It’s Saturday
again! My summer vacation officially starts Monday afternoon and I need plenty
to fill up my Kindle, I can’t think of a better place to start than at the best
blog hop ever.
I’m sticking
with snippets from Cassie’s Influence. After Cassie and Tom spot Allie in the
tiniest bathing suit ever, Cassie reminisces about a time during the first year
of their marriage, when Tom didn’t exactly approve of her bathing suit choice. After
Tom insists Cassie change, Cassie tries to ease her anger by complaining to Sue
on an impromptu shopping trip.
"Tom didn't like my new bathing suit, he said it was
inappropriate for a married woman to wear in public."
"Oh good grief!" Sue moaned. "What's his
problem? He's more old fashion than my granny. That suit looks great on you,
just wear it and tell him to kiss your ass."
"I can't – it's cut up in little pieces," I told
her.
"What? That son-of-a-bitch! He didn't? Cassie, you need
to kick his ass to the curb."
Sue was steamed and while I liked her being
mad on my behalf, I had to tell her I was the one who cut it up. She laughed then, "In that case, good for
you, but tell me why in the world, after all that, are you going out to find a
bathing suit he'd approve of?"
I turned to give Sue a small smile. "Who says he's
going to approve of it?"
Blurb:
Intentionally or not, Cassie’s influence spreads. Sue’s marriage had improved through Cassie’s influence. However when Sue’s marriage unexpectedly takes a turn for the worse, Sue pushes for the solution she feels will work, a solution that could put Cassie on a collision course with the ivory brush.
Allie and Ryan are both feeling influence from Cassie and Tom. Cassie doesn't mean to lead Allie astray - but Allie sees Cassie as a role model. Every adventure, old or new, captures Allie's attention which increases her desire to be more like her mentor. But for better or worse, Ryan is just as determined to be like Tom.
The Cassie books don’t have to be read in order, but if you are ready to jump in the first four can now be found in the Cassie Box Set. It’s a great deal.
Keep on reading for more great snippets this week.
I like the way Cassie thinks, though I'm not sure why she cut up her suit if she intends to go against Tom's wishes anyway. Guess I need to read the book... Love the snippet P.K.
ReplyDeleteYes read the book! I'd love that. Cassie is cutting off her nose to spite her face.
DeleteLovely little snippet. Haven't started this one yet. Saving it for holiday read.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteIf you like the true to life stories (and I really do) you'll love Cassie and Tom. Please just jump in with this one, you can read out of order and maybe it will have you wanting to go back to read the others.
DeleteOh, I remember this and the outcome too.
ReplyDeleteLet me see if I remember, did Tom say, "Oh never mind, it's all right."?
DeleteLoved the scene, PK!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Everyone should have a partner in crime like Sue.
DeleteGreat one! You go Cassie! She is so spunky!
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't like to be told what to do, and she was even worse when they were first married.
DeleteOh no. I predict that a spanking is in Cassie's future.
ReplyDeleteYep, this won't make Tom happy!
DeleteLoved this snippet PK. I do so love Cassie's spunk. Wonder if the new suit will end up cut up too?
ReplyDeleteHugs
