Killer Curves
by Roxanne St. Claire
Buy book: $6.29

From the bestselling author of "French Twist" comes this tale of romantic suspense in which a debutante in disguise and a sexy, bad-boy NASCAR racer must solve a murder to save a life . . . and try not to fall in love.

Start your engines...I'm excited to be part of this forum and happy to answer any questions about reading, romance, writing or racing. Killer Curves was a "book of my heart" -- I hope you enjoy Beau & Celeste as much as I enjoyed creating their story. I promise you DON'T have to be a NASCAR fan...I wasn't when I started writing. But I admit I've become hooked...buckle up!

This book seems to have an interesting beginning. Hopefully it will continue to be a good book. I look forward to reading the next couple of installments to decide whether or not I will read it to the end.

I'm hooked already. If my library doesn't have a copy I'll certainly look in my bookstore. Can't wait for the rest of the installments.

I have to say from the first installment that my interests are piqued. My husband and I watch NASCAR, but that's not what first reeled me in. I love the main female character from the first couple sentences. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.

This book seems like it is going to be very interesting. I can't wait for the next 4 days. I checked the library, they don't have it so going to have to check elsewhere.

Did you know you can request that your library buy the book so you can check it out?
They have a fund for new books.
Ask your librarian to order "Killer Curves" if they don't have it.
You help everyone out. The author and anyone else who comes looking for it later.

I'm a big believer in your nieghborhood library…pinching pennies

Roxanne,

I have to say so far that what I am reading of "Killer Curves" I am one Satisfied Reader! :D I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the story to find out more about Beau and Celeste! :) You are one talented author! ;) Keep it going, and congratulations on all your achievements! :)

A Fan of your book,
Pamela From NYC,

I love the way this starts out it definately has my interest. I can't wait to read the next few excerpts.

This book has definitely caught my attention. I'll look for it at my local library.

HI, so far so good i look foward to reading your book everyday, keep up the good work i'm only on day 3 of my read but i'm really into it if the rest of the book is this good then hooray for both of us

This book sounds real interesting! I love romance novels with a splash of intrigue and mystery. I will be sure and look for it so that I can finish it!

Thanks for your enthusiasm, readers! I can't wait for you to meet the hero -- he's my personal favorite part of the book. And, yes, definitely ask your librarian for the book -- it's in most library systems. Enjoy!

The hero's name is Beau and he has semisweet chocolate-brown eyes!!! I'm hooked now.

Seriously, I'm really liking this one. I enjoyed the opening scene because of the snappy dialog between the women who are obviously good friends.

More, more!

I am loving this so far....but I have a question. Does Celeste know Beau before and have a history with Beau or something...because she is making a real big deal out of seeing Beau. Or is it just a fan's obsession or what???

Thanks for the questions and emails! To answer, Celeste knows who Beau is because he is connected to a man who harbors a deep secret about her. Her response has nothing to do with his fabulous racing career, and everything to do with worrying about whether or not he's in her world to reveal her secret. As we soon find out, he is...

So glad you're enjoying the story!

Hi Roxanne,

Welcome to the dear reader forum. I think that it is a great thing that you took time out to chat with us this week.

How did you come up with the names of your characters - Beau & Celeste? Are they based on people you know? Is any of the story based on your life, or on people you know?

Mahaira

Mahairi (a beautiul name!) asked about the names of Beau and Celeste. My friend from grade school was the first (and for many years)only female racing fan I ever knew and her initials are CB. I picked Celeste Bennett to honor that lifelong friendship and also because I think the name Celeste is gorgeous and elegant. Later in the book, she "changes" her identity and has to choose another name, so she picks "Cece" which is different from her formal name, but not a stretch. When she steps into "Cece's" shoes, she changes...a lot. There's a theme about 'who you are' and 'who you think you are' in this story, so the names were important to me. And Beau? I just thought it is sexy and southern! You'll find that Beau is a made up name, too -- his real name is Garrett, and again, "real" versus "perceived" identity is a strong part of the storyline. Enjoy!

I certainly am intrigued and will look for
this book at my library or used bookstore asap so I can continue. Your storyline and characters promise to be unusual and interesting.

I join the others in my sincere thanks to you for taking the time to chat, answer questions, and elaborate on this book.

I can't wait to grab this book at the library! What a great story line so far. And what a cliffhanger!!

Thanks, Roxanne, for joining us this week. It's always a pleasure to have the author in our presence.

ROMANCE NOVELS ARE USUALLY " SAPPY"... WITH UNREALISTIC STORY LINES!

I got this book from the library. I read the whole thing in one day.
It was suspenceful and exciting. You couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
