About On Solid Ground

Chance Crawford and Kit Gibbons are on the cusp of an epic office romance. After months of saying hi in the elevator and making small talk at parties, they’re both dying to make a move. Too bad neither of them can work up the courage. Nerdy, risk-averse Chance is waiting for Kit to give him a sign, whereas Kit’s too afraid of being out in his professional life to date the cutie from IT. If only one of them could find the proper motivation, their shaky flirtation could become something real.

Then an earthquake rocks their city. They band together to help others escape, until an aftershock leaves them trapped in a collapsing office building with little hope of survival. The very earthquake that brought them together could also tear them apart.

Drunk on fear and adrenaline, passions run high, but how can they think about romance when any minute could be their last? They’ll have to face danger, themselves, and each other before they can get back on solid ground.

Available now from Riptide Publishing!

4.5 Stars!

I don’t think I’ve read a Quinn Anderson book yet that I haven’t loved, and On Solid Ground was no exception.

I loved Kit and Chance, they were absolutely sweet together and although it’s slow going and I wasn’t quite sure they’d give into their attraction before I (and they) died of sexual frustration, they fit perfectly together and when they did finally give in, it was passionate and explosive.

I really loved the storyline, an earthquake plot is really unique, well, for me anyway, I don’t think I’ve read anything set to this type backdrop before and it was not only really interesting, but it also kept me sitting on the edge of my seat and biting my nails.

I can’t say enough how much I really loved this story. While the time period of the story is short, it felt much longer and the story flowed well. This was a great and enjoyable read that I’d definitely recommend!

5 Stars!!!

Chance and Kit have been crushing on each other for a long time, however, Kit isn't sure if he's ready to come out in his workplace even for Chance. When an earthquake hits San Francisco and they're left trapped in their office building, they will need to decide if they should give into their attraction and if they do and they survive, will anything really come out of it when they are back on solid ground?

This is only my second book by Quinn Anderson, but she's shaping up to be one of my favorite authors. Her books are fresh, original, well-written and filled with lovable characters. In this case, Chance and Kit were really nice, perhaps Chance a bit more than Kit, since there were moments in which I wanted to slap Kit a bit when he was wavering between wanting to come out or not. They had fantastic chemistry, I could practically see the sparks coming out from their interactions and they were a great team when helping each other through the very difficult situation they were in.

While this book covers 24 hours in Chance and Kit's lives, it never felt rushed, perhaps because of the earthquake and its aftermath. I think it was very believable, realistic and the author didn't go overboard or make it overly angsty, which was a very good thing.

Overall, this book gave a realistic portrayal of what could go on during an earthquake and it was dealt with in a sensitive manner, which with me living in a country where earthquakes are prone to happen, I could appreciate. It was a great read that I thoroughly recommend.

About Quinn Anderson

Quinn Anderson is an alumna of the University of Dublin in Ireland and has a master’s degree in psychology. She wrote her dissertation on sexuality in popular literature and continues to explore evolving themes in erotica in her professional life.

A nerd extraordinaire, she was raised on an unhealthy diet of video games, anime, pop culture, and comics from infancy. Her girlfriend swears her sense of humor is just one big Joss Whedon reference. She stays true to her nerd roots in writing and in life, and frequently draws inspiration from her many fandoms, which include Yuri on Ice, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Buffy, and more. Growing up, while most of her friends were fighting evil by moonlight, Anderson was kamehameha-ing her way through all the shounen anime she could get her hands on. You will often find her interacting with fellow fans online and offline via conventions and Tumblr, and she is happy to talk about anything from nerd life to writing tips. She has attended conventions on three separate continents and now considers herself a career geek. She advises anyone who attends pop culture events in the UK to watch out for Weeping Angels, as they are everywhere. If you’re at an event, and you see a 6’2” redhead wandering around with a vague look on her face, that’s probably her.

Her favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, Gail Carson Levine, Libba Bray, and Tamora Pierce. When she’s not writing, she enjoys traveling, cooking, spending too much time on the internet, playing fetch with her cat, screwing the rules, watching Markiplier play games she’s too scared to play herself, and catching ’em all.
