Kay Gordon | Author-Reader Match: TWO FOR HOLDING

facebooktwittergoodreadsbookbubamazon
Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the โ€œAuthor-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to presentย Kay Gordon! What I Write About: I love to write contemporary romance that involves strong relationships between not only my main characters but the supporting cast as well. I can always be counted on for taking my characters on a journey- some that hit you right feels- but that just makes their happily ever after even better! About Me: Author is an over-enthusiastic woman looking for someone who can appreciate a good mix of meet-cutes and slow burns, with independent heroines and heroes who arenโ€™t afraid to prove why theyโ€™re a good match. Author loves to write in awesome children, modeling after her own sweet kids (who sometimes make her want to pull her hair out!) What Iโ€™m looking for in my ideal reader match:

A reader who knows that sometimes the build-up makes the
relationship sweeter.

A reader who isnโ€™t afraid of the twists and turns that get us
to the HEA.

A reader that enjoys imperfect heroines who fall for
imperfect heroes.

A reader who loves strong supporting characters who arenโ€™t
afraid to tell the main characters when theyโ€™re being stupid.

A reader that prefers relationships with substance and a
strong foundation.

What to expect:

Lots of smart-aleck comments from all around.

Plenty of what-if moments.

Some gasps, maybe a tear or two, before grinning from ear-
to-ear.

TWO FOR HOLDING by Kay Gordon

425 Madison Avenue Book 4
Two For Holding
Savannah: I didnโ€™t think I was missing anything. I had my son, a great career, and a home that Iโ€™d made for both of us. One puck over the glass at a hockey game made me realize I wanted more. The larger-than-life hockey player inserted himself into our world and I never wanted to let him go.

The thing is, I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m strong enough to keep him.

Porter:
My home was on the ice, with a stick in my hand and a puck on my tape. It took one little boy
with a toothless smile and his spitfire mother to change all that. I wanted them to be my home
and I was willing to take all the penalties necessary to make it happen.

Now I just have to convince her that we can handle it all
together.

Melding three lives into one isnโ€™t as easy as it seems, especially with the traveling, the media,
and the insecurities. Savannah and Porter have to decide whether to use the breakaway to
head to the goal or take a seat on the bench.

After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love!

About Kay Gordon

Kay Gordon
Kay Gordon is a married, mother of two living near the west coast. She spends her days teaching young, impressionable minds in public school and evenings typing away furiously once her children are in bed. She loves to take her characters on a journey, making that happy ending even better!

Her favorite genre to read is Contemporary Romance but wonโ€™t hesitate to try anything with
promise. One of her favorite past times is to read the book and then go see the movie while
forcing her husband to listen to her point out all of the differences in real time. Sheโ€™s still not
over what Harry did to the Elder Wand in DH2.
When she's not teaching or writing, Kay loves to spend time with her family and friends,
although she doesnโ€™t ever so no to a good nap. Sheโ€™s an avid lover of hockey and can be seen
cheering for her beloved Nashville Predators- no matter how much they frustrate her.

Kay always welcomes feedback and comments (or even just a healthy argument about why Backstreet Boys are better than *Nsync) so please don't hesitate to reach out!

Re: Kay Gordon | Author-Reader Match: TWO FOR HOLDING

I love this premise and introduction, and the hockey doesn't
hurt!
I think we're a good match! Thanks.
(Kathleen Bylsma 5:20pm April 9, 2019)

In any story I look for strong supporting characters. They really make the story come alive. This looks like a fun addition to the 425 Madison collection.
(Mary Songer 5:53pm April 9, 2019)

We are a good match. Slow build-ups, plot twists, kids (they make for
interesting complications), misunderstandings, good secondary
characters, and main characters one can relate to. This is a new
series to me. This type of series, pulling in several different authors,
give the whole as well as the individual stories a richer texture.
(Patricia Barraclough 6:22pm April 9, 2019)

You have won me over!
(Candy Voisine 8:25pm April 9, 2019)

This story sounds fun & has a number of elements I enjoy!
(Jana B 11:01pm April 9, 2019)

Yes please i need this read
(Danielle McDonald 1:36pm April 10, 2019)

As someone who doesn't have kids by choice, I don't really
get into romance novels that involve kids. It just isn't my
thing! Sorry! Just being honest! But I still really
appreciate the chance to win!
(Angie Lilly 1:56pm April 10, 2019)

I'm a sports nut. Hockey, baseball, football etc...I love
them all. I would love to read this!
(Ellie Wright 1:57pm April 10, 2019)

I would love to read this, it sounds fun!
(Sally Scully 2:08pm April 10, 2019)

I really enjoy imperfect main characters. There's nothing
that can cast a pall over a great story than a Mary
Sue/Marty Stu.
(Deb Philippon 5:01pm April 10, 2019)

I do love a good romance with a few twists and turns that
keep me interested in reading! Your book sounds like my type
of book to read!
Thanks!
(Rebecca Booth 5:38pm April 10, 2019)

I am not a fan of hockey, but I am a fan of a man who can love someone else's child and his mom. This sounds like a special relationship.
(Anna Speed 9:43pm April 10, 2019)

Sounds like a wonderful read. I am a huge sports fan, and always love books that involve kids, and the relationship mishaps at times as they attempt to enter into a relationship.
(Margaret Yelton 3:33am April 11, 2019)

Imperfect is perfect for me. I enjoy a good read but I don't do movies often, particularly those I have read.
(Joanne Quarz 3:21pm April 11, 2019)

Thank you I love reading
(Jean Craven 5:42pm April 11, 2019)

I'm not a huge hockey fan, but thanks for the chance!
(Jaime Minter 7:38pm April 11, 2019)

I love hockey, romance and characters with substance. Please enter me.
And thank you for the chance to win.
(Patti Paonessa 9:31am April 12, 2019)

I have never gotten into the sport of hockey. I would love to read your book though.
(Monica Valencia 10:50am April 12, 2019)

I do enjoy reading sports romances, especially if a child is involved.
Can't wait to read this!
(Andrea Carroll 7:13pm April 13, 2019)

Sounds good to me!!
(Melanie Rosen 11:47pm April 13, 2019)

Yay!!! Thank you so much!! I can't wait to read it!!!
(Monica Valencia 7:04pm May 3, 2019)
