Hello! I’m Erin, and welcome to the blog tour for my m/m college
romance, Controlled Burn! I can’t
wait for you to meet Joel and Paulie, and hope you enjoy their romance as much
as I enjoyed writing it.
Follow along as I stop off at several blogs throughout the week, and
don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a $25 Riptide Publishing
gift card!
About Controlled
Burn
At eighteen, Joel Smith’s
life fell to pieces. His boyfriend died in a car crash while reading a sext
from him, the local newspaper outed them both in the aftermath, and his parents
got a divorce. Joel did everything possible to outrun his past: he moved to
Oklahoma for college, legally changed his name, and started over.
Since
then, he hasn’t let anyone get close—not his classmates, not his roommate, and
definitely not his hookups. The strategy has served him well for over three
years. Why would he change it now?
But
Joel doesn’t plan on the articles about his boyfriend’s death being used as a
case study in one of his classes. And he doesn’t plan on Paulie McPherson, who
is sweet and giving and fun. In Paulie, he finds a home for the first time in
years.
But
love isn’t simple, and lies have a tendency to get in the way. Joel must figure
out if he’ll allow his grief to rule him, or if his connection with Paulie is
worth letting all of his walls come tumbling down.
About Erin McLellan
Erin McLellan writes contemporary
romance, often set in the South or Midwest—particularly Oklahoma, Kansas, and
Texas—with characters that are complex, good-hearted, and sometimes a little
quirky. Erin likes her stories to have a sexy spark and a happily ever after.
Erin has a
bachelor’s degree in creative writing from Oklahoma State University and a
master’s degree in library and information studies from the University of
Oklahoma. She has always enjoyed writing, but becoming a librarian and meeting
enthusiastic romance readers helped her find her own writing passion. Now Erin
cheerfully writes romance with characters across the LGBTQIA spectrum. A former
public librarian, she still enjoys being surrounded by books and readers, but
Erin hopes to find her stories on the shelves as well.
Originally from
Oklahoma, she currently lives in Alaska with her husband, and spends her time
dreaming up love stories set in the Great Plains. She is a lover of chocolate,
college sports, antiquing, Dr Pepper, and binge-worthy TV shows.
