Heart and Soul
by Karen Michelle Nutt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
80s
rock star, Haley Rose, and her boyfriend went missing without a trace on
October 31, 1988, and were eventually presumed dead. Three decades later,
thirty-year-old, Rowan Beckett, recalls things only Haley Rose would know, and
she can belt out songs in the same unique fashion. However, Rowan couldn't be
the missing rock star since Haley would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose
have come back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett? Or is Rowan as delusional as her
family suspects?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
He
didn't know what was wrong with him. He never felt an attraction toward a woman
as intensely as he reacted to Rowan just now. It was like the air had been
sucked out of the room, and she was his lifeline. If he glanced away, he'd
perish. No, that wasn't entirely it. If he even blinked, he feared she'd cease
to exist.
"Would
you like a cup of coffee while you wait?" Katie thankfully spoke up,
drawing Rowan's concerned expression away from him and his weird-ass meltdown.
"Tea
if you have it," Rowan replied.
"Coming
right up," he blurted out a little too loudly, but it finally snapped him
out of his bizarre trance. He hurried away or rather sprinted if truth be told.
He needed to gather his composure, or Rowan would surely hightail it right out
of here with the wrong impression of him, and he'd be out a manager. Worse, he
would never have a chance to grasp why he wanted to know all there was to know
about her.
Was
it hot in here? Shit, he was sweating. Anxiety would do that to a man, but what
was he so anxious about?
By
the time he returned with the tea, he would have thought Katie and Rowan were
friends catching up on old times. Rowan was telling Katie about how she carved
giant pumpkins last Halloween to look like Frankenstein's Monster and the other
to look like Dracula.
"Earl
Grey latte with a splash of vanilla," he announced his arrival and slid
the cup toward her on the bar.
Rowan's
face paled, and she stared at the cup as if he handed her some exotic
concoction, she should be wary of sipping.
"Is
something wrong?" he asked, concerned over her odd reaction toward a cup
of tea.
She
finally met his gaze, her big blue eyes wide and curious. "How did you
know this was the way I take my tea?"

GUEST POST:
Five Reasons You Should Read My Book:
Reason 1: You'll have a chance to take a mini-holiday away from your
everyday life.
Who
doesn't want to escape if only for a little while? Getting lost inside Heart
and Soul will let you hit the pause button on your day of chores, work, or
anything else on your To-Do List. For a spell, you'll enter the Heart and Soul
coffeehouse and experience what Rowan and Maverick are working through. Since
joining Heart and Soul's world also allows you to bring your reality with you,
you may find yourself comparing the reality of the character with yours. So as
you sip your Earl Gray Latte (or any other drink of choice), you'll have a
chance to challenge and process insights into your own world. Or perhaps,
you'll reminisce about a concert you'd been, too. Or a relationship that didn't
work out and realize you're not alone. No matter what you experience, when you
leave this mini-holiday and return back to the real world, you'll disembark
with a new perspective.
Reason 2: Face Danger
Rowan
is experiencing things that only Haley Rose, an 80s rock star who vanished and
presumed dead, would have known. Either Rowan's lost her mind, or just maybe
she's been reincarnated. Reading Heart and Soul, you'll have a chance to
vicariously experience Rowan's journey as she tries to solve the mystery to
what happened to Haley Rose. We are wired to avoid conflict and change just
because we don't want to leave our so-called safe zone. However, you can take
the chance with Rowan and face the demons or, in this case, ghosts that will
lead her to the truth.
Reason 3: Inside a person's mind. See how they really tick.
Heart
and Soul will take you into a new realm, and I don't mean just the supernatural
plane of existence but into someone else's mind.
You'll
have the inside scoop. You'll have a glimpse of how to run a coffeehouse.
You'll see how managing the bands that are booked there come to rely on
guidance. You'll know how a rock star finds a new way in life after being in
the spotlight, and how a woman searches for the truth even when she's unsure of
what that truth will be. You'll experience falling in love for the first time
and all the other beautiful firsts.
In
real life, we have doubts, fears and sometimes wouldn't reveal our most inner
thoughts, but with Heart and Soul, you'll peer into Maverick and Rowan's mind
and find out not being perfect is perfectly okay.
Reason 4: You'll have a chance to see the world from a vastly
different point of view than your own.
You'll
step into Rowan and Maverick's shoes and see and feel what they experience. You
don't agree with what they do, but perhaps this new experience will give you an
insight into your own beliefs and maybe open your mind to other possibilities
of what if.
Reason 5: Let's not forget that reading a new book is just
flat-out fun!
Stories
are entertaining, and Heart and Soul will give you deliciously intoxicating
hours of enjoyment. So sit back and enjoy the tale.
