Today is
the release day for Unwrapped Hearts, an Unbreak My Heart story, so I thought
I'd expound a little on one of my favorite men, Mr. Brett Taylor.
I can't
speak for all writers, but sometimes I think characters pop up into our heads
and hearts and demand more attention than others. They're the characters that
don't leave us even after a few a stories. They might go dormant for a little
while, but they always reappear with demands, and they won't accept being used
as secondary characters in someone else's
book.
Brett
Taylor is one of those characters for me. He's bossy and mouthy, but can also
be sweet as pie and heart-wrenching as hell. I love all my characters &
Brett's partner, JT Campbell is no exception, yet Brett stands out in my mind
as both an emotional disaster and a true accomplishment.
When I
wrote Unbreak My Heart, Brett took me on an impassioned ride. There
were times I had to put him away, so to speak, because all the emotions I was
putting into him were coming straight from me, and were destroying me at the
same time. I went through the gamut of feelings, and it was all worth the pain
because once the book was published, I discovered readers went through some of
the same emotions that I did. I think that's the ultimate compliment for any
author.
This is
the third story in the Unbreak My Heart universe and it was
the easiest to write. Brett was in a good mood when he kept kicking up a ruckus
in my head. And since Unwrapped Hearts is a Christmas
story, I'm glad it turned out as sweet as it did. We all deserve a little calm
in the sea of drama and angst, and Brett & JT are no exception. I hope you
enjoy it.

Brett
Taylor and JT Campbell have been together for over a year, and Brett is like a
little kid when it comes to Christmas morning. He has plans for the two of them
to have some quiet time, open gifts, and maybe even share some sweet loving
before relatives descend on them for dinner.
Brett
has on his Santa hat and his sexy surfer-boy lover right where he wants him,
until a certain whirlwind of a pup takes matters into his own hands. Whiz isn’t
about to be left out of the Christmas celebration, and he’ll do whatever it
takes to demand his daddies’ attention...
Author Bio
K-lee
Klein has lived in one part of Western Canada or another for her entire life.
She’s a doting mother of three now-grown kids, and has had characters and plots
running around her head for as long as she can remember. Her days consist of
planning her next tattoo design for her growing collection, and fighting off an
abundance of fabulous gay men, large and small, bouncing off the walls of her
skull, competing for their turns to tell their stories.
Among
her favorite sub-genres to read and write are rock stars, cowboys, shifters,
and opposites-attract relationships. But to be honest, she’s open to almost
anything if it involves messing around in the heads of her characters. She’s
also big on series—because she has a hard time letting her characters go—and is
usually working on a handful of stories in various stages of completion all at
the same time.

Hi, K-lee! (Thought of you the other night when I watched THE LIBRARIANS. Sad that Christian Kane cut his hair, but happy that he's playing an art historian!) UNWRAPPED HEARTS sounds amazing...

Hey Trix. I love that you think of me when you see Christian Kane. Lol. The new haircut makes him look like a little mischievous boy, doesn't it? Of course, that's basically what he is. I love his character and he says he'll be putting some Eliot into Jacob Stone every so often. Thanks for the comment. Hope you like it if you read it and good luck! xo
