ALICE CLAYTON - WALLBANGER
EIN NACHBAR ZUM VERLIEBEN

• erscheint am 1. Januar 2015
im Sieben Verlag
Cocktail Serie #1
• 368 Seiten

SUPER LUSTIG & SEXY!!!!






Als Caroline Reynolds nach San Francisco zieht, sollte sie eigentlich überglücklich sein. Sie hat eine aufstrebende Designer-Karriere, ein Büro mit Meerblick, einen Kater, den sie über alles liebt, eine Küchenmaschine zum Niederknien und ein Killer-Zucchinibrot-Rezept, aber seit ihrem letzten Lover leider keinen O mehr und dieser Umstand macht sie ziemlich fertig.
Hinzu kommt ihr neuer, lauter Nachbar. Jede Nacht malträtiert dieser mit dem übertriebensten und lautesten Sexleben, das sie je gehört hat, die offene Wunde ihrer Schlaf- und O-losigkeit. Als das „wallbanging“ gegen ihre Wand droht, sie aus dem Bett zu schubsen, konfrontiert Caroline ihren bisher ungesehenen Nachbarn. Die nächtliche Begegnung auf dem Flur hinterlässt zunächst gemischte Gefühle und Verwirrung.

Eine Geschichte über Liebe und Frust auf den ersten Blick. Unwiderstehlich, sexy, und köstlicher als das beste Zucchinibrot der Welt.


Die Serie hat mehrere Bücher - aber anfänglich wurde Wallbanger als Einzelbuch geschrieben - es endet also nicht offen ☺
Buch #2 - Rusty Nailed - ist dann so eine Art Epilog-Buch zu Wallbanger und danach kommen noch weitere Bücher mit anderen Darstellern ☺ Und als Abschluss kommt noch Buch 2.5 - bzw. dann als 5. Buch - noch mal von den 2 Wallbangern ☺


UND JETZT DAS INTERVIEW MIT ALICE ☺



INTERVIEW
exklusiv für euch Shadies ☺ !!!

Frage #1
Dein perfekter Simon & deine perfekte Caroline?

In meinem Kopf war Simon IMMER Jensen Ackles aus SUPERNATURAL. Und ich denke Jennifer Lawrence würde eine super Caroline sein, wobei ich auch immer fand dass Jennifer Love Hewitt toll passen würde!





Frage #2
Warum spielt WALLBANGER in San Francisco? PS - Adminchen LIEBT diese Stadt! ☺

Ich hatte das Glück für eine Firma zu arbeiten, die dort ihren Sitz hat, und ich durfte 4-5 Mal pro Jahr beruflich hinreisen. So oft dass ich ein Lieblings-Hotel und ein Lieblings Restaurant hatte - ein Lieblings-Imbiss wo es die besten Suppen-Klösschen gibt etc. Als ich dann überlegt hatte wo die Welt von Wallbanger stattfinden sollte, war das eine einfache Entscheidung.

Frage #3
Dein allerliebstes Rezept - das man mit einem Kitchen Aid Mixer machen kann...

Caroline's Lieblingsrezept natürlich: Zucchini-Brot. Das ist ein altes Familienrezept. Das Rezept poste ich auch bald auf meinem Blog.

Frage #4
Dein Lieblings-Cocktail?

Bloody Mary. Auf alle Fälle Bloody Mary. Und vielleicht 3-4 Mal im Jahr ein ganz dreckiger Martini.

Frage #5
Werden deine anderen Bücher auch bald in Deutschland erscheinen?

Das hoffe ich doch sehr! #Daumendrück

Frage #6
Werden wir dich 2015 in Deutschland sehen?

2015 weiss ich nicht, aber für 2016 plane ich mindestens zwei Wochen Entdeckungsreise im Sommer.


Und hier das ganze auf Englisch:



1 - Your perfect Simon and Caroline are…
In my head, Simon has ALWAYS been Jensen Ackles, from Supernatural. And I think Jennifer Lawrence would be an incredible Caroline, although I have also thought Jennifer Love Hewitt would be pretty spectacular as well!


