It was supposed to be a honeymoon … a cruise.
If only Nathan hadn’t called off the wedding a month before.
If only Bree hadn’t given in to their friends who convinced her to use the tickets for the nonrefundable honeymoon anyway.
If only Nathan hadn’t done the same, not realizing he was being set up.
If only there hadn’t been a hurricane off the Gulf, spinning tornadoes across the state of Texas and canceling flights.
But there was. And now Bree and Nathan are stuck in Dallas, Texas, with all their feelings up in the air, tickets they can’t use, and an attraction for each other that won’t die as easily as their engagement.
That’s the premise of my newest book, the second in my Roadtrip Romance series, Roadtrip for Two. It just released last Tuesday, so I’m pretty excited right now.
Honestly, the book was actually supposed to be about a honeymoon. The original title was Honeymoon Mayhem. But, well, characters tend to take on a mind of their own. And (spoiler alert) their relationship ended at the end of the first book, Destination Romance. Of course, with well-meaning friends who don’t mind meddling, things don’t have to stay that way. Right?
Bree decides since she’s never seen Dallas, she’ll just take advantage of this crazy situation and explore a bit. Nathan, ever the gallant hero, isn’t comfortable leaving her there by herself. So, he tags along. Hence the name of the book. ;)
But I, as an author, can’t let things go smoothly. So there are curveballs and situations neither expected. There are other characters to help steer Bree and Nathan in the right direction. As in all my books, there’s yummy food and fun locations. And … there’s romance, of course.
But I won’t give any more away. Except a copy of my book.
If you’d like a copy of Roadtrip for Two, and are a US reader, leave a comment below. If you’d packed for a cruise and got stuck in Dallas instead, what do you think you might wish you’d packed and didn’t? Or, have you ever gone on a trip expecting it to go one way and found it turn completely into something different?
Recovering from heartbreak is hard when the ex-fiancé tags along.
Dallas, Texas wasn’t in the plans when Bree Henley set out to use the nonrefundable honeymoon tickets from her canceled wedding. Nor was running into ex-fiancé Nathan Hart. But their mutual friends and the weather have other ideas. A hurricane cancels their cruise and Bree decides to turn the disaster into a roadtrip for one, never imagining Nathan would object.
Nathan is furious when he uncovers the plot to get him back with Bree. But he can’t just let her go roaming around the big city of Dallas alone. Though he knows calling off their wedding was the right thing to do, he still cares for Bree. And before he knows what hits him, he’s volunteered to tag along. Suddenly, it’s a trip for two.
Spending the week together might remind them of why they fell in love. But is it enough to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of “til death do us part”?
Amy R Anguish grew up a preacher's kid, and in spite of having lived in seven different states that are all south of the Mason Dixon line, she is not a football fan. Currently, she resides in Tennessee with her husband, daughter, and son, and usually a bossy cat or two. Amy has an English degree from Freed-Hardeman University that she intends to use to glorify God, and she wants her stories to show that while Christians face real struggles, it can still work out for good.
I am sure I would wish that I had brought different clothes and shoes.
We took a trip to Fort Worth in November–The sunny South, right? We quickly discovered that we needed the winter clothes we left at home in New York. Brrr!
Probably better walking shoes, if nothing else, right?
Thanks for commenting!
Yes! Even the South gets cold sometimes! ;)
I’m guessing if you got stuck unable to go on the cruise you’d planned, you would wish you hadn’t bought a suitcase full of fancy outfits and high heels and wish you’d brought more good books to pass the time you should have been enjoying the holiday!
Good books are always a must on my packing list! :)
oh but this sounds wonderful. I would love to read this. I love stories that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. this sounds like one of those books. change is hard for most people, but for some it is something to try hard to avoid. if I were to get stuck in another state and not be prepared, I would just have to make the best of it all and turn it into an adventure.
Sounds like you and my character Bree would get along well!
I’ve never been on a cruise, but I’m guessing you’d take along fancy clothes. I’m much more comfortable in jeans and sneakers, so I’m sure I’d have a couple of pairs of those, anyway!
I don’t think they only wear fancy clothes. Just for a few dinners. I agree with being more comfortable in jeans and t-shirts, though.
This is on my Kindle already! But it has to wait until I’m done my Christmas reading LOL. My suitcase would probably be full of shorts and tanks for all the fun excursions I’d planned to go on with only one nice outfit. What would I need differently for time in Dallas? I don’t know! I’ve only been to Dallas in September, and I spent 99% of the time in a hotel for a conference…
I totally understand being in Christmas reading mode. I am too. Tank tops would probably be great for Dallas in summer. It’s HOT!
Probably different shoes and clothes and more books or my Kindle.
I always take my kindle when traveling. So many books in such a small space! Just don’t forget your charging cord. ;)
I would say more books as well as different clothes than swimsuits. Thank you for sharing. God bless you. Merry Christmas.
Probably more dressy clothes than relaxing and exploring clothes.
That could be a definite problem!
True. Not as much need for a swimsuit when not on the ocean.
clothes
Clothes are always important. ;)
I would probably wish I had packed more books and some hiking shoes.
Better walking shoes definitely might be nice.
I would think one would need completely different clothes in Dallas than on a cruise ship. Your book sounds fun. I will have to add that to my TBR list.
Merry Christmas.
Dallas and a cruise are definitely quite different. Thanks for adding to your TBR!
I don’t know how to comment! So I am tagging my comment onto someone else’s!
I’d really like to read Roadtrip For Two by Amy Anguish.
