Pure Ice by Rachelle Vaughn Cover Reveal

Blurb:

Landon Turner is your garden-variety good guy who puts everyone else first and has dedicated his life to caring for his quadriplegic brother and working his butt off at his full-time job. There’s nothing glamorous about his existence, but all that might change when he gets the opportunity of a lifetime...

Makeup artist and beauty guru Hannah Heatley can perfect a smoky eye and rock red lipstick like nobody’s business, but she can’t seem to give her own life the makeover it needs. After growing up in the shadow of her famous parents, Hannah is grateful to be out on her own and determined to make things work in Red Valley, California.

With so many responsibilities, Landon doesn’t have time for anything outside of work and home—until he meets Hannah. Now his charismatic coworker is turning his thoughts upside down and inside out and reminding him how much he’s sacrificed. Landon and Hannah don’t know if happily-ever-after exists, but in a city like Red Valley, anything can happen…

Marlowe's Maverick (Bad Boys of Hockey Trilogy #2) by Rachelle Vaughn Cover Reveal

Marlowe's Maverick 

Bad Boys of Hockey Trilogy #2

Published:  November 3, 2017

Blurb:

In Marlowe’s Maverick, Rachelle Vaughn introduces Ryan, Gavin, and Coop—the sexy hockey players who despite not sharing a last name, are brothers at heart. And for Gavin Bozymowski, the thrill of a lifetime is about to arrive in a surprising package…

Red Valley, California seemed like a good place for Marin Marlowe to start over and reinvent herself. Here, cleaning houses for a living, Marin scrubs toilets, washes windows, and dreams of a more meaningful relationship than the one she has with the paper towel hunk and the bald guy on the cleanser she uses. The upside of her thankless job gives her a behind-the-scenes look at Red Valley’s wealthiest residents. At Gavin Bozymowski’s house, she likes what she sees behind door number one. A peek inside his massive walk-in closet reveals rows upon rows of custom-made suits and more designer ties than she could shake her mop at. Her newest client might spend most of his time traveling, but when he’s home, Marin can’t resist the sharp-dressing, smooth-talking hockey player.

After Gavin wakes up to find a gorgeous stranger standing at the foot of his bed, he wishes his heart wasn’t off limits. When Gavin shows Marin the finer things in life, she wishes she wasn’t so far out of his league—and out of his reach. A rough-and-tumble guy like Gavin giving her the romance she’s always dreamed about? Seems bizarre! Then again, crazier things have happened under the sunny California sky.

Marin is sure she has no place in a community like Harlequin Hills, but Gavin knows different. Marin belongs here with him, and convincing this sexy, stubborn woman will be a challenge no bad boy could resist…

Riley's Rebel (Bad Boys of Hockey Trilogy #1) by Rachelle Vaughn: Cover Reveal

Blurb:

The first in a sexy new series, Rachelle Vaughn introduces Ryan, Gavin and Coop—three bad-boy heroes who smoothly mix hot hockey action and scorching sex appeal…

Security guard Jenna Riley is a quintessential good girl. She works hard, stays out of trouble and keeps the peace in the up-and-coming gated community of Harlequin Hills. Day after day she watches as residents drive in and out of the community in their pricy cars, all the while ignoring her curiosity about their glamorous lives. They are Red Valley’s wealthiest and include Ryan Wade, natural goal-scorer for the Razors. He has heartbreaker written all over him and just when Jenna thinks the only glimpse she’ll get of the hockey player with the rugged good looks and killer smile is from afar, a cougar—a real-life, fang-bearing wildcat—starts prowling the neighborhood and all hell breaks loose.

Ryan proves he has moves off the ice that are just as smooth as the ones he uses at the rink, but Jenna doubts she can fall for someone who keeps everyone pushed so far away. This bad boy’s heart is as guarded as the gated community he lives in and half as welcoming. Can Ryan convince her that he’s ready for forever? Or will it be the other way around?

Riley's Rebel, Book 1 of the Bad Boys of Hockey Trilogy will be released October 6th and is available for pre-order now!

Island Ice by Rachelle Vaughn: Interview and Cover Reveal

Island Ice blurb:

City girl Avery Addison is used to the finer things in life. Room service, limousines, a haute couture wardrobe and five-star dining. When she finds herself stranded on a desert island in the South Pacific she’s in for a startling realization. With no cell reception and just a designer coat to shield her from the tropical rain, she is left to devise a plan to get back home. To make matters worse, she soon discovers she’s not alone on the island. Red Valley Razors hockey player Colton Greene is in the same predicament. His laid-back devil-may-care attitude irks Avery to the nth degree. This is a life and death situation after all.

Will Avery and Colton find a way off the island before they strangle each other? Or will a night in a makeshift shelter change Avery’s mind about the cocky jock?

Your ticket to paradise awaits!

Interview 

Please welcome Razors Ice Series author Rachelle Vaughn to Diane’s Book Blog.

What is your favorite part of the Razors Ice Series?

I love that the books are stand-alone and the possibilities for storylines are virtually endless—as long as the main character is a hockey player! The series has featured massage therapists, an aspiring veterinarian, a hair stylist, an optometrist, a fashion designer and even an ornithologist. Doing research for these books is a blast!

If you were stranded on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?

How appropriate! As much as I love Colton and Avery from Island Ice, they are amateurs when it comes to wilderness survival. I’d probably choose Nataliya from Hockey Gods. She isn’t afraid of anything and is the type of woman who could find water, build shelter, and hunt for food with no problem at all. She’d have some great stories to tell to keep me entertained, too.

If you could be best friends with one of your characters, who would it be?

I would be besties with Emily from Underneath It All. She is strong and courageous and I value those qualities. Plus, I’d get to hang out at O’Leary House where there would be endless inspiration and we could enjoy some of Aunt Maureen’s home cooking together! And Emily has a really hot brother!

What inspired you to write your first book?

I have always been an avid reader and wanted to be a writer ever since a young age. Life got in the way of my aspirations for a while and then I got back into reading again. It was actually after reading Leaving Normal by Stef An Holm that I thought, “Hey, I'm finally ready to write a book!” My first obstacle was the hero’s occupation. I knew he had to be wealthy enough to afford a fast car and a nice house. Then the lightbulb came on and I decided he would make a perfect hockey player. And so Home Ice and the Razors Ice series was born.

What is your favorite book that you wrote?

Home Ice will always hold a special place in my heart because it was my first book, but I think Mama’s Ink is my favorite overall. I really love Sadie and Jared’s emotional story and the colorful characters in Mama’s tattoo shop. Reading the epilogue still brings tears to my eyes to this day.

What do you love most about hockey?

Hockey is awesome because it’s so fast-paced that there is never a dull moment. The players are modern-day warriors who have no qualms about pulling out a loose tooth or getting stitched up in the locker room and getting back out there on the ice. They play with torn muscles and broken bones and I respect their intense dedication to the sport. And I love how quickly things can turn around in a game. A team can be up by three in the final round of the playoffs and all of a sudden the underdog comes back and wins it all.

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

I want to say thank you for taking a chance on Home Ice and enabling me to transition into writing full time. I love creating new stories that will make readers laugh and cry and it’s because of them that I get to do what I love.
