Kind of.
When I offered to host a stop during Jaycee's tour, she mentioned something about vlogging. Of course, I was all over that idea. What's more personal than a video featuring the author herself?
So, my gracious NA sister decided to take some time out of her busy schedule to sit down with us. Without further ado, I present to you... Jaycee DeLorenzo!

SYNOPSIS
Spunky Italian coed Ivy Rossini likes to talk and push the boundaries. She gets to do both as she co-hosts Riordan College’s radio program, The Truths about Dating and Mating, alongside her lifelong best friend, Ian Hollister.
Being the only girl who cares to see beyond Ian’s bad boy reputation has its advantages, especially when he’s scaring off the jerks who just want to nail the campus sex-guru. It’s when he’s “protecting” her from the advances she welcomes that she wants to lob him over the head and tell him to butt out. But Ivy’s feels like she’s the one who’s taken a hit when Ian almost kisses her at a party. She knows she should feel relieved when he pulls away, so why is she disappointed instead?
What’s worse, Ivy’s now getting aroused by Ian’s slightest touch and can’t stop entertaining thoughts of a romantic future. But Ian doesn’t do relationships, and she’s not interested in anything casual. In the end, Ivy decides it’s best to keep her growing feelings a secret and hope they’ll pass. However, when Ian begins hinting at wanting to take things to the next level, she’s forced to decide if a chance at something more is worth risking everything they’ve built.
With their friendship and her heart hanging in the balance, can Ivy follow the advice she and Ian give their listeners - to communicate, be honest, and trust in themselves - or will insecurity, stubbornness, and pride ruin any chance of their relationship getting off the ground?

Hearing that blurb read out loud makes me even more excited!!
Oh I have a 17-year-old voracious reader who would love this!
Writing what you want to read - that's why I write what I write as well.
And good luck with your collapsed book shelf!
Congrats on being an auntie, Carrie! No, I have never done a Vlog. Great piece by Jaycee, very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your book, and your thoughts on NA as a whole. Best of luck with your launch!
I really liked this because it answers some questions I had about the NA category. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Jaycee and good luck with your new book and blogtour...and your bookcase, LOL!
Yay, it's going to be out so sooooon! Can't wait!
Great vlog! Can't wait to read Jaycee's book! :D
I loved this! NA is really taking off... that's really cool... Jaycee is awesome. So excited for you both! <3
That was awesome, Jaycee. Good luck with your book. It sounds so fun!
Sweet! I've been toying with the idea of starting a vlog, but if you thought my blog posts were scary ...
Congrats to Jaycee! Sell many a'copies! :)
How cool is that? I'm not sure I could do one myself.
I'm not brave enough to vlog. Besides, someone we both know had a bad experience after vlogging so it's not worth it to me. And I'd be too worried about how I look on video.
I'm not brave enough to vlog either, Nancy. I think Jaycee did a great job, though. And I love her bookshelf! LOL
Congrats on your new release, Jaycee! :D
PS - I'd love the gift card or a copy of the book!
Thanks, Jeff! :)
Heck yes! I'm excited, too. :) Thanks, Morgan!
Ah, yes. I remember that... :/ Same here!
What a super idea, Jaycee and Carrie. Your book sounds great, Jaycee. Your poor bookshelf. As for vlogging, way to go. You're my hero. And your book's on my list.
This is AWESOME! I love that Jaycee did a vlog. So fun to hear from her like that! So excited about her book too. YAY JAYCEE!!!
And... I haven't vlogged yet, but one day, I WILL! :D
OH! And I would really love the signed print copies! :D
This book sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing, ladies. Best of luck in the debut!!!
Great vlog post. Congrats to Jaycee on her books! I'd like to try a vlog one day. But I'm afraid I'd need some liquid courage, and then it would just be a mess. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the title! Congrats to Jaycee. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Great way to do a promo. Very interesting and engaging. Here's to good luck with your new book.
Squee! Glad to hear it, Kyra!
That would be nice, but I do warn that there is mature content in the book.
Thanks, Alex. It's getting ready to be fixed tomorrow.
Thanks, JeffO!
I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much!
Yay! I hope you like the rest of it. :D
Thanks, Cherie! It was fun to do!
Aww, thanks Morgan! :D

Thanks, Michael! It wasn't so bad, but I was shaking a bit at first. :D
You, too, Talli! Thanks so much!
Thanks cleemckenzie! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great Vlog and I am strangely drawn to that synopsis even though I don't normally go for romance. You NA ladies are really converting me! Congrats on the new addition to your family! Yay!
Thanks, Lisa! :) I'm delighted to hear that!
