Book Review: The Swap by Annabella Michaels



Blurb: 

When their daughter goes off to college, Samuel and his wife Gayle begin to take stock of their lives. Realizing they’re best friends and not in love with one another, the two agree to an amicable split. Nervous about jumping back into the dating world, they accept a friend’s invitation to attend a swap party.

Tossing their keys into a bowl and leaving it up to fate to decide who they’re paired with is too tempting to resist. But when Samuel is faced with an audacious young man who strikes up a conversation, the attraction to men he’s kept buried for so long comes rushing back.

At twenty-two years old, Oliver Hughes is one of the most sought after male models in the world. Sassy and bold, with a penchant for wearing high heels and a touch of makeup, Oliver’s life is what he always dreamed it could be. Except for one thing…

Yearning to fall in love and settle down, Oliver’s grown bored of meaningless hookups with shallow, fame seeking guys. While attending a swap party, his last-ditch effort to find someone who doesn’t know who he is when they meet, Oliver finds himself drawn to a handsome, older man. One who’s endearingly unaware of his own appeal.

As their relationship grows, something sinister and dark threatens what they’ve managed to build. What will it take for Oliver and Samuel to survive, and is their happily ever after doomed from the start?

In the Spotlight with Bayou Book Junkie ~ Author Annabella Michaels

In the Spotlight with Bayou Book Junkie ~ Author Annabella Michaels


Note: This interview was conducted in November 2016, so some questions will reflect that. 

Hi Annabella Michaels and welcome to Bayou Book Junkie. Annabella has been writing since 2016, publishing her first book in her Souls of Chicago series, Feeding The Soul, in June 2016, her second, Music Of The Soul, in September 2016 and her upcoming release, Protecting the Soul, which will go live next week on January 17!

Annabella is married to her high school sweetheart, is a mum to two kids and loves movies, cooking, the beach and socialising with friends and family. Well, that’s the stuff that my nosing came up with, but now, without further ado, here’s Annabella herself to tell all. 😊

BBJ: Hi Annabella. Please tell us and readers all about yourself, what life in the Michaels household is like and which part of the vast US you call home.
Annabella: Hi! Thank you for having me. I live in the same small town outside of Cincinnati, Ohio where I was born and raised. My husband and I have been happily married for 22 years and we have a daughter and a son who are each in college, but living at home. My house is kind of a zoo with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. Come to think of it, it’s more like Noah’s Ark than a zoo. LOL

BBJ: Americans have such amazing desserts, but I barely qualify as a passable cook (actually, not sure if my hubs and son would agree 😬). Please, could I have a fail-free fave recipe of yours to try out?
Annabella: My husband is the baker in our house, but a simple recipe that even I can’t mess up is Dump Cake.
Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray. Pour 1 can of pie filling of your choice (my favorite is cherry) into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle one box of yellow cake mix evenly over pie filling. Melt one stick of butter and pour over cake mix. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Delicious!
