The Illustrated Romance

Carrie Ann Ryan is another new to Smexy aithor, and I, for one, can’t wait to read this book. The cover is WHOA NELLY!! Let’s get to know her together, shall we? 

-Jenn

Jenn: Tell us 5 fun facts about your book
Carrie Ann:

1. This is a special After the HEA novella where you get to see the characters from Trinity Bound again.
2. You get to see Bay from Enforcer’s Redemption hand out with her cute little baby.
3. Josh and Reed are just as hot as ever. Tee hee
4. Reed will do some painting, but Josh and Hannah might have other ideas.
5. Just when you think Hannah is a bit sad, her men know a few ways to perk her up. *wink*

Jenn: Did you know of Studio Smexy before it ended up on your cover?
Carrie Ann: I’d seen some of your images around, but I hadn’t used you before. Boy was I missing out! Scott Carpenter is fantastic with my covers and knows the exact image I need. Isn’t he great?

Jenn: How well does the cover illustrate your vision of the hero/heroine? Of the story?
Carrie Ann: I think it does quite nicely. Both men are flanking Hannah and it doesn’t look too sensual. Rather it looks like their dealing with their own things and protectiveness—which was what I wanted.

Jenn: If you could pick one element for your cover, what would it be? (chest, landscape, dress…)
Carrie Ann: For me, it’s always the way my hero/heroine look at each other or the reader. I need it to be intense. 🙂

Jenn: Describe your cover in one word (smexy or sexy doesn’t count)
Carrie Ann: Oh darn, not smexy? The first word that came to mind was MINE, but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for. How about THEIRS?

Jenn: Describe yourself in one word
Carrie Ann: Enthusiastic

Jenn: What can readers expect from you next?
Carrie Ann: Many, many things. I have a book out a month this year. A little crazy! This month FINDING ABIGAIL (Holiday, Montana 3) comes out. Plus more Holiday, Montana, Dante’s Circle, and Redwood Pack. Plus a new series, Keys of Fate, coming out in December. Fun, right!?!

Jenn: Is there more #StudioSmexy in your future?
Carrie Ann: I’m pretty sure there is, though it’s up to Scott! Thank you so much for a wonderful image!

Hannah Jamenson has babies on the brain. It seems that her sisters-in-law are expanding their family in the blink of an eye, but Hannah feels left behind. Every time that little test reads negative a little part of her dies and she feels like her Healing powers are failing her. Her mates, Josh and Reed, are doing everything they can to help her deal with their trials and losses, but they too feel like there is nothing they can do.

Just when the lines of what they mean to each other go out of focus, an enemy from Josh’s past is back to prove the things that go bump in the night are real and everything they had held dear is now in jeopardy. In order to fight back and find their way, they’ll need to put everything on the line before they lose it all.

Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 4 and 5 to give you a taste of Reed, Josh, and Hannah. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of the Redwood’s favorite triad.
