Addison Westlake's Blog

My first romantic comedy, "Christmas in Wine Country" is free this weekend through 10/6. 

It's already #25 on Amazon's top 100 bestselling free books! Holla out to the 6,000 people who've downloaded it today -- including you 15 people in China. Nín hǎo, xièxiè (which I think means hello! thank you! in Mandarin. I hope.)

I'm thrilled to share my first romantic comedy with you all:

She's psyched to meet you!

Let's all give a big welcome to "Building Attraction", the new romantic comedy from Monique McDonnell!


Here's the blurb:


Hers has been a life of too many responsibilities and his has been a life of too few. Could the thing that initially repelled them from each other finally be the ultimate source of attraction?
Holly Adams has two jobs in the city, two petulant teenage sisters to support, a farm with a big mortgage and a terrible secret that propels her forward. Brad Winchester has a reputation for being a spoilt playboy who has abandoned his family business but he also has a secret that has finally brought him home.
When they are forced to together at work (Holly works at the cut-throat PR Consultancy that handles his family’s account Winchester Homes – They don’t build homes, they build dreams”)  a series of misunderstandings has them at odds.
Still while working together they learn they have more in common than either might have imagined – common friends, family loyalty and dreams of something different. When life keeps pushing them in each other’s paths they must decide whether this is an attraction that might be worth building on after all.

I'm psyched to read "Building Attraction" when it's out in mid-October! Got to love the series of misunderstandings that leads to romance!

She's not even released yet -- 5 days until 10/1 -- and FACEBOOK JEANIE racked up another 5/5 review!
ChickLit Pad LURVED it!

"Addison Westalake is my kinda girl. Surely, this is going amongst my (very few) pile of books that made me crack a rib. She isn't subtle with the humor one bit. It's constant and really, really funny. She takes humor all the way up. And that's what I like in my chick-lit."
I'm so excited! 
And a little worried -- this book is taking no prisoners. One blogger stayed up all night to finish it. This blogger says it makes you laugh so hard you'll crack a rib. Maybe the book needs a warning on it: so good it may be hazardous to your health.
Count down with me people: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1  FACEBOOK JEANIE LAUNCH 10/1!!!!!

"Facebook Jeanie" is out party hopping, having a ball today on Melissa's Midnight Musings:

Thank you, Melissa's Midnight Musings!

She's off to a great start! 
Not even published yet and "Facebook Jeanie's" first review is out! 5 out of 5 stars on goodreads!
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/716022194
This lovely goodreads reviewer said: "I didn’t want this book to end. It had me so hooked from the beginning, that the next thing I knew I was finished and it was 6 A.m." 
Well, now, you're making me blush. Stop. 
Just kidding, tell me more!!! 
Here's more: "I absolutely adored this! As an avid facebook user myself, I am well aware of scrolling through the life of someone from the past and wondering what might’ve been different... This was such a cute story. It was full of wit, realism and ridiculously funny/embarrassing moments we college students can relate to."
Oh my, thank you Natalia for your wonderful review. "Facebook Jeanie's" very first, before she even officially enters the world on October 1st. 
Yippee!!!
