I met Samantha Fontien at the beginning of my journey as an author. She welcomed me and offered help right off the bat. I think that there was a sense of understanding that brought us together. She would send me a snippet every now and again for her book and I was intrigued and anxiously waiting for the release.
Miles Apart Books was lucky enough to be a part of her tour when she released. I received her ARC and read it in a matter of hours. She waited on pins and needles for my review. I had it completed and ready WAY ahead of schedule. I gladly sent her the review ahead of time and let her see what I thought of it.
My review for How to Catch Butterflies by Samantha Fontien
A sistership forged between us as the time passed and I was lucky enough to be able to walk along side of her as she released her first book. As she sales started going up and her joys (and even some of the lows) started pouring in, I was lucky enough to experience it with her. Today I am closing out her Blitz tour with a VERY special and only her video for How to Catch Butterflies.
*Special Note for Sam* In all my years, I have crossed paths with many people; both good and bad. Never have I crossed someone that was so geniune, caring and talented as you. I am truly honored to have you a part of my life. Your book is nothing short of amazing and book 2 will be even better. You deserve all the success coming to you. Thank you for sharing yourself and your book. Hugs!
Excerpts:
“Morning ladies,” he smiled as he leaned down kissing Rebecca then taking a seat on the other lounger. Rebecca sat in the middle like a sandwich. Lucy could only look at Rebecca, her hand fanning her face as she mouthed ‘wow’.
“Yep, Hunky Harvey is 'hot' like the sun” she whispered to Rebecca out of the corner of her mouth.
As Rebecca shhh’d her, he stood up and walked to the pool.
“You coming in,” he asked looking directly at Rebecca with one of his smoldering smiles and he dove into the pool.
While he was submersed under the water all Lucy could say was,
“Sweet tap dancing babies! Oh My God Rebecca he is f**king hot!” as Jackson arose out of the water as if he were in an aftershave commercial.
“I’m going back to the villa to wake Chris up and get me some. If I was you, I’d get the hell in that pool right now with him and while you’re at it, get yourself some too. God, what I wouldn't do to that man.” Lucy stood up. “I’ll see you two up at the house for breakfast at ten yes?” and she was gone.

Rebecca was walking out across the lobby of yet another Hotel. Her evening meeting had gone on way longer than she expected. She had just stepped out from the revolving doors when she saw him there, standing against one of the huge grey limestone pillars.
She tried to pretend that she didn't see him as she stared blankly making her way in the direction of the tube.
”Don’t pretend you don't see me Rebecca” he said walking parallel to her,
“Why Jackson Harvey, what are you doing here?” she teased,
“What’s so important that you’re here? ….Do you have any news for me?”
She had stopped now and was looking directly at him,
“Well actually I do have news, and seeing that’s it’s so late, I was wondering if you would like dinner?”
He was looking at her with his charming smile and was surprised at her answer he raised an eyebrow
“Actually Jackson I can’t, I have plans already” the confidence oozing from her.
He was taken aback, dinner normally worked
“Well let me drive you to wherever you’re going and we can talk on the way?”
She stood there looking at the well-dressed thirty-four year old attractive man before her, Lucy was right he was yum on a stick, but he had a reputation for being a bit of a man-whore....

About the Author, Samantha Fontien:
I’m a happily married mum of 2. I’m a West London girl, and I’ve just recently moved back from London to Ireland, where I now live in the countryside. I’ve always written, mainly short stories, but ‘How to catch Butterflies’ is my first book. I’ve had a passion for writing since a very young age. I find a story in every situation, and like real life there isn't always a Happily Ever After. There’s lots of me in my writing, I tend to write about my own life experiences or something based on a situation. My parents were both musicians, I’m a classically trained guitarist myself (at their insistence, and not my choice of instrument, I wanted to play the drums), so I have a real burning passion for music. I have quite an ecliptic taste; I pretty much love everything, especially live music/gigs. I have two dogs, one cat and three goldfish and love shoes, I really do love shoes. data-blogger-escaped-font="" data-blogger-escaped-nbsp="">a Rafflecopter giveaway
