My Month in Photos - June Edition

For the most part, book deadlines have kept me chained to my desk. However, there have been a few escapes. 

Passing out book goodies at Romance Slam Jam, a shopping cart full of summer blooms, clearing clutter via a 1-800-GOT-JUNK truck, getting back into an exercise routine, eating the best shrimp po’ boy ever (don’t judge), comparing beauty balms and my backlist book Operation Prince Charming skyrocketing in rank as a Kindle Daily Deal…

Here’s my month in pictures.

My Month in Photos - May Edition

Writing deadlines prevent me from posting updates as much as I'd like so instead of telling you the latest, I've decided to show you!

From backyard bunnies and a broken iPad Mini to new glasses and ice cream runs with Mr. Phyllis, to the final proof pages of SWEETER TEMPTATION to the start of my new series coming in 2014, here's last month in photos:

SWEETER TEMPTATION - COMING SOON!

An Irresistible Enemy 

When a fierce blizzard wreaks havoc on the small town of Candy, Ohio, Nia King isn't sure she will ever make it home. She is frozen and breathless and almost there when she discovers a gorgeous, intense stranger stranded by the roadside. This guy-whom she knows as just Kyle-is the stuff romantic fantasies are made of. Sweet secretary Nia would never entertain the idea of a one-night stand. But after two days housebound with the dark-eyed Adonis, nature begins to take its course. 

Of all the farmhouses to get stuck at! Kyle Ellison cannot believe he has just had the lovemaking of a lifetime with the woman whose life he has come to ruin. He had no idea that Nia has been trying to save the small town's candy factory-the factory he has come to shut down. The hard-playing corporate executive cannot surrender to sentimentality. But the lingering taste of Nia's sweet kisses have made him hungry for more....

SWEETER TEMPTATION will be released in paperback on August 20 with the e-book to follow on September 1st.

It's now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your favorite bookseller.

Taste for Temptation - FOUR STAR REVIEW!

Box of Author Copies!

TASTE FOR TEMPTATION comes complete with a sexy hero,  fun heroine, a well-meaning but overbearing mother and tons of chocolate. What's not to love?

I promise a great read. However, I admit to being a tiny bit biased.

So I’m sharing the review from RT Book Reviews Magazine, who gave it FOUR STARS in its November issue.

Here’s what they had to say:

TASTE FOR TEMPTATION (4 ) by Phyllis Bourne: Adam Ellison resigned from his position as vice president in the family company when he was being coerced into marrying a girl as part of a business merger. He decides to dedicate his life to becoming a pastry chef like he grandfather. While perfecting his chocolate dishes in preparation for a baking competition, he meets his neighbor Brandi Collins. Brandi is working her butt off to lose the 20 pounds she gained after her ex-fiance left her at the altar and married someone else. Shunning both men and chocolate, she views Adam as a sinful yet delicious treat. The challenges faced by both the endearing main characters build and build throughout the novel, and the storyline is strong.

The Kindle, Nook and other e-reader version of Taste for Temptation will be released November 1^st.
