LET’S
WELCOME
LAURA TRENTHAM
AUTHOR OF:
Rad-Reader: How did you come up with this story?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Why Bad Boys and football? ; )
Christine:
The only problem is, I know next to nothing about football! Luckily, my critique partner and amazing friend, Amanda Ashby, knew absolutely everything about the game. I lost count of the number of times I asked her advice on something (and we’re still friends!!!)
Rad-Reader: Violet was burned by her past relationships with a footballer and a so-called best friend. How or what happened?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Can you tell us some backstory about Lucas and Violet that the blurb/synopsis doesn’t tell us?
Christine:
Violet lives with her mum, stepdad, and little brother and although she has a great relationship with her parents, she sometimes feels like the odd one out.
Rad-Reader: Why does Katie have such a say about her relationship or at least thinks she does?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: How worried is Lucas about not making it back onto the field? Does Violet want a chance at a real relationship with Lucas or is he just a test run?
Christine:
Violet was so sure she wouldn’t get involved with him, even though she had a teenage crush on him a few years ago, but he’s so different to what she imagined. When they get together she tells herself it’s just a summer fling, even though deep down she wants it to be so much more.
Rad-Reader: What about Lucas? Does he want a relationship with Violet or to prove he can get the girl that didn’t want him?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Why are they both playing it down so much, the part about liking each other? Is it fear of being hurt? Or fear of being left behind?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: For Lucas is it just the fact he’s never been in a relationship before and now he is thinking about her almost as much as he is football?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Harry is really so different than Lucas. How did he even meet Alice anyway?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Now Mac, what is her story? What’s the story with her and Will? What happened to their friendship over the past three years?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Something told me you were going to say that. Dang, it!
Rad-Reader: Lucas seems to see himself as the sibling with the least amount of brains. Is that the press talking in his ear or his family over the years?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: How did Harry almost lose Alice and what did he do to get her back?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: Is Lucas’s Dad dating his mom’s old best friend, Margo?
Christine:
Rad-Reader: If your book was made into a movie who would you want to play…?
Violet: Sarah Hyland
Lucas: David Beckham (younger)
Mac: Violett Beane
Will: Grant Gustin
Harry: Rick Cosnett (younger)
Alice: Emily Bett Rickards
Yolanda: Behati Prinsloo

Rad-Reader: What song or songs best describes your couple or book as a whole?
“Unlove You – Jennifer Nettles”
Violet had been betrayed by a footballer and by a so-called best friend and that made her shut down from life. Her good deed for her mom puts her life in the path of footballer Lucas Carter an All-Pro. She turns down all his advances. For fear when she hears fully engaged she would burn out.
“You Say – Lauren Daigle”
After three weeks of helping Lucas and learning meeting and seeing the true Lucas and note the sound bite one, she believes he is genuine.
“Look at Me – Carrie Underwood”
She knew she agreed to “No Strings” but she knew it would kill her at the end because she is attached to Lucas already.
“Another Try – Chris Stapleton”
Made some assumptions and thought he talked them over with Violet. When it came to a head what he did was insult her and hurt her feelings.
"Wait For You - Stone Broken"
When Lucas was getting ready to move on to the next phase of his career he knew he was missing the most important element. Yet, if his twin was right he needed to meet Violet halfway.
“Make Him Wait – Abby Anderson”
She knew that she didn’t want to get involved with Lucas another footballer after her ex-hurt her so badly. The heart wants what it wants. When he ordered her to call after their spat before sending her home. No one orders her so she was going to make him wait. That’s when others made her realize she could lose him for her pride.
Christine:
This is Violet’s song 😊

Christine,
Thanks so much for being with us. I had a really good time reading about Lucas and Violet. Things are about to happen for Will and Mac and I can't wait to see where that goes. Thanks for taking time from your schedule to get all this stuff to me so fast. You are good. Stop by when the next book drops so we can put in on our Shout Out: An Author's Place.
Thank again,
Char
