About and Giveaway: The Last One by Tawdra Kandle

Published: September 28th, 2014

Description:

Meghan Hawthorne is restless. The last year has been a roller coaster: her widowed mother just married a long-time family friend. Her younger brother unexpectedly became a father and a husband. Everyone’s life is changing. . .except for hers. As she begins her final summer of college, Meghan’s looking for excitement and maybe a little romance. Nothing serious; this girl just wants to have fun.

But the only man for Meghan turns out to be the last one she expects.

Sam Reynolds doesn’t need excitement, and he doesn’t want romance. Fun is out of the question. He’s been the steady, responsible one since his parents were killed, and serious is his way of life.

When Sam rescues Meghan alongside a dark Georgia backroad, she falls hard for his deep brown eyes and slow drawl. But making him see her as more than just a party girl won’t be easy. Sam’s tempted by the fiery young artist, even as he realizes that giving into his feelings will mean radical change. . .maybe more than he can handle.

Nobody ever said love was simple.

When I finished The King Series, I was ready to step away from both YA and series writing. Those characters had played themselves out. When the plot and characters from THE POSSE dropped into my lap, I was excited about the idea of writing adult characters in a stand-alone novel. And then. . .part way through it, I realized there were more stories among these characters. I intended to write about the rest of the Posse and Jude’s friends, but then Meghan turned out to be the one who spoke the loudest. And so the story was new adult.

Strong female characters are very important to me. I was raised by strong women—not to take anything away from my dad, who was always there for me and amazing, too—and I find damsels in distress boring. Even if a character begins a little quiet or subdued, I like to see growth in her as the story unfolds.

I had two incredible grandmothers, an amazing mother, a fabulous sister and I have three strong, confident daughters. My female characters tend to take after my girls; sweet, yes, but with a strong side of sassy. And no one keeps them down.
