Tour Stop: Starlight by Mimi Strong ~~ Review, Interview and Giveaway

So, I fly my rockin' curves off to LA for the big Peaches Monroe (that's me) underwear shoot.
I'm nursing a broken heart from you-know-who, when along comes Keith Raven. Sexy, tanned, and nearly naked. He's my new co-model, and let me tell you, Keith is the full package with a big package (wink, wink).
My new bestie Mitchell warns me that all male models are walking disasters, but I think Keith's different. He meditates, for example. And, unlike some people, he doesn't toy with my affection.
Staying at Keith's apartment in LA and swimming in his pool is heavenly, not to mention the more intimate details of our Rebound Arrangement. What's a Rebound Arrangement, you ask? It's a fixed-length romance and a great way to turn your world upside-down.
Meanwhile, Dalton Deangelo is trying to redeem himself and win me back. He sucks at redemption, but he is charming.
Somebody please stop me, because if I keep slamming my heart like this, it's going to break.

PEACHES!!!! 
Have you meet Peaches?! You must read Stardust first if you haven't. She's my girl crush!

When we last left Peaches in Stardust I was crying for her and pissed but I know my homegirl won't give up.  I have no clue Peaches gets herself into the things she does but I love every word out of this book! It's never dull. Every single thing that she says, does or goes on around her has you rolling! I seriously want Peaches to be my BFF. 

And the men she meets! WTF girl?! We're about the same size, where were the hot famous men when I was single?! 1 week, I just want to spend one week as her having mind blowing meditation sex! 

I absolutely adore this series and Peaches. She's a confident smart ass woman. She makes me feel good about myself. 

Do you need to read this series? Seriously, you are asking yourself that? Don't be stupid and go meet Peaches' peaches ;)

Q. Where did you get the idea for this series?
A. Part of the inspiration is from that great romantic comedy movie, Notting Hill. Also, about a year ago, I wrote a book about a smart mouth waitress, and people loved the character so much. It was a YA book, and I had this weird psychic feeling (ha ha) that people might like a sassy character like that in an adult book, along with lots of sex and romance and great banter. I knew that I'd love to read a book like that, so I figured it would be fun to write, and it is!

Q. Will Peaches find love?
A. Um, what do you think? Do I seem like a particularly cruel author? ;-) I'm trying to write a romance here! I think it will happen, eventually.

Q. When is book 3 coming out? And book 4?
A. I haven't set a date yet. I write fast, so it won't be too long, but I need to take my time and take care of Peaches while simultaneously torturing the poor girl. Writing a series with a character that readers love so much makes me feel like Peaches Monroe is a real person, and I'm just licensed to write her story. If I don't do a great job, I worry I'll get fired. So, I'm going to try to get you more books as quickly as I can without getting fired. (Don't worry about my mental health; I hear this is completely “normal” for authors of series.)


Q. What's the hardest part of writing?
A. Usually I say it's the words. But today I'll be serious and give you a serious answer: fear. Always the fear. I'll be typing a sentence and imagine a specific person reading that sentence, and it stops me cold. It's a huge mind game to get over that stage fright. Some authors drink. I've tried a beverage or two, and it doesn't help at all, so I just have to stare down the blank page and the fear, totally sober, like a good role model. (You're welcome!)






Hello! I'm bestselling author Mimi Strong, and I write funny, sex books. You could call my stories chick-lit, erotic romance, sex comedy, new adult, or contemporary romance. Most of my characters have a wicked sense of humor.

I've always had a lot of sides. Sometimes I'm vulnerable, and sometimes I go after what I want without a single doubt.

I love making everyone around me laugh.

When I get a message from a reader like you, who says she hit her head on the headboard from laughing too hard and woke up her husband, I think that's pretty awesome.

I've always enjoyed empowering stories about kick-butt women who don't hold back and the awesome men who are smart enough to love them.

I live on the west coast with Mr. Strong and our two kitties. I drink coffee, wear pants, and breathe oxygen.
