I'm thrilled to have author Adele Downs as a guest today to celebrate the release of her HOT new book from Entangled Publishing SANTA TO THE RESCUE. No better way to warm you up around the holidays than a fireman. Jamey Tucker, the hero in this book was so kind to answer a few questions
Enjoy!! And enjoy the book. I'm a huge fan of Adele! I'm sure you'll be too when you check out her books.
Check out the GIVEAWAY Adele is having at her website. Details at the end of the blog post!!!
Q. Jamey Tucker,
hero of SANTA TO THE RESCUE by Adele Downs, what makes you so special?
A.
Thanks for hosting me on your blog and calling me special! I’m just a rookie
firefighter with the Appleton Fire Station in Pennsylvania apple orchard
country, standing by to protect the safety of the families in our community. If
that makes me special, I’m happy to be of service.
Q. Do you have
special skills or abilities?
A.
I guess growing up in a household filled with sisters made me see how important
it is for a man to keep his word. When someone disappointed one of my sisters,
or they faced a setback, I learned to stay cool instead of busting a few heads.
Staying calm under pressure became an asset to my job. That life skill helped
me in my personal relationships and my role as a first responder. Having sisters
taught me to be a better man.
Q. Tell us about your most current
adventure.
A. The crew at Appleton Fire Station likes nothing better than to
break rookie… uh, let’s just say they like to challenge the new guy. How they
test me and decide whether or not I’ll make the grade at Appleton Fire Station
is at the center of SANTA TO THE RESCUE.
Q. Tell us a
little bit about your author. Where can we find more of her works? And if you
could offer your author advice, what would it be?
A. Adele says
SANTA TO THE RESCUE is appropriate for readers from Young Adult to the Senior
Center and she hopes will become a reader holiday favorite. Her next story,
KISSING HER COWBOY, will release January 10, 2014.
Q. Tell us a
little about your job.
A.
Being a firefighter is the greatest job in the world. I moved from my family
home in Indiana and relocate to Pennsylvania to join the Appleton team. They’re
a great group, even if they do like to push us new guys around. I’m from solid
Midwestern stock, so I can take it. I know how to push back. (laughs)
Q. Is expressing
love difficult for you? Why?
A. Once I met
Heather Longhurst, I had to hold back my feelings so I didn’t scare her off. I
like to think I’ve been raised with good sense where women are concerned. My
parents and grandparents proved that true love isn’t a myth. I believe in
lasting love, and don’t care if that sounds corny. Truth is truth.
Q. What’s your
favorite thing to do?
A.
Aw, come on. I’m a guy. I like sports and I love my girlfriend.
Q. Are there any
last words you’d like to share?
A. Remember this
important fire safety rule—find two ways out.
And, of course, I want to tell you
about how I met pediatric nurse Heather Longhurst in our story SANTA TO THE
RESCUE and how…Well, you’ll have to read the story to find out. At only .99 per
copy, I hope you’ll buy extras to send to your friends and family as Christmas
gifts or in place of a holiday card. Amazon has a gift buy button ready for
that purpose. Easy! After you buy and read the book, I also hope you’ll do me
the honor of posting a review.

away firefighter Christmas ornaments throughout her blog tour. To enter, answer
the following question: What’s your favorite Christmas song, and why? You must

SANTA TO THE RESCUE by Adele Downs
A sweet firefighter contemporary
romance novella
New Release! From Entangled
Publishing
Summary:
Firefighter
Jamey Tucker knows three things in life to be true: An honorable man doesn't go
back on his word, never hurts a woman, and lasting love isn't a myth. But with
his recent move to a new job at the Appleton Fire station, the long hours don't
offer hope of finding the love he’s looking for.
When
Jamey meets beautiful pediatric nurse Heather Longhurst after hearing her
sing Santa Baby in a supermarket aisle, he offers her a
promise he discovers he can't keep. Heather has been betrayed by men in the
past, making it hard for Jamey to gain her trust. Determined to find a way to
win her heart, Jamey uses firefighter engine-uity and Heather's
favorite song to prove he's got Christmas spirit she can believe in all year.
