Playing by the Rules (A Portwood Brothers
Novel 1)
Payton always had one rule she lived by, no boyfriends until
after college. No one seemed to agree
with her, even her own mother who had her at age sixteen. Returning to school after an accident that
flipped Payton’s world upside down left her feeling out of control. Holding on to her rule seemed to be her only
lifeline.
Josh had been letting the past rule his life for too
long. Finally being at school, he’d
become his own man, and he’d been putting all that behind him. Just when he thought he had it all put
together, life got crazy. Not only did
his ex show back up, but Josh also found he couldn’t get Payton Whitmore out of
his head.
Once Josh convinces Payton to give him a shot, she’s so
closed off that he wonders if it’s even worth it. Josh can tell there’s something special about
Payton though, and as soon as he goes all in, he’s ready to show her that some
rules are made to be broken.

Playing with Fire (A Portwood Brothers Novel
Book 2)
Jackson
wants the one thing he can’t have, his brother’s girlfriend. He tried to forget her, but even spending
nine months Afghanistan didn’t make him want her any less. Now he was heading home, a home he shares
with his brother and the woman they both want.
Emma believed that
you should never follow your heart. She
tried that once, and she ended up alone and broken. After she put the pieces back together, she
decided she’d rather forget about love and just have fun. Who needed someone special anyway? Certainly not her.
When both of them
realize they are on they are on the same page, they embark in a hot, no-strings
arrangement that satisfies their needs without getting their hearts involved. But when you play with fire, someone always
gets burned.

Playing for the Win (A Portwood Brothers Novel
Book 3)
Addison had always thought when she said, “I do” two years ago that it’d be forever. Madly in love, things were going along fine, great even, until she found out her husband was keeping secrets from her. Unable to deal with that on top of everything else in her life, she packed her bags and headed home to her parents.
Bryce had been called a lot of things in his life, most of them he wouldn’t repeat. One thing he’s never been called was a quitter. He’d proven time and time again that when he set his mind to something, he succeeded at it. It might take some persistence and a little hard work, but he never gave up until it paid off.
Bryce knows one way or another he was getting his wife back. He’d have to fight harder than he ever had before, but he’d do it for Addison, for them. He’d play dirty if he had to because he wasn’t going to lose. He was playing to win.

Interview
With Emily Robertson:
1 Can you tell us a little
about your books?
How
much time do we have? I’m kidding. I love to write little parts of my life in
each of my books. It’s like those Easter
eggs you find in games and movies. Those
people that know me might be able to pick out those situations or conversations
in my books. In this series I write
about chronic pain, military life, and lots of shenanigans. These are all part of my daily life.
The first book in the Portwood Brothers series, Playing by the
Rules, is all about Josh and him showing Payton that she doesn’t need to hold
on to her no serious relationships until college is over rule. The second book,
Playing with Fire, tells the story of Josh’s twin brother, Jackson, and how he
finds a distraction in the way of a fiery redhead named Emma. Together they
help each other forget the past without strings, but end up tangled in the
mess. Playing for the Win tells the story of how Bryce wins back his wife’s
heart after he’s lost her trust. After losing a child, Addison is broken and
doesn’t know how to put her life back together. Good thing Bryce doesn’t take
no for an answer. He’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she’s his again. I just sent off Playing it Cool. It’s a prequel to the series. As I was writing each of these books I always
wondered how a guy like Bryce could land a girl like Addison. It was great getting back into the world of
the Portwood brothers and seeing everyone before the series takes place.
2 For the Portwood Brothers
series, does it need to be read in order or can they be read as standalones?
I’ve
been told that you can read the books as standalone books. I suppose that it wouldn’t be an issue. However, as the author, I feel that they
should be read in order (except the novella) to get the full experience. Each book, while tells the story about
another brother, shows glimpses of the other brothers and their lives. If you skip around, you’ll be reading about
the other relationships out of order as well.
If you’re okay with spoilers, then knock yourself out.
3 What inspires you to
write?
Everything
in my life inspires my writing. As I
said above, I write a lot of myself into my books. Sometimes I will hear a conversation, be in a
situation, or just experience something and an idea will hit. When I started out writing the Portwood
Brothers series, I didn’t know the second book would be about Jackson. In fact, it wasn’t supposed to be a series
about the brothers at all. When Jackson
demanded his story, though, it came so fast.
I like to think it’s because we just got each other. Jackson needed a distraction, and I was using
him to distract myself from my husband’s deployment. It worked very well.
The
new series I’m working on was all inspired by a song, a One Direction
song. Because of the lyrics, I wondered
what it’d be like to have a relationship, a long-term relationship with someone
who was really famous. The series took a
drastic turn, but they always do.
I
guess the moral of the story is, if you’re around me, you could end up in one
of my books.
4 Do you have a favorite
character to write about?
Unless
it’s Bryce, I think whatever character I’m working on is my favorite. Each of my characters really means something
to me, and they have all been fun to write in their own way. I love learning about them and seeing how
that plays out in the books that I write for them.
5 Do you have a favorite
spot to write?
I
have a desk that I set up in the back of my living room, but I love writing on
the sofa by my bay window. The light
that comes in, and seeing the outside is what I enjoy. Any place that is bright and sunny is perfect
for writing, even the car.
6 Do you listen to music
while you write?
As
someone who is easily distracted, you’d think the answer would be no. I love writing to music, though. I usually find a song that goes with the
scene I’m working on, and then I put that song on repeat. With the song on repeat, it fades into the
background and it drowns out everything going on around me. When the scene starts to drag, or I just
can’t get in the groove anymore, sometimes a change of song helps. I try and keep a playlist of songs that I
listen to for each book up on YouTube for readers to listen to if they want.
7 If you could spend 24
hours as a fictional character, who would you chose?
That’s
a no brainer. I’d be Lavender Mead. She’s the pint-sized woman who finally broke
through Tyler Harris’ defenses. If I had
one day, I’d spend it as Lavender so I could be with Mr. Harris. Forward Passes is one my all time favorite
sports romance reads, and the only book boyfriend I will ever claim.
8 What are writing projects
are you currently working on?
Currently
I’m working on a book in a new series.
The first is finished, and I’m working on book two. This series revolves around a band (I like to
think they’re an edgy boy band) and the women who don’t take their crap. The first book was a blast to write, and the
second has been equally as fun. I can’t
wait to dive into the third, and the fourth will probably be the story of what
I wished would have happened to me as a kid.
Keep an eye out for more information on this series!
