Kimberly Rose Johnson is a new-to-me author, though she’s published a ton of books! I’m very excited that she’s joined with us in the Spring Fever Giveaway! And I look forward to reading her latest release, The Reluctant Groom, book #1 in her Brides of Seattle series. Isn’t that cover just gorgeous?!!!

Here’s what Kimberly says about The Reluctant Groom ~

The Reluctant GroomThe Reluctant Groom is a modern day marriage of convenience story that takes place in Seattle, Washington. Because I went to college in the Seattle area I felt like I had a pretty good feel for the area. I discovered I was wrong last spring when my husband and I went to visit our son who attends college in the same area.

It didnโ€™t take long for me to realize the Seattle I remembered had changed in the past twenty-five years. For starters, it was louder and dirtier than I remembered. I noticed the smells, sounds, and energy of the city on this trip, and guess what? I needed to do some re-writing. Iโ€™m glad I held off on publishing this book since I needed to change a few things to make it believable.

The biggest change I had to make regarded an alley thatโ€™s in the story. I had it written like alleyways in my hometown. Big mistake! The other thing I did was add the scent of garbage and the sound of seagulls.

All that being said, the story remained the same. Then the unthinkable happened. I discovered another book that was very similar to mine, so I was afraid to publish mine. To be honest, I was devastated. I tucked the story away and pretty much forgot about it. Then one day I remembered and brought it up in my Facebook readers group. They encouraged me to publish it anyway.

I truly love this story and I hope you will as well. Here is the back cover blurb:

When everything goes wrong, can two friends discover true love?ย 

When Ray Oโ€™Brienโ€™s world is turned upside down, Katie Fairchild wants to help, but the personal cost is high. Neither desires a marriage of convenience, but when Katie blurts the first thing that comes to her mind Ray canโ€™t dismiss her offer of marriage. It would solve all his problems except for one thingโ€”they arenโ€™t in love.

Can these two friends team up for the greater good and perhaps find love along the way, or are their expectations impossible?ย 

This book is currently listed for $1.99 but the price will rise to the regular price $3.49 sometime in the next thirty days.
