Release Blitz + Excerpt + Review: "Two for Dinner" by Rachel A. Smith

I'm pleased to take part in today's release blitz celebrating the publication of "Two for Dinner" by Rachel A. Smith, book #2 of the Steam and Giggles series. (Book #1 was part of the "Eat Your Heart Out" charity anthology earlier this year.) It reads as a complete standalone, perfect for readers like me who are new to this author's work.
 
"Two for Dinner" was a short but sweet read featuring likeable characters and an engaging plot. After leaving her cheating fiance at the altar, graphic novelist Irene Gilliard escaped to a private island in the Caribbean to recover from the humiliating breakup in private. However, a scheduling mix-up meant that the island's owner, entertainment company CEO Damien Crestwater, was already in residence. Inexplicably drawn to Irene, Damien agreed to let her stay, and their relationship soon grew from friendship into something more as they shared the delicious meals prepared for them by Damien's private chef.
 
I recommend "Two for Dinner" for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans and look forward to picking up the next book in the series.

About "Two for Dinner"

Reservation mix-ups happen…

…sparks fly when Mr. Merman strolls out of the surf.

Did I really swear never to date again?

My plan was simple.
Run away to a private island.
Bask in the sunshine
Forget about my cheating ex.

What I didn’t count on…

…was the island's billionaire owner and his sexy verbal sparring skills.

Find out what happens when Irene's past catches up to her.

Who the hell is Irene Gilliard?

Few people can afford to simply hop on a flight to the Caribbean and rent a private island listed for seven or eight thousand a night on a whim.

“Do you know anything about the Gilliards?”

Michael frowns and then glances up in the rearview mirror. “The only Gilliard who comes to mind is Phillip Gilliard, a famous architect. His wife is some famous fashion designer, and I heard his daughter is a pretty successful graphic novel artist or author or something like that.”

Irene used a sketchbook to cover her lovely chest earlier.

“Like comic books?”

Michael shrugs as the car stops at a path leading to the bungalow. Humidity smacks me in the chest as I exit the vehicle, but it isn’t only the climate that has me sweating. The image of Irene in her string bikini was hot and one I wasn’t about to forget anytime soon.
