Count Down to Valentine's Day: Day 13: Big in Japan by Jennifer Griffith


Day 13
Big in Japan 
by Jennifer Griffith

Today I not only finish bringing you fabulous clean romance books to celebrate Valentine's Day, but I get to reveal the brand new cover for this book which doubles as a great read for the man in your life too!

This book won the Best Books of 2014 Award on Amazon and there is a rumor going around that it is in the process of being made into a movie! 
Author Jennifer Griffith herself did write a screen play.
First, for those of you who haven't heard about this fantastic read,

the book blurb:

Buck Cooper can’t remember when he became socially invisible—probably when he hit 300 pounds. Now he’s working a dead end job, getting no notice from his boss and no love from the cute secretary he pines for.

But when he gets shanghaied to Tokyo, all of that changes for the mild-mannered Buck—because this blond Texan is about to go sumo!

Peek inside the secret world of sumo, and cheer for Buck as he fights his way through the ranks— against bullies of incredible size—to win the heart of the girl he loves.

Now to introduce you to the amazing author behind this book:

Author bio:

Jennifer Griffith is a wife and a mother of five, and although she’s never seen a Jennifer Griffith is a wife and a mother of five, and writes all manner of romantic comedy--her husband supplies the romance, and the kids supply the comedy. She lives in Arizona now, but in college she lived in Japan for almost two years. At 5'1" tall, she never once sumo wrestled.

Please leave a comment and let Author Jennifer Griffith know what you think of her new cover!

And now for a snippet from this fabulous book:

“It’s me? What’s me?” A rush of hot fear sloshed up from his gut and colored his neck and head red.
            “You’re on the TV screen up there—quick, smile!”
            Buck squinted, smiling in confusion, but then he realized almost 15,000 people were staring at him and screaming. Horror. He strained out his best grin, looking back and forth to no avail. The spotlight blinded him. What was going on? How long would they torture him with this fierce glare? Move it along, already. Yeah, fat guy in the audience here—fat enough to be a blond sumo wrestler. Fine. Pick on someone else now.
            But the light didn’t dissipate, and the audience started chanting and clapping. Then the clapping got rhythmical, and soon Hiro joined it, too. All the air sucked out of Buck’s lungs, like someone just opened an airplane door. Where was that dangly air mask when he needed it?
            “You need to stand up, Buck. Go toward the ring.”
Go toward the light was more like it. Death had hit him swiftly and much more painfully than he’d ever imagined.

Alone in the world, and counting on love to triumph ...

Count Down to Valentine's Day: Day 11: Midnight Runner by Marilee Jackson

Day 11
Midnight Runner
by Marilee Jackson

Nothing like a little medieval romance to get you ready for Valentine's day, right!?

Snippet:

Brian put his long, toned arm around her shoulders.
Moira was startled by his touch, not because she wasn't expecting it, but because of the way it made her feel. She felt a jolt of adrenaline at his gentle yet firm touch. She couldn't keep her head clear with his body so close to her side. Her breathing became labored; she had to force herself to breathe. She tripped over her own feet and almost fell to the ground. Brian caught her, his brow furrowed in concern.
What’s wrong with me? she thought, feeling her face flush with heat. That was really peculiar. I must be tired from my walk here, she decided.

Book Blurb:

Mistreated for years, orphaned Moira dreams of building a new life in the royal city. Little does she know that her dreams will cost more than just her own fate. This medieval tale of romance, mistaken identities, and long-sought redemption will change how you feel about villains and heroines, loss and love.

Author Bio:

Marilee Jackson is an avid reader and has dabbled in writing since the third grade. She stays home and chases her four rug rats around. She lives in a tiny Arizona town (don’t blink you’ll miss it) with her amazing husband and their four children. Midnight Runner is her first novel.
