This week’s new romance release interview is with Jay Hogan:

Jay Hogan

1. What’s the name of your latest book – and how hard was it to pick a title?

The book is called First Impressions and funnily enough the title came to me as I began writing. Until then I had simply labelled it ‘MM on the go’ and then half way through the third chapter it sailed into my thinking. After all, the story is about dismissing possibilities based on first impressions and past history. Something we all do. Having a fixed idea of what we are looking for and struggling to accept anything different as having a chance.

2. If you could choose anyone from any time period, who would you cast as the leads in your latest book?

Matt Bomer for Michael and Jason Lewis for Josh

3. What five words best describe your story?

Enemies to lovers, forgiveness, hope, crime ( 6, I know).

4. Who is your favourite fictional couple or team?

Sam and Ryan in The Lightning Struck Heart by TJ Klune, and Sam’s band of misfits.

5. What song always makes you cry? 

Rise Again by The Rankin Family (Canadian)  about losing someone  and seeing the lost person in the faces of their children.

About First Impressions

Michael:
Two years ago I made a mistake, a big one, and then I threw in another couple just for good measure. I screwed up my life big time but I made it through. I was lucky.

Then I was given the opportunity for a fresh start. Two years in Auckland, NZ, ‘The City of Sails’. Away from the LA gossip, a chance to breathe, to get my life back together. I grabbed it and packed my new set of golden rules with me.

I don’t do relationships.
I don’t do commitment.
I don’t do white picket fences.
And I especially don’t do arrogant, holier-than-thou, smoking hot K9 officers who walk into my ER and rock my world.

Josh:
The only thing I know for certain about Dr. Michael Oliver is the guy is an arrogant, untrustworthy player, and I’d barely survived the last one of those in my life.  Once was more than enough.

The man might be gorgeous but my eleven-year-old daughter takes number one priority and I won’t risk her being hurt again. I’m a solo dad, a K9 cop and a son to pain in the ass, bigoted parents.

I don’t have time for games.
I don’t have time for taking chances.
I don’t have time for more complications in my life.
And I sure as hell don’t have time for the infuriating Dr. Michael Oliver, however damn sexy he is.
