Imy Santiago is
currently on tour with her latest release, Chasing Reese. She stops by today to share it with you all.
Synopsis
Everything
in life is not permanent but it was perfect. Catalina Pardo had a career in
journalism most people could only dream of, a hot, sexy fiancé to call her own
and a brilliant future ahead of her. When tragedy struck, the life she once
knew fell apart. Four years later, traumatized by the events that ultimately
changed her existence, Catalina sets herself on a punishing work schedule,
preventing herself from facing the demons of her grief-stricken past.
Emotionally shut down, she’s alive but not living because everyone she ever
loved leaves her. Fate intervenes in Catalina’s life in the form of a last
minute assignment to a snowy mountain lodge in Whistler, B.C. Sent there to
cover the life of the infamous Jackson Reese; an Olympic Snowboarding Champion,
she is faced with many challenges bringing to surface the raw emotions of her
past. Compelled to work alongside Stryder Martynus, an award winning
photographer brought in to document the Reese press tour, tensions and denial
run high forcing Catalina to accept the past and face the present with zero
regrets.

Excerpt
I grab
Catalina by her shoulders and push her against the door of our shared suite, my
arms pinning her in place. My heart is racing a mile a minute with my sudden
display of aggression. Catalina gasps loudly when I bring my mouth to the soft,
silken skin of her neck. I kiss her gently, feeling her pulse throbbing against
my lips.
“Don’t make
fun of me, Pardo. It’s not nice,” I whisper, my nose trailing up this
delectable territory of hers. I inhale her delicious scent without shame or
regard. “God, you smell like candy.”
Gently
removing my lips from her delicate skin I raise my head, my eyes beseeching
hers. Removing one hand from the wall, I allow it to caress the skin of her
jaw, my thumb tracing circles on the low of her cheek.
Catalina’s
shuddered breaths fuel me further. I move in closer and feel the rising and
falling of her chest with each breath she takes. Ripples of desire roll through
me, my cock twitching in my pants. She looks at me, drunk with lust, and that
gives me all the reassurance I need. I would never pull this stunt on just any
woman because it’s the quickest way to get kicked in the balls. But my need for
Catalina goes beyond all reason.
Inching
closer, my nose collides with hers. Her whole body tenses, and a low moan
escapes from her throat. When Catalina closes her eyes, I let out a long-drawn
breath.
“You’re
unraveling me, Catalina.”
Catalina
nods and lets out a sigh, her breath caressing my lips. She replies softly,
“And you’re breaking me.” ©2014 Imy Santiago – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Praise
for the Book
"Ever
read a book that you did not want to stop reading? One that, you wanted to
finish because you needed to know what happens but wanted to slow down and
savor because you didn't want it to end? Chasing Reese was that story for me.
Imy Santiago's debut book touched me deeply. The author has such a way with
words, I actually couldn't believe it was her debut book." -Danita
Morales, Nerdy Chic
"I'm
speechless. I have no words to describe the awesomeness that is this book! The
characters will become your friends and together you get to learn their
weaknesses and their strengths. Together they are the 3 amigos but what happens
at the end will leave you wanting the next book. I need to read this book again
i miss them already." -Caryn Watson, Watz Books and
Teasers
"OMG, I
loved this story. When I started reading it, it starts with an emotional scene
that had me little teary eyed. I started the story going OMG and I ended it
going OMG. I can't wait to read the next one: finding Reese." -Amazeball
Book Addicts
"WOW!!
I had no idea what to expect from this book. Holy hell debut novel!!! Imy blew
me away! The emotions, the characters...damn I just loved it!! So many feels at
the beginning of the book...I was smiling & in tears. Shattered hearts
trying to piece themselves back together. Stryder...Jackson....Cat...loved them
all. What a wonderful story and damn if Imy doesn't leave you hanging wanting
more!!! Can't wait to read more from this awesome author!" -Hooks
& Books
"I was
a very lucky woman to receive this book as an ARC before date of release. I
shake my head in amazement. This is a debut novel? No way! The writing is
descriptive and articulate. The sex scenes sizzle off the pages and almost
fried my Kindle. Remember this author's name. We shall be hearing a lot more
about her! A star is born." -Terri Lyndie, Amazon Best Selling
Author of Unmasking The Knight
"chasing
Reese. is heart wrenching, humorous, touching and emotional with great
dialogue. Ms. Santiago has managed to create likeable, strong characters that
all have flaws as humans do and is written from mulitple POVs. If it doesn’t
happen straight away Imy Santiago, this book will eventually float to the top.
Well done Ms. Santiago what a DEBUT. Almost everything was on point, so I know
there is much more to come from you. After reading the special excerpt for the
sequel can’t wait for ‘finding Reese." -K.L. Shandwick, author
of Gibson's Legacy

Meet Imy Santiago
I love to
read stories about loss, heartache and redemption so it didn't shock me when I
ended up writing stories of my own revolving around those themes. I write with
my heart, using my life experiences and emotions to dictate the tone and path
in which my fictional characters embark. I believe in the power of friendship
and to always have hope because life is always full of pleasant surprises. If
you were to ask me if I consider myself an author, I would tell you no, I am
not. I'm just a girl who loves to write a good story that makes you consider
life choices and the darkness that envelopes a broken heart. My stories are
about loss, friendship, hope and love.
I hope to
continue writing more books in the not so distant future. It could be said that
writing keeps me sane and brings a smile to my face. When I’m not writing Adult
Contemporary Romance novels, I’m enjoying a quiet life with my family on Long
Island New York.
