Submit to Him

By: Sascha Illyvich

If you have red or know of me, you know I love to read Sascha’s work. To this date, I still have the same favorite book, and I keep waiting for that to change, but thus far, ‘Taken Unaware’ is and always has been my favorite book of his.

Reinhold is a character I enjoy, because he is an Alpha wolf in one of the oldest wolf packs in the Mid-West. Because of his name, I see Judge Reinhold as his face, but his build is much more masculine, and very devout. But the face of Judge Reinhold, if you know him, (I will include a photo.) is cute, and a sincere one. With a body that is masculine, knowing he is an Alpha male wolf, you know, this is someone whose arms you would be safe in.

The best thing about this book, is there are these three magical sisters: Theresa, Crissy and Lynne. And Theresa, she is the youngest of these sisters, and she has to learn about herself, and her magical powers. One of the things that Theresa must learn to do, is learn how to submit. Now mind you, Theresa is stubborn, and she is young, and those two things just don’t coincide.

Reinhold only has so much patience, and Theresa’s stubbornness is pushing his limits. He is starting to realize that maybe, just maybe walking away from this nonsense is the only choice he has left.

The sisters do try and convince Theresa that he needs to submit to him, they even explain everything to her. They show her that the end results will be something she will have never experienced, and even longed for, and it will be everything she ever desired.

Still, uncertain, Theresa has a battle of wits with herself, and she teases Reinhold, and tests him, and enjoys the test of time.

But the question remain, will she submit to him?

This is where I leave you, because I don’t want to give everything away. I will tell you, this book, will entice you and wake up those desires and make you want to submit to Reinhold, in Theresa’s place. Because as you read, you will be ready, willing and able.

This book is a delicious five-star read. Honestly, it kept me on my toes, telling Theresa to do things, and wondering why on Earth, even how, she could deny him. But then again, to each is own, I suppose.

Here are my questions for Sasha:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

Again, with a book that took quite a few years. The original drafts take me no more than a month or two, depending on the length of the story, maybe I might spend three months from start to finish on a draft. Then I did edits, and life got in the way. I think I wrote this in 2012 but every time I’d try to pull it up to get it into shape, nothing came to me. The thing is, it was written to be part of a trilogy and Totally Bound had accepted the partial, but I lost contact with them a year later when I was moving from Oakland to San Francisco, and again from there to Tennessee. When I was looking at some of my work on my desk as I occasionally do, I realized that this story just needed an ending that made sense and something that would make the original inspiration proud. I couldn’t give it to TEB, my editor had long gone off to different things. But I believe this story appeared as part of a second boxed set that featured 5 other paranormal romance authors. And when that ran its course I took it over to City Lights to see what awesome they could do.

2. Who designed this beautiful cover?

That again, would be Rachel Del. Grasso of City Lights fame.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us?

Shar is a redhead, curvy, could be described as a BBW who likes wearing sexy red lingerie to match the pale tone of her skin. As to Reinhold, I mean….no?

4. What are you working on now?

A paranormal MC romance involving a Fae trucker heroine with a surprise and a biker vampire who is trying to steal the cargo she’s hauling across Faery. I’m (as of this writing) 40k in for this story that’ll be released on Feb 18^th of 2018 I believe, through the I Love Vampire Novels people.

5. What motivates you to write?

The answer hasn’t really changed but over time I suppose I’ll eventually have to be honest with someone about it.

6. If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?

There is no such thing as writers block. It’s a bullshit construct for lazy authors who didn’t do their plotting properly and don’t understand story structure. Seriously, put some damn words on the page and edit it later. You can’t fix a blank page.

7. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?

Don’t quit your day job. Try the bukkake udon. (Or just the bukkake!) Seriously, grow a thick skin, and don’t kid yourself about self-publishing. You need a team behind you and that includes editors and people who tell you how to improve. Find those who will butcher your work but give you constructive criticism. This isn’t just for editors of houses and to suggest that self-publishing is not viable, but remember with that, you start out with a negative ROI on your personal TIME.

Having a publishing house put you through the wringer, or maybe you hire editors who do the same, will give you confidence to go forward and continue making your dreams reality if this is what you want.

8. How long have you been writing?

As of this interview, 19 years, published from day one. I know I have talent, I’m a great writer. My stories are great, my readers are the best. But let’s not forget one fact here: At the beginning? I got lucky. And I was smart enough to jump on that luck. I came across so many talented authors when I was editing more that you’d have been stoked to read, but then I came across some authors who had talent but didn’t pursue it.  I came across authors who I couldn’t help back in the early days, who I know would have sold because they had talent. So yes, 95% of this is skill, that little luck makes a HUGE difference.

9. What are your hobbies?

Chess, mostly. Stock investing, options trading, the education I’m getting just paper trading is amazing. Cigars are a lifestyle, not a hobby. Music. When I go back to California I’ll bring my 5 string electric bass guitar back Georgia and irritate my neighbors with THALL! 

10. Do you put yourself into your characters?

Still, nope. No longer on purpose the way it once was.

11. Where is your favorite place to write?

My office.  Thanks to Loved Ones it’s becoming an actual living space, rather than an overpriced office that happens to have a bed and a chair and a place to smoke cigars in.
