Two great female leads here. I enjoyed both past and present pov’s for Carly & Tabitha. They each have a unique story to be told. The author did a great job with Tabitha and her coming of age story. While I was intrigued with how she got to Pennsylvania from Oregon and back, it was not really as bold as her life story. She was bi polar and I guess that she just made bad choices. People do that when they are young. I will add that the story id NOT an easy one. It is tough at times to read the horror she grew up in and then the horror she was subjected to.

Carly Sloan’s life was perfect and then she drinks too much and it all goes to hell. Obviously there is a trauma suffered by her. I know that a lot girls should read this and NOT do what Carly does. I was having a shit fit with her and yelling a few times. I wanted to poke her and get her a wake up call. What a mess.

Kyle comes into Carly’s life and it is a relationship tale that is a graduated love story. This was the aspect I thought the author did a wonderful job on. As for the sub characters, she (Carly) has great friends and they were supportive of what I will refer to as her “ignorant choices”. They have a weekly “Wine Wednesday”meeting and there is a statement I loved about how it comes out but nothing they say leaves the room. Something more people should do. Cut the gossip and be there for one another. If you say you love me, then mean it. I don’t like how sometimes people throw that out and it loses the effect.

Overall a very emotional and gritty book. I loved it and I hope people see the warning before they think about reading it and making bad reviews. It is a little gritty and raw, so beware. There is a book 2.

Redemption.

Love.

Family.

Hi, my name is Delilah Sampson, and I am a self-proclaimed “frump girl.” My world came crashing down the day I walked in on my boyfriend having sex with my boss, rendering me single and jobless. A new job fell into my lap as the secretary of the gorgeous, rich, powerful, and mighty cocky controlling partner at the Santino Law Firm.

Andria Large Bio

Andria is married and a stay at home mother with two crazy little girls and two psychotic cats. She doesn’t go anywhere without her precious iPhone and a purse full of animal crackers. She used to be obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, but now is only mildly obsessed (still goes to every concert when they are in town). She loves cartoons and Disney movies, and can probably recite every line from Dumb and Dumber. Humor is a must in her life; otherwise, it would be completely boring. Pepsi is her weakness, along with anything chocolate. She can’t sing to save her life, but she pretends she can when she is alone in her car with the music blasting so that she can’t hear herself. And don’t mess with her family because she will fuck you up. She loves to read Romance. Paranormal, Scottish, Military, Police, Firefighters, Athletes, Cowboys and M/M are her favorite. She is not so much a fan of YA, though. If you haven’t been able to tell from reading her books, she likes – whether she is reading them or writing them – lots of hot steamy sex. Andria loves her fans and is always willing to chat. She works hard on her books, does not get offended easily, and has a pretty thick skin when it comes to negativity toward her work. She welcomes constructive criticism because she feels that is how one betters themselves, by taking that constructive criticism and using it. Andria’s books are her art, they are pieces of her, and she can only hope that people will like what she does. For those who don’t, she asks that you be respectful of her art. You don’t have to like it, but you don’t have to be mean about it either.

M.D. Saperstein Bio:

Hi! My name is M.D. Saperstein. I am currently a stay at home mom with my two gorgeous kids. I wasn’t always a full time mom, though. After graduating from the University of Florida – Go Gators! – I attended law school at Stetson University. I spent the next 10 years practicing law. I also spent some time counseling mental health patients in an out patient psychiatric hospital. But, until having my own children, my most rewarding job by far was licensing families to receive abused and neglected foster children.

So, that brings us to today. In my spare time, while my children were napping, I started editing novels for other authors. The more I edited, the more ready I felt to write my own. I just needed a new and exciting story line. Once Hey There, Delilah was conceived, the ball starting rolling very quickly. I hooked up with fellow author Andria Large, and we decided to tackle it together. Best decision ever!

I spend most of my free time with my husband and children. But when I get some “me” time, I love to read. Mostly romance and erotica, but I don’t discriminate – a good book is a good book, no matter the genre.

Interview

Are any of the situations or characters based on your life or events in your life?

Andria: Definitely. I think every author pulls things from their life and puts them into their characters. You almost have to, to make them real.

MD: Oh, yeah!   There is no way around it.  You have to write what you know. Spend some time with Andria and me, and you will think you are listening to Delilah and Charlie.

 Are there any sexual topics that you won’t write about?

Andria & MD:  Bestiality, incest, and sex with anyone under 18.  Those are definitely off the table.

 Have you read another author’s book and wondered why didn’t I come up with that?

Andria: All the time!

MD: For sure. We all have our own brand of crazy.

Andria: Ain’t that the truth!

 What are you reading right now? 

Andria: Nothing at the moment, been too focused on writing. Once I start on a book, if it’s good and I can’t put it down, then the writing doesn’t get done!

MD:  I read about a book every other day or so, so any answer I give here will be out dated in 48 hours! lol

What’s your favorite material object that you already own?

Andria: My iPhone, I think I’d die without it, lol.

MD:  I have to go with my iPad with more memory so I can buy more books. I just bought the new Air and I am like a pig in shit.

 What is your favorite quote?

Andria: “A family is a family not because of gender but because of values, like commitment, trust and love.”

MD:  “…Then in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

If your life story was made into a movie a) what would the title be? b) who would play you?

Andria: The title would probably be “The Movie about Nothing!” and I’ve been told a couple times that I look like Kate Hudson? I don’t know, I don’t really see it, but I’d like her to play me, she is so cute and I love her comedic side.

MD:  “The 101 Things I do Every Day!”  I am not sure who would play me. Definitely someone sarcastic, quick-witted, with a sharp tongue.
