#WOTR23 #attendingauthor – Lacey Black
Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
I am from Central Illinois, born and raised. I live about 10 minutes from my own small hometown, which might be why I love to write small town stories. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we share two kids.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
Definitely the latter books!
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I like to brainstorm with my book team and do so almost daily with my writing partner, Kaylee Ryan.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Just write the book. Tell the story the way you feel it should be told. Then, find yourself a team of betas, editors, and proofers to help perfect it. It takes many sets of eyes to find the little things. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last nine years, it’s not to skimp on good covers (photo and design) and editing.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
3-5 hours, spread through the day.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
Meghan Summer from the Summer Sisters. She was the hardest character I’ve ever written. I was terrified telling her story because I was scared readers wouldn’t like it. It was outside of my comfort zone, but I powered through and wrote one of my favorite books every. It took almost the entire series to shape her storyline, and I couldn’t be prouder of it!
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
I’d LOVE to see the Brew Crue turned into a movie. I see Liam Hemsworth as Walker and Natalie Portman as Mallory.
What is your definition of success?
Loving what I do. Life’s too short not to find joy in what you do day in and day out.

#wotr23 #SingleParent #Audio #Bar #Family #Excerpt #review- Kickstart My Heart , The Burgers and Brue Crew Book 1 by Lacey Black
I purchased this audio book.
I want to start by saying OMG did I love the audio, Both voices did a great job with each of the characters they voiced but they both did a great job with Lizzie and her baby speech.
Walker was the single guy loving his life. He was a ladies man but he lived by a strict code…Don’t shit where you eat IE Don’t date where you work. He is quite happy to pick up a depressed woman at the grocery store in front of the ice cream aisle grabbing rocky road to heal her heart. Walker is not about to do monogamy and then…….
Mal is starting all over. She and her daughter need a fresh start as far away from their home town. She needs to prove to herself she can take care of her daughter. She makes a great friend in the complex to watch her daughter when she lands a much needed Monday through Friday day shift job at a burger restaurant.
The heat between Walker and Mal is pretty intense right away. Seeing Walker get jealous when he sees Mal talking to his business partners was hysterical. Hut staking his claim over her with the other workers was also a great read. Mal is pretty oblivious to his eyes because she doesn’t think a guy like walker would be interested but also once he finds out about Lizzie he would be gone.
Walker and the guys, for real I loved them all, step up to the plate for Mallory. They all understood and respected what she was doing for her daughter. They all knew where she was coming from and pulled her into their little homemade family.
I think my favorite was when Lizzie was sick and went to see Walker vs mommy over the yuks. I also loved when Lizzie told walker she loved him…sigh…she is the cutest.
Of course there is drama with jealous snatched who don’t respect Walkers “taken” vibes and of course there is baby daddy drama but I was loving this story. I am so excited over the series. Lacey needs to get the other audio books done ASAP!!!

Review by Twinsie Dee
Avid reader, writer, mother, and wife! I love to read contemporary romance. Add in a little “spice” or hot guys in uniform pants, and I’m a happy woman. There’s just something about diving into a book and engrossing in the magic of your hero and heroine getting their happily ever after.
#WOTR22 #Audio #SeriesFinale – Love and Neckties by Lacey Black
For Samuel Grayson, everything is black or white. As a funeral director, there’s no room for in-between. He’s accustomed to dealing with life and death, though he’s definitely more comfortable with the latter. Especially when it comes to a chaotic, petite, feisty ball of energy. Freedom Rayne. Samuel’s pretty sure her goal is to make his life hell, or so it appears. When Samuel boards a flight to Las Vegas for his sister’s wedding, the last thing he expects is to share it with the one woman who drives him crazy.
Freedom is eccentric and completely content with it. Floating around from job to job, she finds peace and tranquility in everything she does, including tormenting poor, uptight Samuel Grayson. When she finds herself on the same flight as him for her best friend’s wedding, she sees this as the perfect opportunity to get under his skin, something she tries to do every chance she gets. The problem is the more time she spends with him, the more she likes him.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Not for Samuel and Freedom. Will they be able to forget about their trip when they return to Rockland Falls? What if one mistake turns out to be the best thing ever?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
LAWD!!! Sammy and Free!! You two have been killing me this series!! I mean GAH!! I was so excited when I learned that Free was going to be Samuel’s HEA because honestly, I cannot imagine anyone else with him. As opposites as they are, they fit together perfectly in so many ways.
Samuel has always been annoyed yet intrigued by his sisters’ best friend who was essentially adopted into the family. He, however, also couldn’t stand her constant teasing and chaos of a world. Samuel is Mr. White and Black. Everything has a place and life isn’t messy. Life is orderly. Boy does Free rock his world right off its axis.
Freedom is the queen of the hippie life. She doesn’t eat meat. She doesn’t believe in animal testing on products. She is the most reliable if not slightly late friend you can ever want so why is she so attracted to her sister older brother. The man who wears ties to family functions…never mind what those ties do to her libido!!!
These two have fought the chemistry so long so when they are thrown together in the Vegas for Samuel’s sister/Free’s best friend Harper’s wedding as the only single friends, they kiiiinda lose control and kiiiind awake up a mess. Apparently, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas!!
I loved seeing Free be so sure in the decision to stay with Samuel and convince him she was the right person for him. Seeing Samuel so conflicted but stepping out of his norm to TRY this life with Free was adorable. I loved the scene with him in the shop…hilarious!! The entire scene cracked me up.
The conflict of the story made my eyes a bit leaky because we all wanted to punch Samuel. He has lived by his strict controlled world. He is having a hard time learning to trust his heart and not follow his brain. Free is the most amazing character in the series and when we finally got to SEE what her life was before this meeting Harper and her family, it was sad. We understand why family is so important to her and why she clings to those she loves so fiercely.
The epilogue was amazing, and the bonus epilogue made my heart sing!! I was so happy by that little chapter because …well we all needed to see this happen and see the HEA!!

But being in close proximity to her reminds me of what we used to have, and what I still want. Her. Lena The day he walked away to chase his dream was the hardest day of my life, but I powered through. I could never ask Mack to choose between me and the opportunity of a lifetime. That’s why I pushed him toward the latter, despite the heartache it caused. Now, he needs my help. The problem is it’s hard to keep old feelings buried.
