Robin Perini's "Behind the Lies" Blog Tour (Interview/Excerpt/Giveaway)
Welcome to Book Lovin’ Mamas! We are so excited to
have you here today!
I’m THRILLED to be here. Thanks so much for having
me!
1. Can
you tell us three things about yourself that we might not already know?
Great question. Well, I was a competitive swimmer in
high school and was in the top ten in the state. My favorite movie of all time
is My Fair Lady. And, for those romantic suspense fans out there, I have
attended an autopsy.
2. What
is your favorite type of character to write? Least favorite?
Oooh….I must admit I LOVE villains. I love
motivating someone with a twisted view of the world. Now, you gotta wonder what
that says about me…but I just can’t get enough of the bad guys!
The toughest character to write is one is who
contented with who they are…so, for the most part, I simply torture my people.
That way, I don’t have to write my least favorite character!
3. When
you are deep into writing what is your biggest pet peeve?
When I write my characters into a corner in a
direction they wouldn’t go. I really hate deleting pages or entire scenes…why
don’t I listen to them? Why, oh why, oh why? If I just listened to the people I
made up, things would be much, much easier. LOL.
4. Does
music ever play a part in your writing process?
I can’t listen to music with words when I’m writing.
I’m a big fan of soundtracks because they inherently contain emotion. My
current favorite is the soundtrack from Knight and Day. Lots of driving music
and when you write Romantic Suspense, you need tension.
I guess, at its heart, the soundtracks I use connect
to the emotion of the scene I’m writing. Intense, passionate, light-hearted. I
like the music to match the tone of the scene.
5. Now
for the most important question…What can we expect for the future of this
series?
I’m SO excited about my two series.
Behind the Lies is the second Montgomery Justice
Novel . In Her Sights (Luke’s story) was the first book. There will be two more
(so far). Bound By Secrets (Gabe’s story) and Edge of Deceit (Seth’s story).
Over the course of the novels, we will discover a big secret about the
Montgomery family patriarch, Patrick Montgomery. And you’ll meet all six of the
Montgomery brothers.
Then, there are my Carder Texas books. I’ve dubbed
them Carder Texas Connections. When danger strikes, the heroes of Carder, Texas
strike back. All of my Harlequin Intrigue novels will eventually tie back to
Carder. Even the first one, Finding Her Son (March 2012) is loosely connected
through its characters—which you discover in October, 2012’s Christmas Conspiracy.
Cowboy in the Crossfire, a 2013 RITA finalist, introduces Carder. Undercover
Texas (an RT Top Pick, June 2013, and The Cradle Conspiracy (December 2013)
continue the legacy. It’s been a blast to write.
Thank you so much for being here today and we hope
you will come back again very soon!
Thanks so much for having me. I really do love to
hear from readers. You can read excerpts, read reviews, sign up for my
quarterly newsletter or mailing list, check out my book trailers and even request
trading cards or a Authorgraph on my website at www.robinperini.com.
I'm also on Twitter, Facebook,
Goodreads and Pinterest.
And, if you enjoy my stories, you may want to consider being part of the Rockin’
Robins, my street team. There are lots of special
giveaways and more.
So, now MY question. I’d love to know what your dear
readers’ favorite type of character is to read.
COMING SOON
UNDERCOVER TEXAS
His most important mission brought him to Texas—and reunited
him with the son he never met…
RT Top Pick. 4.5 Stars. “Perini’s action-packed, terrifying tale
grips the reader from the first sentence and doesn’t let go until the final
climactic page.”
IN HER SIGHTS
Montgomery Justice, Book 1
SWAT Team Sniper Jasmine "Jazz" Parker can thread
the eye of a needle with a bullet. As the only female sniper in the state of
Colorado, Jazz is unique for more than her extraordinary marksmanship skills
and cool head. Jazz Parker and her weapon defend the helpless by exacting swift
and uncompromising justice. Not bad for the daughter of the town whore.
After growing up on the seedy side of town, Jazz believed when she'd changed
her name and her life at fifteen, she'd buried her past. Two years ago, she
even drove away the one man she believed she could love—ex-Army Ranger turned
reporter Luke Montgomery—to protect her secret.
Then, in a fleeting second, the time it takes for one clean shot, one perfect
hit, to save the life of the Governor's daughter, Jazz's world begins to
crumble around her. Her past and her present now threaten to destroy the life
she has carefully constructed for herself. Her face and name have been splashed
across the front page—by none other than Luke Montgomery—and her past has
reawakened with a vengeance. A vicious enemy is bent on destroying Jazz's life,
forcing her to turn to the one man she can never have in order to stop a killer
before she and everyone she cares about pay with their lives.

BEHIND THE LIES
Montgomery Justice, Book 2
Of the six Montgomery brothers, Zach has always walked on
the wild side. He rocketed to fame playing a hero in a movie, but offscreen
he’s living in the shadows. Zach’s dark secret: he leads a double life as a CIA
operative. When a mission to stalk a terrorist goes horribly wrong, Zach’s
cover is blown. He’s on the run and fighting to stay alive long enough to
discover whom he can trust—and who betrayed him.
Jenna Walters thought she’d married the perfect man—until
she unearthed his terrible secret. Now, desperate to escape his crosshairs, she
and her son take refuge in Zach’s secret hideaway. Sparks fly between Zach and
Jenna even as danger explodes around them.
From Afghanistan to Turkey to the mountains of Colorado,
assassins track them and are closing in. Not only is Zach’s life at stake, but
now Jenna and her son are targets in this high stakes game.

BEHIND
THE LIES TRAILER
She’d give the FBI one
last chance.
“Fallon.” The crisp
voice on the other end of the phone didn’t calm her as it had in the past. In
fact, he sounded shaken.
No more out of sorts
than she. “He knows.”
“Jenna?”
“One of the bugs is in
pieces. I’m telling you, he knows. I’ve got to get out of here. Now. I don’t
know why he hasn’t already killed me. Probably because he couldn’t find a
babysitter on such short notice.” The forced laugh didn’t hide the panic in her
voice.
Who was she kidding?
She shoved underwear into the bag and yanked open another drawer.
“Wait a minute, Jenna.
Let’s think this through. We can salvage the operation.” He didn’t sound like
himself. Something was wrong. The gut instinct that abandoned her when Brad had
swept her off her feet revved into overdrive.
For months after her
dad had died, she’d survived on the streets, instinct and desperation her only
allies. At fourteen she’d kept herself safe by trusting her gut.
Right now, every fiber
in her being told her that the man on the other end of the phone was lying to
her.
She couldn’t afford to
doubt. Besides, why should she be surprised that another person she’d trusted
was a liar?
