SUMMARY
Hollie Porter is the chairwoman of Generation Disillusioned: at twenty-five years old, she’s saddled with a job she hates, a boyfriend who’s all wrong for her, and a vexing inability to say no. She’s already near her breaking point, so when one caller too many kicks the bucket during Hollie’s 911 shift, she cashes in the Sweethearts’ Spa & Stay gift certificate from her dad and heads to Revelation Cove, British Columbia. One caveat: she’s going solo. Any sweethearts will have to be found on site.Hollie hopes to find her beloved otters in the wilds of the Great White North, but instead she’s providing comic relief for staff and guests alike. Even Concierge Ryan, a former NHL star with bad knees and broken dreams, can’t stop her from stumbling from one (mis)adventure to another. Just when Hollie starts to think that a change of venue doesn’t mean a change in circumstances, the island works its charm and she starts to think she might have found the rejuvenation she so desperately desires. But then an uninvited guest crashes the party, forcing her to step out of the discomfort zone where she dwells and save the day … and maybe even herself in the process.

Interview
Can you tell us about your book, Must Love Otters, in 15 words or less?
A silly, feel-good story about a girl who goes looking for otters and finds her heart instead.
(Crap, that’s 18 words. I lose.)
Is this a standalone or a series?
We wrote it as a standlone. But we have talked about what happens next with Hollie and Ryan …
What made you want to write adult contemporary romance?
We wanted to write something funny with grown-ups in it so we could let loose a little. Writing Otters was really freeing -- we had no limits about how wacky things could get. And who doesn’t love a good romance?
Did anything specific inspire you to write Must Love Otters?
I’ve spent the last few years working on a very serious YA book with heavy themes and sadness and dark stuff. I needed something light and fluffy that would make people laugh. Mr. Gordon and I spend a lot of time trying to crack each other up, so it was a natural progression to try to make other people giggle too.
That cover is adorable! Who designed it?
Sarah Hansen of Okay Creations. She’s quite talented, as you can see.
What was your favorite scene to write?
That’s tough -- probably the last one. I’m a sucker for a happy ending.
What are you currently working on?
Our next book, of course! I’m superstitious, though. I won’t talk about a project until the first draft is close to completion. Not great for marketing, but my neuroses overrule me.
