Indelible By: Alexis Kennedy

INDELIBLE

by Alexis Kennedy

With the cover of this book, those blue eyes just grab you and pull you in. Actually, they do more then that, they make you crave opening the book and desire reading it. Seriously, but I am good with anything by this author, her work is always entertaining, so I know I want to read it even before opening the book.

Upon opening the book, we are meeting once again the beautiful red head Scarlett Vanderwall. And I am glad, I just loved her character before, she has a great personality, honestly, I feel parts of her are much like the author, but that’s just me. Saying this will get this review deleted, if it even posts. Truth. All because I am a big fan of this author, and this review is justifiably, my version of the truth.

Anyway; as I was saying.

Scarlett and Ivan are headed on yet another journey. It’s just that this time, they are trying to rescue Ivan’s sister from Ivan’s own former boss, who is a Norwegian crime Lord. The man is known as Kieran ‘The Punisher.’ If that doesn’t just say it all, what does?

Thanks to Scarlett and her own ‘style’ of associates, she and Ivan manage to gather together the gear they need. Some weaponry and such, and embark on their journey, one that they hope, they will be able to return from.

As they are on their journey, Scarlett is still receiving phone calls from the DEA agent Aiden Bradley and one CIA supervisor Collin Kincaid. The alphabet soup group keep begging her to come back and work for them.

Then Scarlett receives word of a posing threat on the United States itself, and realizes she is in fact needed. Scarlett must be forced to decide, and her thoughts are put between a rock and a hard place.

Scarlett has a dark life beckoning for her in the back of her own mind, and she wants to give in. And the needs of the good ole USA are important to her too. And Ivan’s sister, will this be the last fight of her life after all?

Wait; what? You wanted me to give you the scoring details? Not happening. You need to read the book yourself, just like the rest of us, that’s cheating!

What I can do is tell you this: this book is a fantabulous read, five stars, even. And I enjoyed it, because I wanted to know the choices that Scarlett would make. And I was worried about that evil crime boss, and I wanted him to get what he deserves. And I understand how jobs nag at you, as well as wanting to do the right thing, and even wanting to resort to a dark side. Sometimes the dark side can be fun and entertaining. But you are going to have to read the book yourself. You’ll like it, so go on. Go get your own copy!

Here are my questions for Alexis:

1. What made you decide to write this book and how long did it take you? I wrote it as the sequel to Two Faced because I loved writing Two Faced and knew Scarlett had more stories to share. It took me about 3 months to write it.

2. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters? Photos are attached. Here’s how I think of them: Scarlett Vanderwall is unstoppable, untouchable, cool, confident, intelligent, beautiful, suave, fearless, sexy, sly, secretive—and she has the conviction that she will always get what she wants.

Ivan Stanislovsky is handsome, charismatic, daring, strong, dangerous, smart—and ready to face any challenge in an assignment.

Scarlett

Ivan with a gun

3. Did you put yourself into any of these characters? Just my sarcasm lol.

4. Which of the characters is your favorite? Scarlett is my favorite, and if I could be like her, I would be.

5. Does writing ever try to put itself in the way of your life, by insisting that you write? (Like for example when you're trying to sleep.) Yes, always when I’m trying to sleep. Since I started writing, I stay home more often. I just need my dog and my PC. I carry a notepad in my purse, so when I’m waiting at the doctors office or wherever, I can write.

6. Do you enjoy writing, if so, why? I love it. I like creating worlds I can control when I feel like my own life is out of control.

7. What do you think of Amazon deleting reviews? (Please explain in detail, with your change.org link.)  https://goo.gl/RTFNHj  I hate it. It’s hard enough to make money writing, but then they lessen our chances of gaining new readers by removing our reviews. Here’s what I told the BBB: They claim our reviewers are biased, as if we aren't entitled to have fans. It's ridiculous for them to assume that they know what a reviewer is thinking when they post a review, and it's ridiculous for them to assume that the reviewer is a liar. If they doubt the reviews, perhaps they should read the book and see for themselves and post their own reviews. They are violating the first amendment. Our readers, who are their customers, have the right to express their personal opinions about our books.

8. Have you ever met any of your fans, and if so, how was that experience for you? I did a book signing at Penned Con once, but I was a stranger to those people. However, in March, I’m going to be making a personal appearance at a book club, who is starting Indelible now, and I’m very excited about that.

9. What is your upmost favorite book of all time? My favorite book is Scandalous. I’m totally in love with my hero, Adrian Casimir. I poured love and romance into the story and left room for plenty of laughter and a few tears.

10. What are your hobbies? Other than writing, I really don’t do much else. Health issues keep me under house arrest most of the time. I enjoy playing with my dog and spending family time with my parents and my 18-year-old son.

