Spring Update!
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
It’s been a while since I’ve put out an update because I’ve been trying to find a way to get this post sent out to my newsletter subscribers. I still haven’t figured it out, but I’m working on it!
Just wanted to let you all know that I post daily both at Twitter (@JulieLeto) and Facebook. All the first updates about my latest books will be there or, of course, at Plotmonkeys.
I just finished up revisions on my upcoming August Blaze, TOO HOT TO TOUCH…and guess what? The book is going to be released as a special two-in-one for August, 2011, in honor of the 10th anniversary of Blaze! In addition to getting my new book, the first in my Legendary Lovers series, readers will also get a reprint of my very first Blaze, EXPOSED! You’ll get two full novels for the $5.25 cover price…less, if you order from eHarlequin.com.
I’ll post the cover as soon as I have it…it has to be soon!
Welcome to 2011!
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
January is almost over, but the new year is still fresh! I’m excited to have three books coming out in the second half of the year from Harlequin Blaze. The first release, TOO HOT TO TOUCH, will be part of the 10th Anniversary of Blaze! It’s the first book in my “Legendary Lovers” series and will be followed by TOO WILD TO HOLD (September, 2011) and TOO WICKED TO KEEP (October, 2011). I will post the covers and back cover copy as soon as I have them…but as a hint, let’s just say that the Legendary Lover in this case wears a black mask and is quite talented with a whip.
Just in time for the holidays…

Radio Interview with BBC 5 Live
Monday, September 20th, 2010
I had the honor and pleasure of doing a radio interview last week with Peter Allen of the BBC’s 5 Live and Anne Miller, the “heroine” of my new book, HARD TO HOLD, which is based on the romance between Anne and her husband, Mike Davoli. You can listen to it here!
Exciting news from Borders!
Friday, September 17th, 2010
Borders Books has done a phenomenal job in placing my new book, HARD TO HOLD, in their Romance section. If you’re looking for a copy, I think I’d make Borders my first stop!
My second stop would be CVS pharmacies, which is also currently featuring all three TRUE VOWS books prominently!
If you see the book featured in a store, send me a picture and I’ll put it up on this site or at my blog!
Release Day is HERE!!!
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
HARD TO HOLD is officially in stores today and also available online for e-reader devices such as my favorite, the Kindle! Please be sure to check it out! CVS pharmacies took an order of books, which is an unusual venue for me. So if you have to stop by for new nail polish, scripts or maybe more notebook paper for your child’s school supplies, take a look and see if you find the book!

Be one of the first people to read this BRAND NEW concept of romance novel–a marriage of steamy romance with reality! And check back…I’ll be setting up a chat with my real couple, Anne Miller and Michael Davoli, for Plotmonkeys sometime in October!
Hard To Hold
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
I’m so excited to introduce my newest book, HARD TO HOLD, which is currently shipping from Amazon.com and should be making its debut in bookstores on September 14th! This is part of the launch of a new series of books from HCI True Vows, the publisher of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and is a first of its kind: Reality-Based Romance. The stories are a marriage of real life and fiction!
New York lobbyist Michael Davoli feels like he’s been sucker punched when he meets Anne Miller at a concert. When fate leads him to move into same Albany apartment building where Anne lives, Michael falls hard. After all, Anne’s hot, his dog likes her, and she’s catnip to the senses after she picks a lock faster than Sydney Bristow can disarm a nuke.
Always fiercely independent, Anne’s crackerjack reporting skills and keen intellect are no match for the chemical reaction she has to this man with electric blue eyes. But while Mike effortlessly holds her with his gaze, he withholds the embrace she longs for. Why is he so distant? Has Anne misread his signals? When he finally confesses that he suffers from a neurological disorder that he’s learned to disguise from others but could keep him from ever holding her through the night—she makes a choice that changes the rest of her life.
Anne isn’t about to let anything like Tourette’s Syndrome keep her from the man of her dreams. But Mike has a second secret. Will this secret be the one that even a grand passion cannot survive?
With her trademark wit and sensual artistry, Julie Leto knocks this unforgettable romance out of the park and straight to the heart. Based on the true love story between Mike Davoli and Anne Miller, Hard to Hold is a modern day fairy tale that proves that the best things in life—and in romance—are real.
