Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock
Publication date: August 28th, 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Billionaire CEO Michael Vilander needed just one date. Creating a fake profile on his own matchmaking website may not have been his brightest move. But then Sophia Baldwin’s arresting face pops up on his CHAT NOW feature. Not only is she gorgeous, but after spending half the night exchanging messages with her, he finds her to be naive, innocent and way too sexy.
Twenty-four-year-old Sophia Baldwin is barely able to make ends meet. Caring for her sick grandmother prevents her from having a normal life — aspirations of attending college full-time to become a nurse are on the back burner — but then she meets the charming and dazzling Clint on an online dating site. When he asks her to the Denver Arts Foundation’s Annual Valentine’s Day Gala, she’s confident things are looking up.
Once Sophia learns that her hot date is none other than website mogul Michael Vilander, she’s definitely not mentioning her night job. What’s a lie by omission anyway? After all, it’s only one date… Until Michael’s ex flaunts her fancy engagement ring in Michael’s face and something compels Sophia to announce her and Michael’s engagement. AKA, fake engagement. They agree on one month to pretend they’re in love before all bets are off.
Pretending to be in love with a sweet and sexy billionaire, but not actually falling in love, ahem, how hard could it be?
~AUTHOR INTERVIEW with Ashley Bostock~
1)
What
gave you the inspiration for the storyline?
My
inspiration came from attending business events with my husband. One event that
stands out was in Washington D.C. and typically, the men and women attending
these events are CEO’s. Seeing all the men in their suits was so inspiring!
What woman wouldn’t love to bring one of these well put together men to their
knees? So my inspiration began with men in suits, business men, CEO’s and
eventually combining my desire to write about billionaires all into this
series. It’s evolved a lot since I first got the idea from the event in D.C.,
but the underlying theme is still there.
Also, when I first started writing this series, I wanted the
men to fall for someone that was not the norm. A woman that wasn’t all perfect
with the best of everything. I wanted them to be unexpected. So there is a
little bit of that in Nothing But Trouble.
2)
Are
there any hidden themes in the book that you hope readers will discover?
No.
I can’t think of anything beyond the obvious.
3)
Are
any of the characters based on real people you know?
The
grandmothers are based off of a few grandmothers I know.
4)
Who
has influenced you most as a writer?
Probably
other writers. I especially like Avon authors so I’d have to say those
women—Jill Shalvis, Sophie Jordan, Lori Wilde—just to name a few, influence me
the most.
5)
If
you could have any three literary characters over to your place for game night,
who would you invite, what would you play, what would you serve, and why?
We’d play poker because when you play card games, it gives
the players an opportunity to visit and get to know each other. I’d want to get
to know all these people.
I’d serve Mexican food-smothered burritos probably cause I
can make good green chili.
Scarlett O’Hara – I just feel she’s kick ass long before her
time and would be a fun person to be around and be friends with. She probably
says the damnedest things.
Christian Grey—Well, because he’s gorgeous and intriguing
and I’d want to see him in a fun atmosphere.
Ponyboy Curtis – I’ve always loved The Outsiders – book,
movie, plays. I feel like we’d be good friends.
6)
Do
you feel that you can ever have too many books?
Umm,
no. Never.