2 - Why San Francisco? (P.S. I LOOOVE that city!)
I was lucky enough to work for a company based in SF, so I got to visit for business at least 4-5 times each year. Enough that I had a favorite hotel, a favorite restaurant, a favorite place for soup dumplings, etc. So when I started to imagine the world of Wallbanger, it was an easy decision.

3 - Your favorite ever recipe - bakable with a kitchen aid mixer!
Caroline's favorite recipe of course, zucchini bread! I'll be posting it on my blog soon, it's an old family recipe.

4 - Favorite Cocktail!
Bloody Mary. Hands down, Bloody Mary. And about 3-4 times a year, an extremely dirty martini.

5 - Will  any of your other books be released in Germany anytime soon?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

6 - Will we see you in Germany in 2015?
Not sure about 2015, but for sure in 2016! I'm planning at least two week to explore during the summer time, and I can't wait!

FACEBOOKHOMEPAGEGOODREADSTWITTER


Alice Clayton ist eine Autorin die total verknallt in ihren Kitchen Aid Mixer ist. Sie lebt in St. Louis und arbeitet gerne im Garten - aber sie hasst Unkraut! Sie backt gerne, aber hasst es danach aufzuräumen.
Nach dem sie Jahre lang in der Kosmetikindustrie arbeitete, hat Alice mit 33 zum ersten Mal einen Stift in die Hand genommen um eine neue Karriere zu beginnen. So konnte sie ihre Liebe fürs Geschichtenerzählen mit ihrer Vorliebe für die Albernheit kombinieren.
Alice mag gerne saure Gurken, Bloody Mary's und acht Stunden Schlaf - und jetzt ist sie aber auch fertig damit von sich in der dritten Person zu reden ☺

Advanced copy received from author for an honest review

M/m romance is my current book obsession.  Can't get enough of it.  

So when Ms Johnson offered an advanced copy of Dance With Destiny, there was no thinking about it.  Let me at it!

Tony is that hunka hunka burnin' fireman that any woman (or man!) would want warming their bed.

Dom is the successful businessman, content with his lot in life, though events from the past weigh heavy on his mind - and heart.

When this duo have a chance meeting, they have no idea how much their lives are going to change. 

They have that instant attraction/insta-lust thing going on strong.  Both unsure of the other but keen to know more.

Boy, the sparks between this pair fly!  When they find themselves thrown into the same social circles again, you just know that things are going to hot up.

Everyone around them can feel it too, but so much denial between them.  Come on fellas, get your act together and get it on!!

Of course the road to true happiness is never a smoothe one, and boy oh boy do Tony and Dom have their work cut out for them!

Dance with Destiny is more than just a m/m romance.  There are so many other things going on with them that makes their story so believable.

It is more a story of hurt, healing, acceptance.  Ms Johnson deals with these issues in a compassionate and natural way, things don't feel forced and it draws you further into the story. Your heart just hurts along with our lovelies.

There is a complexity to the relationships of all the characters in Dance with Destiny.  Nothing seems to come easy for our pair - mostly through their own distrust, miscommunications, lies and secrets.  Nothing good can ever come from secrets.

One of the biggest things you will get out of this story is what is really family?  Are those that are supposed  to love you unconditionally the ones that always do?  Or is family more than blood

So, can Tony and Dom get past all their issues and forge ahead in their relationship?
For that, you are going to have to read for yourself.

Ms Johnson has only just started to tip her toes into the m/m pool, but she is quickly becoming on of the authors I will always read.

I look forward to what she has for us next.




Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girls body. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasnt yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.

When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you arent enrolled, you cant attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.

Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. Its a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

Now, Sloan is a tattooed, purple haired mom of two kids, one of which was a thank you present to her husband for letting her get a Staffordshire Terrier with more anxiety issues than Sloan has, which is saying something. Shes been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because shes been known to lose herself in a good book and forget that she has somewhere to be.
