I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
As Cassandra made her way to her seat in first class, she was stopped by a man towering in the aisle. Flashing his badge he announced, “U.S. Sky Marshal,” while grabbing her free arm, “Ma’am, I’m afraid you’ll have to come with me” he said rather coldly. And just liked that, it was over. She hadn’t even gotten out of New York. Frozen, Cassie stood there in the aisle stunned they had found her so quickly. Quietly, she made an about-face, not wanting to make a scene. She would face her death with dignity, she owed her family that.
When they got to the terminal, she was taken to an empty V.I.P. lounge and cuffed to a chair. It was clear, she was going to have to face the consequence of killing Armand. Even in death he was throwing his weight around. The memory…
In the last episode Cassandra Fenetti killed mob boss Armand Amatorè in retaliation for the murder of her father. Now a marked woman, Cassie has to figure out the next move before the Cosimo family hunts her down.
With her hands still shaking, Cassandra packed her bags in a frenzy, throwing whatever she could grab into the totes. As she was zipping up, her cell rang, causing her heart to stop. Instead of answering it, she just threw it into the waste basket next to her dresser. It had a GPS and she couldn’t risk answering, let alone, taking it with her. Exiting the hotel, she looked at her car and remembered that too had a GPS as well. Without a car, she couldn’t go anywhere fast and without a phone, she couldn’t even call a cab. Biting her lip, she fought back tears realizing just how royally screwed she…
Recently, I tried to get back into romance novels and was disappointed by the same ol, tired stories. But I met an interesting author by the name of Dellani Oakes, who has breathed new life into a very stuffy genre. In her newest release, “Dulcet” Dellani brings us the story of Cooper, a newly born again Christian with a sexually torrid past. Cooper, who is now comfortably at home in church finds himself in danger of backsliding when he meets Gloria, the church’s newest cantor. Instantly attracted, he fears the ghosts of his past pulling him back to his old womanizing ways.
None of this goes unnoticed by several of his friends and church family who are concerned for Cooper as well as for Gloria’s innocence. He is at odds with his old friend and spiritual mentor Barry– better known as Father Barry. Cooper is feeling like he’s being judge by those around him and to be honest, he is. What Cooper doesn’t know is that they only have his best interests at heart but it’s hard for him to see that because he’s still a wounded man. His life took a tragic turn in college when his fiance was killed in a car accident. This led to his inevitable drinking and womanizing. But Cooper’s new found comfort in church changes, when he starts unofficially dating Gloria.
However, not everything is as it seems, as it’s not only Cooper with secrets and a past. Gloria has a confession of her own and it will throw everyone for a loop!
Although a Christian themed romance novel, Dulcet is not your typical Christian book. Don’t let that pretty cover fool you. It does have strong language and adult themes in it. The reason why I loved this romance novel is because the main character Cooper, although a new Christian, has issues, real ones. Unlike your typical Christian romance where nothing happens and nobody says anything “unspiritual” this book has characters that are relatable and seriously flawed. We all know a Cooper, or have one in our family.
Dulcet, I believe will having romance fans laughing, crying and wondering what the heck!?! Dellani Oakes did a marvelous job with creating characters that are quirky and loveable. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and believe if you miss real romance novels, then you definitely need to give Dulcet a try.
