Interview with Maisey Yates

unexpected2

Today I have Maisey Yates here to discuss her new release, Unexpected, which is the second release in her Silver Creek series.  I love this series because it is based here in Oregon and I have already told Maisey, I want to live on Cole’s Elk Haven ranch.  I hope everyone checks out this delightful series.

1. Tell me about your new release

Unexpected is a story about two people who have never met before…having a baby together. When Cole finds out that a clinic mix-up has resulted in a total stranger conceiving his child, he knows he can’t walk away. But figuring out how to deal with the stubborn – and sexy, mother of his baby is another issue entirely.

2. Where did you come with the idea for this series?
I love the idea of the IVF mix-up, because it takes the classic idea of the accidental pregnancy to a whole new place. These are two people who have NEVER met, having a baby together. But it was actually a picture of a cowboy that inspired this series. From there, I thought of Cole Mitchell, and his brother and sister. After that it was a matter of figuring out just who the perfect woman for him was…
 
3. Were there any kind of challenges to writing a small-town romance and what type of research did you have to do?
I am small town, so for me there was a level of comfort and familiarity to the small-town world that is absent from the category romance I write, which tend to be glamorous and urban. I love writing small town because it’s what I know.
4. What are you working on now?

I’m working on book 3 in the Silver Creek series, which is titled Unbroken and is scheduled for an August 2014 release. This is Cade’s story. You’ll meet Cade in Unexpected. 

5. Which actors do you envision playing your characters?

That’s a tough one! Maybe…Henry Cavill and Cameron Diaz? 

6. Any advice for aspiring writers?
Yes! Keep trying…and keep writing. Always write. If you submit something? Write something new. Writing is the best way to learn HOW to write, at least in my experience. 😉 
7. What food or drink do you absolutely have to have while writing?

Coffee and marshmallows. 😀 Everyone on my twitter knows that!

Jennifer’s Review of Unexpected

unexpected2TITLE: Unexpected

SERIES #: Silver Creek #2

CHARACTERS: Kelsey Noble and Cole Mitchell

AUTHOR:  Maisey Yates

PUBLICATION DATE:  08/20/13

ORDER LINKS:  Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS: After spending another family wedding fielding questions about her non-existent love life, Kelsey Noble decides she’s tired of waiting around for things she could go out and get herself.  What Kelsey wants is a baby, and she doesn’t see any point waiting for a husband she’s not even sure she wants.  But a mix-up at the fertility clinic lands her with a hassle she didn’t count on.  A big, muscular hassle in a Stetson and cowboy boots.

Cole Mitchell is shocked to discover that a grand gesture for years past has come back to haunt him.  Now, thanks to a clerical error, a woman he’s never met is having his baby–and there’s no way he’s going to walk away and forget he has a child.

Trying to make nice with the unexpected father of her baby lands Kelsey in Silver Creek, Oregon, dealing with the kind of small town life she left behind years ago.  Even worse is dealing with the burning attraction she feels for Cole.  She knows adding sex to the mix is a very bad idea, but she’s not sure how long she can resist falling for the last man she ever expected.

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Jennifer             NUMBER OF STARS: Four Stars

REVIEW: I liked Kelsey right away because she had a lot of spunk and determination by making a decision to have a child on her own. She had the means to support a child and felt that she didn’t need a man to make her life complete.  I understood her surprise to find that her anonymous donor wasn’t so anonymous when Cole Mitchell showed up on her doorstep. I liked that even though it was a mistake at the clinic, Cole and Kelsey were determined to get to know each other for the sake of the child.  They both were hoping that this could turn into something more so they could both be involved in the child’s life.

Cole Mitchell was a handsome cowboy who had his hands full with the responsibility of handling his family’s ranch. Meeting Kelsey wasn’t what he had planned especially when he was still reeling from the mess that was his previous marriage.  He was sweet and bound to make sure that Kelsey was taken care of during her pregnancy.  I liked how when Kelsey practically threw herself at him that he wanted to take things slow and not rush things because he wanted to have a relationship with her.  You don’t see that very often in books where the guy is slowing things down instead of the girl. Cole was exactly what Kelsey was looking for and it took a clerical error to bring two special people into her life instead of just one.

I adored Unexpected because it was a sweet romance in a small town setting.  I really enjoyed Maisey’s first one, Unbuttoned and this new one is definitely a winner.  I can’t wait to read more about Cole’s sister, Lark, in the next book, Untouched, because she is due for a happy ending as well.
