The Hopping Hippos: Part 2 is Coming on my Birthday! (And It's FREE!)

My new why choose romance novel, The Hopping Hippos (Part 2) is coming for free! — The Hopping Hippos (Part 2) is coming and it's free!

Hello beautiful friends,

I am so happy to be able to inform you that I have finally got a slot with my editor and am in the process of finalising edits, so I can bring THE HOPPING HIPPOS: PART 2 to you for free.

It'll be a FREE download for all newsletter subscribers! I will send out the link to the download page on my birthday, November 3rd. I can't wait to share this follow-on to THE HOPPING HIPPOS: HAPPINESS COMES IN LEAPS!!!

Please note, that this is a continuation of the story, so Part 2 is NOT a standalone! I know many of you have already read the first book, so you may want to freshen up on it here:

Characters

Janis - single mum and emptynester. Her twin daughters are at college while she is job hunting and is hired to be the personal assistant (glorified babysitter) of The Hopping Hippos, the world's most infamous rock band.

Riot - The Hippos have lost their keyboardist, Ricky James, to a drug overdose (off-page). He survived and is now in rehab, but won't return to the band anymore. There is an audition in London for a new band member and Riot is the last one auditioning. He gets the hots for Janis right away.

Shane - Badboy lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the Hippos who always needs to be centre of attention and is a bit of a diva. Janis has him on his hands and knees only minutes after her arrival at the band house in Atlanta. Shane was born on the same day as Tyler,and the two grew up as best friends and took guitar lessons together as kids. One day, they took classmate Reece along who then discovered his love for bass guitar. Shane's hobby is drawing.

Tyler - Lead guitarist of the Hippos and writes a lot of lyrics to songs. He loves words and spends hours writing when time allows, although lately, the entire band has been on a downwards spiral in free fall - sex, drugs and rock'n'roll style.

Reece - Bass guitarist of the Hippos and the quietest one of them all. He is tired of being high and having meaningless sex all the time but isn't quite sure how to withdraw from it all - until Janis comes along and whips them all into shape.

Wiggs - drummer of the Hippos, has severe ADHD and sees auras when he's off the meds and drugs. He liked to jump around wildly at parties as a teen, was disdainfully called a hopping hippo by a girl once, and that’s the epic story of how the band got their name. Even though he is mostly into women, he has a burning hot attraction with Riot, making the atmosphere between them scorching hot.

Blurb for The Hopping Hippos, Part 2

Janis Ratliff and her rockstars The Hopping Hippos are continuing their world tour, but the stress wears them down and the relationship suffers as a consequence. When a mentally disturbed groupie posts an intimate video and shots are being fired after a concert, things are spiralling out of control.
