The Caper Crush Blog Tour
The Caper Crush blog tour just finished, and the reviews were very positive. From the UK to Belgium to the US, Caper Crush did quite a whirlwind tour 🙂
Here are some excerpts from the reviews. For the full review, click on the link for each blog. I was so impressed that Splashes into Books did another rhymed review! She is very talented. And my favorite line might be: “She’s feisty, acts first and reacts, He’s thoughtful and thinks before he acts.”
“This is a brilliant mix of opposites attract and romcom mystery, too
With great characters, clues and relationship dramas to entertain you. . .”
Splashes Into Books.“I love a slow burn romance and this definitely hits its mark. William is so reserved and I love how this fits in with Miranda . . . (I love those awkward moments in a romance but so much more in a slow burn) . . . This is definitely my kind of book, it’s so uplifting to read, funny, Miranda is just hilarious, I had tears of laughter so many times.”
Tara’s Bookish BlogSeveral tour bloggers have reviewed all three of my books, and I really appreciate their reviews. Tizi’s Book Review in Belgium is one who has reviewed all three books (and I’m also relieved that she liked yet another one of my books). Â
“This book is filled with so many emotions, there is anger, sweetness, love, laughter, frustration, determination and understanding. . .
The author for sure fulfilled my high expectations, and I found myself swept away in this mysterious yet lovely story, with not only amazing main characters, but also great side characters giving that little extra making this story even more amazing.”
Tizi’s Book Review“Everything just worked so well from the mystery that needed solving to the sweet romance that had a wonderful slow burn feel. Caper Crush had mystery, romance, but overall a charming and heartwarming vibe. It was lots of fun to read!”
Rae Reads Books“Overall I have loved this series and this book is no exception. This is a romantic comedy in the truest sense of the phrase that readers will adore.”
Lemon Nail Fiend“William and Miranda also just have so many layers as characters. I thought they were so well thought out and the reader learns more and more about them as the story goes on.”
Read it and Weep with MGD“I just love this series and cannot wait to jump back in and see who we follow next.”
Zooloo’s Book Diary Blog“A fun romance sprinkled with a generous dose of mystery.
…
A lovely story that will make you smile and want some abstract art.”
Berit Talks Books“I loved Miranda’s character. She was very in touch with her inner child which I can totally relate to, but also just her quirkiness and kindness.”
HTDK Blog“Caper Crush is a wonderful, feel-good, opposites-attract slow-burn romantic comedy , and it definitely had me giggling in quite a few places!! It was also very easy to read and I found myself turning the pages faster and faster just so that I could find out what was going to happen next.”
MRSLJGIBBS on Instagram“This is a sweet uplifting mystery romance where the chemistry between the characters is slow and cute.”

Author Interviews
I did an author interview with the Portobello Book Blog (find out what I did to celebrate publication day!) and Chicks, Rogues & Scandals (what a great name for a blog!) (discussing some of my favorite romantic comedies). The Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers Blog asked me what inspired Caper Crush. I discussed how I get to know my characters with Angel’s Guilty Pleasures. Thank you for all the wonderful questions!
Let’s Talk
I am so grateful to Rachel’s Random Resources for setting up the Caper Crush blog tour and to the bloggers for all the wonderful reviews and for hosting my book on their blogs with author questions and excerpts. Thank you so much!
What are you reading or watching? I’m about to dive into my #tbr and do some reading while at the beach.
Have a great August!

Caper Crush is on SALE!
Caper Crush, my opposites-attract romantic comedy e-book, is on sale for $0.99 for the first time!
And I’ve created a teaser video, working with the studio, Warraich Group. So much fun!
Here’s the blurb:
Somebody stole my painting! The one I need for the career-defining Vertex Art Exhibit.
I have mere weeks to find my painting or lose my artist dream forever—but it’s going to mean working with William.
William Haruki Matsumura. Good-looking, if you like the Secret Service type. You know, law-abiding, protector of women and children. That’s all fine, but I can never tell what he’s thinking. Which drives me crazy.
He insists on coming along to do “damage control.” As if “accidentally” wandering into certain areas is “breaking and entering.” I may be an emotional artist, but William shouldn’t dismiss my investigative skills yet.
William is definitely my opposite, and if there’s one takeaway from my parents’ divorce, it’s that opposites might attract, but it doesn’t last. But detecting with William is kind of fun—and fluttery. I definitely can’t trust these feelings, or can I? However this caper ends, I think this may be more than a crush.
Caper Crush Is ON SALE and Reaches #27 in Women’s Humorous Fiction! #Top30AmazonBestseller
Here’s a picture of it on the Amazon charts:
Let’s Talk
I really love Caper Crush, and so I’m super happy to see it selling so well now. I definitely think that some scenes were inspired by the k-dramas that I’ve become addicted to 🙂
Anyway, I highly recommend it. And although I may be biased (just a little), it also won an Independent Press Award for Distinguished Favorite in Romantic Comedy. And you can see my previous post here for other reviews.

My Own E-Bookstore!!
I’m excited to announce that I have my very own e-bookstore and you can now buy my e-books directly from me! You can also buy each book directly from me by clicking on the image above if you’re someone who wants to support authors directly.
I’ve set up various book bundles of my series, so there is a New York Friendship Bundle, a New York Spark Starter Set and the Ultimate Book Bundle (all of my books to date). You can also buy paperbacks and my audiobooks.
The Ultimate Bundle
New York Friendship Series Bundle
Three interconnected, feel-good, standalone, closed-door romantic comedies set in New York City in one box set!
This set includes:
Partner Pursuit: Audrey is a workaholic lawyer who is determined to become a law firm partner. Jake is a fun-loving music marketing executive who would never date a lawyer. When Jake moves in next door, and sparks fly, will Audrey choose love or career?
Is This for Real?: Take one relationship recluse writing a novel with a fake-dating trope. Add in one yummy romantic guy shanghaied for her romcom research. Layer in a history of genuine friendship on top of her recent heartbreak. Is this a recipe for true love or disaster?
Caper Crush: She’s an emotional artist. He’s a reserved accountant. When they team up to solve who stole her painting, will they find love?
Here are some reviews and don’t forget to check out these review from the last blog tour:
“Overall, I have loved this series.”
Lemon Nail Fiend Book Blog“[Partner Pursuit] is an old-school romcom! If this book was a movie, JLo or Reese Witherspoon would play the female lead, with Matthew McConaughey as the love interest.”
– StephanieNew York Spark Starter Set
My Book Boyfriend and Love Is an Art – the first two closed-door, happy-ever-after, standalone, interconnected books in the New York Spark series!
My Book Boyfriend: Lily loves her garden. Rupert wants to bulldoze it. When feelings grow, will they blossom or turn to rubble?
Love Is an Art: A Fish Out of Water Romantic Comedy
Tessa: He hates lawyers. So I’m a lawyer pretending to be an artist. Forgetting one tiny detail: I can’t paint. Zeke: She’s the worst artist I’ve ever seen.
“Kathy Strobos has proved to me again why she’s one of my go to authors, for HEA, for feeling happy and warm and making the world feel a better place.”
– Tara from TheWoollyGeek InstagramAnd don’t forget my own e-bookstore has audiobooks and paperbacks too!
I also have the A Scavenger Hunt for Hearts audiobook on my website 🙂
