Robyn Thomas – Guest Post
Famously Engaged has a rock star hero… but his life of fame and fortune is not all it’s cracked up to be. Back in third grade, Jake Olsen was the only kid who stood up on career’s day and proudly announced that he wanted to be a rock star.
He chased the dream and made it a reality, but he never gets any downtime and privacy is non-existent. He lives out of a suitcase and is always on the road. After eight gruelling years in the world spotlight, he has accepted that music is his life and his fellow band members are the closest he’ll ever come to having a family or ‘significant other.’
A host of outrageous things have been printed about him over the years and he’s about to add to the list. For the first time ever he’s going to sow the seed of a wildly improbable story and use the media to his own advantage. The glare of his fame will safeguard two Australian women from a man they care about, a man who was previously married to one and is about to marry the other.
Jake’s half-sister is the bride-to-be and Jake feels certain that her would-be husband is still hung up on his ex-wife. Stalker is the word that springs to mind because the impending groom never stops talking about his ex-wife and what he doesn’t know about her eating and sleeping patterns and daily schedule isn’t worth mentioning.
Jake considers his options and decides on a fake engagement. If Beth, the groom’s ex, was publicly engaged to him he’d have reason to move in with her. They’d be surrounded by security and she’d be free from her ex-husband’s constant attention. It’s a fool proof plan because Jake can assess the man his half-sister wants to marry, free-up Beth’s time and catch a well-deserved break as well.
How could such a well thought out man-plan possibly go wrong? What would be the worst possible moment for one of the world’s hottest stars to land on your doorstep with “proof” that he’s engaged to you?

such a nice guest post ms thomas. this sounds like an awesome read, and i for one cannot fathom a rock star coming to me.
Hi Mari, I don’t imagine a rock star will knock on my door any time soon either, but it’s nice to think it’s ‘possible.’ 🙂
Great post, Robyn. I am looking forward to reading your book.
thanks Amy. It has a brand new cover now!
Great guest post Robyn. Always a pleasure to meet the author and here what they have to say about developing their characters etcc.
Thanks Alexis.
Hey Robyn great post. Also thanks for letting me read and review Famously Engaged. I really enjoyed it and look forward to more fun reads by u. Maybe Jake’s band members could get their HEA next.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Famously Engaged, Marcie. I’m very glad that you enjoyed it.
As for more HEAs – I’m working on unrelated characters at the moment, but I do have a soft spot for Jake’s band 🙂
Great guest post Robyn. Thank you for talking about your characters.
Thanks Sassy!
Thank you Robyn for giving us an insight into the hero. I have become addicted to rock star storylines. Sadly, the rock stars of my era are probably nearing retirement…lol
Lol Sandy, maybe that’s why there are always new ones to fall for? That way their ages are across the board and we’re never without someone to ogle and appreciate.
Had a hard time logging on. Thanks for coming by. Book sounds really good.
