Special Guest Jennifer Probst & GIVEAWAY!!
I am super excited to have my friend and enormously talented author JENNIFER PROBST here with me today! Be sure to leave a comment and be entered to win a copy of Catch Me! Winner will be announced Monday, March 5, 2012
LisaFox: So, tell us about you. Who is Jennifer Probst?
JenniferProbst: Thank you my awesome hostess with the mostess! Oh, let’s see, I’m a bit of a mystery (wink). A little bit of this…a little bit of that. Ah, hell, I’ll be honest. I’m a mom of two young boys who still races after the bus since I’m late, owns pink fuzzy slippers and a matching robe, and wears it most of the day she’s writing. I knew I’d be a writer since I was six, and used to write teen romances in longhand and pass them around the school. When I got laid off from my day job, something scary turned into something wonderful. More time to write and more time to discover me. How great is that?
So, I guess the best possible answer is the truth. I’m happy in my own skin, live day to day, and change as the wonderful journey of life unwinds!
LF: You are a romance author, but do you consider yourself a romantic?
JP: Yes. I believe in forever, soul-mate, deep true love, but can temper it by knowing the day to day stuff is work. I believe in smoldering looks across a crowded room, but get really turned on lately when my husband cooks and cleans up the kitchen. I find romance in everything. When my son grabs a yellow flower from the lawn and presents it to me, it’s just as magical as getting a dozen roses. Romance is everywhere – you just have to look for it!
LF: Catch Me is one of three stories about the Steele Brothers. Can you tell us a little about the trilogy?
JP: I’m so excited about this series, which may extend into five books. The Steele Brothers all work as casino dealers in Vegas, and all of them are set up with Madame Eve’s One Night Stand (1NS) service – which is a wonderful line of books by Decadent. I explored the BDSM theme a bit, and in each story the progression deepens, along with the experiences of doms/subs. They’re blistering hot, short, fast paced, and pumped with emotion. Here’s the tagline:
Meet the Steele Brothers. They work hard. Play harder. And they’re about to face the biggest obstacle of all…love.
LF: Rick Steele, the hero of Catch Me, not only has a fabulous name, but he sounds mighty hot. Who plays him in the movie?
JP: Josh Holloway baby. Oh, yeah…
(oh yeah, indeed)
LF: As we all know, the end of the world is coming this year. What five must-haves do you have in your zombie-proof bunker?
JP: Huh? Well, thank God you told me the world is ending, because I did not pack anything in my zombie-proof bunker. I better think quick here:
Water, batteries, chocolate, wine and my phone which has my e-reader on it. My husband would be so mad at my answer right now…
LF: What is your favorite way to relax after a hard day of working and writing?
JP: I’m so easy, it’s ridiculous. A nice glass of wine, a good book, my family around me, and life is pretty much perfect!
LF: Any new projects in the works?
JP: Yes, Play Me and Dare Me are coming out, which tell the stories of Rome Steele and Rafe Steele. I’m working on the fourth story right now so hopefully that will richen the entire series!
LF: How can people find you online?
JP: In this case, stalking is highly encouraged! I love hearing from my readers and always answer/follow back!

Rick Steele has avoided women since he caught his fiancée cheating, but when he’s talked into spending a one night stand through Madame Eve, he’s not prepared for his emotional and physical reaction to his date. For the first time, he wants more than one night..but he needs to catch her first…
Tara Denton escaped a brutal past and needs one night with a stranger to break down her sexual and emotional limitations. On the brink of recovering her strength and independence, she wants nothing to do with a relationship. But Rick Steele does more than rock her body…he rocks her heart. Tara has to make a choice, and she’s not ready to get caught…
