Ann Marie Walker | Author-Reader Match: LUCKY LEAP DAY

facebooktwittergoodreadsbookbubamazonpinterestInstagramblog

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Ann Marie Walker! 

Writes:

I’m the author of 9 novels, ranging from romantic suspense to romantic comedy. My latest release is LUCKY LEAP DAY a rom-com about a woman who gets caught up in the Irish tradition of women proposing to men on Leap Day and ends up bringing home a husband instead of a wool sweater and a set of souvenir pint glass.

About:

I’m a fan of fancy cocktails, anything chocolate, and '80s rom-coms, and my superpower is connecting any situation to an episode of Friends. You can find me on Facebook or Instagram and at AnnMarieWalker.com, where I would be happy to talk to you about alpha males, lemon drop martinis, or Chewbacca, the Morkie who is kind enough to let me sit on his couch. I attended the University of Notre Dame and currently live in Chicago.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

My ideal reader

* loves to laugh

* is a sucker for a guy with a hot accent and great hair

* loves dogs, especially ones who are matchmakers

* is ready for a multi-continent adventure

What to expect if we're compatible:

Should we “match” I promise to leave you smiling at the end of our book “date.”

LUCKY LEAP DAY by Ann Marie Walker

Lucky Leap Day

Up-and-coming screenwriter Cara Kennedy has the biggest meeting of her career in two days--but for now, she's on vacation. Her short trip to Ireland is all planned out:
1. See the sites around Dublin
2. Don't think about her jerk of an ex she was supposed to spend this trip with
3. Relax with some Irish whiskey
4. Propose to a sexy Irish musician on Leap Day
5. Wake up married

Wait, those last two things weren't on her list. . . 

A whirlwind trip to Ireland is supposed to end with a suitcase full of wool sweaters and souvenir pint glasses--not a husband you only just met!

After one-too-many whiskeys, fledgling screenwriter Cara Kennedy takes a page out of someone else's script when she gets caught up in the Irish tradition of women proposing on Leap Day. She wakes the next morning with a hot guy in her bed and a tin foil ring on her finger. Her flight is in four hours, and she has the most important meeting of her career in exactly two days--nothing she can do except take her new husband (and his adorable dog) back to LA with her and try to untangle the mess she's made of her life. . .
