Today, it’s my pleasure to feature Cristin Harber and her most recent book, Delta Revenge. Ms. Harber has a quite a long history with SSBR. I’ve been reading and reviewing her books from almost 3 years and every book is a winner for me. Yep, I every single one.
Delta Revenge will go down as one of my favorites and that’s saying a lot. There is a distinction for me where my “favorites” are concerned, if it goes on my re-read pile, that means something. (Now that I think about it, there are a lot of Harber books in that pile.) Delta Revenge is going in the re-read pile. I loved it that much! Javier and Sophia are such an incredible combination,in that, he’s a badass and she is too! Javier has no idea to what extent she is but the characterization totally works.
Sometimes, as writers write books in series and the same genres, their characters can begin to feel the same. I think this can happen very easily in the romantic suspense genre as the characters tend to have very specific characteristics. As far as I’m concerned, this isn’t the case with Harber’s books. Every male character is distinctive and the storylines do not ever feel recycled. Revenge certainly has a very interesting setup and the book keeps hitting you with action-packed moments. The other side of the coin is her Harber’s ability to temper action and suspense with absolutely smokin’ hot sexytimes.
Get to know Cristin:
Can you start by introducing yourself to the readers that maybe don’t know you yet? Hi! I’m Cristin Harber, I’m a New York Times bestseller of sexy romantic suspense, military romance, and contemporary/new adult romance. I love writing alpha heroes and strong women, crazy situations, scorching hot scenes, and more often than not, things blow-up in my books.
Can you tell us a little about your journey to becoming an author? I’ve wanted to be a published author since I was a kid. I actually have my Young Author award from 6th grade framed in my office! Haha. For a while I’d pitched the traditional route, but ultimately, I found that indie publishing was where I was most comfortable. I’m entrepreneurial by nature and it makes me very happy to run my own publishing company.
What is something people would be surprised to know about you? Before I wrote romance I penned political thrillers.
Do you have any rituals when you write? I have a treadmill desk that I stroll on while writing. Sometimes I wander my neighborhood when I’m stuck on a section I can’t figure out.
Favorite snack? I’m a big fan of Greek yogurt (anything with Hazelnut and chocolate!) and Stacy’s Garlic and Parm pita chips, and of course, coffee with way too much milk and sugar.
Favorite drink? Coffee and the occasional Pepsi. It’s all about the caffeine.
Favorite song right now: Florida Georgia Line’s H.O.L.Y. But honestly, pretty much anything they sing is my favorite.
Last book you read: Nikki Sloane’s Sordid. I don’t usually read dark romances, but she’s a friend and her book was banned by Amazon. I have a problem with censorship (and there’s honestly no reason for the book to be unlisted, I’ve read much, much worse in the sub-genre). It’s a great read, wonderful characters, and I’m glad I picked it up! If dark romance is your thing, this is a sexy book!
Favorite movie of all time: Ummmm, hmm. Of all time? I’m going to skip this question. I’ve never been able to pick one of anything. Haha!
What’s your favorite book trope? To read and to write… I love happily ever after stories and one of my favorite tropes is best friend’s older brother and friends to lovers. But asically, I just love love. If they fall in love, I’m with them in in the story.
Who are some of your favorite authors and books? I love Kristen Ashley and Maya Banks among many, many others. Old favorite loves include the Twilight series! And I constantly re-read Kristen Ashley’s Unfinished Heroes series.
What is the best piece of advice you have received in your writing career so far? Don’t stop. Keep writing, keeping writing. Then write some more. Not all the words will be pretty. But there’s no excuse. If you want it bad enough, you do it. So that’s what I try for. Write as often as I can. Find the words that tell a story good enough for my readers, ignore my excuses, and keep going.
What’s coming up next for you? There’s another Titan book in the works! Bishop’s story is coming along and he should be available later this summer. And as always, I have some #supersecretprojects up my sleeve.
