About Sophie’s Turn

Slapper.  Slut.  Adulteress.  These are hardly words that Sophie Penhalligan would normally use to describe herself.  Yet this is exactly how she is behaving, all things considered, even if she isn’t quite married to Tim yet.  And it’s all happening because her past is coming to tempt her!  Nine years ago, she met her teenage idol and rock star extraordinaire, Dan, up close and personal.  Well, almost.  Now Dan has crash-landed back in her life.  How could Tim ever stand a chance against the charming, handsome singer?  How could she?

Sophie, now twenty-eight and a budding newspaper journalist, is happily embroiled in a relationship with Tim, her boyfriend of two years.  Until recently, she was confident that Tim would eventually propose—probably as soon as he could get his act together.  But just as Tim’s persistent inaction is beginning to cast a cloud over their relationship, Dan’s sudden reappearance turns Sophie’s world upside down.  Thus unfolds a roller-coaster of events including an ill-fated trip to Paris with Tim, a night of unfulfilled romance with Dan, Sophie and Tim’s engagement party gate-crashed by Dan, and Sophie’s professional secondment to accompany Dan’s band on their revival tour—at Dan’s special request and very much against her will. 

And then, one fine day in Paris, Sophie suddenly finds herself engaged to Dan while her erstwhile fiancĂ© Tim is...  well, doing whatever it is Tim does back in London.   What is she to do now?  Who wouldn’t give anything to meet their favorite star, let alone marry him? 

Find out how Sophie gets into this impossible situation, and how she turns it around, in Sophie’s Turn, the honest, funny and sometimes bittersweet story of one woman’s entanglement with a rock star.

Sophie’s Turn is available in Kindle edition from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and many other Amazon sites. The paperback edition is also available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. In addition, you can obtain Sophie’s Turn from Barnes & Noble.

Contemporary Romance, Erotic, Blushing Books, Spanking, BDSM, Patricia Green

Ace Journey is a Texan that calls himself a confirmed bachelor.  He’s at a function when he sees Gabriella Appleby.  They had an altercation prior to this function.  Gabby is a plus-size model from New Jersey who has a mother that she takes care of.  I can identify with Gabby in that I’m not model thin and I’ve always taken care of my parents.  And I can almost understand her attitude problem.

Ace has come to New Jersey on business and Gabby has agreed to meet him at a Jewish Deli.  I love the name Patricia gave the deli – Rumpernooks.  I would love to know the type of research Patricia may have done for this scene.  Gabby is showing Ace the difference between bagels from Texas and a true Jewish bagel.

Patricia makes Gabby’s mother something of a clinging vine.  You have to feel sorry for Gabby.  My own mother was different from Gabby’s.  My mother had a severe stroke and it was a lot of time and energy to work a full time job and then to be her caregiver.  I had a good support system at my job.  I was able to take the time needed to see to her care.  But reading Patricia’s story, Gabby doesn’t have that support.  Plus I get the impression that the mother likes being the center of attention.

Patricia has made a teaser of a book trailer on YouTube, http://youtube/UH7Hkl9a5cg. Now this book does cover spanking and there is a quick scene in the trailer.  There are explicit scenes but they are done tastefully.  I also love that each book is a stand-alone since I haven’t read the first book yet.  If you haven’t read any of this series yet, you can stop by Patricia’s web site, http://patriciagreenbooks.com/journey-family-series/, to check out what books are out now and which book is coming out this Fall.  I hope you will give this series a try.  I’m looking forward to reading the others.
