Bookcation Event: Kissing the Maid of Honor by Robin Bielman (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Welcome back travel buddies! Now Robin Bielman is taking us on a trip to not one, but four different destinations while joining us with her book, Kissing the Maid of Honor. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be here as part of RBtWBC’s Bookcation Summer Event! Thanks very much for having me, Crystal. I have to come clean, though. I, uh, don’t drink wine. Not because I wouldn’t like to, but because I don’t like the taste! I’ve tried and tried and nothing has perked up my taste buds. Now a Malibu and pineapple, that’s another story. ;) 

Beam Me Over To My Favorite Fictional Summer Vacation Town, Scotty

Summer is my favorite season. I love that my kids are out of school, love the warmer weather, and love having carefree days to read. If possible, my nose would always be in a book, but there’s something extra special about summer reading. Lazy days spent losing myself in a good story. So this got me thinking about fictional towns where I’d like to take a summer vacation…

1) Cascade, Oregon ~ I have to start with the small seaside town where my new release, KISSING THE MAID OF HONOR takes place. I’d love to visit Crem’s Bakery for a cupcake or blueberry muffin or peanut butter white-chocolate chip cookie or—I better stop there. Let’s just say on every day of my vacation, I’d be stopping in. I’d love to rent a bike for a trek through the mountains,love to plant myself in the sugary soft sand of Seascape Beach with a good book, and I’d love to visit the Crown& Anchor pub for fish and chips and a drink (see mention above). 

2) Lucky Harbor, Washington ~ this is the awesome beach town where Jill Shalvis has set her Lucky Harbor novels. I’d get a room at Maddie, Tara, and Chloe’s inn (and we’d become great friends), I’d eat at the local diner, hike and accidentally bump into Matt, I’d spend time at the lake, and every night I’d take a walk along the pier, the summer stars twinkling brighter than anywhere else.

3) Sunset Ranch, Nevada ~ in real life, my summer vacations usually involve a beach, but I secretly long to try a stay at a dude ranch. Live the whole cowgirl lifestyle. And so I think the perfect fictional spot would be Sunset Ranch from Charlene Sands’ The Slades of Sunset Ranch series. The exapanse of land is gorgeous there, and I’m picturing cookouts and horseback rides and a good old fashioned barnyard dance. 

4) Big Knob, Indiana ~ this is the tiny fictional town in Vicki Lewis Thompson’s Hex Series. Population: 947. But, oh this little town is never boring! There’s a witch and a wizard who love to play matchmaker, an ADD dragon, and a lonely lake monster. I think I might be able to meet everyone with a week’s vacation. I’d eat fresh cinnamon rolls at the Hob Knob, take walks through the woods and visit the Whispering Forest to see if it’s really haunted.

The wonderful thing about fiction is that we really can take a summer vacation to most anywhere! Are you going somewhere special this summer? Is there a book you can’t wait to read this summer?

A bit about Kissing the Maid of Honor:

Kissing her best friend's brother never felt so right...
Sela Sullivan is resolved to be the best maid of honor ever, even if it means tolerating the best man. Insufferable, too-handsome Luke Watters is not only the guy who humiliated her at a kissing booth in high school, but he also happens to be her best friend’s older brother. Positive he’s the same arrogant jock, Sela vows to focus on her duties and steer clear of the frustrating—and frustratingly tempting—Luke.As a world-renowned extreme-sports photographer, Luke is used to undertaking life-risking adventures. But risking his heart for the beautiful Sela Sullivan, who clearly still hates him for his rejection all those years ago? He didn’t see that coming. Sela inspires a passion he’s never known, and the more time they spend together, the more he craves her. But can he prove to the maid of honor he’s become a man of honor?
