Line Synopsis
Despite the rough circumstances of her early childhood, Kaia Graham was determined to succeed.
Escaping her drug-addicted mother to the comfort of a better life with her paternal grandparents, Kaia worked her way through college and became a success before the age of thirty. Along the way, she fell for Bobby E., lead singer of the rock band, Stone End. Knowing he only saw her as a kid sister, she turned her energy toward achieving success.
Filled with tension and stress and needing to relinquish control, Kaia takes a vacation for a month and answers a job ad for an assistant to Martin, who she finds out is a Dominant, for a month. She never sees his face, and after a rough patch in the beginning, Kaia enjoys every moment she spends with Martin.
After being released as Martin’s submissive, Kaia discovers Bobby felt the same as she did but can love alone keep them together? Kaia wants Bobby but she needs what Dominant Martin gave her and soon wonders if her and Bobby were ever really meant to be, especially after tension and stress take her over, again.

THIS ONE IS RYANNE’S BEST!
I loved everything about this one and I want more! There’s a huge surprise in here that I WON’T spoil but it shocked everything in me to read it. I had no clue this book was going there. Kaia and Martin and Bobby are the perfect triangle. That Martin needed. His ass whipped for his mess! Bobby was on my bad list for a minute but he pulled it in. The part where she confesses something to Bobby had me confused but soon I realized that she did do something horrible to him first. It took me a second because I can be thick at times but yeah, I saw her wrongdoings too. This is a great read and I really have no clue why Ryanne Anthony isn’t more famous. Can’t wait for her next book!!!!!!!!

Meet author L.A. Remenicky – “Saving Cassie” (Fairfield Corners Book 1) – #Romance, #Mystery&Suspense, #Suspense, #Ghosts, #Paranormal, #Demons&Devils

Lori

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
It’s been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve been an avid bookworm since I first learned to read.
How long does it take you to write a book?
Usually, about 3 – 4 months.
What is your work schedule like when you’re writing?
It varies due to my “day job” – I try to write something every day – doesn’t always happen.
What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I don’t know if it’s interesting or not but I have to have music playing in the background. I can’t write in total silence.
How do your books get published?
I am with a small, indie publisher – Lavish Publishing.
Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?
Most of my story ideas come from music lyrics, but I also get ideas from television shows, random comments, pretty much anything that makes me ask “What if?” Saving Cassie came from a dream and the lyrics to (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams.
When did you write your first book and how old were you?
I wrote Saving Cassie during NaNoWriMo in 2013 (I was 49). A friend mentioned this really cool contest where you try to write 50,000 words in a month. I thought, why not? So I signed up and wrote 50,000 words that November, it was a mess but that mess turned into Saving Cassie. After a lot of editing, I published it 2014.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
Read, watch television, travel.
What does your family think of your writing?
I’m lucky in that they are very supportive. My mom reads all my books.
What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
That I could write something that others enjoy reading.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I currently have 7 published along with a short story and a novelette in anthologies. My favorite is Saving Cassie, only because it was the first.
Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?
Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Finding a critique partner/alpha reader who will be honest (and not just say they love it) is a huge help.
Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
Not much except from my very small core group of readers.
Do you like to create books for adults?
Yes, I love writing romance.
What do you think makes a good story?
That’s a hard question. A good story will draw you in while leaving just enough to the imagination – difficult to explain.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
I wanted to be an author or a famous singer. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket so it’s a good thing I can write, lol.
Any books in the works?
Yes, I am currently finishing up the 2nd in the Love On The Double Duet – Beyond Duty (Loving Jessie’s Girl is book 1). I am also working on a story for an anthology and a couple of other ideas that are still in the planning stages.
What are your plans for the future?
Writing, of course. Finish the Fairfield Corners series (2 more books planned), start a Rockstar series.

 After ten years in the big city, Cassie Holt is back in Fairfield Corners. She may look like the same girl who left home a decade before, but she’s hiding a dark truth from everyone. When her demon-possessed ex-fiance threatens her life, her best friend–who just happens to be the local sheriff—offers his help.
Deputy Logan Miller has been burned by love. He’s not looking to get involved, but duty calls when the sheriff tasks him with Cassie’s protection. Thrown into close quarters with the gorgeous bookseller, sparks fly. Logan is drawn to Cassie, but it’s hard to trust someone so guarded.
With Cassie’s life and the future of the world at stake, can Logan protect Cassie–and his heart?

Spooky and impossible to put down
I have to start by saying that this book was a pleasure to read. It is also the first that I have read by L.A. Remenicky. That being said, I found her characters to be real, believable, down to earth and charming.
Cassie is a woman who has never felt “right” in her own skin, and things start to happen that make absolutely no sense at all. First, her parents are killed leaving her orphaned and alone with her grandmother. Then her grandmother dies in a mysterious way leaving Cassie the sole heir of the house she grew up in and her grandmother’s bookstore. All places that mean a great deal to her, but somehow host something out to get her.
Logan is a new cop who just happens to meet Cassie in typical cop fashion…she gets a speeding ticket. He has no knowledge that his boss, the sheriff, is also Cassie’s best friend and the closest thing to a relative she has now. Logan is immediately drawn to Cassie, and it slowly reveals itself in a haunting and highly anticipated way. Logan was sent to save Cassie from the demon entity that inhabited a “friend” from her parents’ past. Spooky, right? I thought so too. How do you fight a demon? How do you hold onto the love of your life and the warmth of the past? What happens when that demon is dead set on destroying not only you but everything you thought you could ever want? Cassie knows.

