Victoria: Today I've got Austin from Ember's Secret in my chair. He's a professed foodie and now I'll regret not asking him what he likes to do with food. Thank you for swinging by, Austin.
Now I won't keep readers in suspsense, let's jump right into the fire Would you rather be caught with your pants around your ankles or tied naked to a pole?
Austin: Uuuuuuuh……...pants around ankles. Definitely. Yeah. Ember doesn’t need any other ideas.
Victoria: Really? I'm curious as to what ideas she has, but instead I'll stick to my original questions.Are you a love at first sight or love is for suckers type of person?
Austin: I was the second type before I met Ember. I know, romantic and sweet and blegh. But true. She’s kind of amazing.
Victoria: All good women are, but you're right too romantic. When I say the word 'masticle' what do you think it means?
Austin: ...I know what a manacle is...and I know a couple different words that start with ‘mast,’ but that is a new one on me………...oh shit. Does that mean what I think it means? Like…..oh holy shit.
Victoria: *laughs* I believe I haven't seen that shade of pink before, and thanks to my flogger and my submissive I've seen lots of shades. On that note: What's the kinkiest thing sexually you've ever done?
Austin: Sure as hell nothing with a ‘masticle.’ But Em’s getting a lot more adventurous. She likes….using food in reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally interesting ways.
Victoria: *snaps fingers* I knew it. Chefs are definitely dangerous ones in the bedroom. Just imagine if she liked pain too. Mmmm... moving on. Last question for you: Tell readers in 1 sentence why your book is what they need?
Austin: Cuz I’m in it? Oh, that’s not a real reason. Because it’s full of everything you need--star-crossed lovers, secrets, an overprotective father (who I totally win over, by the way...well, sort of), and plenty of delicious food to go around. Nice pun, by the way.
Victoria: Thank you, and your book sounds absolutely delicious...*licks lips* For everyone else here's some more information on this tasty treat of a book.
Blurb: Ember only wants two
things out of life: to be reunited with her sisters, and to see people come
back to her café. Catering to people she never sees again, she experiences a
loneliness that can’t be filled. As one of the last Whakamanu—a
descendant of the Maori bird-god Tane—she has to hold on to the secrets of her
tribe. Family first.
Gourmet TV personality
Austin Garten, host of the popular show Back Road Eats, needs more in
his life than Breadbasket America grilling. He’s tired of the safe routes, the
easy and dependable foods that the Network loves to display. When his RV breaks
down in Wyoming, and he learns about Kai, a Maori restaurant outside of Casper,
his interest is piqued. Once he meets the proprietor, he realizes he’s wants
more than just her food. He wants her.
Ember isn’t too sure.
The Solstice, the Maori New Year, is fast approaching, and with the heat in her
kitchen ratcheting up, she knows she can’t keep her secret for much longer. But
will Austin be able to accept her? Or will her secret drive them apart?
