When I Make You Mine by Rae Daniel Blog Tour: Guest Post & Giveaway





When I Make You Mine Synopsis




Reeling from a recent break-up, Anne is surprised when she meets Jim, her handsome ER doctor. She’s been burned one too many times before, with the most recent relationship fail happening not even an hour before they meet! Catching her on-again-off-again now definitely-off-again boyfriend with her roommate, in her own living room, was definitely not how she planned on spending her Saturday. She definitely didn’t plan on spending it in the ER either! 


It’s not been Anne’s best day, to say the least! 

Jim’s been looking for ‘The One’ for what seems like forever. His work hours limit his dating life and any women who come into the ER are either drunk out of their minds or are on enough drugs to make rock stars jealous. Getting involved with a patient is the last thing that he wants or needs. 

Until Anne. 

Will Jim and Anne get their happy ever after or does Ben, her best guy friend, have intentions of his own? 

Sometimes, you have to close your eyes and listen to your heart in order to see the future.

Since I am so new to the world of publishing I wanted to give you all a glimpse into why I decided to start writing.

Over the last six months I have been running a very successful romance book review website called GetYourSmutOn.com (I kid you not, that’s the name). Through this blog I was able to review hundreds of the books that I read for some of the biggest and best authors out there. These authors ranged from those who have massive book deals to the independent authors. Of those, some were new authors while others are New York Times and USA Today best selling authors. I’m still reviewing so check it out!

Over the last four years I have been reading non-stop, reaching at my peak 400-500 books per year. Yes, some of those contain novellas as well as full books. Once my kids became bigger I was able to devote a bit more time to it and decided to start a blog. And boy am I ever glad that I did! I have gained some great understanding of the world of publishing as well as becoming friends with some wonderful bloggers, authors and voracious readers.

In reviewing books for authors I was repeatedly asked if I was writing. It only takes so much of these suggestions before you start to think, “Hmmm, maybe the suggestions are not all that far fetched.”

I put that thought on the back burner for a few months because lets face it, I’m just like everyone else. I’m slammed. I’ve got a day job, two kids and a hubby, not to mention volunteering, kids sports, and book reviewing.

What, you ask then, got me “on the horse”? Well unfortunately it was something that completely knocked me out. In October I had a very serious health scare with a side of hilarity and had many of my close friends say, “You should write a story about this.”

So I decided I would give it an initial try, just to see if I could do it. One week later, swollen hands from all of the typing, and several sleepless nights, I had a novella. Many asked why I didn’t just write a whole book but I mean seriously…a whole book? Are you kidding me? That is for the pros. I am barely dipping my big toe in the water here, I am not going to try and hit it out of the park (and more than likely fail) with a full fledged book right out of the gate. Baby steps, literally, for this girl.


The novella finally left the editing stage in mid-January and shortly after was self-published on Amazon available for purchase for $0.99. It’s also found on Prime, Kindle Unlimited and the Book Lending Library on Amazon as well.

Born in the midwest, Rae Daniel has been telling stories her entire life. After earning her degree in History from Old Dominion University, she found her niche in the professional world as an analyst. In her analytical roll, she found that compiling her research into “stories” for her upper management team, gave her the confidence to start to write all the other stories that were running around in her head.

Rae is also the founder of GetYourSmutOn.com, a romance book review website. Within the first six months of operation she was being asked to write reviews for independent, USA Today, and NY Times best selling romance authors from around the world.

When she is not writing, she is living a charming life in North Carolina with her husband and two kids. She enjoys spending time with her family, reading and drinking wine. (PS, not necessarily in that order) :)
