Miss Apprehension and Free Books!

Did Cherise really want to run away from her wedding only to involve herself with yet another man--and a high-profile movie star at that?

Romance outshines any Hollywood star in these three romantic novellas where celebrities learn that some things are more important than fame.






Miss Apprehension, by Trish Perry

The setting for Cherise Paul’s destination wedding couldn’t be more romantic. So why does she feel she’s being dragged down the aisle?

She doesn’t plan to run away and become entangled with the famous young actor, Niles Adair, and his film crew, but circumstances unfold exactly that way.

When her fiancé, Jerry Gallagher, re-enters the scene, Cherise must decide: What does she want? What is she afraid of? What does she not understand? And who would have thought that Spanx could play such a pivotal role in one woman’s destiny?


Hollywood, Texas, by Kathleen Y'Barbo

Movie industry insiders may call actress Amy Foreman the next Grace Kelley, but Texas veterinarian Adam Chambers calls her the woman who broke his heart. Now she’s grooming dogs in his clinic while the trouble she left back in California untangles in her absence.

Where does a woman with the most famous face in America go to hide? Home, of course. From Hollywood, Texas to Hollywood, California and back again…can a small town veterinarian and a famous hometown movie star rekindle their lost love?

Deep in the Heart of Mayhem, by Janice Thompson

Welcome to the Texas Hill Country, y’all! It’s the perfect place for love, weddings, and mayhem! Brooke Morrow never dreamed she would end up coordinating a wedding for Hollywood starlet, Matti Maynor. Against her better judgment, she finds herself organizing the wedding of the century. It doesn’t help that Matti is marrying Texas senator, Jake Bradford, who happens to be Brooke’s ex.

Between the bride and the altar stands a whodunit complicated enough to send even the best sleuth running for the hills. Can Brooke survive the twists and turns while coordinating a wedding she’d sooner avoid? Will the whodunit be solved in time for the big day?


This collection is available for a short time for only 99 cents at Starstruck on Amazon,but I plan to give away a copy to someone who answers this question:

The Rules

Dear readers,

In order to comply with nitty gritty laws about giving away all of these awesome novels, I'm posting the following rules and will post a link to this post with each future giveaway. Nothing has changed about my giveaways or your involvement/responsibility, but there's been much chatter lately about some little bureaucratic gremlin insisting upon the posting of these rules. I aim to please, even bureaucratic gremlins. So:

Disclaimer:
1. No purchase necessary to enter any giveaways given on this site (http://www.trishperry.com). The giveaway will end on the date stated in the posting. The opportunity to play may be affected by local ability to access the Internet at any particular time. The odds of winning depend upon the number of participants.

2. Open to all readers, 18 years or older who are legally allowed to participate in such a give away as allowed by their local laws. The giveaways are limited to United States mailing addresses only.

3. Players must submit the required information for each give away which will allow the entrant a chance to win. Entrants will be informed if they are a winner on or after the give away end date. Limit one entry per person. Trish Perry is not responsible for: incomplete, lost, late, damaged, scrambled or misdirected entries or other errors of any kind whether human, mechanical or electronic, which may limit a user's ability to participate in the giveaway.

Trish Perry assumes no responsibility or liability for any damages, losses, or injury resulting from the acceptance or use of any prize. All prizes are mailed out within 6-8 weeks of announcement of winner.

7. Entering the giveaway is considered a confirmation of eligibility on behalf of the enterer in accord with these rules and any pertaining local/federal/international laws.

Extra entries: On occasion I feature an author who is not giving a book away. Comments on those interviews are entered an additional time in one or more upcoming drawings, as indicated in the posting. Again, only one entry per interview allowed, and above rules apply.

There now. That wasn't so bad, was it?
