Finding Julia by: Desiree Holt Blog Tour and Interview


Finding Julia 



Can a moment of passion outlast years of secrets and misery?  For Julia Patterson, meeting Luke Buchanan awakens within her a passion she’s never dared dream possible. He claims her body and and helps her remember what it means to be a woman. But Fate has a twisted sense of humor. Just when Julia is ready to step over the threshold into a wonderful new life, her almost-ex-husband is diagnosed with a heart condition that puts her divorce on hold. Turning her back on Luke is the most difficult thing she’s ever done. But Julia has a secret, one that Charles discovers and uses against her. Years later, when Luke walks back into Julia’s life, the passion between them is just as explosive. But Charles is still controlling her from the grave, and the secret Julia has hidden for fourteen years could destroy their dreams forever.
My Review!!
Finding Julia
Overall Rating **** ½ Stars

            This is the first book I’ve read from this author, and WOW this book blew me away! It was very well written and the storyline flowed very well. It was interesting and very intriguing. Julia and Luke were so great together, they had the chemistry that made the book more interesting. I was not able to but this book down. It is very fast-pace. You have Julia who is in a middle of a divorce, and then you have Luke who is swoon-worthy and downright sexy. You have some twist and turns and it will leave you on the edge of your seat. A must read. Great job Desiree I am a fan for life!!

~MY INTERVIEW~

1.    When did you decide to write?
I think I have wanted to write all my life. My brain was always busy. But I didn’t get the chance until I was retired, and we had moved to Texas. I complete my first manuscript in 2004.

2.   How did you come up with the idea of your newest book?
Finding Julia is actually based on a real-life love story. I took a few liberties with the time frame and a few other things but essentially is the story of the anguish two people suffered and the strength of their love through adversity.

I write erotic romance but, as I tell people, in all different flavors, everything from BDSM to contemporary, but always with romance and strong characters.

Cerise Deland and I have an ongoing series of erotic political thrillers called nemesis, and Joey Hill and I just completed our first (but I hoopoe not our last) joint venture, Nightfall.
