Blog tour for "Collaboration" by Michelle Lynn & Nevaeh Lee



This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the “rock star” is a rapper. And not just any rapper. Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of ‘hot’ you choose.

Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is…or does she?

Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together—for better or worse. One thing’s for certain, the two media magnets can’t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?

***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences. The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy’s a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please.


~Excerpt~
Speaking of which, we’d better get the fuck out of this car and into her house before one of those tour buses stop by and the lucky bastards end up with photos worth way more than the chump change they paid for the tour.

I reluctantly pull away from her, loving the sound of the whimper I hear before I throw the door open and slam it shut. I run around the car to help her out and lead her toward one of the few places where we will be safe from prying eyes. We both move quickly, ducking our heads in a now natural response, even when there aren’t any cameras around.

Taryn already has her keys in hand and opens the heavy wooden door. Thank the fuck she has an alarm system at least, which she turns off while I close the door behind us. As soon as the door clicks closed, I turn toward her and I have no doubt that the look in my eyes as they meet hers would be described as predatory. But instead of looking like frightened prey, I only see pure lust emanating from those staggeringly beautiful eyes. I’ve always thought Taryn’s eyes changed color depending on her mood and now I’m sure of it. Right now, they look like they’re on fire, with gold flecks bursting through the wild and intense green, a forest on the verge of erupting in uncontrollable flames.
I stalk closer and she backs up against the foyer wall, where I cage her in, my hands beside each of her shoulders. I lean in, bypassing her lips and moving mine toward her ear. Although her eyes are telling me one thing, I need to hear what her mouth says.
“Do you want me?” I whisper. She leans her head back against the wall, further exposing her neck, and I take the opportunity to trail kisses from her ear down to her collarbone. I kiss across the delicate area, which judging by the sounds she’s making, is also an erogenous zone for her.  Then I proceed to kiss my way back up her neck before whispering in her other ear, “Although I like that answer, I need to hear you say it, sweetheart. Do. You. Want. Me?” I ask, nibbling on her earlobe with each word spoken.
“Yes, dammit, I want you,” she says forcefully and reaches down to pull my shirt apart, ripping the buttons, before tearing it off me. That’s all the answer I need.


~Review~
Collaboration was a very well written love story about two people from totally different worlds. Nevaeh Lee and Michelle Lynn did an excellent job writing this book together. I loved Taryn, hated her mom, and loved Regina. Trace, Trace, Trace, what’s there not love about him, he’s handsome, talented and sexy as hell. This is one book that you will not want to put down once you start to read it. I started it on my train ride to work and once I got home from work and got settled I started reading it. The drama and the sex scenes started to unfold and I couldn’t put it down, and boy the sex scenes were hot. Collaboration also a show us that it doesn’t matter if you can be from opposite’s sides of the world, love comes in my forms. Another thing that was awesome about this book is the depth of each character, the authors made sure you can picture every single emotion that the characters were going through so that you can feel it and live it along with them.
Great writing by Michelle and Nevaeh, prefect story, wonderful ending to a well written book by two talented authors

Planner or Panster? Okay, I'll admit I had to look that up since I've never heard of a "panster." I think I'm a bit of both; I plan in my head but don't outline and as I write, things don't always turn out the way I might have "planned" them. Panster, no matter how much I wish I was a Planner

White wine or red?   Red...love me some Malbec. White

Coffee or tea?   Until recently, I would have said tea in a heartbeat, but lack of sleep has required me to try coffee again. With enough hazelnut cream, I can drink it now! ;) Tea (Mint)

Twilight or Fifty Shades?  Dang, those are my choices? I guess Twilight...only because Robert Pattinson is all kinds of sexy (though I prefer when he's not ghost-white ;) Fifty for sure

Clubbing or candlelight dinner?  Clubbing, I love to dance! Tough one. candlelight with hubby, clubbing with the girls

Michelle Lynn
Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.

Nevaeh Lee
Nevaeh’s first exposure to writing began in a middle school creative writing class. She was reprimanded for composing a politically incorrect story and forced to re-write about a “safer” topic. Being the writing rebel that she is, Nevaeh always likes to push the envelope a bit and never re-writes, unless her editor insists on it.
When she’s not writing, Nevaeh is a freelance book editor ;).  And though she spends a good chunk of her time reading, writing, and editing, she can also be found hanging out with her family and taking road trips, exploring the area around wherever she happens to be living at the time. Even though “home” will always be Texas, she has lived in several different states and countries, but currently resides in the DC metro area.
