Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it's been a dream.

Her passion for writing didn't start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn't long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa's brain and The Love Series was born.

Bestselling Author of the Savannah Series. I published my first novel Irresistible Desire last March, and since then it's been whirlwind year! I love my die hard fans #KaydensAngels!

I'm 29yrs old and the mother of three gorgeous children ranging in the ages of 10, 6 and 2. I also run Bailey Boopers Boutique full time along with writing. I love to stay busy!! I love traveling and the beach, so I'm excited to mix the two when I travel to FL, TX, AL, NC, CA..ect through out the yr meeting my kick ass fans!!

A stay-at-home mom, Chelsea spends her days drinking entirely too much caffeine, baking sugar-sweet treats she never eats, and jotting down notes for her novels. A dreamer at heart, she's creating happily ever afters. She's a lover, a writer, a dreamer, would rather type than speak, wants to remember everything, loves lots of ice in her drinks, and is slightly introverted.

Scarlett lives in the Midwest with her sexy husband, two girls, and three furbabies. She dabbled in writing right after college but it wasn't until she took up blogging about eight years ago that she started writing seriously. After writing a few boring service pieces for some online publications, she went back to her true passion, fiction. When she's not busy writing steamy stories, she can be found with her nose in a book, camping, or geocaching with her family. She loves Diet Coke, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and 80's hair bands.

Marissa Carmel has loved writing ever since a young age. She has a duel degree in History and Political Science, but took as many creative writing classes in college as she could. She spent most of her twenties bartending which is where she met her husband and a multitude of interesting people. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s hanging out with her family, experimenting in her kitchen or doing yoga on the living room floor.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with six books out and many more to come. She was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia.

How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You by T.M. Franklin ~*~*~*~ Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway

Today, as part of the blog tour for How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You, by T.M. Franklin, we hear from the star of the story - 17-year old Oliver Holmes.

(Minor Spoiler Warning)

I Heart Books: Oliver, some people make lists because they like being organized, some like to see how much they have accomplished. Why do you make lists?
Oliver Holmes: A little of both, I suppose. I’ve made lists ever since I was a little kid. It helps me to see it all written out – what I need to do to accomplish a given goal. There’s also a lot of satisfaction to checking items off a list. *shrugs* It’s always worked for me.
IHB: Do you find that your name, Oliver Holmes, and your brother's name, Sherlock Holmes, is a disadvantage?
OH: You’d think so, wouldn’t you? For me, it’s not that big a deal. I mean, how many teenagers do you know who’ve ever heard of Oliver Wendell Holmes, anyway? Not that I go advertising my middle name around everywhere, but even if I did, most kids wouldn’t get it. I have a harder time with people calling me Ollie. I hate that.
As for my brother, he’s always embraced his name. He read his first Sherlock Holmes novel when he was five. Sure, it was a kid’s version, but he graduated to the real thing about a year ago. He’s seen all the movies. Made my parents get Netflix so he could watch the BBC version. He’s carried around a notebook to jot down so-called evidence since he could write, and he even used to wear one of those deerstalker hats. My mom drew the line at a pipe, though.
IHB: What the heck was your mother thinking when she named her children Oliver and Sherlock?
OH: *laughs* Well, our parents always say they gave us big names because they wanted us to have big dreams and big goals. Our parents are a little…different, I guess you’d say.
IHB: Why didn't you run when you were confronted at the parking lot after the play?
OH: Oh, that… *sigh* Yeah, I guess I could have handled all of that a little differently. But run? No, there really wasn’t any way to do that. I was in this courtyard and there were walls on three sides, and the only way out was through those guys. I didn’t stand a chance.
IHB: Were you interested in someone else before Ainsley?
OH: Oh, there was this little girl, Lucy, when I was in Kindergarten, but it didn’t last. I thought she liked me, but I tried to kiss her once and she gave me a black eye. She later told me I could be her boyfriend if I promised never to talk to her ever again. After that, girls pretty much had cooties until fifth grade, when Ainsley moved here.
IHB: What exactly is it about Ainsley that attracted you to her?
OH: She was just so…bright, I guess? She walked into the classroom in this yellow sundress with this shining red hair and huge smile and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. She was like sunshine all wrapped up in a person. I was in awe. It took me over a year before I could even say a word to her.
IHB: What happens when you guys graduate? Do you think T.M. will follow up this book with a sequel?
OH: Oh, I don’t know. You’d have to ask her that. I guess there could be a story there. I’ll be headed to MIT, of course, and Ainsley’s still figuring out what she’s going to do. The long-distance thing can be tough, I hear, but I do care about her a lot.
IHB: Now that you have the girl, what's the plan for both of you?
OH: We’re taking it one day at a time. We’re still pretty young, you know? So we don’t look too far into the future. But Ainsley’s definitely important to me, so I do whatever I can to show her that as often as I can. *pauses and smiles* I might have a list for that.

