In today’s snippet,
something upset Cassie and Sue greatly and falling back on old bad habits they
decided to drowned their sorrows. Once Tom found out, Cassie felt she knew what was coming, but she
was in for a surprise.
Tom turned my
face to him. “You know my feelings on your drinking. The amount you drank was
dangerous. You evidently fell and hurt yourself – yet you don’t even remember
doing it. You caused Annie and Lily to lose a night’s sleep babysitting you and
you frightened them both and you hurt Lily’s feelings. Yes, I think you deserve
a spanking.”
I shivered a
little in his arms. As much as I can annoy Tom, serious spankings are becoming
rare in our home and I hate them. I hate them for the obvious reason, but I’ve
also realized how much Tom hates to give them. His feelings and mine add
together to make it a sad, upsetting experience for us both.
“But I’m not going to spank you,” Tom finally went on.
I was stunned. I sat up to look at him, had I heard right?
“When Lily told us all that happened she asked Steve and me not
to spank either of you for this.”
“What? She was so mad – I thought she was about to do it
herself? I swear I thought she’d hand you the brush. Why would she try and stop
you?”

Cassie’s Life (Book 10)
Ask Cassie about her life on the river and she’ll tell you it’s lovely and peaceful. But while Cassie loves the life she lives, peaceful is not always an accurate description. Whether she’s confronting an armed man who’s in a drunken rage, planning a friend’s wedding or dealing with a ghost in a backwoods lodge, Cassie is going to deal with it the best way she knows how. And peaceful doesn’t always work.
When a mysterious phone call comes for Cassandra Wentworth – Cassie’s past is suddenly back to haunt her in a devastating way. Tom has always said nothing from before the time they met counts, but he didn’t know about this. Sue, Annie, Allie and Jenny are all willing to help, but will it be enough?

LOL, that's why I put up snippets!
DeleteThis fun book is full of surprises. Some were like this - thought-provoking and opened discussion. Others were suspenseful and fun.
ReplyDeleteI started to read this out loud to my DH the other night and he didn't want me to stop. You have another fan in our house now!
Now that made my day! Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteWhy do I get the feeling she'll wish she was spanked by the end of it all? Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI'll just say the long term consequences are not what she had hoped.
DeleteLilly is able to stay Tom, huh. I know this isn't the end of this.
ReplyDeleteTom thinks a great deal of Lily. You might be surprised.
DeleteWhat? No spanking? There's gotta be much more! :)
ReplyDeleteCould be. You'll have to read on.
DeleteSometimes not being spanked is worse than the alternative, even harsh punishment spankings. You feel as though things have been left unresolved between you.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. But Tom knows Cassie inside and out. He's always do what's best for her.
DeleteI just finished Cassie's Life for the 2nd time last night. Now I am starting to percolate and think about a book review for this wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sometimes it is worse to know you have caused someone you love to be unhappy. Thanks for the snippet, PK, and even more for letting Cassie live in your head.
Love You,
Ella
Thank you Ella. She is certainly a joy to me.
DeleteOh dear. That sounds ominous. I bet her mind is going with what might happen instead! Great snippet :)
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt she is wondering what's going on. Thanks for stopping by.
