About the Book
Missed Connection: I saw you
standing there, and I was struck by your eyes. Gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as
your smile.
Thanks
to her job at a crazy New Age spa, what should have been a sizzling NYC summer
is being hijacked by demanding hippie bosses. To unwind, Sarah spends her
nights cruising Missed Connections, dreaming of finding an uber-romantic entry
all about her. Of course, the moment she finds that Missed Connection, real
life comes crashing down around her in a night of unbridled passion with
someone completely different: totally off-limits Jack.
Best. Hookup. Ever.
Gorgeous
and wealthy, hot as sin, Jack can give Sarah everything she needs—except an
emotional connection. That she gets from her Missed Connection, the romantic
stranger who never fails to make her swoon. But there’s only so much of Sarah
to go around. Torn between the bad boy she can’t keep and the sensitive
stranger who bares his soul online, her heart and body are soon in two very
different relationships…or are they?

5 Book Boyfriends
By Tamara Mataya
We’ve all done it—claimed a fictional
boyfriend as OURS because they were painted so realistically and perfect for
us. If we had to choose, who would we say are our favourites? I’ve narrowed
mine down to five:
1. Jericho
Barrons from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. Hot
damn, how do I even begin to describe the man/creature who is Jericho Barrons? If
you haven’t read Moning’s Fever series, you are missing out. It’s probably my
favourite urban fantasy series bar none in no small part to Jerricho
Barrons—who has a huuuuuge…book store. ;) Like Jack, the hero of my new book Missed Connections, when Barrons walks
into the room, no one else exists. They’re magnetic and powerful.
2.
Gilbert Blythe from ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. ‘I hope he breaks your heart.’ Oh, Gil. You wanted Anne from the
first time you saw her—the same as Jack felt about Sarah in Missed Connections. Even though you had
to let her go until she was ready to come to her senses, things worked out okay
in the end. How many people fell in love with you in the books—and then with
Jonathan Crombie in the television series? I know I did. And even though he
passed away far too young, he’ll always be my Gil.
3. Marco
from ARK OF DREAMS by Jessa Russo. Okay, this book isn’t out yet but ADD IT TO YOUR TBR LIST! I’m not
normally a fan of dystopian literature because it can get depressing and
sometimes feel like everything’s been done. But trust me when I say that this
is one that won me over on the genre and not in small part (ahem) to Marco. He
really reminds me of Jack because not only are they both intense, they’re good
guys and there’s more to them both than what’s beneath the surface.
4. Helena
Hunting’s Alex Waters from PUCKED. I feel like I have to preface this by saying that Alex is Canadian
and so am I, and this book was peppered with Canadianisms that were bang-on
(pardon the pun.) I feel I’m only being honest when I say we have some of the
hottest men in the world in Canada. To add to that, Alex is a hockey player,
which is incredibly relevant to my interests. I’ve said before that nothing
makes me feel more Canadian than seeing a hockey fight—I even have a scar on my
thumb from a kid slashing me with his hockey stick when I was in high school. I
also chose Alex because he’s sweet and always makes sure his lady is okay with
exactly what he’s doing in bed! Enthusiastic consent is not an option and is
SEXY and Jack knows all about that in Missed
Connections.
5.
Farm Boy from THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Oh, dear, who didn’t fall in love with Cary Elwes’ portrayal of
Westley in the movie—one of my favourite movies of all time. My dad is a
musician and he met Andre the Giant one day as he was having an interview after
the actor. My dad is NOT a small guy—6’2, 225 then, but he says when Andre
shook his hand his hand was swallowed up and he felt tiny in comparison. Not
everyone has read the book, which is a shame as he’s magnificent in it as well.
His love for Buttercup was pure and real and he’d do anything for her—much like
Jack would for Sarah. Good thing shrieking eels don’t roam Manhattan!
Who are some of your favourites? Are we
going to have a catfight over any of the gentlemen I’ve listed above? *throws
hockey gloves to the ground* Bring it on!
