Book Tour Grand Finale for A Family Like Hannah's By Carol Ross! Includes Giveaway!

On Tour with Prism Book Tours.

Book Tour Grand Finale for
A Family Like Hannah's
By Carol Ross

We hope you enjoyed coming along with us to an Alaskan ski resort and two strong characters who begin at odds, but may just find family and love in each other. If you missed any of the stops, go back and check them out now...


Launch - Intro to the Book

A Family Like Hannah’s is my version of an Alaskan winter - and more specifically - a wintertime in Rankins. On each stop of the tour, I’ve tried to infuse some of this enduring and inspiring winter spirit Alaskans seem to so easily embrace. Hope you enjoy!


"Sweet, clean romance that will still have you reaching for your fan on occasion, A Family Like Hannah’s by Carol Ross takes you through a whole gamut of emotions. From anger and heartbreak to laughter and joy, you will ride the slopes along with a cast of compelling and truly likable characters."

I Am A Reader - Let’s (Really) Get to Know Hannah & Tate from A Family Like Hannah’s


Hannah James – professional skier, owner and manager of Snowy Sky Ski Resort...


Tate Addison – professional snowboarder, businessman, inventor, ski area consultant...


"This was such a delightfully touching tale of possible romance and enduring love amongst life's challenges."


"This book was easy to read and hard to put down. I was drawn in and invested in this story. So good!"



" I love that this isn't just an easy, fluffy story, but had some real filling to go along with it, while maintaining a lighter feel--it wasn't heavy. What a perfect recipe for a great story!"

Colorimetry - Hey, Honey, Let’s Load up the RV and Take the Kids Skiing!


Sure, we saw some of those charming resorts and lodges. From the parking lot. Out the window of our old motorhome. I still can’t believe my dad braved winter weather and treacherous mountain roads in that beast. (Visualize one-step up from Cousin Eddie’s “RV” from Christmas Vacation.) It would only putt along at about 15 miles per hour up the hills, so he would frequently have to pull over and let cars pass. Yep, we were those people. As kids, most of these realities and hazards escaped us. We were just thrilled to be there. For me, there was (is) no place I’d rather spend a winter day than skiing up in the mountains.

underneath the covers - Is the Road to Love Paved with Embarrassing Moments?
Alaskans are pretty inventive with their wintertime endeavors. Luckily, the town of Rankins had already laid a solid foundation for some of the best “meets” between Hannah and Tate. Add a little humor, a lot of tension, some creative license, and I’m excited to bring you a few of my favorite moments from A Family Like Hannah’s...


"This story takes you deep into a small town filled with kind people and history. . . . Tate and Hannah’s ideas for the resort don’t line up very well, so there is tension between them, but there’s also attraction … a lot of it!"

Becky on Books - Review

"A Family Like Hannah’s is a sweet, feel-good romance. . . . This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last. It worked well as a standalone. . ."


deal sharing aunt - Interview

Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?

My ideas always come from my characters. I start by creating a person in my mind. I give them a personality first, including family situation, a job, hobbies, interests, likes and dislikes, and even little quirks. Then I try to drop them right into some kind of action. I add a line or two of dialogue, and I’m off and running. I do love to research my settings also, and often interesting scene ideas will arise from that.

Heidi Reads... - Review

"The characters in this book are vibrant and easy to visualize. . . . I loved the setting of winter in Alaska, especially at a ski resort since I've only been snowboarding twice."

Zerina Blossom's Books - Love, Snow, and Hot Cocoa


When I started writing this story, Hannah’s character was already sitting right beside me - telling me what she wanted to do, what she wanted to say – and what she likes. And Hannah likes hot chocolate...

Wishful Endings - Baby, it's (Really, Really) Cold Outside


Spending the last couple years doing research and just learning fun things in general about this state, I thought it would be fun to show how an Alaskan winter really stacks up.

Still Counting by Phil Fragasso Spotlight with Giveaway!!



Adam Donatello and Nina Morales share an immediate and powerful attraction, and their future together seems assured. But love is difficult enough without adding complications – real or imagined – to the mix. Nina sees life as a thousand shades of gray, while Adam tends towards black-and-white. He wants to move fast; she needs time. Nina sees her past liaisons with women as immaterial to their relationship, while her disclosure drives Adam to a state of irrational jealousy. He doesn't know how he could compete with a woman; and his suspicions – which Nina views as hypocritical – lead them both to make decisions they may live to regret.



AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Phil Fragasso sold his first article at the age of 16. Since then he has written and published a wide variety of books, articles and essays. After many years as a corporate marketer, he left to pursue endeavors that were more fulfilling personally and more contributory on a societal level. Today he focuses his time on writing and teaching.
Excerpt
On the way home I stopped to get a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and a dozen miniature roses in assorted pastel colors. I put the champagne in the refrigerator to chill and lined up the roses to lead from the front door directly to the toilet. Nina always had to pee as soon as she got home, so I figured we could kill two birds with one stone.

I thought it was a cute idea; Nina agreed.

I thought it was an idea worth executing. Nina not so much.

I have to go and I want to go in peace,” she said.

But what if you don’t have to pee later?”

I’m a girl. I always have to pee.”

She walked past me, handed me a CVS bag, and closed the bathroom door. I opened the bag and found the home pregnancy test kit. I plopped onto the couch and read the directions with the kind of focus and intent I used to reserve for final exams. Then I read them again.

Nina opened the door. “I had a hunch that’s what you’d be doing.” She sat next to me and grabbed the box out of my hands.

It says we’re supposed to wait until morning when your urine is most concentrated,” I said.

Okay, first off. I don’t want to hear any more discussion about my pee and my urine.”

They’re actually the same thing.”

Thanks for that brilliant insight. But let’s not turn into crazy people about this. I think it’s a good idea we wait until the morning.”

How could that possibly be good? It’s all I’ve been thinking about and talking about all day.”

What do you mean you’ve been talking about it?”

I knew I stepped in a steaming pile of shit, but there was no going back. “I was excited so I mentioned it to Mark.”

Adam, Adam, sweet Jesus Adam, you don’t do that,” said Nina. “Even if I am pregnant, we don’t tell anyone until after I see a doctor, and we make sure everything is okay. You don’t just go out blabbing about the fact that your girlfriend might be pregnant.”

Goodbye, with Love By Niquel Spotlight!



Title: Goodbye, with Love.
By: Niquel
Publication Date: January 15, 2016
Genre: YA/Coming of Age Romance
Have you ever wished you could have something so bad, even though you knew it was forbidden? Jonathan Gates was just that—forbidden. He was everything I could ever want in a man: charming, a great listener, open-minded, and funny. It also didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes. We'd been through a lot together: breakups, makeups, firsts, lasts, and anything else you can imagine. I was once told he was my soul mate, but I refused to believe that. I didn't want to love him. I didn't want to fall for him because...he was my best friend! But I did, and I fell for him hard. I was in love with my best friend, and it was time he knew how I really felt.

MICHELLE’S JOURNAL

Age: Twenty Journal Entry: Why does this keep happening to me? Dear Journal, Why does this keep happening to me? Why is it that every single time he leaves I’m completely devastated and unable to fully recover, but the minute he comes back to me it’s like nothing ever happened? It’s like my heart is playing a cruel joke on me and picks back up where things left off. He is the only person that could affect me deep down in my core and it scares me. It makes me feel like he is the only person I truly belong to, and maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if he’d stop breaking my heart. If he could see through my eyes, just once, maybe he wouldn’t hurt me again. Maybe he wouldn’t toy with me, and maybe he’d believe that we were soul mates. When Sarah told me that all those years ago, I laughed; I didn’t believe in it then, but I’m convinced now. There has to be some fate or strong pull from the universe that’s destined us to be together, and if this was the sign to wake us both up to smell the roses, then I needed more time before I’d accept it. Time. I’ll give you time, Johnny, but you’ll have to work for it. -Michelle

Jezzy Watson, a fiery, sports agent from Philadelphia, rose to the top of her game in just four years. She has an inkling for getting some of the best deals in the business and this earns her an Agent of the Year honor at New York Fashion Week’s charity event.
It’s been ten years since she’s seen her high school sweetheart, Trent Rucker, who now plays for the New York Giants. As soon as she lays eyes on him at the event, the memories and pain come flooding back. When Trent broke up with her on prom night, he not only broke her heart, but his promise to go to college in New York with like her so they could conquer the sports world together.
Upon reconnecting, Jezzy makes it clear she’s very much in love with her fiancé, Marcus. When Trent pays her a visit at her office bearing flowers as a peace offering, she immediately shuts him down, revealing a secret that leaves Trent speechless.
With the truth out, Trent is more determined than ever to make things right with Jezzy, at least to maintain a friendship. But his actions to do so show not only him, but his fiancée Kelli that a friendship is not the only thing he wants from Jezzy. Over the next eight months, Trent goes to the ends of the earth to get Jezzy back.
Will Jezzy tell Trent the truth about having never stopped loving him and forgive him for hurting her or will she move forward in her courtship with Marcus, knowing her heart isn’t really in it?
Love and pain resurface in this Christian romance novel where Trent will soon learn that he may have completely fouled out.
