BLOG TOUR: Musical Games by Evie Alexander

Today we're featuring the amazing author behind my recent read, Musical Games. Evie Alexander answered a few questions to give us insight being this amazing installment in the Kinloch series.

What was the inspiration for this novel?
I’d already planned out in my head how Zoe’s best friend, Sam, gets together with super shy Jamie. Their story is happening in the background of Hollywood Games, but of course we don’t really know what is going until Musical Games! I wanted to write a couple who were complete opposites as well as a classic grumpy/sunshine combination. Sam is older than Jamie, a famous actress, and someone who has a fair amount of life and sexual experience. Jamie, on the other hand, has never left Scotland, still lives with his mum, and has never kissed a girl before. I loved exploring the dynamic between two very different people, and how they could find common ground and fall in love.

What is your favourite moment in the whole story, without giving spoilers?
I have so many favourite moments in Musical Games, but I think my favourite ‘funny’ moment is when Sam speaks to Jamie’s boss to get him off work, and my favourite swoony moment is when Jamie cooks for Sam and she starts to see him in a whole new light…

What’s next for Kinloch?

Coming up next is Wedding Games. This is a novella following Rory and Zoe’s wedding. It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever written and gives you the chance to spend more time in Kinloch with every character you’ve come to love through the series. There’s plenty of drama and hijinks, including a hen (bachelorette) party that goes horribly wrong…

What are you currently working on?

I’m working on a novel called Love ad Lib. It’s the first in a new romantic comedy series set in Somerset around where I live. I’ve provisionally planned eight books for the series including stories I’ve wanted to write for years.

What are you reading just now?

‘Just Friends at Thistle Lodge’ by Margaret Amatt

If you could be a character in any book you have read, who would it be and why?

I’d be Valentina from Kissing Games, because Charlie is just the funniest, nicest guy in the world, is extremely hot, and also plays the piano…

ABOUT THE BOOK

Bubbly actress Sam is on the brink of the bigtime. All she needs is one lucky break. But when she drops everything for the chance to meet Hollywood’s biggest star, she blows it by blurting out a lie. Now, she’s got ten days to write an album with a man who wants nothing to do with her.

Jamie’s a shy electrician from the Scottish Highlands and life is just the way he wants it: uneventful, predictable, private. He may have the voice of an angel and the body of a god, but he’s never been kissed and fame is the last thing on his mind. When beautiful and vivacious Sam gatecrashes his life, she turns his world upside down.

As their songs come together, so do they. But chasing the limelight has never been part of Jamie’s plan, and he won’t be a means to an end. Can Sam get her dream back on track, or has she had her eye on the wrong prize all along?

Musical Games is a steamy, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, laugh-out-loud, Scottish small town, dual POV romantic comedy featuring an extremely hot virgin hero, and a lovable heroine with a runaway mouth and a huge heart. There’s no cheating, no cliff-hanger, and Musical Games has a guaranteed happy ever after (HEA).
