Highly Anticipated Multicultural Romance Novel from Cassandra Black is Now Up for Grabs

Press Release:

Loving a Country Man (PART 2): Highly Anticipated Multicultural Romance Novel from Cassandra Black is Now Up for Grabs

November 28, 2014, United States - Cassandra Black is pleased to announce the launch of her new multicultural romance novel “Loving a Country Man (PART 2)” exclusively on Amazon.com. This new novel is the second installment in the series, published by Stone Cottage Books.

According to Author Cassandra Black, “The first part of Loving a Country Man, which takes place in a rural Colorado mountain town, was written as a stand-alone book. But readers wanted more of Raven and Dallas, so I happily penned part 2!”

While so many multicultural romance novels follow a rigid and repetitive format, Cassandra Black’s latest release stands out in the genre as something totally unique. Her second book in the “Loving a Country Man” series does away with the stereotypical characters and plots, instead opting for a narrative that focuses on the "realistic, real-life" circumstances and emotions of the couple "beyond" the honeymoon phase of a romance.

SYNOPSIS

Raven Monroe and Dallas Kincaid's journey to love continues in PART 2 as Raven returns to Gin River, a small, Colorado mountain town, to marry Dallas. But a family crisis presents circumstances no one could have foreseen. To make matters worse, Dallas’ old lover, Hope Leland, returns with a “surprise” of her own that just may be the last straw for Raven. Will family drama be too overwhelming for Raven and Dallas’ relationship? Will Hope Leland’s announcement ultimately drive Raven from Dallas’ life forever? Or will their love overcome all obstacles and give them both the one thing they’ve been searching for all of their lives?


“Loving a Country Man (PART 2)” is available now at:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O4QXDAU. (See http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6KS9J6 for Part 1 of the series.)

Realistic Character Portrayals in Romance Novel Writing

Realistic Character Portrayals in Romance Novel Writing

Loving a Country Man, Part 2, New Multicultural Romance Book


The second installment of the contemporary, multicultural romance novel, Loving a Country Man, authored by Cassandra Black, has been published by Stone Cottage Books.

_______

The second part of the popular, multicultural romance novel, Loving a Country Man, has just been released by Stone Cottage Books.

According to Author Cassandra Black, “The first part of Loving a Country Man, which takes place in a rural Colorado mountain town, was written as a stand-alone book. But readers wanted more of Raven and Dallas, so I happily penned part 2!”

Realistic Portrayal

This contemporary romance novella explores some real issues that will hit home with a lot of women today.

For example, Raven Monroe, the heroine, is a new mother in part two of this romance series.  As such, she gives up her life in the fast-paced city of Manhattan to move to a small, country town to be with her fiancĂ©, Dallas Kincaid.

The love story gives readers a close look at Raven’s world -- and emotional state -- as a new, stay-at-home mom, which suddenly encompasses daily duties that are the direct opposite of those she enjoyed as an independent, free-spirited businesswoman in New York City.  

The author pulls no punches as she delves into the realistic effects uprooting oneself -- and new motherhood -- can have on a new relationship.

Beyond ‘Happily Ever After’

In many romance novels, readers don't get to experience the characters’ realities beyond ‘happily ever after.’ However, in Loving a Country Man, Part 2, the author delves into the heroine’s emotions beyond the love she feels for the man she hopes to wed.

According to Ms. Black, “As a romance writer, I've always believed ‘contemporary’ romance should explore ‘contemporary’ issues.  As such, I try to write in a truthful, realistic way so my readers can really relate to my characters.  And based on much of the feedback I receive, I think I'm hitting a nerve. It is a fine line, because it’s hard to trump ‘happily ever after.’ But it can be done, and it doesn't mean the traditional romance formula has to be compromised.”

Book Overview -- Loving a Country Man

Part 1: Raven is in Gin River for her friend Amanda Taggart’s wedding. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” seems to be her destiny -- until she meets a simple, country man from the farm around the bend from Taggart Ranch. After just a little while, Raven realizes there’s more to the handsome farmer than meets the eye. 

Part 2:  Raven Monroe and Dallas Kincaid's journey to love continues in Loving a Country Man, Part 2, as Raven returns to Gin River to marry Dallas. But a family crisis presents circumstances no one could have foreseen. Will family drama be too overwhelming for Raven and Dallas’ relationship?  Or will their love overcome all obstacles and give them both the one thing they’ve been searching for all of their lives?

Good morning!

Good Saturday morning! I'm wide-eyed -- but not so bushy tailed this morning. Pulled an almost all-nighter, but not on purpose. A call re: meeting with contractor about fence work at cottage woke me last night, and I never could get back to sleep. Tried, in vain, so I got on up and got to work. Solid night of work, so no complaints:

EARLY PROOF BACK: Received the proof back for Loving a Country Man, Part 2 -- yes! -- and updated with changes. Soooo, release of this one may be even earlier than Thanksgiving Day. Stay tuned ... See http://cassandra-black-author.blogspot.com/2014/10/pre-order-loving-country-man-part-2.html for more details about this release.

SOURCING NEW AUTHORS: Sourcing new authors for another holiday release. (My publishing company recently started acquiring manuscripts from other authors.) Think I've found her, fingers crossed ...

Couple more hours of work before taking laundry up to place on cliffs, meeting with fence contractor at my little cottage in Negril -- http://cassandra-black-author.blogspot.com/2013/05/god-has-given-us-another-beautiful.html, and some much needed exercise on Beach Road. (Music wafting up the hill from 7 Mile Beach was pretty loud last night, so I'm dying to see all the new tourists who've filtered into Negril -- http://cassandra-black-author.blogspot.com/2013/11/life-in-jamaica-writing-writing-writing.html. We're right upon high season in Jamaica, and it's like night and day in this little country beach town during the season.)

Okay, coffee, coffee, coffee. Enjoy your day, and thank you for stopping by my blog!

LOVING A COUNTRY MAN (Multicultural Romance)

Romance Book:  LOVING A COUNTRY MAN (Multicultural Romance)

Amazon -- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6KS9J6

 See book overview below:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6KS9J6


OVERVIEW:

Raven Monroe and Dallas Kincaid’s paths finally cross at a gas station in a rural Colorado town, after having both lived in Manhattan for years and never meeting.

Raven is in Gin River for her friend Amanda Taggart’s wedding. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” seems to be her destiny -- until she meets a simple, country man from the farm just around the bend from Taggart Ranch. After just a little while, Raven realizes there’s more to the handsome farmer than meets the eye.

_______________

Dallas Kincaid vowed to never return to Gin River, Colorado. The little country town never felt like home, and he left as soon as he was of age, feeling more at home in big cities like Manhattan -- where no one knew his past. But after meeting Raven Monroe, the desire to settle down and start a family in a quiet enclave like Gin River is stronger than ever.

But will Dallas be able to come to terms with his past and embrace everything that belongs to him -- both good and bad -- so he can have the one thing he’s always coveted?


And can Raven forget her own past and let him in? Or will demolishing the wall she built after what happened to her be too high a price to pay for happiness that’s not guaranteed …
