Fall is a strange time of the year for me. I love the changing colors of the leaves, but I hate seeing the leaves fall. When I lived on the east coast, putting on a warm sweater and wrapping myself up in a big blanket to read seemed like heaven after the sweltering heat of the summer. But since I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I’m always cold. I wear sweaters almost all year long. Does that surprise you? It sure as heck surprised me! One good thing about living in the Seattle-area is that there are a lot of trees, and the stunning fall colors remind me of home, which happens to be Montréal, Canada.
The last quarter of Deadly Obsession and all of Deadly Addiction (the first two books in my Deadly Vices series) take place in an area just north of Montréal. Nic and Rémi, my two heroes, have homes in a fictional town called St. Xavier that borders the Blackriver Reservation. The reserve’s namesake is a gorgeous river that borders St. Xavier and runs up into the reserve. The photo below is an old one of a place called Lac St. Denis in the Laurentian Mountains, sixty miles north of Montréal It’s very much how I imagine St. Xavier with the reserve across the river.
This photo represents the vast uninhabited sections of the Blackriver reserve where some very illicit behavior takes place in Deadly Addiction. Aren’t the colors beautiful?
If you’re looking for a book with sizzle and heat to keep you warm this fall, try DEADLY ADDICTION, the latest book in my Deadly Vices series.
A violent clash of cultures and nations tests the forbidden love between a Native American man and a white female cop.
When beautiful police sergeant Alyssa Morgan enters his life, Rémi Whitedeer never expects her to upend it. Not only does she have his hormones in an uproar, she’s also threatening to take the position he wants–Chief of Police for the Iroquois Blackriver Reservation. But Alyssa is more than a Barbie cop. Her ends-justifies-the-means philosophy, so different from his own, challenges Rémi on every level. With her sharp investigative skills and her fearlessness, she leads Rémi to confront bitter truths about his family and his standing as a man of mixed race within his tribe.
Tall hunky Rémi Whitedeer, of the panty-melting grin and the smoldering green eyes, flips Alyssa’s world ass over teakettle. She’s always had a laser-like focus on the job, but Rémi proves a constant distraction. His inner strength and sense of purpose strip away the winner-take-all attitude Alyssa wears like armor. Soon she’s longing for more–a more that terrifies and intrigues her. If he finds out the fine line she’d walked while undercover, will he still want her? And will she ever find the courage to let him–or anyone–that far in?
When Alyssa and Rémi uncover a drug-fueled scheme involving a biker gang from Alyssa’s past and a militant sovereigntist group led by Rémi’s cousin, they are forced to choose between their growing love for each other and the lives they’ve worked so hard to build. Will Rémi and Alyssa have to leave everything behind–even their identities–for the chance of a future together?

It’s hard to say what exactly would be my Go-To Autumn Romance book. When I think real hard about it, I would have to say it has a sexy, strong, determined male that when it comes to love is just lost. Then there has to be a woman who is usually in need of help or needs to know what love and family is. Together they heal each other and love turns out to be their greatest gift. I also love a happy ending at this time of year, usually where the epilogue has them starting their own family to love and cherish. Oh….and definitely HOT loving too!
Angelheart618@gmail.com
Kristine Cayne
Hot loving is high on my list as well, Angelheart! Good luck with the giveaways 🙂

Fall is my favorite season & I love everything about it! I love the colors, the crunch of leaves, hot apple cider, and bonfires. We visit Turkey Run and the Hoosier National Forest every fall. We started when I was a little girl and now I share this tradition with my own family.
Sassychassy333@gmail.com

Ann Q
I love the cooler weather after the heat of summer. Seattle is a place that I would love to visit, but, would not like to be cold all the time. annpa@gmail.com
Kristine Cayne
Ann – there are truly some die-hard Seattle fans. It really depends on how you handle heat. For me, the winter seems interminable if I haven't had a very healthy dose of hot summer days beforehand. I think I need to live in Florida or some place similar. 🙂 Thank you for commenting and best of luck with the giveaways!

Renee – oh yes. You're the first to bring up raking the leaves. It's not so bad when they are light and dry. But when they are wet and heavy as they are here, it's awful. We have to bribe our kids to rake them up for us. LOL. Thank you for stopping by. Best of luck with the giveaways!

I love the fall colors but do hate the leaf raking, it is hell on my allergies. I do love the cooler weather! Sad time for me right now as my husband and I are going to be separating. Thanks for the chance to win and Have A Great Thanksgiving!
Missy

Kristine Cayne
Oh Missy, I'm so sorry to hear that. Holidays can be a great time but they can also be very difficult and lonely for people going through personal troubles. Be strong and gather your friends close so you can be reminded of how much you are loved. Thank you for hopping with us and best of luck with the giveaways!
TamiW
The fall colors are gorgeous! I grew up in Southern Maine, and would love to visit that area again. My uncle still lives in Maine, and posts pictures regularly, which is just a very special treat for me. I used to love the way crisp cool mornings turned into warm afternoons and then cooled off. And autumn bonfires- the smells, the sights, the friendships… just all really good stuff, wonderful memories.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Tami

Tami – it sounds like you need a return visit to Maine! The way you describe it sounds so wonderful. I want to be there. 🙂 Thank you for hopping with us and best of luck with the giveaways!
Catherine Lee
I love everything about Fall–the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch (of the cool air). I especially love that the tourists are gone from my area, the lovely deserted beaches, and "sweater weather." I am the queen of sweater twin sets!
catherinelee100 at gmail dot com
Kristine Cayne
"Queen of the sweater twin sets!" Loved that, Catherine! Enjoy this quieter time so you'll be ready for the barrage of tourists when it returns. 🙂 Thank you for hopping with us and best of luck with the giveaways!

One thing I love about Autumn is all the snuggling, whether witha loved one or with a good book. When I was younger and living in Colo, we used to go to Manitou Springs, has beautiful trees every where and this little shop that made real salt water taffy,,it was awesome

lisarayns at gmail dot com
Kristine Cayne
Me too, Lisa – it's the best part! Thank you for hopping with us and best of luck with the giveaways!
Tina B
I loved the Northeast also! The colors are beautiful when the leaves change, but like you, I don't like when they fall off of the trees. To me, everything looks dead and bare then. I now live in Florida, so we don't really see season changes here.
I don't really have any family traditions, but love the holidays that come along in Autumn. 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
