Your new book cover? I see what you did... I pay attention to tags. "#character inspo." Kudos to you and your cover artist!

Your plus-size characters are amazing. Thank you for writing them for us. I've already made my pre-order!

Hey, Nonny!

I have no idea what you mean?

Is Rayaan Collins described as a handsome man with scruff and curly hair, often pulled back in a man bun?

YES

Does Rayaan have an affinity for the water and outdoor sports?

YES

Does Rayaan often let his hair down, just to pull it back?

YES

Does Rayaan have a protective, jealous streak when it comes to Andi Jennings?

YES

Does he look good in a suit?

YES

But I mean...

Rayaan really is NOTHING like my Muse! Why would you even suggest that?

My artist, MinaDot, simply did a wonderful job of creating a depiction of the character I described... See?

As for my plus-size characters, you're gonna love Andi! Her confidence inspires me, and I love her little quirks...

If you really think my Muse inspired this character, you'll just have to get Since Forever on Friday, and see for yourself!

Love,

CASS

COMING SOON!

He’s the internet’s new boyfriend, but to her, he’s the one that got away.

Successful journalist Andi Jennings has been sent to write a fluff piece about social media influencer Arin Collins, and she’s not happy about it. Back home, he’s the boy next door, her high school nemesis… And her former college sweetheart.

While on assignment, Andi unexpectedly runs into Arin’s older brother, Rayaan. After all these years, Rayaan is still guiding Arin’s actions and behaviors- only this time, professionally, as his manager.

Andi hasn’t seen Rayaan in years, but their connection when they meet again is undeniable. Sparks fly in all directions as their families get together for fun on the lake, just like old times.

Barely able to wrap her head around the two handsome brothers vying for her attention, this plus-sized, independent woman is torn between the pull of her past relationship and the temptation of a new one. Andi is faced with an impossible choice, one that could change everything.

Available for pre-order!

For those of you wondering what song was playing during the scene with the Bùi family, wonder no more! My friend Havy introduced me to this artist, and this song in particular became such an ohrwurm (ear worm) for me that I knew I had to feature it in the story.

How many times have I listened to it while drafting and editing? Hey now, that's between me and Spotify.

Book or Movie? Which do you prefer?

I’ve been lucky to have two brushes with Hollywood. I did the novel tie-in to the Jane the Virgin television show. Very exciting! Jane even said my name on the air (I’ll have to find that clip for you!) But even more exciting was having South Beach Love turned into a Hallmark movie. But as with some adaptations there were changes which brings up today’s This or That. Would you rather read the…

REVIEW

Jilted in January by Cara Maxwell

The Rake Review #1

Up past midnight wanting to find out if Edward and Persephone would get their happily ever after the second time around. Great way to spend the first day of 2024!

What I liked:

* Persephone: duke’s daughter, back in London after seven years away, jilted by Edward ten years before the story begins, still loves but doesn’t trust him, The Fixer, wants a husband and family

* Edward: wealthy, shipping magnate, mother Chinese and father British, has a younger brother, rake, jilted Persephone ten years ago, still loves and can’t forget her, conflicted

* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing

* Madison: Persephone’s friend and chaperone, in a loving marriage, wise, accepting, wants what is best for her friend

* The search for Edward’s kidnapped brother and how it all panned out

* Eugenia: Edward’s mother, Chinese, loving wife and mother, gave good advice to Edward

* Thinking about the ton and the social levels in British society and how difficult it must have been for some, especially other and mixed races

* That the was a happily ever after…eventually

What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about how vicious and cruel some society types were and still can be

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4-5 Stars

BLURB

No. Absolutely not. Persephone Cuthbert would rather walk over hot coals than say one word to the man who broke her heart—let alone help him. The author of The Rake Review may have declared him the most marriageable man in London, but Persephone knows the truth. Edward Johns is the cold-hearted bastard who broke her heart. She will not allow him to play her or the unsuspecting ladies of London false. Except Persephone has made helping people her life’s work. How can she refuse him when a man’s life is in danger? Ten years ago, Edward Johns jilted the love of his life for the sake of familial duty. He’s hardened his heart to steel, and he has no desire to marry—he intends to leave all of that to his younger brother, Alfred. Until said wastrel disappears without a trace. Naturally, the one woman in London who can help him is the very angel who has haunted his dreams for a decade. But family always comes first. To save his brother, Edward will keep his hands to himself—mostly, and his heart under lock and key—no matter how bewitching his angel has become. Jilted in January is Book 1 in the multi-author series, The Rake Review. This steamy second chance, fake dating Regency romance will keep you glued to the page and sweating with excitement—keep a fan handy!

"Well, hello little one." the queen sighed dreamily to the little grub approaching her.

She smiled a sleepy smile and chuckled. How long had it been since she wobbled her way into the creche on weary, rubbery legs and flopped to the floor in a most undignified 'sploot'? It felt like it had only been a few minutes but she had closed her eyes. Maybe she had dozed off? No. She could hear in the nearby chamber, Twilight was still drawing the bath for them.

AH. Hearthswarming night. She purred, reviewing the sensations in her hearts. They had spent some rapturously wonderful time lost in each other. They giggled. They nuzzled. They blathered on about anything, everything and nothing at all like teenaged foals, adrift in the vibrant ecstasy of being in love.

