Carmen DeSousa

College and career are hard enough without bringing love into the mix, so the last thing Jesse is looking for is a spring break fling. His future entails getting an MBA and taking over the reins of his father's small-time plumbing company and making it successful. He doesn’t have time for a girl, especially not one who's related to the spoiled rich girl who broke up his last relationship. One week with Kayla, though, changes everything.  Eighteen and in love, Jesse and Kayla now have everything they've ever wanted--until tragedy strikes. Now, thrust into a world of heartbreak and grief, others insist they are too young. But when you find the love of your life, no matter how young you are, no matter what happens, the only thing you can do is hold on and LOVE LIKE CRAZY.

No...I haven't read  Fifty Shades of  Grey ... not even the sample, but... Before you think that I'm a prude, hang in there with me ... you might agree. The thing is...I  have no trouble with the book  Fifty Shades of  Grey --or most erotic books for that matter. In fact, it shocked one of my writing communities when I--a Christian--disagreed with Smashwords attempt to censor books. See ... the way I see it, if we start censoring books, eventually they'll start censoring everything. And who draws that line? Some people have even accused me of writing  Mommy Porn . I assure you, I don't, though. But that's the point. Someone will always have their clean monitor set higher or lower, so who knows where that fence is. I do, however, think anything regarding underage children or abuse against beings that cannot defend themselves, should be censored, because one, it's vile, and two, it's an illegal act. T wo consenting adults, though... I just don...

Skipping over my boring routine from five am to eight am, I want to share what I do between eight and ten, and a little thing about books I noticed today... At eight am, I decide which books I will promote for other authors. If you didn't know, I love to help out my fellow authors--and myself naturally--by promoting books on GreatBooksGreatDeals.com Well, today, I happened to be reading a two-star review of a book, about the fact that there wasn't enough angst ... and that she gave up less than half the way... Ummm ... can anyone say climax? Oh well, I understand ... sort of. If a book doesn't hold my attention, I give up. But ... that doesn't mean I need fireworks. Call me old-fashioned, but I love the slow burn of a relationship ... or sometimes just getting to know the character. If getting to know them keeps my interest, I don't need fireworks and car chases. I enjoy the ride. Of course, there's always a climax, but unlike so many new novels ...

All the novels in the Southern Romantic-Suspense Collection are stand-alone stories--NO CLIFFHANGERS--but each book has a slight connection to one of the other books, so after reading one, you can continue the journey and meet different protagonists with different issues and tragedies to overcome, and yet still get a glimpse of your previous friends. Every story has a mystery, there’s always a gentle message, and above all, there’s always romance and suspense. Download the first in the collection for less than a latte! From there, all my novels are priced between $2.99 and $4.99, so you can afford to read them all for a fraction of the price some publishers charge.  :) Books are listed in order of release date.
