She has just uprooted her life to move across the Long Island Sound to the quaint little seaside town she used to visit as a child. What is it about this rare beauty that draws Josh? Just like the vessel on her pottery wheel, is Josh capable of change?

10*s. I received an eARC copy of this book in return for an honest review. WOW...I would have never guess that this is the author's second book in her first ever series. This is an incredibly enticing and fun story that got me excited and gave me butterflies in my stomach. It felt so real and the characters are amazing. The author wastes no time at getting to the sexy parts. No leading us on and keeping us in suspense. I loved this book even more than the first one and is by far my favorite one. This is a RECOMMENDED MUST READ for anybody who loves stories of sexy men who find themselves falling for amazingly sexy women. This story will grab your heart and libido and still have you screaming for more. Thank you, Rayne Bexley, for another amazingly sexy erotica.
*CAUTION: READER DISCRETION ADVISED*
Most
of my favorite authors are indie or self-pubbed, what made me you
decide to go that route?
I
am actually with a publishing house. I’m with Horny Devil
Publishers, a new publishing house that specializes in erotic short
stories. I chose to go this route because although I love to write,
I had no idea about what it took to actually publish a book. I have
learned a great deal in a short amount of time. I am working on a
novel that doesn’t fall within Horny Devil’s criteria so down the
road I do plan to self-published.
What
was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your
books?
I’ve
learned that writing books is so much more than telling a story.
That you need to bring characters to life, show their faults, their
vulnerabilities, what makes them happy, or sad, give them a voice,
make them interact so that the reader can hear them.
Which of your characters are you most like? Least like?
I like Addie from
License to Thrill. I don’t know if I would have what it takes to
set out on my own, to follow a dream to another state. The one that
I like the least is from a book that I am writing right now. She is
the sister of the main character, and at first, she was only to play
a small part, but that has changed.
Do
you have a particular writing habit?
No, not really, other than I really
like writing in complete silence. So, sometimes, the middle of the
night is the perfect time for me.
If
you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Marie Force. I love her McCarthy’s
of Gansett Island Series, and Treading Water Series. She is such a
wonderful storyteller. Every time I finish one of her books I’m
sad, I am so invested in her characters.
Are
there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Ava
Snow, Kassandra Cox, Edward Tailor, Oliver Lixx, Indigo Sin, TL
Reeve, Cleo Taurus, Haper Jewel, Alex Cook. I could just keep on
going. I have been exposed to so many new authors though out this
experience.
What
is the hardest part of your writing?
Veering
off from the original plan, I do like to set an outline, but most of
the time, that goes by the wayside, and I find myself some place I
didn’t expect.
Do
you have any advice for other writers?
LOL…probably not, I need all the
advice I can get! I would say for anyone considering writing, just
sit down, and do it!
Describe
yourself in three words.
Honest,
dependable, caring.
I
know characters are like children but if you could chose, who’s
your favorite from your books? Of all time?
I
know this is a cop out, but I rather like them all. I’m most fond
of the one I’m writing at the time, much like my book boyfriends
when I’m reading! I have fallen in love with so many male
characters that way!
Any
song or songs that could basically sum up the overall mood of your
writing?
None
that I can think of.
Do
you plot out your books or just freely write them and let the
characters tell you what to do next?
I plot, but as stated above, I
get side tract and end up going in a different direction.
If
you had to choose, which writer would you consider the biggest
influence in your writing?
Kallypso
Masters. Her Rescue Me Series is brilliant. She really captured me
with Masters at Arms offered as a free read on my kindle. It was the
introduction to her series, and I eagerly awaited each one of her
releases. I was hooked!
What are your current projects? Can you share a little of your
current work with us?
I
have a few projects in the works. Of Course, the next in the Main
Street Series is underway, as well as quite a few other projects.
This little snippet is from an untitled manuscript at this point.
It’s unedited:
The scars had finally faded. Angry red
lines that diminished to pink were now hardly noticeable. The
journey had been three years in the making, and now Jensen stood in
front of her full-length mirror pivoting from side to side, smoothing
her hands over the form fitting little black dress that molded to her
frame as if it were painted on. For the first time in her life, she
felt beautiful.
Filled with doubt, she didn’t know
why she was going. It had been fifteen years since she had seen her
high school classmates, and hadn’t kept in touch with one. Being
the chubby girl in Coco-Beach Florida made you a nobody, invisible,
someone who blended into the background, and most of the time she
thankful for that.
