Review! Cade (Le Beau Brothers #1) V.A. Dold!

 

 

 

Welcome to a new week, readers! Today, I am visiting New Orleans to visit with the Royal Le Beau family! Enjoy and don't forget to add Cade by V.A. Dold to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Anna James is single again, finally. In her opinion, men are self-centered and will never love her for who she is, a beautiful, plus sized woman. All except the fantasy man that she’s been meeting in her dreams for five years. She just never expected her fantasy to be a real live alpha shifter...


Cade Le Beau isn't what he seems. He’s a billionaire wolf. A Shifter. He laments his missed chance six months ago to meet his fantasy woman in the flesh. Just as his second chance presents itself, his fantasy woman, his mate, is threatened by the local mob boss and her ex-husband. Now, he has forty eight hours to deal with this threat once and for all or chance losing her again.


Is it Anna who’s in danger, or the humans who unwittingly threaten her?
The heat is on the moment they lay eyes on each other. Neither, age, children, horrid ex-husbands, nor mob bosses will stop this love affair.


 

 

It is Anna James’s opinion that men are self-centered and will never love for who she is, a beautiful, plus sized woman, all except for the fantasy man that she’s been meeting in her dreams. Billionaire wolf shifter, Cade is finally blessed with a meeting his fantasy woman and discovers that she is his mate. The heat is on the minute they lay eyes on each other and neither, age, children, horrid ex-husbands, nor mob bosses will stop this love affair.

 

This shifter romance takes place in a wonderful New Orleans and bayou setting that makes a wonderfully rich and powerful background to the fascinating royal wolf shifters that live there. The characters are strong, captivating and easily draw readers into their world and he romance between Cade and Anna is sweet, sizzles with lots of chemistry and warms the heart. And while the mating is instinct is strong, Cade has to keep her alive long enough to introduce Anna to his world.

 

The plot is fast paced and keeps readers hanging on to each and every word as personal issues, exes, rogue wolves, and a mob boss do their best to get in the way of this budding relationship. The danger and excitement abounds throughout the story while readers get to know the Le Beau family and the author made the story life like by addressing details that would Anna would face when making decisions regarding taking the next step in this relationship like the ones regarding her sons. Readers can’t help but enjoy this heartwarming, suspenseful and intriguing romance be completely charmed by the Le Beau family.

Then, there is her newfound pursuit of kinky—no, more adventurous sex. Nothing too bad, you understand. It was reading the steamy romance that sent her on a jaunt down Spanking Avenue and now she has set up an anonymous blog to explore her interest. Perhaps it’s best if she sticks with Greg, her current boyfriend. She can ask him to spank her…even if Connor pops into her fantasies like a seductive magical genie.

 

The recent changes in Maggie don’t escape Connor’s notice. Now that her boyfriend has dropped her, and luck has gifted him with inside knowledge, he can finally—carefully—make his move. But, given his family history, laying a hand on any woman, even in fun, is a line he’s reluctant to cross.

 

As Maggie gives in to the temptation to let Connor add spicy sin to her life, she finds herself juggling lies, half-truths, friendship and sensual delights. Her job is in jeopardy—and she’s falling in love. Exploring her fantasy is one thing, but she’s beginning to question if indulging her own pleasure is worth the cost to everyone around her.

 

Warning: Contains a girl-next-door with spanking on her mind and a sexy rugby player who sees past her shyness and insecurities to the sensual possibilities beyond.

USA Today bestselling author Shelley Munro lives in Auckland, the City of Sails, with her husband and a cheeky Jack Russell/mystery breed puppy.

 

Typical New Zealanders, Shelley and her husband left home for their big OE soon after they married (translation of New Zealand speak – big overseas experience). A twelve month long adventure lengthened to six years of roaming the world.

Enduring memories include being almost sat on by a mountain gorilla in Rwanda, lazing on white sandy beaches in India, whale watching in Alaska, searching for leprechauns in Ireland, and dealing with ghosts in an English pub.

