Spotlight
and Appearance with author Sabrina York
Whoot whoot! What’s up my crazy and loyal
followers! I have to tell you how beyond ridiculously excited I am today. I
have back with us Ms. Sabrina York. You all know how much I adore her. And she
gives me props in this post. Totes unnecessary but can I tell you how great I
felt when I read this post as I was creating it? And I even got acknowledgement
in her book. I mean how frickin awesome is it to see your own name in print
because of an author’s gratitude?!?!?! I cannot explain it. I have had
acknowledgement before, but that author was a friend so it was different. No
less spectacular, but not exactly the same. This time I fell like this past
year of blogging and reviewing were all just made worth it in one move by a
truly spectacular woman. I do not know Ms. York, just our correspondence
whenever she has been on the blog and my reviews of her books. For her to
recognize me for my reviews just … well, I can’t even explain it. My heart is
happy. *sighs and slowly makes my way off of the cloud** So today is truly a
special day for me and the blog. With pleasure, please allow me to reintroduce
to the blog, the talented and awesome:

**GUEST POST**
**Man Hungry**
Kendra,
I am so excited to be here today to celebrate with you.
When
my first book came out last April, you were one of my first blog stops—and you
were so incredibly sweet to me. You were also one of my first reviews. I can’t
tell you how exciting it was to watch Adam’s Obsession climb the charts because
of endorsements from reviewers like you!
I
celebrated, of course. And tried to thank my readers for their support every
chance I got.
If you aren’t familiar with my work, check out my books and read
an excerpt on my webpage (www.sabrinayork.com) or explore on Amazon or at Ellora’s
Cave.
Today
I am celebrating the release for my sexy funny short story, Man Hungry, the
tale of what happens when two practical jokers are matched up on a blind date.
This book was so much fun to write, I just had to share. It’s a really quick,
fun read. I’ve attached the blurb and excerpt below so you get a taste!
MAN
HUNGRY is an Ellora’s Cave Quickie, so be ready for a wild ride with lots of
action—and ultimate satisfaction—packed into a sizzling short story.
I
also wanted to let you know that I have an exciting new book coming out in
April, REBOUND, which I have talked about below.
**REBOUND**
**Book One; Tryst Island Series**
**BLURB**
Fall in Love on
Tryst Island…
When a group of friends share a vacation
house, wild hijinks, unexpected hook-ups and steamy sex ensue. And true love.
Did I mention they all find true love? And steamy sex?
Kristi Cross has had the hots for her friend, Cameron Jackson as
long as she could remember, but she knows she’s not his type. She’s nothing
like the women he dates. So when he suggests they play for a kiss over a game of Hearts, Kristi can’t
resist. Even if she loses, she wins. Because she’s finally going to taste him.
Of course, one kiss can quickly become
something altogether steamier, especially when both parties are on the rebound…

HUNGRY**
**BLURB**
Blind dates are
hell. At least that’s what Justin thinks before he’s set up with Jessica, a
sizzling-hot schoolteacher who captures his heart—or at least his lust—at first
sight. He can’t let their date fail so he does what any sane, rational
prankster would do—he pretends he’s there to meet someone else. A man-hungry
schoolmarm.
Jessica knows
full well that Justin is her date, so she decides to have a little fun and show
him exactly how man hungry a “schoolmarm” can be. And Jessica’s hunger is all
for Justin. On the dance floor, atop a table, up against a door…she just can’t
get enough.

