Saturday Spankings - July 26


Saturday again and more snippets! It’s still going to be a while before book four is out so I’m going to continue on where I left off last week with another snippet from the second book, Cassie’s Tale. Last week Sue was terrified when she found Cassie covered in blood – you can find that snippet here.  I don’t want to give away too much, but I will tell you Cassie is okay – even if Sue may not be. 

Sue’s phone rang. She glanced at it and then at me and I panicked. “Don’t tell him. Sue, please don’t say anything – I’m fine, just tell him that,” I pleaded.
If looks could kill, I would’ve been dead at my kitchen table. Sue stalked out the door and slammed it behind her. I found out soon enough that she spilled her guts. Sue and I would do anything in this world to protect one another and we have no qualms about keeping things secret from husbands, but I’m afraid I frightened her too badly.

Next week we hear a little of what Tom had to say.

There are three Cassie books now (soon to be four!) - I hope you'll read them all.

Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. To nearly all who know her now, Cassie is a vivacious, sweet southern lady, who is the epitome of grace and proper behavior. Look a tiny bit closer and you’ll see that Cassie has another side – the one whose language could make a sailor blush as she drinks him under the table.
 Thanks to her loving husband Tom, who even after thirty years of marriage, never hesitates to put Cassie over his knee when she strays too far from his view of ladylike behavior, few people other than close old friends know this side of Cassie exists.
Cassie and Tom show that love and passion are not the sole property of the young. Love and passion grows and changes with age. While aging may bring on challenges – the love and passion between these two people only grows stronger.

Cassie continues to live life to the fullest, from wheeling around in her new sports car to mastering the art of riding a motor scooter with no hands, she manages to keep Tom on his toes. The fly in the ointment is that Tom’s firm wants him back for a project and Cassie wants him all to herself.  When Tom takes the job, Cassie is left lonely and bored – never a good combination for her.
Left to her own devices Cassie makes some poor decisions, frightening Sue and causing Tom to lower the boom. Tom's new schedule for Cassie, including her getting a job, leaves her little time to get herself in trouble – yet she still manages.

Cassie’s on the move and loving life. Through paint ball game in the woods and water park adventure she’s gets to know her new neighbors as the new house is renovated. 
     Cassie is traveling too, from trips with just the girls, to conventions, vacations, and cruises with Tom and friends, she's always ready for the next adventure. But when Cassie begins having dizzy spells Tom thinks a slower pace is in order. Getting Cassie to slow down and take care of herself proves to be quite a challenge. A challenge Tom is more than determined to take on.

  1. Poor Cassie, but I agree with Sue. Some things must not be kept from Dear Husbands.

  2. I'm with Melody here. Sounds like whatever she did that scared Sue should have been told. Great snippet :)

    1. Sue would protect Cassie from anything, including Tom, but for this she is stepping back.

    1. Then again Cassie sees it all as a minor mistake and doesn't think she's done anything really wrong.

  6. There is a limit when friends have to step over that line and do what they think is best for you. Sue did.

    1. There you and Cassie differ - she would have loved to miss the whole conversation.

  8. I'm worried they have no qualms keeping secrets from their husbands. Uh-oh.

    1. I just can't give away all the secrets in snippets.

  11. I still want to know what happened here. Though I think the right choice was made, sometimes its a really bad idea to keep secrets.

    1. Sue did what she had to do, but Cassie still feels it wasn't as serious as it seemed to Sue.

  12. She loves her enough to rat her out. It is quandary though--when your BFF asks you to do something that you know is not in her best interest.

    1. Sue has kept bigger secrets, but since she was truly scared she told Tom everything. That can indeed, be a hard choice.

  13. Oh, oh! I know what's next. Tom lowers the boom! (I read the blurb, lol) Nice intriguing snippet, PK. Way to have everyone hungry for more.