Seventeen-year-old Oliver Wendell Holmes (Yes, his parents are just that peculiar, but his brother's name is Sherlock, so it could have been worse) knows that he's different. He's quirky, awkward, and he's okay with that. Oliver also likes making lists-meticulous procedures for achieving his goals, step-by-step. Whether it's "How to Get an A in Chemistry" or "How to Get Accepted to MIT," he has a process, and it's worked for him so far. He doesn't even care that the popular kids mock him. Oliver's got his eye on the prize.
So when he decides it's time to declare his feelings for Ainsley Bishop, the girl of his dreams, it's only natural for him to make a list-a point-by-point strategy to win her heart. He knows it will take a grand gesture for her to see all he has to offer, and her approaching birthday provides the ideal opportunity for Oliver to put his plan into action.
Finding the perfect gift is a challenge Oliver meets with his usual dogged determination. He'll need to watch her carefully for clues to pinpoint exactly what he should give her. And along the way, he might just learn that what Ainsley really needs is not quite what he expected.

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You by T.M. Franklin 
Review by Wennie Conedy

Stars: 5 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ!

Perfect for teenagers and the young-at-heart.
An advanced copy was provided via NetGalley in lieu of an honest review.

I fell in love ... yes, I did ... I fell in love with Oliver. I am enchanted and thoroughly enamored.

Oliver is a bright (A student) high school student. He is very well versed in computers and gaming, has a best friend, Viney, volunteers at a retirement home, and oh, he loves to make lists. For anyone who gets the satisfaction of seeing a check mark against a task in his/her list, then you will understand Oliver's penchant for making them. I make lists, and I love seeing those check marks.
Oliver has a list of everything -- how to get to MIT, how to get good grades, and yes, how to get Ainsley Bishop to fall in love with him. One big drawback to his plan, good looking star football player with muscles-in-all-the-right-places, Ian, Ainsley's boyfriend. Clint's presence does not dissuade Oliver from his plan, and how he executes it will have you in parts giggling, clutching your chest with cuteness, shedding tears, and overall rooting for his success.

T.M. Franklin has written as very successful story that will keep you enthralled. The storyline and pacing makes a whole lot of sense, and each scene is crucial to the development of the plot. There are no 'fluff' chapters. Each scene is integral to the development of the story. The pacing is crisp, and the editing is very well done.

The book is written from Oliver's point of view, which is perfect in my opinion, as you get to savor and experience Oliver's self-deprecating humor, his frustrations, his disbelief and his "aha" moments.
The book's organization follows Oliver's list -- from joining the drama club to finding a birthday give -- no scratch that -- finding the PERFECT birthday gift. And Oliver attacks this list much like how Patton strategized to help win World War II. And interspersed with the action tasks are gems of a young boy's understanding of what it would take to get the girl of his dreams to notice him. And if you'll notice, it's not rocket science, but it does lead to self-discovery for Oliver and the people he loves.

T.M. Franklin successfully created a protagonist who I found endearing and unforgettable, but she didn't stop there. Her secondary characters, and Oliver's interaction with them make the story come alive. The pages pulse with the energy, angst, and frustration that permeates teenage life. I guffawed out loud when the name of his annoying brother was revealed, and it made absolute sense why his brother was doggedly observing Oliver. Oliver's friend Viney is the perfect foil for Oliver as Viney brings reality and understanding to Oliver's plans. And Oliver's parents are wonderful ... and as much as they impart what they know and learn to Oliver, they get so much more in return. Let's not forget Ainsley Bishop -- the object of Oliver's attentions -- as she is described in the book, I do now wonder why Oliver had such a big crush on her.

And Hank ... how can I not mention Hank? Oliver's very special relationship with Hank will touch your heart as it definitely touched Oliver's.

