Hello, all! I’m super excited to be here at The Novel Approach revealing the cover for Gummy Bears & Grenades, a story in the THIRDS universe. As we draw closer to the big day in Tried & True (THIRDS, Book 10), how can we not have the bachelor party? Specifically Dex’s bachelor party. I had so much fun writing this story, I hope you have fun reading it. It’s got action, drama, sexy-times, and of course plenty of shenanigans. There’s drinking, dancing, a special sexy treat for our groom-to-be, a bear costume, an assassin with personal boundary issues, and the whole THIRDS crew cutting loose.
The story takes place between Darkest Hour Before Dawn (THIRDS, Book 9) and Tried & True (THIRDS, Book 10) in the series timeline. While the story would enhance your experience of the THIRDS series, it’s not necessary to read this before Tried & True.
Also for folks who collect the THIRDS paperbacks, Gummy Bears & Grenades is being released with Thick & Thin in a combo paperback on the same day. Both are now available for preorder from Dreamspinner Press, and will be released October 4th.
ABOUT THE BOOK
THIRDS agent Dexter J. Daley can’t wait to marry his fiancé, Team Leader Sloane Brodie, but first he’s looking forward to celebrating his bachelor party—which he intends to be a shenanigans-free evening of getting his groove on with family and friends.
Of course events don’t work out as planned, but for Dex that’s nothing new. One thing is for sure, dodging drug dealers and hired thugs amid booze, dancing—and even a bear costume—will guarantee it’s a night Dex will never forget. Now he just needs to survive all the fun.

OMG I’m a sugar junkie! Anything chocolate is my favorite, and I have to have a daily dose in some way. I’ve discovered Dove milk chocolate Promises; little foil-wrapped pieces of melt-in-your-mouth heaven. Perfect dose to quench the craving.
The cover is adorable even though the “Dex” looks a little bit too young. But then again, I’m an old(er) lady so anyone under 30 is a kid to me, lol.
I have a question about the novella: Why will it come attached to book #8 in the series, Thick and Thin, when it takes place between books 9 & 10? Shouldn’t it be included with #9, Darkest Hour Before Dawn, instead? I’d think die-hard fans would be wanting everything in the proper chronological order, and would be willing to wait a bit (and get the ebook in the meantime) if it’s a publishing issue with the paperbacks. I myself always buy physical books for my Keeper shelves. There’s nothing quite like a “real” book to display that isn’t dependent upon batteries
Thanks for the giveaway and I can’t wait to read this story!
