Romance Book Casting Call with Vicky Dreiling and Giveaway

Today I would love to welcome to the Casting Call Vicky Dreiling. Vicky is amazing and her books rock my socks. She is also the brilliant mastermind behind Man Candy Mondays. Seriously, I <3 Vicky big time and I super happy to have her back on the blog to celebrate with us.


Vicky Dreiling is a confirmed historical romance junkie and Anglophile. Frequent business trips to the UK allowed her to indulge her passion for all things Regency England. Bath, Stonehenge, and Spencer House are among her favorite places. She is, however, truly sorry for accidentally setting off a security alarm in Windsor Castle. That unfortunate incident led her British colleagues to nickname her “Trouble.” When she’s not writing, Vicky enjoys reading, films, concerts, and most of all, long lunches with friends. A native Texan, she holds degrees in English literature and marketing.

In my first two books, I had no trouble at all casting the heroes. Henry Cavill made a fantastic hero for Tristin in HOW TO MARRY A DUKE, and a younger Joseph Fiennes as he appeared in Shakespeare in Love made the perfect model for Hawk in HOW TO SEDUCE A SCOUNDREL. But when it came to a casting call for William ‘the devil’ Darcett in my third book HOW TO RAVISH A RAKE, I drew a blank. In my head, I knew exactly how he looked. Dark, rumpled hair, a chiseled jaw, and a devilish expression in his dark eyes—not to mention his “I’m a rake” smile, the one guaranteed to make any woman weak in the knees. The problem? I couldn’t find any actors or models who looked the way I envisioned him in my head.

Then I got the cover for HOW TO RAVISH A RAKE. I was astonished because the models looked exactly like Will and Amy. Here’s the cover so you can see for yourself.

I was thrilled and thought my work was complete, until Kati emailed and reminded me that I’d volunteered to do this blog. Uh-oh, time to surf the net for hot guys. So I surfed, and surfed, and surfed. Then I asked for help on Twitter! Yay, tweeple helped. So here is a photo of Peter Porte (from The Young & Restless) who sort of resembles Will. All he needs is the bad boy smile and the devilish twinkle in his eyes. And some tight breeches! =)

SCANDALOUS DESIRES . . .

Amy Hardwick has one last Season to shake off her wallflower image and make a love match. If she can’t, she’ll set aside her dreams of romance and return home to a suitor who can provide security—if little else. What she doesn’t count on is the inappropriate—and irresistible—attention lavished on her in a darkened library by rake extraordinaire Will “The Devil” Darcett . . .

DEVILISH DELIGHT

When Will is caught in a tryst with the ton’s shyest miss, he knows he must offer for her hand. Yet Amy is not the shrinking violet she seems to be. Passion lies beneath her prim exterior and Will is eager to release it. But winning Amy isn’t simply a matter of seduction; first, Will must convince her that he’s mended his wicked ways . . .