How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You is one book you MUST MUST MUST read. It is a book that I know I will read over and over and over again -- and truly, I think this one will make a wonderful movie.

T.M. Franklin started out her career writing non-fiction in a television newsroom. Graduating with a B.A. in Communications specializing in broadcast journalism and production, she worked for nine years as a major market television news producer, and garnered two regional Emmy Awards, before she resigned to be a full-time mom and part-time freelance writer. Her first published novel, MORE, was born during National Novel Writing month, a challenge to write a novel in thirty days. MORE was well-received, being selected as a finalist in the 2013 Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book Awards, as well as winning the Suspense/Thriller division of the Blogger Book Fair Reader’s Choice Awards.
In addition to MORE and its sequel, The Guardians, Franklin penned the Amazon best-selling short stories A Piece of Cake andWindow, which also won a Blogger Book Fair Reader’s Choice Award for Short Story/Fantasy. Her new YA romance, How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You, is Franklin’s first love story without a paranormal or fantasy element, although she believes love is the best kind of magic.
TWELVE, the final installment in the MORE Trilogy will be released in the fall of 2014.

The moon shone bright over a crystal clear lake. Thousands of stars were reflected, like floating diamonds sparkling. The breeze blew gently through red cedar, pine, and maple. The clean mountain air reminded him of camping with his family when he was a boy. It had been so long since he had the liberty, and desire, to enjoy nature. The water called to Devlin. Carefully, without a sound, he pulled the clothes from his body and placed them on the stump beside him. With a slow breath, he walked into the gentle ripples, creating larger crests of his own. Warm water greeted him. He dove under, swimming deeper. A splash caught Devlin’s attention. He broke the surface to find nothing, and no one. Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses. A lone werewolf was close. Panic flared through him, and he started for the shore, but a woman surfaced before him. A slow smile spread on her face when he flailed back, splashing her in his surprise. “Your heart’s pounding.” Amusement sparkled in her pale blue topaz eyes as she placed one small hand over his chest. Warmth washed through him offering a calm he couldn’t remember ever feeling. Yet, he was terrified the Dales were tracking him. A dream, nothing more than a dream. They can’t find me, he reminded himself. “You startled me,” Devlin replied. “Hmm.” Her foot brushed against his calf, sending a shiver through his entire body. She tapped her finger to her chin. “You remind me of someone, but I can’t figure out who.” Intrigued, and certainly heading toward aroused, he asked, “What makes you say that?” One corner of her shiny pink mouth lifted impishly. “Don’t know, but you do.” Her voice had taken on a husky purr which effectively made his blood pump faster. A dream, just a dream, he told himself. Then he did something bold, something he hadn’t done in so long he was sure he’d fail, even in a fantasy. “What’s a sweet little wolf like you doing out here all alone?” Her giggle was melodic as her already dazzling eyes lit up. “Looking for love in all the wrong places.” As if on cue, his resistance broke. Her tiny waist fit perfectly in his hands, her hips flared in a way that made him groan. Devlin propelled them closer to the shore, until his feet touched bottom. Before he could make his move, her legs locked around his hips and her fingers caressed up his shoulder and neck to delve into his hair. She grazed her lips over his. Afraid to take things too far, he slid his hands up her back, pressing her full breasts against his chest. Needing more of her taste, he deepened their kiss. Devlin felt more alive than he could remember. A dream, just a blasted dream, his brain chimed in. The knowledge didn’t stop him from sweeping his tongue into her mouth when she opened to him. Her body undulated in tune with his, and her heated core slid against his hardened length. The urge to bury himself in her was too much. Pulling back, he panted, “Your name? Need your name, Precious.” “Precious?” She licked her lips as she stared back at him with something like awe in her big blue eyes. He tipped his forehead to hers and breathed in her wild but seductive scent. “You’ve set me free of my old life. You’ve given me something to look forward to.” He didn’t know where the words came from, but he didn’t dare take them back. They felt right. “Jamie Abrams. You better come to me.” There was a command hidden in her sweet sassy voice, one he truly wanted to obey. “I’ll be waiting.” He nodded, rolling her name through his head like a fine wine over his tongue.

Brandy L Rivers is the author of the Others of Edenton Series. There are more Others of Edenton in the works. She is also working on the first couple books in the Others of Seattle series.
