Texting, Autocorrect, and a Prius by MA Church blog tour | Cat's ARC Review, Author Guest post, Excerpt & #giveaway @Dreamspinners @nomoretears00

Clay McDonald finds the perfect car on Craigslist and is quick to send the seller a text:

Is your penis still for sale?

AutoCorrect strikes again. Damn—he should’ve proofread. How embarrassing.

Luckily Darrell Anderson, a mechanic and the owner of the Prius, is more amused than offended, and the two men agree to meet. When they do, the attraction is instant, and a date is arranged. But a series of mishaps, misunderstandings, and misplaced assumptions sorely test the new relationship.

In a contemporary romantic comedy about the perils of technology and dating in the modern world, a text that went so wrong might just lead to something so right—but only if Clay can refrain from jumping to conclusions and give love the benefit of the doubt.

This is a short, fun humorous and sexy book. It is a perfect beach read just be careful you may chuckle out loud especially at the blurb. That auto-correct I didn't see coming LOL! 

Darrell is an older man and tired of hooking up, he owns his own shop and loves cars. He just got stuck with an older Prius when a customer didn't pay for repairs so he decides to sell it on Craig's list.

Clay works a lot and drives an hour to work. His truck is big and takes lots of gas so he is looking for a small older model car. He just got a new phone and when he sees the ad on Craig's list he sends a text without rereading it. (you will spew your drink when you read this!)

I loved this story. It was so fun. There is a little conflict, a twist,and humor.  The only issue I had was Darrell had a hookup the first night then you never hear no more about him. I saw no reason for having that in there, it just confused me. Then there was the two brothers. Maybe there will be more books I would love to read about the brothers and Sonny, Clay's friend.

If you like humor, short fun story, older men/younger men, and some hot man-sex you will love this

Guest post with Author MA Church...

Hey everyone, my name is M.A. Church and I’m thrilled to be at Tammy’s Two Cents to talk about my latest release Texting, AutoCorrect, and a Prius.

Remember back in school how our teachers, and speaking as a teacher I can attest to this, lol, harped on proofreading your material? As a kid I rolled my eyes. When I started teaching, I understood the value. But… but when I started writing, that lesson really hit home.

My character, Clay McDonald, finds out just how important proofing can be, even with texts. A new phone, a quick text message about a Prius for sale on craigslist, and his life gets interesting right quick like! AutoCorrect strikes again and changes Prius to penis. Fortunately for Clay, the owner of the car has a sense of humor. Good thing, considering what Clay’s text said. Darrell Anderson, a mechanic and the owner of the Prius, thinks it’s the funniest damn thing he’s read in a while.

The book has a lot of humor based on how a text that went so wrong turned into something so right, but as with many of my books, there is underlying moral. *Grin* Humor is good, but if a relationship is going to survive, there has to be a solid foundation built on trust. Clay learns the hard way not to jump to conclusions, which his best friend, Sonny, points out. But has Clay waited too long to get his head up on straight, or has he messed things totally up?

Excerpt:

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?”

“Pretty sure you didn’t, but it might’ve gotten lost in all the whining you were doing about fuel mileage.”

“That wasn’t whining. That was stating facts.” Clay shrugged when Sonny smirked. “I need something small that has excellent fuel mileage. I’m going to drive that to work instead of the truck.”

“Huh. Isn’t it going to be odd moving from something as big as your truck to a small car?”

“I’m not planning to live in it, you know.”

Sonny shrugged. “I guess I can’t wrap my head around you in a small car. How much are you looking to spend?”

The waitress returned, so Clay waited to respond. She took their dinner orders, then left.

“Not more than I have to,” Clay said. “I’m looking for something used, so that’ll help. It doesn’t have to have all the bells and whistles like my truck. Like I said, this is just to get me to work and back.”

“Have you started looking?”

“Yeah, I’ve checked the dealerships in the area. So far I haven’t seen anything that appeals to me.”

“You could check Craigslist,” Sonny said as the waitress reappeared with a bread basket and salads. “The salads look good.”

“They do.” Clay unwrapped his silverware. After the first bite, he hummed in agreement. “Oh yeah, it is. By the way, Craigslist isn’t a bad idea. I knew there was a reason I kept you around.”

“Uh-huh. I thought it was for the entertainment value.”

“That too.”
