Blog Tour: Intoxicated by Monica Murphy. #giveaway




Welcome to the INTOXICATED Blog Tour! Be sure to check out Monica Murphy's playlist post below!!


About INTOXICATED:

New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy wraps up her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series with a wedding to remember. But this time, they’re not bachelors anymore, and the groom … is one of them.


It’s Gage and Marina’s wedding day, but wedded bliss seems a long way off: Ivy’s just gone into labor. Marina’s missing her matron of honor. And Bryn’s giving Matt the silent treatment.


It’s up to Archer, Gage, and Matt to make sure this day goes off without a hitch. But between brides and babies, there’s the not-so-little issue of the million-dollar bet to attend to. If only they can figure out who won … and who’s paying up. Is everyone a winner? Or will someone leave broke—and brokenhearted? 




 
 
 
Intoxicated Playlist
 
 
Okay, I’m lying. I didn’t have a playlist I listened to while writing INTOXICATED. I wrote the novella so fast, I didn’t have time to listen to music! But I did have playlists while I wrote the other three books in the series (CRAVE, TORN and SAVOR) so I’m going to pick a few songs from those playlists and share them here with you today. These songs, I think, are the best representation of the overall series. So let’s do this!
 
First up is the song Rude Boy by Rihanna. I love this song. And it fits every one of the men in this series but especially Archer. He’s a total rude boy. Here are my favorite lyrics from the song:
 
I like the way
You touch me there
I like the way
You pull my hair
Baby, if I don’t feel it
I ain’t faking
No, no
 
Heh heh.
 
Another song I love that is on the very, extremely short playlist for TORN (a book that I wrote so quickly I think I gave myself whiplash. My deadline schedule last summer was hectic, to say the least), is Pressed Against the Sky by Toadies. I love this song. I especially love these lines because they are swoon-worthy to me:
 
If this is a dream I’m happy you’re having it with me
I will stay and savor the way you move me
Don’t want to miss one detail, one sweet smile from your lips
One kiss sets me adrift
 
 
Swoony swoon swoon…
 
The song I believe epitomizes SAVOR and Matt & Bryn is Treasure by Bruno Mars (and really, all the men in the series believe their women to be complete treasures).
 
I know, I know this song was completely overplayed but there are a few lines that are exactly what was going on between Matt and Bryn in the beginning of the story. And here they are:
 
 
Give me your, give me your, give me your attention baby
I gotta tell you a little something about yourself
You’re wonderful, flawless, ooh, you’re a sexy lady
But you walk around here like you wanna be someone else
 


Those are my favorite songs from my various BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS CLUB series playlists. If you’d like to check out my Spotify profile, where I have a bunch of playlists saved, you can find it here:

EXCERPT:

 

Our lives are changing completely. It won’t just be me and Ivy anymore. We’ll have someone to take care of. Someone who solely depends on us.

 

“Oh, Archer,” Ivy says, pulling me from my thoughts.

 

Turning to face her, I see that her eyes are filling with tears and her face looks ready to crumple. I go to her, grabbing hold of her hands and giving them a squeeze. “What’s wrong, baby?”

 

“I feel bad.” A little sob escapes her as she shakes her head. I tug her in as close as I can, slinging my arm around her waist. “I’m going to ruin Gage’s wedding.”

 

“No you’re not. It’s going to be one of the most memorable weddings ever. No one will forget this day,” I say, smoothing my hand over her hair. I want her reassured, not worrying about wedding plans. Everything we know is going to change in mere hours.

 

“Exactly. It’s supposed to be Gage and Marina’s day and instead it’s going to turn into our day. Our child’s day. How selfish are we?”

 

“We’re not selfish. We can’t help it if you’re going into labor right now. It’s not like we did it on purpose.” I shed the rest of my clothes quickly, throwing on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. “Speaking of labor, we need to get going. Are you ready? Get some shoes on, babe.” I give her a gentle push out of my embrace and toward the closet door across our bedroom.

 

“We? Who’s the one who’s about to give birth?” Ivy mutters as she shuffles toward the closet. A little snort escapes her. “You won’t have anything to do with this labor stuff, Archer. This is all on me.”

 

“And I think you’re going to do an amazing job. You’re the strongest women I know,” I say.

 

At those words, my wife promptly bursts into tears.

The Billionaire Bachelors Club series:
 


Crave (Billionaire Bachelors Club #1): 

 
Billionaire Archer Bancroft always gets what he wants—and he’s wanted Ivy Emerson, his best friend’s sister, for far too long. Being forbidden and untouchable only makes her more tempting. When a million-dollar bet with his friends throws down a challenge—last bachelor standing takes all—Archer knows he can win. That is, until one enchanted evening with Ivy takes his heart for a ride.

Ivy knows Archer is nothing but bad news: Infuriating, arrogant…and completely intoxicating. But despite her best efforts, she can’t seem to keep away. When a stolen kiss leads to a night of heated passion, Ivy realizes she’s in trouble and in head over heels.

But in the light of day, everything seems clearer and Archer’s not so sure a one-night stand is all he wants. Concocting a plan to keep Ivy by his side, Archer might just be willing to lose this bet…and win the jackpot instead.

 
 
 
 
 
Torn (Billionaire Bachelors Club #2)
 
Marina Knight came to this party for one thing only: to slap Gage Emerson in the face. Poised to snatch up her family’s real estate empire, the sexy tycoon is on the verge of making an enemy for life—even if he can make her melt with a single kiss …

When Gage discovers that the alluring woman before him is the key to his latest acquisition, claiming her as his suddenly doesn’t seem quite so cut-and-dried. To get what he wants, he must get to know the fierce woman willing to face him down—as she steadily steals his heart.

Gage’s persistence and intense passion war with Marina’s determination to protect her family. As they delve deeper into an affair they didn’t see coming, Marina’s torn: Will she lose her heart to Gage—or everything she holds dear?
 
 
 
 
 
Savor (Billionaire Bachelors Club #3)
 
New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy concludes her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series with a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office…

Bryn James can’t take much more. Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything she wants in a man, but he’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye… professionalism be damned.
With his winery’s grand reopening approaching, Matt is trying to stay focused, but Bryn is suddenly making it very difficult. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny that her transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to himself.

But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be more than a no-strings office affair?

EXCERPT:


I’m going to have a baby,” Ivy declares as she stops directly in front of me. Well, her belly stopped directly in front of me, the rest of her soon follows.

 
Yes, indeed, my wife is definitely going to have a baby. Soon.


I’m getting ready—staring at the mirror as I mess with my tie, making sure it’s perfect—when she approaches me. I shoot her a grin, feeling good, feeling on top of my game. Life couldn’t get any better, you know? We’re celebrating today and with good reason.


“I know, sexy mama.” I turn away from the mirror and wink at her. “Trust me, I haven’t forgotten that I’m the one who knocked you up.”

 

She stares at me, no reaction to my wink or my words. She usually slaps my ass and kisses me. Says something sarcastic at the very least. But I’m getting nothing. And it’s kind of disconcerting. “Archer. I’m dead serious. I’m going to have the baby.”

 
“I know, babe. And I can’t freaking wait.” I study her, noticing that she looks a little pale and her pupils are dilated. Hmm. “You feeling okay?”

 

Rolling her eyes, she rests her hand on top of her protruding stomach, rubbing it absently. Then not so absently. As in, she’s clutching her belly like she’s in pain. “I’m in—” She sucks in a harsh breath, holding it for a few seconds. “—labor, damn it.”
