An Excerpt From Clean Break ~

​TRAVIS
 
I was frozen, arms and legs heavy with desire or shock. I wasn’t sure which. I wanted Connor to keep kissing me, and I wanted him to stop right fucking now.

He must have sensed my unease because he pulled back and stared at me. My vision had adjusted to the dim light, so I could make out the muddy hazel of his eyes and the way his jaw ticked. He had faint acne scars on his cheeks that I’d never noticed, giving his face a rugged quality that was almost offset by all his adorable freckles.

“I’m sorry. I should have asked you first,” he said.

“It’s fine,” I whispered. My voice was shot.

“Can I kiss you again?”

This was the weirdest day. First, I’d discovered I was going to get a pet cockroach, and now the guy who I’d lost an entire semester pining after was asking permission to kiss me in a closet. There was a metaphor in there somewhere, but I was not in the right mind to analyze it. 
I was curious. And he was sexy as all fuck. Maybe because he was so repressed and stoic? I wanted to be the one to unravel him.

“I suppose,” I said.

This time he sucked on my bottom lip, and my knees immediately went weak. He didn’t kiss like other guys. He kissed like he wasn’t totally sure of himself, and maybe it made me a jerk, but I wasn’t helping him out at all. I stood stock-still, and let him explore.
​
He kissed slowly around my mouth, his lips slipping against mine, almost reverently, and my head spun.
 
This was not a breath-stealing kiss. His tongue wasn’t stuffed so far in my mouth I couldn’t think. In fact, he hadn’t used his tongue at all. He captured my top lip, suckled lightly, then nibbled on it. 

I couldn’t help it. I groaned and pulled him closer so our bodies touched. He pressed me into the door with an intensity that scared and excited me all at once. The back of my head ground into one of those plastic glowing stars.

“Shhh,” he mumbled, his mouth not leaving mine.

“Don’t shush me,” I snapped before gripping his face in both hands and biting his lip hard.

He grabbed my hands, ripped them off his cheeks, and pinned them above my head against the closet door.

We stared at each other, both breathing hard. 

“I liked that,” he said. His voice was wary, as if he didn’t want to give too much away. 
​
I wanted him to give everything away.

Our Exclusive Q & A With Erin!

Welcome to the blog tour for Clean Break, a m/m college romance between two men whose life plans are taking them in opposite directions. This story is sweet, slightly angsty, and a little kinky. I’m so excited to share this Q&A I did with Agents of Romance with you. There’s also a giveaway at the end of the post!
1. Who is your favorite character from other books?
 
Akira Mori from A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai. Akira is ambitious, rich, rowdy, abrasive, wild, and hot. She’s a bad girl with a penchant for throwing orgies. What’s not to love?
 
2. Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
 
I have two. First, Travis Bradford in Clean Break. He’s ambitious and career-focused while also being light-hearted and unique. He was a joy to write from beginning to end.
 
My other favorite character that I’ve written is Victor Consuelos in Life of Bliss. He is a ray of sunshine, and he brings light to every scene. Also, he’s a great friend and awesome older brother.
 
Both Travis’s and Victor’s books are Book 2 in their individual series, but their books can be read as standalones. I didn’t have plans for either of them when I originally put them on the page to help their besties in Controlled Burn and Life on Pause. But both Travis and Victor stole the show.
 
3. Can you share with us something about your new release, Clean Break, that isn’t in the blurb?
 
Sure. Be prepared for kinky use of spreadsheets, strip Mario Brothers 3, lots of longing, some awesome best friends and younger siblings, and Madagascar hissing cockroaches named Troilus and Cressida.
 
4. Do you have a library membership?
 
I do! I was a public librarian for years. I love my library here in Alaska. I utilize their digital services, like Overdrive and Hoopla, and even attend a Romance Book Club at my favorite branch.
 
5. Have you ever been on any sports teams? If so, what sport?
 
I was quite athletic growing up, but my main sport was always fastpitch softball. My high school’s team was very good and had a great legacy of making it to the State Tournament. I was a four year starter and made All-State my senior year. Softball runs in my family. Both of my older sisters were very good players—one even played in college. I plan to one day write a softball romance!
