Muscling Through now available on Amazon!

[jl_merrow]

Yes, Muscling Through (which some of you may remember under the working title of Breaking Eggs) is now available to pre-order on Amazon!  Release date is July 19th. 

 

Here’s the blurb:

The bigger they come, the harder they fall... in love.

Cambridge art professor Larry Morton takes one, alcohol-glazed look at the huge, tattooed man looming in a dark alley, and assumes he’s done for. Moments later he finds himself disarmed—literally and figuratively. And, the next morning, he can’t rest until he offers an apology to the man who turned out to be more gentle than giant.
Larry's intrigued to find there's more to Al Fletcher than meets the eye; he possesses a natural artistic talent that shines through untutored technique. Unfortunately, no one else seems to see the sensitive soul beneath Al’s imposing, scarred, undeniably sexy exterior. Least of all Larry's class-conscious family, who would like nothing better than to split up this mismatched pair.
Is it physical? Oh, yes, it’s deliciously physical, and so much more—which makes Larry’s next task so daunting. Not just convincing his colleagues, friends and family that their relationship is more than skin deep. It’s convincing Al.

Contains comic misunderstandings, misuse of art materials, and unexpected poignancy.

That's great! *runs to look*

Thank you! *beams*

Yay for tattooed men! But July???? It's so far away!

[jl_merrow]

I know, I know - although this one's actually getting on the e-shelves much quicker than Camwolf, so it doesn't seem quite so bad to me! ;)

Btw, how long is it? And I agree, the cover is pretty good.

[jl_merrow]

It's 30k, at least 20k of which are entirely due to agent provocateur josephine_myles, who kept on saying "Go on, why don't you put a bit in where.... " ;)

And yes, I'm very pleased with the cover! :D

"Agent provocateur"is her middle name.

Yay! I'm glad you went with that version of the cover in the end - it looks great!

The blurb is intriguing, what with it being written from Larry's POV.

And yes, it is deliciously physical - your sexiest book yet, darling ;D

[jl_merrow]

Thank you! *hugs* :D
Yes, having Al as a narrator did sort of shift the focus in the physical direction! ;)

Yay! It looks and sounds great :)

[jl_merrow]

Thank you! I'm particularly excited/nervous about this one because I'm so fond of my narrator, Al - and his mum! ;)

Sounds great! Boy, they're sure making you some lovely covers.

[jl_merrow]

Thank you! And yes, I'm well chuffed with the covers I've had so far! :D

Well done! You're frighteningly productive...

:)

[jl_merrow]

If it makes you feel better, I've only managed around 500 words in the last month! ;)

Thank you!

Sounds interesting...

[jl_merrow]

My beta reader described my character choice as "brave"... ;)

This and Camwolf coming up... they both sound like so much fun, I can't wait!!! Except I have to... argh! ;-D

[jl_merrow]

*g* You're not the only one frustrated by having to wait! Samhain are so organised, I already have the final books for Muscling Through in my possession - but I still have to wait until July to share them! Argh!
And thank you! :D
