First, I want to thank Brianna for having me today! I’m a big fan of her blog so it’s always a pleasure to be here.

I’m curious if your mother always—or ever—harped on you about the importance of first impressions? You know, dress a certain way and remember your manners? All those things that people see first when they meet you.

Have you ever met someone who left a first impression so strong that you never forgot them? Whether the meeting happened at work or running an errand or at a wedding, did someone do something or say something that stuck with you for days or weeks or even years?

In Living Dangerously, my characters first meet under really difficult circumstances… probably the worst time to meet anyone, but the impression they make on each other will last a lifetime. (Granted, meeting under extreme conditions alone will probably keep a person on your mind no matter what!) But what is it specifically that stays with you when you meet someone? Is it the words or the person’s actions? Maybe it’s their smile or their attitude. Maybe it’s a handshake or the sound of their laugh. It could be anything.

In Living Dangerously, it’s a simple introduction that bonds Troy to Julie. Not so much in her words, but because of her timing. I love these two together because they bring out the best in each other. They never would’ve met under normal circumstances, but upon their meeting they have an instant connection. Julie brings out the best of Troy and in turn, he works hard to give her what she needs. A match made in heaven.

What about you? Have you ever had a first meeting with someone that stuck with you for a long time? (You might’ve even ended up marrying that person!) Or maybe you met someone and wish you could forget it! I’d love to know your story.

I’ve got a free digital copy of Danger Zone for one commenter. (Speaking of introductions…Danger Zone is where you first meet Julie Fraser.)

Title: Living Dangerously
Series: Adrenaline Highs, Book 4
Author: Dee J. Adams
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Published: May 20, 2013 by Carina Press

Julie Fraser, Hollywood's newest "it" girl, arrives on the red carpet to more than just the flashes of the paparazzi's cameras. A sniper's shots leave her bleeding and in the line of fire. Her life would be over if it weren't for the bodyguard who comes to the rescue—taking a bullet in the process.

Troy Mills, a P.I. working undercover, couldn't stand by and watch an innocent woman die, but now he's torn. How can he tell her that he's not a bodyguard, but a P.I.? A P.I. hired to prove that Julie is sleeping with the movie producer he's pretending to protect.

When a second attempt is made on Julie's life, Troy realizes that keeping her safe is more important than any supposed affair. And in order to keep her safe, he'll have to keep her close. But desire and danger are hot on Julie's heels. Who could have guessed that protecting an A-list actress would not only put Troy's life in jeopardy, but his heart as well?
