Ready for a Fun, Funky, Romance-Filled Road Trip This Summer?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Author, Amy Anguish, joins me on today's episode to talk about her Roadtrip Romance series, beginning with Destination Romance. I can't wait to read it! via @chautonahavig

In today’s episode, Christian Romance author, Amy Anguish and I talk about her latest release, the first book in her Road Trip Romance series… Destination Romance.

Learn about the three friends who make up this series, the fun stories for each, and what kind of road trip they all go on. You’ll love the fun Anguish has for us (doesn’t that sound fun?  I love her name!)

Listen in for more!

Ready for a Fun, Funky, Romance-Filled Road Trip This Summer?

I had a delightful chat with Amy about her fun new series, and I was determined to read them all the moment they released. I mean, come on. A “girls only” road trip for a bachelorette party ends up picking up tagalongs and everything goes wonky. We even got a small bit of information about the upcoming books as well.

And the book releases TODAY!

The only thing that concerns me is that it includes my least favorite sport as explained HERE.

But then Amy Anguish lived up to her name…

She mentioned another book… an epistolary novel. I had to read Writing Home.  I just had to.

If you wanted a recipe for a perfect romance, it would include a slow-burn, a friends-to-more element, and deep, rich faith woven into every moment without becoming preachy. And Amy R. Anguish did it. Beautifully.

One of the best parts was that even what should have felt “obvious” didn’t. We know who would do what and how or why in certain places… but we still hold our breaths until it happens, not completely certain. Lovely.

This new-to-me author just landed herself on my insta-buy list with great characters, fun dialogue, and just a host of fun scenarios tied together with the best get-to-know-you letters.

I went into this book knowing I’d like it. I just had no idea that I’d love it as much as I do.

Onto the next!

And yes… I’m going to binge all the books.

Destination Romance Amy AngusihDestination Romance by Amy Anguish

It’s not every day you bring a boyfriend back as a souvenir.

Katie Wilhite is ready to settle into her new job as a librarian now that college is through, but friends Bree and Skye want one more girls’ trip, and when Bree insists this is her bachelorette fling, Katie agrees. What she didn’t agree to was allowing fun and flighty Skye to dictate the itinerary or for her anxiety to kick in harder than ever … right in front of a cute guy.

Camden Malone had no idea when he agreed to be the voice of reason on his cousin Ryan’s vacation that the trip wouldn’t stay in New Orleans as planned. But when Ryan plots with Skye so that the guys can tag along with the girls all week, he isn’t nearly as upset as he should be. Not with Katie’s fiery temper and flashing eyes intriguing him more by the minute.

Can Katie relax enough to trust Camden and a possible future, or will she continue to push him away as only a vacation fling? And can Camden move past a rocky history of his own to be able to jump into a better future? For a trip that was supposed to be all about fun, there’s a lot of romance going around.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 541: A Chat with Demi Griffin
byChautona Havig

What happens when an author writes an intense epic fantasy and collapses exhausted at the end? She writes a romantasy trilogy, of course! Listen in as Demi Griffin and I chat about her newest series and why you should read it (I can’t wait!)

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

Okay, stop right now and head over and check out the hardback cover! Isn’t it FABULOUS?? EEEP!

This series has everything I think people are looking for, fantasy and romance combined without all the “spicy smut.” Add faith and… WHEEEEEEEEE!

Cerulean Rose by Demi Griffin

EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORNS. Hidden in a tiny cottage away from the ordinary existence of Cerulean’s citizens, Aural lived a simple life with her father in Sabean Woods. When he is struck by a serious illness, that ordinary life suddenly became extraordinary.

In search of a physician, Aural breaks her promise never to leave the woods. When her path crosses with a Mystic, the manipulative Duchess, and the Prince of Cerulean, Aural realizes something beyond her simple quest to help her dying father has mapped out her journey.

An ancient legend about a brotherly rivalry that resulted in tragedy stirs up the Fates guarding Cerulean. If the Cerulean Rose doesn’t bloom again, the kingdom is destined to perish.

A wild path filled with romance, mystery, and intrigue shapes Aural’s heart in ways she could not have imagined as she gets sucked into the legend. Would it be enough to restore the foundation of true love that established the kingdom of Cerulean hundreds of years ago? Could a simple girl satisfy the Fates, capture a prince’s heart, overcome a king’s prejudice, and save Cerulean’s Rose?

Learn more about Demi on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

My favorite line of the night. Bless him, poor Low My favorite line of the night. Bless him, poor Lowell doesn't know if he's getting introduced to Southern hospitality or abducted to be sold to aliens.
This Bookstrings Book Club novella is proving... interesting.  Having fun with it.
In other news, I told Photoshop's AI to make me a library with a signpost holding two signs. After several renditions, I got it down to THREE signs and covered one up.  Oh, brother.