11. Where is your favorite place to write? In my office with TV reruns on in the background.

Scandalous By: Alexis Kennedy

Scandalous

By: Alexis Kennedy

This book, did you see the cover? I love it! I have a similar painting like this is my craft room, without the girl, but its ships with an orange sky. What?! You don’t want to hear about that? Oh. The book. Got it, my bad.

Well, it takes place a long, long time ago in 1860. There’s this guy, whose name is Adrian Casimir. But in all honesty, he is really Captain Bain Navarre, who happens to be a pirate on the high seas. However, he has disguised himself as Adrian and as a shipping mogul.

Now, there’s this lady, her name is Farrah Devore, her father has recently been widowed, and he is a plantation owner. Farrah, is struggling with the loss of her mother, and a courtship to a man she doesn’t even want to be with: Ethan Abrams.

Farrah’s eye’s catch the view of the handsome pirate, and she can’t help but feel her insides stir, as her desires awaken, and needs she never even knew she had come alive.

Adrian has plenty up his sleeve, and everyone knows they are not meant to be, but when a woman has wants and needs, she isn’t about to let anything get in her way. However, even family will stop at nothing to interfere with her new-found desires.

And this is a time where a nation is being ripped apart by hatred, war is the answer for everything, and brothers will fight against brothers, and it doesn’t really matter who is right in the long run. So, let me ask you this, do you honestly think love can survive, and conquer all? And do you think it is meant to be? What will become of the pirate and Farrah if anything?

You must buy this book yourself to find out, I can’t just give you all of the answers! The only thing I will tell you, is this: Alexis Kennedy is a wonderful writer, and she will keep you guessing, and wanting more, as you follow her through her ‘Scandalous’ words. She promises an excellent read, and has done just that with an excellent five-star book, once again!

My questions for Alexis:

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

          I wanted to try writing historical romance since it’s a new genre to me, and I really enjoyed it. It took me 24 days to write it.

2. Who designed this beautiful cover?

          I chose the photos, and The Magic Quill Graphics designed it.

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

          Farrah Devore is a strong willed and fearless young lady. She’s mourning her mother and trying to be a proper Southern belle for her father’s sake. When she meets Adrian Casimir, she feels the first feelings of desire and love. Opposed to the idea of marrying the man her father wants to force upon her, she runs away to find Adrian.

          Adrian Casimir is my favorite book boyfriend! He’s dashing, of course, strong, clever, kind, sexy, and courageous. He’s a shipping mogul in Arlington, Virginia, but he’s Bain Navarre, pirate captain of the Night Marauder, on the high seas.

4. What are you working on now?

          I’m writing Pin-Up Girl, a choose-your-own adventure book, at the moment. I used to love those books when I was a kid. 😊 Set in 1954, it is the adventure of wallflower Amelia Green as a photographer discovers her and helps her realize her dream of being a star.

5. Where do you get your story ideas from?

          I’ve always had an active imagination, but sometimes a movie or television show, or even just a conversation with someone, will inspire a book. Sometimes, I come up with the title first, like with Angry House, and then I’ll come up with the story to go with it.

6. Have you ever received a negative review? If so, why do you think people leave one star reviews? 

          Yes, I’ve had one-star reviews before; thankfully, not many. One that I remember is one where the reviewer admitted to not even reading the whole book. She skipped whole sections. In that case, I don’t feel the review was warranted. I understand that not every book is for everyone, but I believe in being fair with your reviews. If you didn’t even use the product, how can you honestly review it?

          Why do people leave one-star reviews? I’m not sure, but I guess they might be reading outside of their usual genre, and it just wasn’t for them. Also, maybe the characters seemed flat. I read a book once that had such a slow start, it took me about eight tries to finally read it, and then I liked it. She just needed to fix the beginning, which was boring.

7. Did you imagine yourself becoming an Author when you were younger? Was that one of your dreams as a child?

          No, I wanted to be a veterinarian or teacher when I was little. I became a teacher in the end. I’ve been writing poetry since I was 14 as a way to deal with my feelings when my older brother died. My first novel was a short story that I wrote for a boyfriend in 2009. I kept looking at it and decided it was good enough to turn into a book. Thus, Bound Through Blood came to fruition.

8. Have you ever thrown a manuscript away?

          No, not yet. 😊

9. What is your favorite thing about being a writer?

          When readers beg me for more. I also like escaping into worlds I can control when I feel like I’ve lost control of my life.

10. Do your characters ever tell ‘you’ what to write, per se?

          Yes, I don’t plot my stories out. I go with the flow and what my characters want. I like to watch everything unravel and reveal itself.

11. Who is your favorite Author of all time? 

          Shannon Drake