“You’ve got
to save me.”
Jessica
blinked as the most gorgeous man she’d ever seen slipped into her booth and
grabbed her hand. She barely registered the intrusion. His grasp was that warm.
“I beg your
pardon?” She lifted her voice above the blare of the band. It was a country
band and a country bar—not her preference but a girl had to do what a girl had to
do to meet a decent guy.
“Please.
You look like a compassionate soul.” His crooked grin, ringed as it was by a
scruffy beard, made rivulets of excitement trickle down her spine, as did the
tantalizing dent in his chin. His eyes, large and brown and fringed with long,
thick lashes, glinted with humor. A deep dimple sliced through one cheek. His
Stetson, from which dark curls erupted, was tipped at a jaunty angle. He batted
his lashes—a move that frankly should be against the law. “Can’t you find it in
your heart to save me?”
His Dallas
drawl made her mouth water—she’d always had a thing for cowboys with dented
chins—but she stiffened her spine against his appeal.
She did not
need another puppy dog lover. She’d had enough of those in her life. That’s why
she was here. To meet her friend Penny’s staid, stick-in-the-mud lawyer cousin.
A guy she could have a future with. Who liked country music. And country bars.
He was
probably a Republican.
Good. She
hoped he was.
She hoped
he was a grown-up as well.
Nope. No
more puppy dogs for her. She’d made an oath. And she was bone-tired of cleaning
up their messes on the carpet. Against her will, her lips twitched. She did
love those puppy dogs. And this one was damn cute.
She cleared
her throat. It was clogged with arousal. “Save you from what?”
Her cute
cowboy slash puppy dog shot a look around the crowded bar and hunkered lower
like an outlaw hiding from the sheriff. “The dreaded man-hungry spinster.”
A laugh
bubbled through her. As pickup lines went, at least his was original. And
entertaining. She lifted her beer to disguise her amusement.
“Oh.
Sorry.” His gaze danced back to hers. “I meant to say the dreaded man-hungry
spinster schoolmarm.” He offered a
charming, self-effacing grin.
Jessica
stilled, bottle halfway to her mouth. She
was a spinster schoolmarm. Well, an unmarried teacher at least. Close enough.
The cowboy
leaned in. His warm breath skated across her cheek. It was all she could do not
to nestle right up against him. Melt, maybe. “Just dance with me. Please? One
dance before I have to resign myself to the misery of a blind date?”
Jessica’s
belly lurched. “You’re meeting a blind date?”
Oh. Crap.
So was she. She was a spinster schoolmarm here to meet a blind date.
Oh. He
couldn’t be Justin. Could he? She narrowed her focus on his face, nearly
distracted by the lazy droop of his lids, the full lips, his scent as it wafted
toward her every time he moved. He didn’t look like the guy in the tux down the
line from Penny in her wedding photo, the guy with the short-cropped hair and
formal posture.
The stodgy
lawyer.
Her
attention snagged on his jawline and a shiver raced through her. She had a
thing for a hard, square, dented chin. Yeah, his hair was longer, he was
definitely scruffy and he was dressed in a very unlawyerlike long-sleeved
t-shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. But she’d recognize that chin anywhere.
“Ho yeah.”
He nodded and an unruly curl escaped onto his forehead.
“My cousin’s friend.” He sent her a pleading look. “Did I mention she’s a
schoolteacher?”
Certainty
stirred in her gut—along with the little demon of mischief that lived there. He
was Justin, her date.
He just
didn’t know it.
Oh, this
was going to be fun.

Two people with complete misconceptions
about one another. And one knows the truth. Mischievous side? I say fun side!
Definitely going to be reading this one as well. AAAANNNNDDDD???????? Did I
tell you or did I tell you? I mean that excerpt had to grap you. You know it
did! But if you are still not quite sure, remember that MAN HUNGRY is a
novella. Or those of you who don’t know, a novella is a short story which
translates to a very quick read – generally an hour or two at the most. Want a
bigger taste of Ms. York to see if she is a goof fit or you? Then MAN HUNGRY is
the perfect choice. I am confident in saying that you will all love it and then
be compelled to buy REBOUND. *wink* So git to it and read!!!
I would like to thank Ms. York once again
for taking the time to write a post for us as well as drop in and spend some
time. I hope that you all enjoyed getting to know about Ms. York and her books.
I hope you will support her and buy copies of her books for yourself. After
all, what better way to support an author? Have a wonderful day and until next
time …
HAPPY READING!!!
