Blog Tour: FINDING JORDIE by HJ Harley - Excerpt + Giveaway
Today we have an exclusive excerpt from FINDING JORDIE by HJ Harley! We can't wait for you to check it out so we'll stop yacking about how hot it is so you can read it. yeeee.
Synopsis:
Jordie Spagnato was content raising her daughter on her own, and running a successful New York City hot spot. Enter Nathan Harper: tall, handsome, full of charisma and there to lend a hand when a drunken brawl almost lands Jordie in jail.
Late night walks, rooftop visits and breakfast quickly become their routine until Nathan’s future and Jordie’s past threaten to ruin their lives.
“Get them both out of here, Mike!” I pushed my way through
the crowd, making a path to the entrance. I shoved the heavy wooden door open,
and a rush of crisp March air hit me in the face. I held the door open for Mike
and Carlos, and as they tossed the two drunken brawlers out, the clamor from
inside escaped to the street.
“You know how much money I spent in here tonight, you
bitch?” one of the drunken men slurred at me. He oozed pretentious asshole,
wearing his skinny jeans and a tight black shirt. It was hard to take a grown
ass man seriously when his jeans were tighter than mine.”
#Quote from NYTs Best Seller Heidi McLaughlin. (On the front
cover)
Finding Jordie has it all: action, love and suspense with
toe-curling lust. A one-day read, I was hooked from the first page and I
couldn't put this down. I'm beyond hooked on HJ Harley's storytelling and can't
wait to see what else she has in store for readers.
HJ grew up in Bricktown New Jersey, less than an hour away from New York City. As a teenager and early twenties, she loved hanging out in the glamor of NYC. She was a "City Brat" so it was pretty difficult for her to pack her stuff and three cats in 2005, for a life changing road trip, moving to California. She's travelled around the country until she met her better half in 2005.
After serving twelve years in the Air Force, the man of her dreams ended his military career and they moved to Georgia in 2007. Since then, they've settled down in Leesburg GA, and had their first child.
No place has ever come close to replacing the magic of New York City for HJ. So when it was decided to try this romance writing gig out, naturally her first book 'Finding Jordie' would be set there.
HJ enjoys reading, and spending time with her family. Reality TV is a guilty pleasure and she's a sucker for romantic comedies and Robert Pattinson. HJ is a pro at goofing off, She talks with my hands, (She's Italian!) She drinks way too much coffee, and gets too little sleep. Oh, and she has a thing for Jackie-O sized sunglasses. HJ's has five furry kids and most importantly, one beautiful daughter. HJ is always striving to be the best Mom possible.
HJ's very passionate about the things she loves, that's why she was outraged when they cancelled SMASH and Southland! It should be considered a small miracle if you ever get to see a serious or pic of her posing all nice and pretty...She's not that girl. She's a spontaneous goof and believes the best things in life come naturally. Yes, that includes random no make-up selfies during a 2:00a.m. writing marathon.
