Guest Blog: Cathryn Cade: At Home in a Story

If you've ever moved, you know what my summer's been like--stress central! I quit my teaching job in western Washington, and moved with my husband back home to Montana. We're just outside Montana's capitol city, population 50K, with my dear Mom. She's tickled to have us here, but until my husband gets her new house built, we're sharing a house and kitchen. No matter how much two women love each other, that is going to lead to stress. It just is.

 

So where to go when it's 95 outside and I need some time alone? Why, you guessed it, girlfriend. We've been here a week, and I've already finished two great books on my Kindle.

 

And now that I'm recovering from packing up an entire household, saying goodbye to friends and the Pacific NW, driving a pickup and boat across 2 1/2 big western states and 3 mountain passes(!!) while following my DH in the moving truck ... I do believe I'm ready to introduce you to my other favorite place on earth - Hawaii. You can't get much different from the wide open spaces of Montana than tropical, lush, humid Hawaii, but I love them both.

 

My Hawaiian Heroes series, contemporary paranormal, debuted in April with Walking in Fire. Readers say the story is like a steamy, romantic mini-vacation to Hawaii. Cheaper than a plane ticket, too!

 

July 31st, Hawaiian Heroes II; Rolling in the Deep continues the sexy, tropical adventures of the Ho'omalu family, tasked by Pele herself as guardians of their Big Island. I hope you'll find this story a dreamy, steamy escape from the stress of your life, whether it's a move, a difficult job, or just your little darlings home for the summer.

 

Here's a bit about the book to whet your appetite! And if you'd like to read the book for FREE, please take a moment to comment, and let me know what your summer is like. I'll do a random drawing, and 5 people will receive a FREE e-copy of the book. Be sure you leave your email addy, or that RB4U has a way to contact you.

 

Aloha!

BLURB:

Desire as deep and dark as the sea…danger as close as a heartbeat.

Daniel Ho'omalu’s intimidating physique, tribal tattoos and mane of black braids frighten most women before they get close enough to discover he likes to play rough. Pile on his perilous vocation as one of a secret society of island guardians, and he’s painfully aware he may never find a mate.

One look at Daniel, and Claire Hunter knows she’s found the man of her sensual dreams. Without hesitation she sinks her teeth into the challenge of landing the big Hawaiian in her bed. But while he clearly wants her, he won’t bite back.

Daniel is certain the beautiful haole is too young and innocent to handle his dark sexual needs. Despite their determination to ignore each other, the island casts its spell, and in one explosive night, Daniel learns that Claire is more than a match for him in every way.

When Daniel must leave her side and dive to the depths of the sea to foil a gang of drug smugglers, Claire trusts that their powerful bond will bring her lover back safely to her arms. But his vow of honor to protect his people could be the one thing that breaks her heart.

Product Warnings: 

Big, hot, tattooed Hawaiian hero who likes it rough—in bed and on the beach. Going deep takes on a whole new meaning in this tropical heat wave.

BIO: 

Cathryn Cade considers herself incredibly blessed to live in the Big Sky Country of Montana. She and her husband share their property with family, a golden retriever, a few cows and the various deer, antelope and elk that wander through their hay fields. From her computer, Cathryn looks out across the prairie at the rugged Rocky Mountains. With not much effort, she can visualize the cowboys, Indians, settlers and vigilantes who once rode the range--some from her own family.

Cathryn's fate was set from the moment she picked up her first book--The Little Red Hen. She hasn't stopped reading since. She wrote her first stories on ruled paper, with large crooked letters and plenty of eraser smudges. She began writing romance when she was home with two little boys in a very small town in the Rockies, had read every romance in the local library, and wanted more! In 2008 she published her first book with Samhain, and hasn't looked back.

When she's not inhabiting her fantasy world--um, when she's not writing, she is usually reading, quilting or trying a new recipe. In the great outdoors, she enjoys boating, hiking and exploring her home state's colorful history in museums and ghost towns. She and her husband also love Hawaii, and on their yearly visits love to snorkel, stroll on the beach and fantasize over mai-tai's about how to make the Big Island their second home.

Cathryn spends way too much time on the internet, and can often be found chatting on Facebook, Twitter, or email. She loves to hear from readers. Stop by her website to read fabulous reviews of her books, and enjoy her Free Reads.
