I have several major passions…. Most of you who’ve stopped by my page pretty regularly know that one of my big addictions is coffee. In fact, it’s a big part of what began a beautiful friendship with one of my favorite authors (who has since become a friend), Lissa Matthews.
We have a mutual passion for coffee, experimenting in the kitchen, hotties…and she’s a terrific writer. I was a total fan girl first. She made my day the first time she responded to one of my Tweets. Her Blue Jeans and Hard Hats series is one of my all time favorites. Her Simple Need series? A close second… And don’t even get me started on how much I love her gay romances. Yum!
And then she comes out with this awesome new series that surrounds some of our favorite commonalities. How could I not share something with a cover this HAWT and a story this fun?
Don’t believe me? Check out this blurb:
Derek Forrester couldn’t lie his way out of a paper bag, but somehow he’s managed to convince his less than approving high society mother of his engagement to the teal haired, dangerously curved, tattoo covered, coffee cart owning girl named Peggy.
Peg, not ‘Peggy’, is far from amused by Derek’s fib, but the way he kissed, left her wondering what might have been if she hadn’t been paid to play along.
The stakes are higher than the original bargaining price, a new business is getting off the ground, and it’s going to take a whole lot more than caffeine to get through this wedded mess.
Sounds like terrific fun, right? The Tattooed Barista has one of the coolest, most unique covers I’ve seen in a long time and I’m in love with it.
Want a chance to win a copy? I want you to share your favorite coffee shop drink and the title to one of Lissa Matthews’ books that YOU think is most intriguing based on the cover or blurb…or if you’ve read her stuff. You have until the end of September 30th EST to qualify to win!
And if you haven’t met Lissa yet, Stop by her Facebook or Twitter and say hello. Not for points. Just because she’s cool as $hit….and tell her I’ve been bragging on her and how amazing I think she is.

HI there. I really liked the cover and blurb for The Tattooed Barista. I’ve never read Lissa Matthews, but when I clicked on the link to her Amazon page, the cover of Inked by the Bear caught my attention. As I love shifter romances, I will have to pick it up. My favorite coffee house beverage is the hot caramel macchiato from Starbucks. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.

I like a good cinnamon latte if I’m not drinking black coffee. I actually like The Tattooed Barista cover, in comparison to the other covers of the Lone Star Sweets series. Thanks!

Beautiful cover. I love the tattoos and the blue heels! You are going to think I’m crazy but I don’t drink coffee. I love my tea and will go through half a dozen cups a day but the only time I come close to coffee is the odd occasion I have a Baileys coffee for dessert in a restaurant.
Good luck to Lissa with her new series.

I don’t think you’re crazy. My grandma was a Brit. My sis inherited her tea love from her. My mom is a big Asian tea drinker. I’m considered the coffee oddball in my family. 🙂

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! It would be so much easier to choose a book if she didn’t have about 8 million I want to read! I finally chose Shifting Currents. My other choices went together, so that wouldn’t work. 🙂
My favorite coffee shop drink is simple: I like a cappuccino with just a bit of Splenda and some cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Thanks for introducing me to a new author.

Our local coffee shop has a delicious Twister Frappe. It is so good! And now I’m craving one…. I have seen the cover of The Tattooed Barista a couple times now and love it! My TBR is so long but the cover alone has bumped this one up quite a bit. Thanks for the chance!
