About the Book:
So far, hookups in a bar were less than fulfilling. Guys picked up in bars were great for sex, but that’s all it was—sex. Emma wanted more than the normal vanilla ice cream served in careful scoops. She wanted Rocky Road mixed with Turtle mixed with Neapolitan.
Fantasies, we all have them, but Emma Rochester craved for hers to come true. She's been dreaming of Trent's Halloween party for over a year and she finally received her invite. Yet, now there's Jacob Hendricks, the quiet, mysterious man at work who keeps casting furtive glances her way. In order to have one, she has to give up on the other, but which should she choose.

Another fun and sexy
read by Robbie Cox! BEHIND THE MASK is a
contemporary adult romance with sizzle. Lots
of sizzle. And definitely on my “Adults
Only” read list!
Emma gets annoyed with
the new employee in her office, a man who can’t seem to keep his eyes off her
throughout the day. Not that Jacob
Hendricks was really all that creepy and quite frankly, he was rather good
looking. It was just the staring that
Emma found creepy. And Emma had a firm
policy to not get involved with co-workers.
So Emma would shift her thoughts to the upcoming Halloween party thrown
by Trent Wilson, known for throwing the wildest sexiest parties in all
Savannah. It was a masked ball that
allowed people to delve into their wildest fantasies without anyone knowing who
they were. And Emma had some pretty wild
fantasies!
Yes, it’s easy to
figure out how this one ends, but I have to say it was fun getting there
anyway! Add in a bit of mystery about
Emma’s sister, Kelly, and her obsession with the occult and her deceased
husband and I think we may have the workings of a sequel to BEHIND THE
MASK. That little bit of mystery about
what Kelly had planned for Halloween night, the anniversary of her husband’s
death, was not fully explained and I’m thinking there is much more to
come.
Although the
characters were not as fully developed as I normally prefer, it did not take
away from the story. Not exactly serious
novel stuff, but if you’re looking for light reading that will entertain you… I
mean REALLY entertain you… then this is a book you will enjoy. BEHIND THE MASK goes on my “Sexy Halloween”
read list!
Robbie started writing as a way to escape - escape his teachers, escape his fears, even to escape his insecurities and doubts. However, his stories of seduction and adventure, not only allowed him to hide in the lives of his characters, but also captivated those who wanted to escape with him. Now, he enjoys a full-time career as a storyteller and novelist, and invites readers to runaway with him- to escape, getting lost in the seduction of adventure.
When he is not writing, Robbie can be found on his back porch enjoying a cigar, a scotch, and a good story. He derives pleasure from his large family and his crazy group of friends who provide the inspiration for his blog The Mess that Is Me.
He is the author of the Urban Fantasy series, The Warrior of the Way, along with the paranormal series, The Witches of Savannah. His Contemporary Romance series includes The Rutherford Series, The Harper Twins, and the Fangirls series.

Q&A WITH Robbie cox
Behind the Mask is a spinoff from Come Halloween, a paranormal
romance. Is this story also a paranormal romance?
It’s more of a companion story
than a spinoff. It takes place during the same time frame as Come Halloween, giving us the events in Emma’s life and the buildup to the party she was
so excited about. It’s not paranormal in anyway, although the coffee shop
conversations happen in both books.
Emma just seemed spunky. Plus she
was so gung-ho about this Halloween party that I just needed to see if she had
her fantasy come true.
Where do you most
often find inspiration for the stories you write?
On Behind the Mask, the inspiration came
from writing Come Halloween. However, most of my
stories are based on the what-ifs I see happen around me. I look at people and
try to figure out their story. In Come Halloween, I just loved the history and folklore
of Savannah and really wanted to put a story of witches there.
What are you reading
(or what was the last book you read)?
I’ve been working a story for the
Sassy Ever After world of Milly Taiden, so I’ve been reading a lot of the books based in that world. Right now,
I’m reading one by Gracen Miller called Kissing Sassy.
Are there any genres
you haven’t written in yet that you’d like to explore someday?
I have ideas for stories in every
genre. I am working on some mystery stories with unique detectives, which is
turning out to be a lot of fun. Plus, I want to combine more genres, like
paranormal with mystery or detective stories.
What are your
favorite genres (or romance sub-genres) to read?
Fantasy is my go-to genre to read
and I love Terry Brooks. He actually is the reason I started writing way
back when. Other than that, any genre is great as long as the story is solid.
While writing in one
genre, do you read in the same genre during that time?
I do. I can separate my reading
and my writing pretty well, which is probably why I can write so many stories
at once in so many genres.
