you will find this book amazing. What we are finding is the boom that is happening to their friends. This is one of those books that you will want to lock the doors, send the kids out of the house, call in for dinner till you read those 2 words the end. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

1. How did the two of you begin writing together?
We met in an online writing group, found out that we were writing
similar type stories and plotlines, and soon became fast friends! After a few months, we started beta reading
for each other, and that soon morphed into “Ummmm, just help me out with this one
paragraph, ‘kay?” Needless to
say, it grew into much more than just a
paragraph or two when we started writing whole stories together. That was over
9 years ago...and wow! Life has surely changed so much during that
time. We call ourselves Crazy One and
Crazy Two -- for VERY obvious reasons!
2. Where
did the concept for Until Sunrise come from?
Until Sunrise is based in the Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World (Aurora
Rose Reynolds.) Our characters were very
briefly mentioned in ARR’s book Until Ashlyn.
We had the great pleasure of giving a romantic (and funny!) backstory to
Michelle and Luke that we hope does justice to ARR’s amazing world!
3. What is your favourite type of book to read?
Romance. Romance. And MORE Romance!!!
4. Out of all the books you’ve written, do you
have a favourite?
Oh, we’re not supposed to have favorites, right? Well, don’t tell the other little book
children, but we are both exceedingly fond of Man of Honor. Zeke is the ultimate hero that we just love
to pieces!
5. What is your writing process?
Our process usually starts with a few glasses of wine and a 4-hour
phone call. Crazy One
usually has some wild-ass idea for an
off-the-wall story, so we start with 30 minutes of Crazy Two trying to talk
Crazy One out of the latest adventure. It seldom works. Then, Crazy Two resigns
herself to 4-6 months of writing hell. (FYI: In case you’re wondering, Crazy
Two knows the battle has been lost when Crazy One lets out a war cry of "Bitch,
let's do this thing!”)
At the beginning, we usually talk and talk and talk about plotlines,
settings, characters, etc. before the first word is written. Do NOT
underestimate the amount of talking that we do. We then make sure that all of
our crazy meds are filled and available at a moment's notice. Then Crazy One
will start writing – and after an inordinate amount of bitching, whining, and
complaining, she sends the chapters to Crazy Two for review. Crazy Two then
drinks a few bottles of wine, puts on her football helmet, and goes to battle
with Crazy One over any changes. This can get bloody.
When the book is finished, Crazy Two then edits and rewrites...and
sends it back to Crazy One, who has her Momma and the Crazy Crew Street Team
read it while simultaneously yelling about the ridiculous and wicked cuts that
were made to her precious manuscript. Momma, who obviously was a Grammar Nazi
in a previous life, then lectures both Crazies on their lack of knowledge
concerning basic English language structure. (Ignore Momma...she’s a little
bitter about all those dollars spent on Crazy One’s college education. Hi,
Momma!)
In the end, Crazy Two prepares the covers (which usually sends Crazy
One into hiding because Crazy Two becomes slightly psychotic during design
time. It’s not her fault...no one appreciates how much she SUFFERS for her
art!) Then we publish the book and pray.
And drink. A lot. There ya go! Does that
sound confusing? Imagine how we feel!
6.
If you could meet one author, who would it be and why?
Well, we’ve been blessed to meet so maaaaany of our idols recently.
BUT...if we were able to turn back the clock, we’d want to meet Margaret
Mitchell...hands down. In our opinion,
that woman wrote the best alpha male ever to grace the pages of a book. We would love to just have 5 tiny, short
minutes with her to pick her brain and find out what motivated her to
write Gone With the Wind and how she managed to develop such amazing
characters! (And we’re both born and
raised in the South...)
7.
Where does your inspiration come from?
There’s an old saying that recommends that you “Write what you
know.” We’ve taken that to heart, and
most of our books are set in the South (southern United States) and are about
Southern belles and their kick-ass alphas.
Since both of us were born and raised in the South, we’re pretty
well-versed in how romance works down here, and we often find ourselves
including scenes or dialogue that we have heard or actually said!
8.
What are your favourite things about signings?
Do you get nervous at them?
Oh, Crazy One is our signing guru.
She loves to interact with our current readers and meet new
readers! Signings are also a time for to
be fangirls and get to meet the other authors that we love and admire!
9.
What inspired you to become writers?
We each started for different reasons but ALMOST at the same
time. Crazy One started writing in order
to deal with her husband’s military deployment.
Crazy Two began writing in order to relax from work issues.
10.
What are your next upcoming releases?
We’re currently working on Copy Cat, which will be a companion story
to our paranormal shifter romance Cat Scratch Fever. Then, we’ll be working on Maggie and Ice’s
story (from our Passion in Paradise series.) We’re not quite sure on the title
yet, but we do have it narrowed down to two choices! That’s progress for us!

Sarah O'Rourke is actually TWO besties who live three states apart and
write at all hours of the day and night! Born and raised in the Southern United
States, they are overly attached to their one-click accounts, can’t make it
through the day without copious doses of caffeine, and spend way too much time
on the phone with each other.
Between them, they have four children and twenty-plus years of
marriage...one to a retired super soldier and the other to egomaniac engineer.
They hate empty chocolate wrappers and writer’s block, love to talk to
readers...and oh, by the way, they write about strong, kick-ass women and hot
alpha heroes!
