“You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”
I am a girl that loves to be in love! I like all the romantic gestures, you
know the walks in the park (or beach), a kiss on the collarbone, a note that
says I miss you or I love you hidden in my favorite book or holding pinky’s
with one another like the picture above!
It hit me one this is why I write romance! I can live out all of my dreams
through my characters. I can write crazy stuff like how randomly the characters
can meet or if there is an instant attraction and if it builds slowly. The
point of it all is that I can factor my ideas of romance to the masses and in
turn fulfilled when they love it!
Every now and again an author transports me into the world that they have
created. Liz Schulte happens to be one of those authors.
When I finished secret I screamed and sent a dirty message to Liz about
leaving me high and dry like that but thankfully I had Choices ready to go...
Choices picks up right where Secrets left off and you don't see Olivia right
away but you do see Holden and I love Holden! Quintus is back for the ride and
Olivia arrives in grand style naked! I love that each of the main characters
tell their version of the story and that you can see what happening from each
vantage point. A small time love tri-angle begins to brew but the shocker is
the ending!
The newest addition to the trilogy is Femi and I love her too! She is smart
and lethal. She is the type of friend every girl should have! I mean who
doesn't love a girl that can kick a guy ass!
The book has it all eternal love, romance, bloody deaths and kick ass fight
scenes so what's not to love!
Hearts break. Loved ones are lost. Life keeps moving.
Olivia Martin’s afterlife was more dangerous and confusing than her life ever was. She thought she was ready to come back, to forget about Holden and to let go of the rage consuming her. Fulfilling her destiny as a guardian was all that mattered—the past could stay hidden in the crevices of her mind. However, when guardians are murdered and the evidence points towards jinn, she has to do something. To save anyone’s future, Olivia will have to confront the one person from her past she is terrified to see.
Holden waited for Olivia with the hope he would see her one more time. But when she didn’t return, he found salvation in darkness. The black and twisted road made it easier to forget what he lost than to live with the memory of what he had. An unexpected promotion shoves him into a world of intoxicating power and influence. Holden will have to choose between his new life and the woman he thought was gone forever.
From the ashes of Secrets, Choices are born that will change everything.

Guest Post by H.A. Caine: A few of my favorite quotes out of From Love & Pain
My favorite character in From Love and Pain is Jaxon, hands down. He may not be the Alpha man in this story, but he's far from being the Beta. His strength is quiet but unmistakable. I hope my readers fall for him just as hard as Adrian (and I) have.
1. "I feel like I just got the shit beaten out of me." (Jaxon to Daniel)
This is my all time favorite line from From Love and Pain. Jaxon's 'never back down, never give up' attitude just calls out to me and I can't help but want to stand up and cheer for him. When he gets knocked down, he never hesitates to get right back up and I got to love him for it.
I also love this one: 2."I promise you Melissa, the day you get married not only will I give you away to the lucky guy, I'll marry you to him." (Jaxon to Melissa)
I have three older brothers. We fight, we bicker, we scream hateful words. But we're always there for each other. I know I can depend on them if I need them, and I hope they know the same. These are only two of my favorites, but I have a bunch more. I spent a lot of time thinking over what everyone was going to say and reactions to every written word. These two quotes are my all time favorites.

From Love & Pain:
29 year old Adrian ran away from an imprisoning and abusive household at the age of 19. For years he ran, living on the streets and in shelters, taking crappy jobs to save a little money. Ten years of struggling and now he is a successful partner of a security company. Under the guise of running the security company, Adrian and his best friend and the people who work for them help others who live unfortunately. Like Adrian, not one of his employees have a nice past. They're all running from something, never letting their guards down and they don't want others to suffer as they have. But Adrian makes the mistake of falling in love with a young man when he's 27. For a while, he gets to experience what it's like to be a normal man. He never thought he could be happy, but Jaxon makes him the happiest man in the world. Only it can't last and Adrian is forced to leave or risk Jaxon's life. But his demons caught up with him long before he realized and now no ones safe. Can Adrian save Jaxon before it's too late? And can Jaxon forgive him for walking away?
Jaxon laughed softly as he remembered the fun night they had after dinner that day. When they had awakened the next day they were both covered in ingredients needed to make perfect banana splits and the hardwood floor was covered with chocolate and caramel syrup. It had taken them hours to clean the whole mess, but neither one complained, remembering the night before.
It still hurt Jaxon when he thought of Adrian's disappearance. That night Adrian had told Jaxon that he loved him too so he knew it wasn't that, that had scared him off. But he knew Adrian well enough to know that he had a reason for what he had done.
Jaxon only wished Adrian had taken the time out to tell him what that reason was. He would’ve done everything in his power to help the man he loved. There wasn't a day that went by that Jaxon didn't miss him. He knew that no matter what happened he would always love Adrian.
And he knew that where ever Adrian was a part of him still loved Jaxon, too.
