In my book,
OPERATION PROM
DATE, Kate is a huge fangirl and often talks about all the fictional couples
she ships (the couples who she really, REALLY wants to be in a relationship, in
case youโre new to the term shipping. It baffles my husband when my daughter and
I start having conversations about our fandoms). Kate and I have that in common.
Whether itโs Olicity on
Arrow, Stydia on
Teen Wolf, or Captain Swan on
Once Upon a Time,
Kate gets rather involved with whatโs going on with her favorite couples. (Iโve
also been known to scream โKISS ALREADYโ at my TV shows and books. You know,
like a calm, normal person. LOL)
Cooper, the guy whoโs made a deal to help Kate land her crush in time for prom
(AKA โOperation Prom Dateโ) doesnโt know what half of her fangirl jargon means,
but he loves how passionate she is about it. He loves having her as his
temporary rowing partner as part of their deal, too, because it means lots of
time with just him and Kate in his rowboat on the lake. What he doesnโt love is
how jealous he is when all of his help starts working a little too well. And the
deeper they get into the mission, the more Kateโs starting to wonder if sheโs
set her sights on the wrong target.
After I turn in a book, youโll find me binge watching the newest seasons of
the Originals,
Arrow,
Teen Wolf,
the 100, and my very
favorite to re-watch when I need some cheering up,
New Girl. (I could go
on and on) Then there are the countless book series I read as quickly as
possible, hoping and encouraging the right people to finally get together. Iโve
only switched teams a few times in my life, once during book two of the Hunger
Games Series,
CATCHING
FIRE (I mean how could you not love Peeta by then? Itโs not possible). And
to be honest, sometimes I find myself falling a little hard for the heroes
myself. For example, I kind of ship myself and Captain Hook from
Once Upon a Time, the
one show where guyliner + Irish accent + hook = BE MINE NOW! Even my daughters
argue that they should be with Hook, because after all, Iโm already married.
(Love you, honey!) For the record, my awesome husband, who is perfectly fine
with all my fictional boyfriends is the guy I crush on the hardest. <3
So who else loves fangirling over TV & book series? Which ones are you
obsessed with, and what couples are you dying to get together & STAY TOGETHER?
(Seriously, writers. I know you & I share a career, but donโt mess with my
couples. LOL)
Kate ships tons of fictional couples, but IRL her OTP is her and Mick, the
hot quarterback sheโs crushed on since, like, forever. With only one semester
left of senior year, itโs now or never if she wants to land him in time for
prom. Since sheโs flirtationally challenged, she enlists Cooper Callihan, the
guy who turned popular seemingly overnight but who used to be a good friend.
Cooper lives and breathes rowing, but his partner just broke his wrist. When
he remembers Kateโs good with a set of oars, he strikes a deal: help him train,
and heโll make sure her crush notices her. Only he didnโt know how addicting
spending time with her would be. Or how the more successful the Operation is,
the more jealousy he experiences.
The mission has been set. The troops have their marching orders. But what if
the target is the wrong guy all along?

Cindi Madsen sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising,
and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person.
Without it, sheโd be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always
find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if theyโre sparkly, colorful,
or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long.
She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with
her husband and three children.
