Message From Susabelle:
Happy Friday, and Huzzah!!
I’m so happy to be here on Celia’s blog so I can tell you about my new
release, Fairest of the Faire. Set in a Renaissance Faire in the Midwest,
the story takes a lot from my experiences visiting RenFairs all over the
country, and talking with the people who work them. My brother, who does blacksmithing for a
hobby, spends half his summers at the St. Louis RenFaire. The fairs are always full of good-looking men
in kilts, armor, and period garb. The
women look amazing, too. The lusty looks
and excitement of the scenes of the fair provided the perfect backdrop for the
blooming romance in Fairest of the Faire.

her nieces leads to a summer job as a costumed storyteller.
Avowed bad boy and fair performer Gage

commitment-free life, and Connie's don't-touch-me attitude, he soon has her in
his arms, realizing quickly she is also in his heart.
When
she is threatened by her late husband's bookie, he steps into the role of
protector, his fate forever sealed with hers.
Book
Excerpt:
“Who
said anything about a relationship?” he said, standing up so he could tower
over her again. “I’m just trying to have a little fun. You know, fun?”
If
he’d been an animal, she was sure he’d have had hair raised on the back of his
neck, he seemed so angry, and it struck her painfully. She hadn’t wanted to
anger him or hurt him. She turned away from him and closed her eyes to tamp
down the tears she knew would come if she let them. She crossed her arms over
her chest, to hold in the pain. Being tired made her much too vulnerable.
“Yes,”
she finally said. “I know about fun. Life isn’t always fun, though.”
“Princess.”
His voice was soft, tender. “I won’t hurt you. It’s not in my plan.”
Despite
herself, she felt the shivers of desire race down from her shoulders, down her
arms and legs, and back up to that secret, soft place at her core. She bowed
her head and gritted her teeth, hoping for the feeling to go away.
“And
what is your plan, Gage?”
“It’s a
simple plan. I want you to feel good. I want to feel good, too.”

Haven't been to a RenFair in a while but I do love them. The best part is being in custom, hearing the old English speach and tasting the foods of the past...Good Fun!
ReplyDeleteWe always go in costume. So much fun!!
DeleteThanks for having me on the blog today, Celia!
