5 things about Lucky Blumenthal from INFLUENCE

Surprisingly, this model’s name is LUCKY. LOL. I sure can pick’em.

Although you never meet Lucky Blumenthal in person in INFLUENCE (The New York Socialites series) he is a vital character in the book and the object of Mackenzie’s motivation.

Here are 5 important things to know about Lucky:

  1. He was an only child and heir to a real estate empire
  2. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol.
  3. Mackenzie was a calming, sobering influence on him.
  4. He refused to wear the color black in anything from clothes, to shoes, to accessories like belts and hats.
  5. He wanted to make a community where homeless people were given places to live, rent free.

5 Things to know about INFLUENCE, a new NYC Socialites romance releasing 8.14.2023

  1. Slow burn romance. The heat builds and builds until the flames can’t be doused except for one way. And you know what that way is, LOL
  2. Secrets. Both Mackenzie and Nick have secrets they don’t want the other to know. Since this is a romance, those secrets cause a great deal of conflict and inner turmoil for them both – the best kind of angsty romance!!
  3. Later in life romance. Nick’s pushing 40, Mac’s 36. No spring chickens, these two.
  4. Social Media Influencer. She gets paid to hawk products on-line.
  5. NY City is the third main character.

INFLUENCE is available for #readandreview on Booksprout…

Good news: if you’re a BOOKSPROUT reader and reviewer, the 4th book in my NYC Socialites series, INFLUENCE, is available for a limited time. Just click here to download your copy: BOOKSPROUT.

Reader reviews are the bed and butter of authors, and Booksprout readers are the best!!

If you do download the book, just a few caveats:

~this is an ADVANCED READER COPY which means it may have typos, missing words, etc. All those will be fixed prior to publication, so please don’t score the book low because of any you find

~there are a few explicit lovemaking scenes in the book, hence the steamy romance tag. NOT EROTICA or EROTIC ROMANCE, but normal, everyday, HOT sexy scenes. So know this. This book isn’t a sweet romance by anyone’s standards, LOL.

~posting your review to AMAZON is a must. Many people want to read the book but then don’t want to post to amazon – I don’t know why. But…if you do read it and don’t post a review on amazon, Booksprout has a way that they won’t allow you to read any more of my work, pre-publication. And I’d hate for that to happen.

~reviews are due on August 14 on Amazon, or within 7 days after.

I hope, if you can get an early copy, you enjoy it!

And if you’re not on Booksprout, no worries. You can preorder INFLUENCE from amazon, here: PREORDER LINK

About IT’S A TRUST THING:

Nell Newbery has trust issues.

It’s hard to trust when you’re the daughter of a fallen financial scion who bilked people out of billions. Nell’s done everything in her power to keep away from men who see her as their ticket to fortune and fame. All she wants to do is run her ultra-successful business, HELPFUL HUNKS, in peace. But it wouldn’t hurt to find a guy who doesn’t know a thing about her father’s felonious past; one she can give her heart to and trust it won’t come back to her battered, bruised, and broken.

Is Charlie Churchill that guy? On the surface, he seems perfect, all polished manners and quiet mirth. Nell’s convinced he knows nothing about her, other than she likes superhero movies and views junk food as a food group. Can she trust him to be what he appears to be? Or is he just pretending?

For Nell, trust is everything in life…and in love.

#preorder INFLUENCE part of the New York Socialites series by @peggyjaeger

Finally!!!
I’ve been waiting to get this book up for preorder for a while now!

Book 4 in the NEW YORK SOCIALITES series, INFLUENCE, will release on 8.14.2023. You can make sure you get your copy the day it releases, by clicking here: INFLUENCE

Brand influencer, Lizzy Cray, is killing it.

She’s got a list of high profile clients who pay her handsomely to help their products explode on social media. Everything from cameras to cashmere, shoes to smoothies. One picture of her with a product and the money practically prints itself.

Why does this trust fund-baby need to work so hard to rake in the cash? That’s a question journalist Dominick Templeton wants an answer to, because Lizzy Cray used to be known in the gossip pages as socialite and wild-child Mackenzie Craymore.

Mackenzie disappeared from the public’s eye twelve years ago, right after her fiancé, hotel-heir, Lucky Blumenthal, died in a fiery car crash rumored to be fueled by drugs and alcohol. But now she’s back, still hauntingly beautiful, rebranded, and from everything Dominick’s researched about her, a much different person. When she ignores all his attempts at an interview, Dominick tries a different tactic and soon becomes embroiled in a world he never imagined…with a woman he’s rapidly falling for.

If you like steamy contemporary romance, your name is all over this one, kids!