Soulless and exiled from Heaven the Dark Knights have spent millennia protecting humanity from Lucifer and his demons. But the longer they live the closer they come to joining Lucifer’s ranks in Hell. Their only hope is to find their soul keepers and love.
After an attack by a demon left her injured and weak Amber Fitzpatrick welcomed the attention and caring of her rescuer Jacob—until he turned into an abusive monster. The night Amber flees the possessive, extraordinarily toxic relationship Jacob reveals his true demonic nature.
Zach has more than Lucifer’s minions to contend with. Each day brings him closer to Hell. For fifty years he’s walked the thin line between sanity and giving in to his dark urges. Urges that go against his calling as a healer and a teacher. Every battle drives him closer to the edge, feeds his inner demon and pushes him to find a permanent solution to death.
When Zach meets Amber, he sees a chance for salvation. But Amber’s experience with Jacob makes her afraid to start any kind of relationship with Zach, especially discovering he’s not that different than the man she walked away from. Can she set her fear aside and save Zach before she loses him to the darkness forever?

Left me again wanting more!
Just as His Soul to Hold and His Soul to Keep, you’ll be putting off those household chores to turn the page! Round three in the Dark Knights, TW Knight does it again. A glass of wine, a comfy blanket and a copy of His Soul to Save made a whacky winter tolerable.

Great beginning to a new series
By Elizabeth Agiantritis
This book is the start of a new series, which introduces us to friends Nate, Stone, Ken, Joel, and Slade. Nate is an underground MMA fighter in training, with dreams of one day fighting in the UFC. But Nate is hiding a secret, one that means his dream may never come true, but that also has him hesitating to reveal his true self to Natalie, the girl that has captured his interest. This book deals with a subject matter that has not been widely explored before and it does so with sensitivity and true understanding.

Another great book by Samantha Jacobey
I love the way Samantha Jacobey brings her characters to life. In “The Binding” Meredith finds herself with a lot of questions: a book, her father, her mother, and Rider. Will she be able to sort everything out?
The Binding kept me going! I couldn’t put it down!
I highly recommend this book!

Line Synopsis.jpg
Kimber wanted to be a lawyer almost as much as she wanted Roland Sampson, her older brother’s best friend. After pining for him for two years, Kimber finally accepts that to Roland, she will always be “his best friend’s kid sister,” and nothing more.
During her first year of college, Kimber meets Samantha and her twin, ultimate bad-boy Jaxen Malloy, drummer for Negative Ion. Tatted. Muscled. Beyond gorgeous. Soon Kimber finds herself forgetting Roland and thinking only of Jaxen, much to Samantha’s disappointment. Like Kimber’s brother, Samantha wants Kimber as far away from Jaxen, female enemy number one, as possible since she knew all Jaxen would do is viciously hurt her. Not this time, Kimber insisted. Well-schooled on Jaxen’s reputation, Kimber decides to take what she can get, and ignore all the warnings to stay away from the handsome bad-boy.
Will Jaxen ever think of Kimber as something other than his “annoying” sister’s friend or was he falling for her, too? Kimber hoped so and, to find out, she was willing to take the risk of Jaxen breaking her heart… and soul.

A Nonstop Read
I have found myself a new author to follow. Where do you start with a book like this? First, I had to walk away for a bit after the ending…I was so upset. (I know, get a life, right?!) But that is how you feel when an author pulls you into to their story so much that you are left wearing your feelings on your sleeve. Ryanne took you through all the emotions; laughter, sadness, and with the ending, anticipation for the next book to follow this.
Ms. Anthony did a great job writing about the various characters in this book because the storyline was not just about Jaxen and Itsy, even though they were the main characters; you were taken into the two families that were involved as well. I really loved the storyline for Itsy’s mom and dad.
Falling takes you down the path of a virgin and what it means to have the right person to give it up to. Or so you thought. Ryanne did a great job writing this because I felt cheated on right along with Itsy. Itsy knew that in order for her to give up her virginity to someone she would have to love that person. Is it possible that the person will be someone that you actually have crushed on for a couple of years and thought they never felt the same way? And how do you love someone and know that you will be leaving them in a few short weeks? Is the love that Itsy is feeling enough to get her to change her mind and stay behind for her man? And what happens when you wait too long to tell someone of your true feelings for them? Ok, enough of the dramatic questions!
This book was a killer because not only did it keep me reading through it nonstop, it left me wanting for the follow up to be ready NOW. Believe me; it will not come out soon enough! This is a great read for anyone looking for a story that will pull you in and make you feel invested in the characters. The same desperate feeling I had that kept me reading through this book nonstop left me feeling desperate to find out what is going to happen next with Itsy and Jaxen. (Sorry Roland)
I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
