Hi, I’m JL Merrow, and I’m delighted to be here as part of
the blog tour to celebrate the release of Lovers
Leap, my fast-paced romantic comedy with a leap year theme set on my
beloved, native Isle of Wight. Lovers Leap features two very different young
men—each of whom will need to take a leap of faith if their love is to survive!
If they looked, would
they ever leap?
Good-looking, confident, and doted on by his widowed mum,
Michael is used to thinking only of himself. Getting shoved off an Isle of
Wight pier by an exasperated ex ought to come as a wake-up call—but then he
meets Rufus and he’s right back to letting the little head take charge. Rufus
is cute, keen, and gets under Michael’s skin in a disturbing way.
Would-be chef Rufus can’t believe his luck when a dripping
wet dream of a man walks out of the sea on his birthday, especially when
Michael ends up staying at the family B&B. Life is perfect—at least until
Michael has to go home to the mainland.
Rufus can’t leave the island for reasons he’s entirely
neglected to mention. And though Michael identifies as bi, breaking his mum’s
heart by coming out and having an actual relationship with a guy has never been
his plan. With both men determined to keep their secrets, a leap of faith could
land them in deep water.
About J.L. Merrow:
JL Merrow is that rare beast, an English person who refuses
to drink tea. She read Natural Sciences
at Cambridge, where she learned many things, chief amongst which was that she
never wanted to see the inside of a lab ever again. Her one regret is that she never mastered the
ability of punting one-handed whilst holding a glass of champagne.
She writes across genres, with a preference for contemporary
gay romance and mysteries, and is frequently accused of humour. Her novel Slam! won the 2013 Rainbow Award
for Best LGBT Romantic Comedy, and her novella Muscling Through and novel
Relief Valve were both EPIC Awards finalists.
JL Merrow is a member of the Romantic Novelists’
Association, International Thriller Writers, Verulam Writers’ Circle and the UK GLBTQ Fiction Meet organising
team.
