First let me
just say that I've had quite a few people comment that this book was apparently
going to be 'very sexy' and I had some emails from younger readers ask if they
were going to be able to read the book because they figured I was going to tag
it as New Adult because of the sex. The answer is absolutely not. I'm not going
to start a YA series and make the last book NA and too sexed up, that wouldn't
be fair to the readers. Caleb and Maggie are getting more intimate with each
other, but I promise you it won't go too far. The teasers I've been showing you
were the more intimate ones just because they were the most fun to write and I
had it on the brain, but this book will be YA. J And anyone who complains
(because I've gotten those emails too, begging for me not to hold back on the
details) that it is going to be YA and not describe the 'after marriage' stuff,
sorry. It's a YA series and it's not fair to change the last book to a different
level or genre.
Now, here's the teaser. Thank you!
"No matter what I said, you were
still going to move ahead with your plan," Peter mused and opened his arm
for Rachel to come into. She scooted over and they looked at each other for a
few seconds before he looked back at Caleb. "Am I right?"
Caleb smiled wryly. "Yes,
sir."
Peter nodded and smiled. "I
figured. You've always been a little bit rebellious. That star on your
shoulder." He gave him a pointed 'fatherly' look. "Joining the swim
team instead of going out for football. Leaving during Kyle's graduation party
when everyone was waiting for you." He sighed and laughed soundlessly.
"I guess…it all worked out for you."
"Yes, sir," Caleb whispered
and pulled me to kiss my temple. "It did."
And
I love that star tattoo.
He grinned down at me. "I
know."
Something hit me then as I stared up
at the grin I never wanted to be away from. We only had two days left until the
wedding.
Two. Days.
OMG! Can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for Independence!
ReplyDeleteCant wait for this
ReplyDeletePlease please don't start writing books that get detailed in the bedroom! You do a wonderful, amazing job at creating tension without getting dirty. It is one of the reasons I buy your books :) I love that I don't have to worry about what I call 'glorified porn'. Your books are awesome and original and I cannot wait for Independence!! Thanks for sharing your talents. And, no, I am not a YA. I am married with a child; I just don't like to read dirty stuff :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to worry about that with me :) Thank you!
Deleteahhhhhhhh soo excited seriously cannot wait for this book to be out!!!! and I don't think it matters if you get too intimate but just remember not to leave everything out, because I know some of us, like me still get swoony when they kiss, and of course because Caleb is just so swoon-worthy its slightly rediculous and has definitely influenced my idea of the perfect man :)
ReplyDeletemaybe you could write some of the more intense scenes and publish them in a little smashwords type thing,if you wanted to! :D
ReplyDeleteI"m super excited for the next book. I think the super intimate parts can be be made to be intense and sexy without being all in your face and make you blush in embarrassment. Just like Quinn Loftis in the Grey Wolves or Stephanie Meyer in Twilight. Those marriage scenes were tasteful but left you with something you couldn't forget. I think any young reader could say it was in good taste and it wouldn't make you feel like you needed to go to confession.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping the material suitable for younger readers! It's getting rarer and rarer these days.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification and staying true to who you are. You can give sexy without being smuty and allow the young readers to read without blushing. Besides, there's always something said to leaving the best things to the imagination, right? Can't wait for this book, Maggie and Caleb's story is the sweetest and it's timeless in my opinion. I hope the movie does it justice. To me, Christmas comes early this year...hurry up Dec 18th!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this book to come out! I am getting this book as a Birthday gift!(hopefully) I can't wait to see what will happen next! Sad for this series to end:( this by far is one of my favorite series! So amped up for the movie! Keep doing the great work because I love it!! :)
