Shamrocked by JoAnne Kendrick Spotlight/Guestpost and Excerpt for Sizzling PR



Irish Kisses book two
JoAnne Kenrick

Devlin Kinney is focused on his Irish Rock band, Shamrocked. Between that and tending bar at Bell's Irish Pub, he's rushed off his feet. Still, he's envious of Shaun who found his perfect woman through Madame Eve's exclusive agency, 1Night Stand.
Pushed for time, he follows his friend's lead and hopes to be matched with a woman ballsy enough to share in his fetish for things that go buzzzz.
At the event of the year for soap stars, Elizabeth Grant meets Devlin and mistakes him for her soon-to-be co-star on The East End. Before she has a chance to confess she's not his 1Night Stand as he seems to think, the silver-tongued smooth dancer proves irresistible. He seems perfect...for one night of pleasure. She's ready to play the role of her life!
Will his Irish charm and toys be enough to hold onto his leading lady, or will his heart be shamrocked into next week?

“How come every song picked tonight seems ta be in the soundtrack from Liz Grant’s movie? I’m telling ya, this is not good for me soul. I’m like a whiney sick puppy. Sandra, hows about ya read me some smut from a book?” -- Devlin Kinney, Shamrocked, Irish Kisses book two.

Reckon we listen to some more tunes instead, you think?

It always fascinates me to hear songs my favorite authors listen to while writing their books, and I always click to play when they pop up in my newsfeed on Facebook or Twitter. There’s just something about knowing what set the mood for a scene that really intrigues me. Often, if I haven’t read the book yet, I will listen along to the same songs in the authors playlist to see if i can sense the musical inspiration in their work.

Here’s the soundtrack I played while writing different scenes in Shamrocked.








Kiss Me, I’m Irish: Devlin comes across as a player, but he really isn’t. He may run around kissing all the pretty girls. But that’s as far as it goes. He’s been single since leaving his fiance back in Northern Ireland. She broke his heart...and his will to find--and put up with--love again. This song represented his cocky front put on for the punters of Bell’s Irish Pub.
Linger: The lovely Liz lingers on Devlin...she makes quite the first impression don’t you know?

What Can I Do To Make You Love Me? This is a song for both Devlin and Liz -- we all know, you can’t make someone love you. Nor can you help who you fall in love with. The light beat and often ‘down on love’ lyrics seems a perfect match for this pair. I played this song a lot while writing the first four or so chapters. In fact, I played a lot of The Corrs for the whole book.

Never Met A Girl Like You Before: This is the finale, the big finish. I can’t say too much here, as I don’t want to spoil it for ya. But let’s just say this song gets a play through Bell’s Irish Pub’s juke box.

Excerpt:
Surrounded by bridesmaids—the hottest guy in the place. His thick Irish brogue carried over the chattering wedding crowd and bad party songs.
Swallowing any signs of stage fright, she checked her fake hair in a mirrored wall, plumped her boobs, and plastered on a smile before making a beeline for her drop-dead gorgeous, future co-star.
She waded through the rough sea of pink-chiffoned up women, snapped out her arm, and took his hand like one of those shaking weight things. Thought she’d blown it until his mouth tilted up into a tempting smile. Dimples. Oh, my. He would be popular with the ladies. Might even help get her noticed by movie producers. Dating this hottie would get her on every front page known to the British public.
“Liz.” She fought to keep focused on his face rather than his thick muscles and rhythmic movements. She couldn’t recall ever seeing a man who could make dancing to All Night Long by Lionel Ritchie so goddamned sexy. His jig was infectious—her arm swayed in beat with his, their hands still clasped together.
“As in Elizabeth?”
“Uh-huh.” The swarm of bridesmaids knitted their brows and pursed their lips. One even stamped her foot. Liz couldn’t help but turning on a sweet smile. “Buh-bye, ladies.”
