Conclusion of The Paris Connection Blog Tour!


http://seasonsofhumility.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Paris%20Connection%20Blog%20Tour

How a vacation can fly by when you're having fun! Hard to believe The Paris Connection blog tour has already reached its end... I hope you had a great time taking a virtual trip to Paris with Cerella, all the participating bloggers, and I. I had a wonderful time organizing the tour with Cerella - she's such a sweet person who writes such sweet books! If you haven't yet had the chance to read The Paris Connection or her previous two releases (Gentle Persuasion and Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania - both of which I recommend!), you can find purchasing info/links on Cerella's website HERE.

And just because this tour is over doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to Cerella! Visit Cerella's website to find all the ways you can connect with her online - and be sure to subscribe to her newsletter to stay in the know regarding any upcoming releases!

Seeking Reviewers for a Clean Romance Set in Paris!

I'm organizing a blog tour for Cerella Sechrist's upcoming release, The Paris Connection (from Harlequin Heartwarming)! We're looking for bloggers who enjoy sweet/clean romances to join in by posting a book spotlight, review, or interview. The blog tour is scheduled for March 2-8, with the posts to be shared March 3-7. It's going to be a blast with its focus on Paris, romance, and travel (including an awesome themed giveaway package or two)! So if you meet the qualifications shown on the form - namely the number of blog followers (50+), a willingness to read the e-ARC in PDF format if you want to review the book, and a love for romance - please considering joining in the fun. The more, the merrier!

Here's the book cover and blurb:


Sparks are flying in the city of light… 

Emma Brooks, single mom and managing director at the leading recruiting firm in Paris, was against their merger with an American company from the start. Not only was her firm losing its autonomy, she was losing her well-deserved promotion to Cole Dorset – a handsome, arrogant interloper from New York! 

How did Cole’s ex-girlfriend’s dream of moving to Paris become his nightmare? Now he’s got to find his way in a new country, and the woman showing him the ropes wants to string him up by one. But as he gets to know Emma and her daughter, he realizes Paris may have more to offer than he thought…
