Hot & Hooked
Donut Shop Diva – Miranda’s Book #4
By Khloe Adams
Synopsis
Miranda Hunter, donut shop diva and owner of HOT & GLAZED, thought she might never see Aiden Knight again. Surprise! The superstar quarterback signs up with Denver’s pro football team, moves to Colorado, and sends her a message: Aloha.
Miranda lives up to her last name. She “hunts” him down, determined to hook her man. But this time around, she has grown wiser. As their smoking-hot passion reignites, this mega-sexy pro will either have to play by her rules, her game, or lose her heart forever.
Author Interview:
Today I have the pleasure of sitting down and asking Khloe Adams, author of the Donut Shop Diva series, a few questions.
Welcome to Smut Book Junkie, Khloe, and thank you for your time.
SBJ: I learned from your website that you are, in fact, a collaborating trio of authors as opposed to one single entity. When was the concept of “Khloe Adams” born?
Khloe: We tease that we met on an elevator at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention, and the elevator became stuck. But not to worry. We write romance, not horror. A male model from a romance cover was trapped with us. He kept us very entertained. Afterward, we needed a drink to cool down and headed for the nearest bar. One thing led to another and we decided to form a partnership in July 2013 and write about independent women and strong, sexy guys. We really like elaborating on the male model part—shoulders like a Viking ship, abs that practically burst through his Polo top, and thighs the size of rockets—because if we gave the basic facts, it would put everyone to sleep when they read our bio.
SBJ: How does working as an individual work versus being a trio? Do you each take parts of the book(s) or are you each others’ sounding board?
Khloe: All of the above. The three most important things to remember when working as a team is to leave your ego at the door, respect each other’s suggestions and opinions, and laugh—alot! Just try writing a sex scene together! Every decision we make—from plots to social media events to covers—has to rep Khloe as a united voice who writes hot and sexy contemporary romances with a touch of humor.
SBJ: How do you collectively manage signings and author events, do you appear as a trio or each attend separately to cover more ground?
Khloe : So far, it hasn’t been possible to attend an event as a trio since two of us live in Florida and the other one in Colorado. On the good side, we can cover a lot more territory going to author events and signings.
SBJ: Who are your inspirations or role models?
Khloe : There’s a great little book by Austin Kleon called, Steal like an Artist, 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative. He encourages you to pick your role models and discover all the good things they’re doing, then do it your own way. From the beginning, we found indie authors we thought were great writers, marketing/social media wizards and had fabulous covers/art work. We’ve been inspired by so many authors, like Bella Andre, Mimi Strong, J.R. Ward, Jasinda Wilder and Melanie James.
SBJ: If you had to tweet a description of your books, including writing STYLE, what would you say?
Khloe:
Two hot & delicious men. One lucky girl. See the sprinkles and sparks fly in #EroticRomance Donut Shop Diva Serial – Miranda’s 4-Book Story!
SBJ: After “Donut Shop Diva – Miranda”, what is your next Work in Progress? When can we expect that to come out?
Khloe: Great question. The next serial will be about Rachel who is Miranda’s younger sister. In her early twenties, Rachel is a free-spirited, fun-loving Donut Shop Diva and co-owner of HOT & GLAZED. She’s a prize-winning pastry baker who meets her match in a competition. He’s an Italian stallion who also happens to be a gourmet chef. The three-book serial will be released the first quarter of 2015.
SBJ: What are you currently reading?
Khloe:

Author Bio:
The truth behind Khloe Adams is—she’s not one author but three. Plus, one of the author’s is a USA Today Bestseller and has written over 75 books! All together, we write hot and sexy contemporary romance with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of new adult.
Our story began when we met each other for the first time on an elevator at a Romantic Times Convention. It ended up not to be an ordinary ride. The elevator became stuck between the fiftieth and fifty-first floors at the hotel.
But don’t feel bad.
A male model that you see on romance covers was trapped with us. He kept us entertained. Just remembering the way he looked, still makes us drool to this day.
Needless to say, we found ourselves disappointed when the elevator moved again and we had to say goodbye to our fearless passenger. Excited by the experience, we needed a drink and headed for the nearest bar. Well, one thing led to another and we decided to form a partnership and write about feisty heroines and strong, sexy heroes.
With the help of modern technology, we’ve managed to do it. Two of us live in Florida, and one lives in Colorado. All together, the three of us bring over thirty years of award winning writing.
We hope you enjoy our books and look forward to reading more.
Happy reading,
Khloe