 

While travel is still a big attraction, these days Shelley is most likely found in front of her computer following another love – that of writing stories of romance and adventure. Other interests include watching rugby and rugby league (strictly for research purposes), and curling up with a good book.

The following morning, hoping to get a long lay in as part of my self-prescribed relaxation week, the mobile started buzzing.


“I am going to kill Michael,” I mumbled to myself determined that it must have been him without having yet lifted the pillow off my head to check the screen on the mobile.


“Uhhh.” I conceded as I realized my mistake. It was actually Oliver.


“Hello hun,” I said trying to sound like I had a sexy sultry voice but instead sounded like I was being chocked.


“Hello there.” Came a thick Texas accent voice on the other side.


He was born there and until recently, he had moved to New York when a good management position working at a developer's company was offered to him. Not too bad for your stereotypical cowboy raised around horses to have made it so successfully in a tough industry and so far away from home.


He was every girl's dream boy. He could charm the skirt off any lady. That combined with his ferocious sexual appetite was something that made me worry a little when he went on his business trips.


“How is my kitten this morning?”


“Missing you,” I said trying to change my voice now into a childish sweet one but again failing and doing one a little too high pitched. Maybe dolphin noises were not the way to go and opted to start using a normal one.


“When are you coming over to play?” I asked curling my hair between my fingers and starting to feel a little more awake and eager to be naked with Oliver between my bed sheets.

When he hears the intoxicating strains from Teagan’s violin, he can’t resist the beauty that quiets his aching soul, and he yearns to know the woman who creates such beauty.

 

Teagan finds sanctuary in her friendship with this connoisseur of music, but soon realizes Phin’s hiding more than his hideous scars. As they become entangled with each other, Teagan is stunned to learn they share more than a love of music.

They are caught in a web of deceit by someone threatening to reveal Phin’s secrets. His exposed past endangers Teagan, and he can no longer walk away.

This time he must face the enemy determined to defeat him. He’ll fight to the finish to protect the woman he can never love. No price is too high to keep buried the secret that will mark Teagan for destruction.

Then Gretchen Moore moves to town, and she doesn’t just stir up his desire. She stirs up his past, a past with a secret so deadly it could destroy her.

Gretchen wants nothing to do with JT. Because of him, someone wants her dead.

 

The terror from his past forces them into an alliance that soon ignites their passion. Fighting these feelings leads them to the secret of the woman floating in JT’s swimming pool, but the knowledge doesn’t ease JT’s inner turmoil.

What did you edit out of the books?


A ton! I keep a separate folder for scenes and characters I’ve removed from the final draft of the book and have posted these files on my website.

 

This file is called The Cutting Room Floor

https://laurahaleymcneil.com/cutting-room-floor/?doing-wp-cron=1547764863.6830930709838867187500

 


I’d written several books before I decided to save these excerpts so you won’t find these files for my earlier books. I don’t edit these files though I do perform a spellcheck, and I don’t post the excerpts in chronological order, but I do hope readers will find the excerpts interesting. In these folders are scenes and characters that no longer worked in the final story. Some of these cuts were my editor’s suggestions. When I write a book, I have so much I want to say. My editor goes through the manuscript and points out what makes the story lag and what deviates from the main theme of the book. Sometimes it’s difficult to remove these scenes that I believe have been so cleverly written, but my editor is wise and I trust her and into the delete files these scenes and characters go. I don’t look at these scenes again. Usually, my book has taken a tangent such that these scenes would never work again. I’ve often thought some of these characters would make an appearance in another book, but that hasn’t happened yet. It is difficult to remove a scene that has taken me days to write, but the story is the important part and I want to make sure that the reader sinks into the plot and characters without any information that would detract from the original purpose of the story. The reader is the most important part of writing a book. If I could stick to my outline, I’m sure I wouldn’t have so much to cut from my story, but once the story starts, I follow where the story leads and usually have to rewrite the outline to make sure I reach the desired ending. For one book, I rewrote the outline four times. The book kept taking a tangent that deviated from my original idea. I wrote the outline to keep my writing on track but alas it didn’t work and I wrote a book that was not what I had originally intended, but it was still a fun book to write.