Yes! Then, Twilight had suggested a bath. While she had drawn the heated, perfumed water Chrysalis had wobbled her weary way into the children's creche to check on their youngest larvae. Now, here she was, splayed out on the floor on her abdomen with her plot in the air like a squashed spider.

A squashed spider with one of their infant daughters chittering into her snoot like a overjoyed puppy.

Her dual irises shifted and focused to take in the full emotional spectrum as she flickered the air with her tongue, tasting for the tiny grub. She extended her crown of antennae and expanded her consciousness to it's normal place in the hive mind's nexus. Reaching out through the nebulae of stardust and memory she examined the forming consciousness, the shape of thoughts, feelings, experiences, new as they were. In her understanding of the world, this was the true shape of a changeling.

Ah. Now she recognized this one. RGMF19. Reconnaissance Guard, Mobile Forces, Unit one, Operative nine- OR as Twilight would call her "Ragamuffin".

She gave a pleasantly resigned sigh. It was a minor annoyance, this naming convention, yet another instance of pony-kind forcing their concept of normalcy on another species. Ethnocentrism was an unfortunate habit the ponies were still struggling to unlearn. Still, Chrysalis understood that it comforted her beloved wife to assign individual names to their daughters. Twilight lacked her expanded set of senses and connection to the hive mind it was the only way she could easily differentiate between their children which was something of a necessity in motherhood.

The tiny grub stared at her with a brilliantly beaming smile and a tiny, squeaking hiss. She couldn't help but chuckle in return. Even a pony could easily tell that she was one of her new hive of drones, sired solely with Twilight's love. As opposed to all previous changelings, the little one's eyes were large and violet, like their ponymother, sparkling with intelligence and curiosity. The long, inky eyelashes framing her eyes flicked at the base of her ears. Her ears were also unusually long, like those of a rabbit. The segments of her caterpillar-like body were decorated with a trail of lavender spots, cascading along her backside like the petals of a flower.

Her clutch was so different from all which had come before them.

"One thing is for certain. Your life will be a better one."

The mighty queen gave the little grub a nudge with her snoot, rolling her over on her back. She tilted her head slightly to contemplate the wiggling little thing. She was so fragile, so frail, yet so formed by the love of her precious, irreplaceable bride- so strangely, paradoxically powerful in the promise of a new, better tomorrow for her kind.

"You will never have to hide in the shadows as your predecessors. You will never have to fear others simply knowing you exist. Their fear of you being what you are will not threaten to starve you out. You will walk in the light and they will accept you as you are. In this world which we are building, your ponymother and I, this New Equestria, your birthright is one of unimaginable power and possibility. They will love you- as your mothers love you, daughter of The Hive."

Her forked tongue flickered out and gave a playful spree of butterfly kisses to the tiny changeling babe sending it into a fit of wiggling hisses and clicking.

"Happy Hearthswarming, my Ragamuffin."

Chrysalis gently lifted the little grub in her jaws and placed her in a strand of webbing near her sleeping clutchmates. With a small nuzzle goodnight, she quietly turned to stumble away, leaving the nursery chamber to return to her wife's embrace.

A Lot Like Adiós by Alexis Daria

Hi Mich. It’s Gabe. After burning out in her corporate marketing career, Michelle Amato has built a thriving freelance business as a graphic designer. So what if her love life is nonexistent? She’s perfectly fine being the black sheep of her marriage-obsessed Puerto Rican-Italian family. Besides, the only guy who ever made her want happily-ever-after disappeared thirteen years ago. It’s been a long time. Gabriel Aguilar left the Bronx at eighteen to escape his parents’ demanding expectations, but it also meant saying goodbye to Michelle, his best friend and longtime crush. Now, he’s the successful co-owner of LA’s hottest celebrity gym, with an investor who insists on opening a New York City location. It’s the last place Gabe wants to go, but when Michelle is unexpectedly brought on board to spearhead the new marketing campaign, everything Gabe’s been running from catches up with him. I’ve missed you. Michelle is torn between holding Gabe at arm’s length or picking up right where they left off—in her bed. As they work on the campaign, old feelings resurface, and their reunion takes a sexy turn. Facing mounting pressure from their families—who think they’re dating—and growing uncertainty about their futures, can they resolve their past mistakes, or is it only a matter of time before Gabe says adiós again?

Ties That Tether by Jane Igharo

When a Nigerian woman falls for a man she knows will break her mother’s heart, she must choose between love and her family. At twelve years old, Azere promised her dying father she would marry a Nigerian man and preserve her culture even after emigrating to Canada. Her mother has been vigilant about helping--forcing--her to stay well within the Nigerian dating pool ever since. But when another match-made-by-mom goes wrong, Azere ends up at a bar, enjoying the company and later sharing the bed of Rafael Castellano, a man who is tall, handsome, and white. When their one-night stand unexpectedly evolves into something serious, Azere is caught between her growing feelings for Rafael and the compulsive need to please her mother who will never accept a relationship that threatens to dilute Azere's Nigerian heritage. Azere can't help wondering if loving Rafael makes her any less of a Nigerian. Can she be with him without compromising her identity? The answer will either cause Azere to be audacious and fight for her happiness or continue as the compliant daughter.
