Oh Fuck Yeah! (4 Stars)

We first meet Shayla and John in No Time Wasted. You HAVE to read that one first and it's just as wonderful as Shayla's Story.

I have no clue what it is about these Matthews/Clemmins men but I LOVE them all.  Sexy as sin and romantic. Total swoon worthy material. 

 I don't know how to explain this book, it's just perfect. The perfect love story. Beverly somehow managed to do it again. Reading Shayla's Story is like watching your favorite romance movie. At the end you are left happy and giddy wanting more. 

You fall for every character in the book as you get to know them. You become attached to them, like family. It's a beautiful thing that Beverly has done, giving you such a true image of them that you feel like you belong with them.

Shayla's Story has become one of my favorite books. Her characters are real, no far fetched stories here. It's good to escape the world of crazy story lines and catch up on something that you can relate to. Something that makes you feel connected. 

15 semi awkward questions with Beverly Preston

John or Tom?
I love both, but I’m of fan of chrome trim so I’d have to go with Tom.
**After reading Shayla's Story I'm all about John. Yummy Yummy***

Your top five smutty words that are instant mood killers?
C--- I hate that word enough for all five words. Dripping usually makes me cringe a bit too.

Star Wars or Star Trek?
Star Wars
**Seriously Star Wars!? I think I just fell more in love with you.**

We’ve all had dates from hell tell us about yours?
Oh boy! I was about eighteen and I went on a date with a very good-looking man in his mid-twenties. When I asked where we were going, he replied, “To a party.” We arrived at a warehouse-type building with a packed parking lot. I was like, Right on, Party Time! The two doves on the side of the building should’ve been a sign, but I was clueless. We walked in and people were swaying back and forth with their hands in the air crying out Amen! I was scared to death and needless to say, I wasn’t Saved that evening! I never went on another date before asking exactly what the night entailed!

Orgasm every five minutes or never again?
I’m a fan of the multiple whenever possible.

What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Arms! I love sexy, muscular arms. Not the kind you get from pumping iron, but the kind of definition you get from hard work.

Favorite book and author? 
Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

If you could have one super power for a day what would it be?
I want a Hermione Granger's Time Turner necklace. Surely, I could get my daily word count in.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
Regular coke in my Jack and diet.

Favorite guilty pleasure?
Starbucks!

Are you currently working on another book?
I’m in the middle of doing research for The Perfect Someday, book three in The Mathews/Clemmins Family series. It takes place at a winery in Italy.
***Eeeek!! Book 3 with this wonderful family!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!***

Favorite movie quote?
It’s impossible to give just one, so here are a few of my favorites.
“Asstastic. A-S-S-TASTIC.” – Couples Retreat
“Mother Fucker Jones” – Horrible Bosses
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” - Dirty Dancing
 “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” - Jaws
“It’s a Cinderella Story.” – Caddyshack
 “It’s a funny squeaky sound, Clark.” – Christmas Vacation
“Merry Christmas, kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah.” – Christmas Vacation

Tell us something no one knows about you?
Most people don’t know that I never dreamed of being a writer and I used to read more travel magazines than romance novels. I wrote my first book after having a dream. That dream turned into No More Wasted Time and then The Mathews/Clemmins Family series. Shayla’s Story is book two in the series.

What are you reading right now?
I just finished Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren. Loved it!

Anything you would like to add?
Thanks so much for having me!

Thank you Beverly for taking the time to sit down and talk to me and for this awesome blog tour!
